David Bowie "Five Years" live on The Old Grey Whistle Test (1972년 방송)




Pushing thru the market square
so many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and he told us
earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse
it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things
to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, that's all we've got

Placebo "Twenty Years" live @ Live 8, Jul. 2, 2005



There are twenty years to go
and twenty years to know who will wear the hat.
There are twenty years to go,
the best of all i hope.
Enjoy the ride, the medicine show.
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye.
There are twenty years to go,
the faithful and the low.
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone.
There are twenty years the go,
the punch drunk and the blow.
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone.
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye.
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
But it's you I take 'cause your the truth not I.
There are twenty years to go.
A golden age I know.
But all will pass, will end to fast, you know.
There are twenty years to go,
and many friends I hope.
Though some may hold the rose some hold the rope.
And that's the end and that's the start of it.
That's the whole and that's the part of it.
That's the high and that's the heart of it.
That's the long and that's the short of it.
That's the best and that's the test in it.
That's the doubt, the doubt,
the trust in it.
That's the sight and that's the sound of it.
That's the gift and that's the trick in it.
You're the truth not I. 

합이 30년...
