R.E.M. Lyrics
"Sponge"
(originally by Vic Chestnutt)
Pleasure is melting like chocolate
My blue ribbon gumption is gone
All my gravy must have soaked into something
And the world...
The filthy steps, the cold concrete
The phony earth below my feet
The ancient odour of the streets
Yes the world it is a sponge
And when the crisis passes
When the coast is clear
I'll be buffed down to a liquid
And the world it is a sponge
Throughout this entire ugly outing
I've been mumbling the convex of what I should be shouting
But I'll soon be silent you'll soon hear nothing
'Cause the world it is a sponge

"Sponge"
(originalmente de Vic Chestnutt)
El placer se derrite como chocolate
Mi valor de listón azul se ha ido
Toda mi salsa debe haberse empapado en algo
Y el mundo...
Los escalones sucios, el hormigón frío
La tierra falsa bajo mis pies
El antiguo olor de las calles
Sí, el mundo es una esponja
Y cuando la crisis pase
Cuando la costa esté despejada
Me pulirán hasta convertirme en un líquido
Y el mundo es una esponja
A lo largo de esta fea salida
He estado murmurando lo convexo de lo que debería estar gritando
Pero pronto estaré en silencio, pronto no oirás nada
Porque el mundo es una esponja

Pero en la carretera del Che Guevara llenándose de gasolina
El hermano de Fidel Castro espía a una rica dama que está llorando

Manic Street Preachers - "Motorcycle Emptiness" La cultura chupa palabras
Detalla el odio y aliméntate de sonrisas
Organiza tu guerra tribal segura
Hiere, mutila, mata y esclaviza el gueto
Cada día viviendo una mentira
La vida se vende barata para siempre,...

Manteniéndome alejado de...
Crash Test Dummies - "God Shuffled His Feet" Después de siete días
Estaba bastante cansado, así que Dios dijo:
"Que haya un día
Sólo para picnics, con vino y pan"
Reunió a algunas personas que había creado
Creó mantas y se recostó a la sombra...
The The - "Love Is Stronger Than Death" Amor, amor, amor
Amor, amor, amor
Mi amigo y yo estábamos caminando
En la fría luz del luto
Las lágrimas pueden cegar los ojos, pero el alma no es engañada
En este mundo, incluso el invierno no es lo que parece...
