Ele ia andando pela rua meio apressado
Ele sabia que tava sendo vigiado
Cheguei para ele e disse "ei amigo, você pode me ceder um cigarro?"
Ele disse eu dou, mas vá fumar lá do outro lado
Dois homens fumando juntos pode ser muito arriscado
Disse o prato mais caro do melhor banquete é
O que se come cabeça de gente
Que pensa e os canibais de cabeça descobrem aqueles que pensam
Porque quem pensa, pensa melhor parado
Desculpe minha pressa, fingindo atrasado
Trabalho em cartório mas sou escritor
Perdi minha pena nem sei qual foi o mês
Metrô linha 743

O homem apressado me deixou e saiu voando
Aí eu me encostei num poste e fiquei fumando
Três outros chegaram com pistolas na mão,
Um gritou mão na cabeça malandro, se não quiser levar chumbo quente nos cornos
Eu disse "claro, pois não, mas o que é que eu fiz?"
Se é documento eu tenho aqui
Outro disse "não interessa, pouco importa, fique aí"
Eu quero saber o que você estava pensando
Eu avalio o preço me baseando no nível mental
Que você anda por aí usando
E aí eu lhe digo o preço que sua cabeça agora está custando
Minha cabeça caída, solta no chão
Eu vi meu corpo sem ela pela primeira e última vez
Metrô linha 743

Jogaram minha cabeça oca no lixo da cozinha
Eu era agora um cérebro, um cérebro vivo à vinagrete
Meu cérebro logo pensou que seja, mas nunca fui tietê
Fui posto à mesa com mais dois
E eram três pratos raros, e foi o maitre que pôs
Senti horror ao ser comido com desejo por um senhor alinhado
Meu último pedaço, antes de ser engolido ainda pensou grilado:
Quem será este desgraçado dono desta zorra toda?
Já 'tá tudo armado, o jogo dos caçadores canibais
Mas o negócio é que da muito bandeira
Dá bandeira demais meu Deus
Cuidado brother, cuidado sábio senhor
É um conselho sério pra vocês
Eu morri e nem sei mesmo qual foi aquele mês
Metrô linha 743
É por aí

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
