στο χέρι


Oh well the sun go down
Celebration in the town tonight
All day long
They been slaughtering upon the stone
Share out the meat
Yeah, you really like to eat
Come on woman, come follow me home
(Dire Straits, "Follow Me Home", 1996)

8th jazz fest


Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot
("All That Jazz", 1979)

the gallery


And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at all
He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
While the dealers they get together
And they decide who gets the breaks
And who's going to be in the gallery
(Mark Knopfler, "In The Gallery", 1978)

μπαλόνια


Any minute now I'm expectin' all hell to break loose.
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm outta range
I used to care, but things have changed.
(Bob Dylan, "Things Have Changed", 2000)

walking back in time II


While I pondered on this dangerous but
I took a heavenly ride through one silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
(Pink Floyd, "Coming Back to Life", 1994)

the candy man


Buy eight red balls of bubble gum,
From the penny candy man.
Eight cents will buy you eight licorice sticks,
Whip and snap like rubber.
Eight cents buys eight valentine hearts
(Sesame Street, "Penny Candy Man")

French kiss in Athens


Young love was kissing under bridges
Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes
And we were walking down Main Street
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
"In France they kiss on Main Street"
"Amour, mama, not cheap display"
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
(Joni Mitchell, "In France They Kiss On Main Street", 1975)

Hidden Path




Show me the way and I'll follow you today
Show me the way
No more darkness. No more wasted time
Show me the way
Let me stay here with this heart of mine
And with you I feel no hidden path
No hidden path
(Neil Young, "No Hidden Path")

γραμμές


At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire
(Bruce Springsteen, I'm On Fire, 1982)

time is on my side


Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back
You'll come running back
You'll come running back to me
Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
(Jerry Ragovoy, 1963)

the other side


We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
(The Doors, "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", 1965)
