I remember it was a perfect night!

Nightswimming
by R.E.M.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday

Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me,
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath
Nightswimming

The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.

MORE, MORE, MORE!!!

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumpin' cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a license for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried - "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried - "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe - "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell - "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you here by me*

Utopia

Tienes labios de saber besar
pero es que en ti es dificil no imaginar
y a veces me quedo quieta en mi utopia
te dejo, me dejo y sudo de alegria
te dejo, me dejo y siento tu venida
En la solitaria y bella oscuridad
voy quitandome el deseo por ti
me consuela la serena inmensidad
de las cosas que yo puedo sentir
y si acaso ves mi luz o mi seéal no des vuelta *

~ * ~

You have lips that appear to know how to kiss
And in you it is difficult not to daydream
And sometimes I remain quietly in my utopia
I let you, I let myself and I sweat with happiness
I let you, I let myself and I feel your arrival
In the lonely and beautiful darkness
I let go of my desire for you
I'm consoled by the serene immensity
of the things that I can feel
And if by chance you see my light or my signal, don't turn.

Traveling on to new shorelines seeking...

Love is a hazard in lower Manhattan
You cannot escape, and musn't be saddened
By men who abandon your eyes for another's
There are always Brazilian boys to discover

Set your sights straight now
Don't forget pain
Drink 'til tomorrow becomes yesterday
Think of the shorelines you have yet to see
Men who will hold you with eyes you believe

On the way I will go
Where the days left to breathe
Are not gone, are still long
I am traveling on *

One more time

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

Like dragonflies

Brooklyn Bridge
by Sxip Shirey

High up on the roof the dawn is breaking
We're kissing
The trafficopters fly
Above the the Brooklyn Bridge
We are so high, they're not so far
Like dragonflies above the cars
And we've been up all night
Drinking whiskey and laughing
What were the reasons why?

But we should not be kissing here
High up on the roof, my dear
The trafficopters fly
Above the the Brooklyn Bridge
We are so high, they're not so far
Like dragonflies above the cars
And we have kissed to the dreaming
Of a million people sleeping
A million people waking to find
That the sun is in the sky

Praying for rain!!!

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get absolutely soaking wet!

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean; rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took for the Heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
