For scavengers like me

Half black, half white

magic, I mean.

"Quizás, Quizás, Quizás"

Siempre que te pregunto

Que, cuándo, cómo y dónde

Tú siempre me respondes

Quizás, quizás, quizás

Y así pasan los días

Y yo, desesperando

Y tú, tú contestando

Quizás, quizás, quizás

Estás perdiendo el tiempo

Pensando, pensando

Por lo que más tú quieras

Hasta cuándo? Hasta cuándo?

Y así pasan los días

Y yo, desesperando

Y tú, tú contestando

Quizás, quizás, quizás

Estás perdiendo el tiempo

Pensando, pensando

Por lo que más tú quieras

Hasta cuándo? Hasta cuándo?

Y así pasan los días

Y yo, desesperando

Y tú, tú contestando

Quizás, quizás, quizás

Oh, painful, unrequired love To be honest, Damien's songs while very passionate, are too mawkish for me. There are millions of chicks, you know ?


Anyway, love the woman's voice. Her black magic must be unforgetable

The blower's daughter - Damien Rice

And so it is

Just like you said it would be

Life goes easy on me

Most of the time

And so it is

The shorter story

No love, no glory

No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...

And so it is

Just like you said it should be

We'll both forget the breeze

Most of the time

And so it is

The colder water

The blower's daughter

The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes off you

I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?

Did I say that I want to

Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off you...

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind off you

I can't take my mind...

My mind...my mind...

Black magic is smt you encounter mostly when you're young and fresh. (If not, poor you...) Deep inside your heart, joys disarm you, desires blind you and fears paralyze you. The need to feel grows overwhelming, no matter what it is, sweet or bitter, happiness or sorrow. Being enchanted by your own melodramas, you drown and say to your naive self : it must be love.

How can I think I'm standing strong,

Yet feel the air beneath my feet?

How can happiness feel so wrong?

How can misery feel so sweet?

How can you let me watch you sleep,

Then break my dreams the way you do?

How can I have got in so deep?

Why did I fall in love with you?

[CHORUS:]

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been

Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,

This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,

I was never crazy on my own...

And now I know that there's a link between the two,

Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart

Then break my fall with loving lies?

It's so easy to break a heart;

It's so easy to close your eyes.

How can you treat me like a child

Yet like a child I yearn for you?

How can anyone feel so wild?

How can anyone feel so blue?

[CHORUS]

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been

Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,

This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,

I was never crazy on my own...

And now I know that there's a link between the two,

Being close to craziness and being close to you.

"By the time you swear you're his,

Shivering and sighing,

And he vows his passion is

Infinite, undying -

Lady, make a note of this:

One of you is lying."

Dorothy Parker, Unfortunate Coincidence

.
Well, this time it is about a man who's under black magic ... or pretending to be, who knows.

One of my favorite songs, its lyric is beautiful and suprisingly stupid in the end, I would consider itself a piece of black magic.



I know just how to whisper,

And I know just how to cry;

I know just where to find the answers;

And I know just how to lie.

I know just how to fake it,

And I know just how to scheme;

I know just when to face the truth,

And then I know just when to dream.

And I know just where to touch you,

And I know just what to prove;

I know when to pull you closer,

And I know when to let you loose.

And I know the night is fading,

And I know that times gonna fly;

And Im never gonna tell you everything

Ive got to tell you,

But I know Ive got to give it a try.

And I know the roads to riches,

And I know the ways to fame;

I know all the rules

And then I know how to break em

And I always know the name of the game.



But I dont know how to leave you,

And Ill never let you fall;

And I dont know how you do it,

Making love out of nothing at all

(making love)

Out of nothing at all...





Every time I see you all the rays of the sun

Are streaming through the waves in your hair;

And every star in the sky is taking aim

At your eyes like a spotlight,

The beating of my heart is a drum, and its lost

And its looking for a rhythm like you.

You can take the darkness from the pit of the night

And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.

Ive got to follow it, cause everything I know, well its nothing till I give it to you.



I can make the run or stumble,

I can make the final block;

And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,

I can make all the stadiums rock.

I can make tonight forever,

Or I can make it disappear by the dawn;

And I can make you every promise that has ever been made,

And I can make all your demons be gone.



But Im never gonna make it without you,

Do you really want to see me crawl?

And Im never gonna make it like you do,

Making love out of nothing at all.



(making love)

Out of nothing at all ...

Let's see
An example of a woman under black magic

No, no intentes disculparte

No juegues a insistir

Las excusas ya existían antes de ti

No, no me mires como antes

No hables en plural

La retórica es tu arma más letal

Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más

Siento que me duelas todavía aquí

Adentro

Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es

Romperle el corazón a alguien así

No se puede vivir con tanto veneno,

La esperanza que me dio tu amor

No me la dio más nadie,

Te juro, no miento

No se puede vivir con tanto veneno

No se puede dedicar el alma

A acumular intentos

Pesa más la rabia que el cemento

Espero que no esperes que te espere

Después de mis 26

La paciencia se me ha ido hasta los pies

Y voy deshojando margaritas

Y mirando sin mirar

Para ver si así, te irritas y te vas

Voy a pedirte que no vuelvas más

Siento que me duelas todavía aquí

Adentro

Y que a tu edad sepas bien lo que es

Romperle el corazón a alguien así

No se puede vivir con tanto veneno

La esperanza que me dio tu amor

No me la dio más nadie

Te juro, no miento

No se puede morir con tanto veneno

No se puede dedicar el alma

A acumular intentos

Pesa más la rabia que el cemento

No, don't try to apologize

Don't play the game of persistence

Excused existed before you did



No, dont look at me like before,

Don't talk in plural

Rhetoric is your most lethal weapon



I'm going to ask you to never come back again

I regret that you still can hurt me, here,

Inside



And that at your age you already know well

What its like to break someone's heart like this



No, one can't live with so mucn venom

The hope your love gave me

No one else has given me

I swear



No, one can't die with so much venom

One shouldn't devote the soul

To collecting attempts

Rage weighs more than cement



I expect that you dont expect that i expect you

After turning twenty six

Patience has sunk all the way down to my feet



So here i pluck daisy petals

While I'm looking without seeing

To find our if you'll get irritated and leave



I'm going to ask you not to come back ever again

I regret that you still can hurt me, here,

Inside



And that at your age you already know well

What is like to break someone's heart like this



No, one can't live with so much venom

The hope your love gave me

No one else has given me

I swear



No, one can't die with so much venom

One shouldn't devote the soul

To collecting attempts

Rage weighs more than cement
