Red Barchetta - Rush

Red Barchetta

Rush



Lyrics:
My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...

Wind!
In my hair!
Shifting and drifting!
Mechanical music!
Adrenalin surge...

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.

Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.

Letra:
Mi tío tiene una casa en el campo
que nadie conoce.
Él dice que solía ser una granja,
antes de la Ley del Motor.
Y los Domingos, ignoro a los Ojos,
y me subo al Transporte a Turbina
hacia más allá de la Conexión,
donde me espera mi tío de pelos canosos.

Salto hacia el suelo
mientras el Turbo desacelera para cruzar la Línea Divisoria.
Corre como el viento,
mientras los escalofríos de excitación suben y bajan por mi columna.
allá en su granero,
mi tío conservó para mí una vieja máquina,
por cincuenta extraños años.
Mantenerlo como nuevo ha sido su sueño más preciado.

Retiro los antiguos escombros
que esconden un carro brillante.
Un brillante Barchetta rojo
de una mejor época, desvanecida.
Enciendo el motor dispuesto,
respondiendo con un rugido.
Las llantas escupen la grava,
cometo mi crimen semanal...

¡Viento!
¡en mi pelo!
¡cambiando y fluyendo!
¡música mecánica!
oleada de adrenalina...

Cuero bien curtido,
metal caliente y aceite,
el olor del campo perfumado.
Luz solar sobre el cromo,
la imagen borrosa del paisaje,
cada nervio listo.

De repente, delante de mí,
a través de la ladera (de la montaña),
una reluciente aleación de aire con carro
dispara hacia mí, con dos carriles de ancho.
Me doy vueltas con llantas chirriantes,
para recorrer la carrera mortal,
yendo gritando a través del valle
como otro que se une a la persecución.

Conduce como el viento,
forzando los límites de la máquina y del hombre.
Gritando en voz alta
con miedo y esperanza, tengo un plan desesperado.
En el puente de un solo carril
dejo a los gigantes varados en la orilla.
Regreso a la granja, para soñar con mi tío junto a la chimenea.

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
