Stuck

Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too
Are they bleeding all your colours into one?
And if you come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult that fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come...

Or if you're stuck in square one.

Coldplay, Square One.

Bla, bla, bla...

La inflación, malversación
De los fondos de la nación
Las drogas, el alcohol, el paro, la corrupción
Todo esto ya se acabó

Ya llegan las elecciones, me tienes que votar
Ya está aquí el salvador
¡que bonitas palabras digo en televisión!
Marketing de salón

No nos deis la vara con el rollo de siempre
Anda, ponte el mono y vete al "tajo" a ver que sientes

Te abrazaré, te besaré
A mil niños tendré que coger
Vota aquí, vota allá, vótame, vótale...
Todos locos por el poder

¿que tiene la moncloa que les hace olvidar
Que fuí yo quien les voté?
Izquieras o derechas, todos quieren pastel
Cumplid con vuestro deber

No nos deis la vara...
Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla
Bla, bla, bla y más bla
Si tu bla, yo más bla, tu bla bla yo bla bla
Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla

Ya llegan las elecciones, me tienes que votar
Ya está aquí el salvador
Izquieras o derechas, todos quieren pastel
Cumplid con vuestro deber

No nos deis la vara...
Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla
Bla, bla, bla y más bla
Si tu bla, yo más bla, tu bla bla yo bla bla
Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla

Ska-P - Bla, bla, bla...

La noche

No consigo dormir. Tengo una mujer atravesada entre los párpados. Si pudiera, le diría que se vaya; pero tengo una mujer atravesada en la garganta.

Eduardo Galeano en El libro de los abrazos.

Honeymoon is over

ROMEO

She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air.

…

JULIET

If they do see thee, they will murder thee.

ROMEO

Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity.

JULIET

I would not for the world they saw thee here.

ROMEO

I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;
And but thou love me, let them find me here:
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.

…

ROMEO

Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?

JULIET

But to be frank, and give it thee again.
And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.

…

ROMEO

O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard.
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
Too flattering-sweet to be substantial.

...

ROMEO

Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!
Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest!
Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell,
His help to crave, and my dear hap to tell.
