The White Stripes - Hardest Button To Button

Here we go again... The White Stripes this time. Awesome song! This was released in 2003.

We started living in an old house

My ma' gave birth and we were checking it out

It was a baby boy, so we bought him a toy

It was a ray gun and it was 1981

We named him "Baby", he had a toothache

He started crying, It sounded like an earthquake

It didn't last long because I stopped it

I grabbed a rag doll and stuck some little pins in it


Now we're a family and we're all right now

We got money and a little place to fight now

We don't know you and we don't owe you

But if you see us around, I got something else to show you


Now it's easy when you don't know better

You think it's sleazy then put it in a short letter

We keep warm but there's just something wrong when you

Just feel like you're the hardest little button to button

I had opinions that didn't matter

I had a brain that felt like pancake batter

I got a backyard with nothing in it

Except a stick, a dog and a box with something in it

The hardest button to button


The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button, ah oh

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button, ah oh

The hardest button to button


The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button, ah oh

Vesa-Matti Loiri & Samuli Edelmann - Tuomittuna kulkemaan

Vey good song, but... As the picture tells, Vesa-Matti Loiri has passed away. He was great in Uuno -movies. I've tried to hunt the movie Tie pohjoiseen (Road North), but haven't founded it. Sure, you can find used version of it in the net, but I want a new one. Maybe I'll cave in, we shall see. This was released in 2013.

Nousin kanssa auringon

Meren rantaa kulkemaan

Ääretöntä katselin

Jotain melkein aavistin

Rakastuneet kulkee taas

Puiden alle käsikkäin

Heidän näkevän sen näin

Mä mitä vaille itse jäin


Oon tuomittuna kulkemaan

Kulman taa ja seuraamaan

Kaupunki kaunis valoissaan

On mulle varjo musta vaan


Sydän kuulee puheen tän

Näkyväiseen kiintymään

Ei silti tyydy pelkästään

Miksei, en tiedä itsekään

Se jokin mitä odottaa

Jossen täällä kiinni saa

Se tuskin on, mä tiedän sen

Mun ikäväni arvoinen


Oon tuomittuna kulkemaan

Kulman taa jo seuraavaan

Kaupunki kaunis valoissaan

On mulle varjo musta vaan


Oon tuomittuna kulkemaan

Kulman taa ja seuraamaan

Kaupunki kaunis valoissaan

On mulle varjo musta vaan


Oon tuomittuna kulkemaan

Kulman taa ja seuraamaan

Kaupunki kaunis valoissaan

On mulle varjo musta vaan

Jackson Browne The Load Out & Stay (Live BBC 1978)

Now we get two stones with one rock (or something like that :D). Jackson Browne presents The Load Out & Stay in a row. Both released in 1977. I got only one word: ENJOY!!

Now the seats are all empty

Let the roadies take the stage

Pack it up and tear it down

They're the first to come and last to leave

Working for that minimum wage

They'll set it up in another town

Tonight the people were so fine

They waited there in line

And when they got up on their feet they made the show

And that was sweet,

But I can hear the sound

Of slamming doors and folding chairs

And that's a sound they'll never know


Now roll them cases out and lift them amps

Haul them trusses down and ge t'em up them ramps

'Cause when it comes to moving me

You know you guys are the champs

But when that last guitar's been packed away

You know that I still want to play

So just make sure you got it all set to go

Before you come for my piano


But the band's on the bus

And they're waiting to go

We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago

Or Detroit, I don't know

We do so many shows in a row

And these towns all look the same

We just pass the time in our hotel rooms

And wander 'round backstage

Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd

And we remember why we came


Now we got country and western on the bus

R&B, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo

We've got rural scenes and magazines

And We've got truckers on the cb

We've got Richard Pryor on the video

We got time to think of the ones we love

While the miles roll away

But the only time that seems too short

Is the time that we get to play


People you've got the power over what we do

You can sit there and wait

Or you can pull us through

Come along, sing the song

You know you can't go wrong

'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down

You're going to wake up in your town

But we'll be scheduled to appear

A thousand miles away from here


---


People stay

Just a little bit longer

We want to play

Just a little bit longer


Now the promoter don't mind

And the union don't mind

If we take a little time

And we leave it all behind, and sing

One more song


Oh, won't you stay

Just a little bit longer?

Please, please, please

Say you will, say you will


Oh, won't you stay

Just a little bit longer?

Oh please, please stay

Just a little bit more


Now the promoter don't mind

And the roadies don't mind

If we take a little time

And we leave this all behind and sing

One more song

Mark Knopfler - Sailing To Philadelphia

A little less know artist, Mark Knopfler. At least I dont know much about him, can't even tell another song from this. But this (Sailing To Philadelphia) is a good song. One hit wonder? Maybe, I gotta research the shit out of this... This was released in 2000.


A glass of wine with you, sir
And the ladies I'll enjoy
All Durham and Northumberland
Is measured up by my own hand
It was my fate from birth
To make my mark upon the earth

He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky
They'd cut me out for baking bread
But I had other dreams instead
This baker's boy from the west country
Would join the Royal Society

We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker's boy
In the forests of the Iroquois

Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Come up and feel the sun
A new morning has begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here

We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Runnin' Down A Dream

Now we have Tom Petty (And The Heartbreakers). Tom Petty has been here before with My Back Pages (with some others music man's). But now we have Runnin' Down A Dream, good song! This was released in 1989.

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on, I was drivin'

Trees went by, me and Del were singin'

Little Runaway

I was flyin'


Yeah, runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream


I felt so good, like anything was possible

Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes

The last three days the rain was unstoppable

It was always cold, no sunshine


Yeah, runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream


I rolled on, the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down to make some time

There's something good waitin' down this road

I'm pickin' up whatever's mine


I'm runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

Yeah, I'm runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

I'm runnin' down a dream
