Jacob's Ladder - Jethro Tull

 Jacob's Ladder

Jethro Tull


Lyrics:

[Genesis 25: 27 - 33]

 

Who cares about the family silver

That glints in dusty halls

Lined with badly painted landscapes

On badly painted walls?

Who cares for family favourites

Dangling from the family tree?

That Auntie Mabel loved you more

Loved you, loved you more than me

 

We're not old fools of competition

Jacob's tales or superstition

But siblings born in equal grace

Seated at set-table place

 

Same old chances, toss of dice:

Evil eyes look twice as nice

Blood runs thicker, blood runs cold;

Seize legacy before it's sold

 

Who cares if I am comfortable

In leafy rural lane

While you are tied to drudgery

Left staring at the rain

That washes out your young ambition

Hung out left to dry

And wither on the washing line

Washed out, washed-out butterfly

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Letra:

[Génesis 25: 27 - 33]

 

A quien le importa la plata familiar

Que brilla en pasillos polvorientos

Bordeado de paisajes mal pintados

¿En paredes mal pintadas?

¿A quién le importan los favoritos de la familia?

Que cuelgan del árbol genealógico?

Que la tía Mabel te quería más

Te amaba, te amaba más que a mí

 

No somos viejos tontos de la competencia

Cuentos de Jacob o superstición

Pero los hermanos nacidos en igual gracia

Sentado en el lugar de la mesa puesta

 

Las mismas posibilidades de siempre, tirada de dados:

Los ojos malvados se ven el doble de bonitos.

La sangre corre más espesa, la sangre se enfría;

Aprovecha el legado antes de que se venda

 

A quién le importa si estoy cómodo

En un camino rural frondoso

Mientras estás atado a la monotonía

A la izquierda mirando la lluvia

Eso lava tu joven ambición

Colgado a la izquierda para secar

Y se marchita en la línea de lavado

Mariposa descolorida, descolorida

§1 - Opeth

 §1 Opeth Lyrics: Draped in death, the howl of lore Draped in death, the howl of lore   Alas, my time is at an end I have wallowed in self-pity And I confess to you As part of final plight   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   A syndicates mass in the waiting room Like spiders weave And rumors spread fast above regal tombs Enacted grief   I will here unearth the secrets I've been hiding (hiding, hiding) And guide my children through my trials   Put your trust in my command I thin the blood. I lift my hand   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   Letra: Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición   Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición     Ay, mi tiempo ha llegado...

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  ------------------------------------------...

The Alien - Dream Theater

 The Alien Dream Theater Lyrics: Look beyond the Earth, heading set for the stars Interplanetary, some are near, some are far Terraform a new world, survival for mankind Options but a few, we are running out of time   Should you climb aboard A voyage, the first of its kind Ready to explore All that you've known left behind   Our Holy Grail Now redefined Our purpose, a thread Weaving through time Now with the means to expand Life beyond here, digital man   Alien, changed forever New found world in the stars   Understand the meaning Certain we'll extend the scale of consciousness Woman, child and man Multi planet species out amongst the stars Not stuck in and around who and what we are   Time to climb aboard Countdown to takeoff on time Systems are online (5, 4, 3, 2) Farewell to all humankind (1)   Our Holy Grail Clearly defined Our purpose, a thread Weaving through time Now wi...
