Gosta de sentir a minha língua roçar a língua de Luís de Camões
Gosto de ser e de estar
E quero me dedicar a criar confusões de prosódia
E uma profusão de paródias que encurtem dores
E furtem cores como camaleões
Gosto do Pessoa na pessoa
Da rosa no Rosa
E sei que a poesia está para a prosa
Assim como o amor está para a amizade
E quem há de negar que esta lhe é superior?
(E quem há de negar que esta lhe é superior?)
E deixe os Portugais morrerem à míngua
Minha pátria é minha língua
Fala Mangueira! Fala! (Iiá)

Flor do Lácio Sambódromo
Lusamérica, latim em pó
O que quer, o que pode esta língua?

Vamos atentar para a sintaxe dos paulistas
E o falso inglês relax dos surfistas
Sejamos imperialistas! Cadê?
(Sejamos imperialistas!)
Vamos na velô da dicção choo-choo de Carmem Miranda
E que o Chico Buarque de Holanda nos resgate
E xeque-mate
Explique-nos, Luanda
Ouçamos com atenção os deles e os delas da TV Globo
Sejamos o lobo do lobo do homem
Lobo do lobo do lobo do homem
Adoro nomes
Nomes em 'ã'
De coisas, como 'rã' e 'ímã'
Ímã ímã ímã ímã ímã ímã ímã ímã
Nomes de nomes
Como Scarlet Moon de Chevalier
Glauco Mattoso e Arrigo Barnabé e Maria da Fé
E Arrigo Barnabé

Incrível, é melhor fazer uma canção
Está provado que só é possível filosofar em alemão
Se você tem uma ideia incrível
É melhor fazer uma canção
Está provado que só é possível filosofar em alemão
Blitz quer dizer 'corisco'
Hollywood quer dizer 'Azevedo'
E o Recôncavo, e o Recôncavo, e o Recôncavo meu medo

A língua é minha pátria
E eu não tenho pátria, tenho mátria
E quero frátria

A língua é minha pátria
E eu não tenho pátria, tenho mátria
E quero frátria

A língua é minha pátria
E eu não tenho pátria, tenho mátria
E quero frátria

Poesia concreta, prosa caótica
Ótica futura
Samba-rap, chic-left com banana
(Será que ele está no Pão de Açúcar?)
Tá 'craude', brô
Você e tu, lhe amo
Que qu'eu te faço, nego?
Bote ligeiro!
(Yê-yeah-yê-ah)

Ma' de brinquinho, Ricardo!?
Teu tio vai ficar desesperado
Ó, Tavinho, põe esta camisola pra dentro
Assim mais pareces um espantalho
I'd like to spend some time in Mozambique

(Arigatô, arigatô!)
Nós canto-falamos como quem inveja negros
Que sofrem horrores no Gueto do Harlem
Livros, discos, vídeos à mancheia
E deixa que digam, que pensem, que falem

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
