You must think that I'm stupid

You must think that I'm a fool

You must think that I'm new to this

But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me

'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinkin' I'm heartless

I know you're thinkin' I'm cold

I'm just protectin' my innocence

I'm just protectin' my soul

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me

'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way to good at goodbyes

(I'm way to good at goodbyes)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No way that you'll see me cry

(No way that you'll see me cry)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No

No, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No, no, no, no

No, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

(No way that you'll see me cry)

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

'Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes.

Um canto, um silêncio, um voz qui ca soá

Um mágoa entranhóde na coração

Um surto di dor, lágrima cristalina

Pa consolança d'um perdido amor

Carícia tão leve d'um beijo tão breve

Um gosto, um sabor revelóde moda uma flor

Lembrança dum sonho ta fluctuá na nha mente

Presença ausente di bô carinho

Um canção ta nascê novamente

Pa trazê um razão di nô crê

Voz d'amor ta bem ser voz activa

Seu grito ta intchí nôs alma

Um canção ta nascê novamente

Pa trazê um razão di nô crê

Voz d'amor ta bem ser voz activa

Seu grito ta intchí nôs alma

E coração di mundo intêr

E coração di mundo intêr

…

DAVID BOWEI

SONGWRITERS: DAVID BOWIE & BRIAN ENO

WHERE: LIVE IN BERLIM 2002

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: HEROES

LABEL: RCA RECORDS

GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL

YEAR: 1977

"Heroes" is the 12th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on RCA Records on 14 October 1977. The second installment of his Berlin Trilogy recorded with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti, "Heroes" continued the ambient experiments of Bowie's previous album Low (released earlier that year) and featured the contributions of King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp. Of the three albums, it was the only one wholly recorded in Berlin.

It was well received by critics, and was named NME Album of the Year. The title track remains one of Bowie's best known and acclaimed songs. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can beat them, just for one day

We can be heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean

And I, I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

Yes, we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together

We could steal time, just for one day

We can be heroes, forever and ever

What'd you say?

I, I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

We can beat them, forever and ever

Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can be heroes, just for one day

We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)

Standing, by the wall (by the wall)

And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)

And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

And the shame, was on the other side

Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever

Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

Just for one day

We can be heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh.

IT DOESN’T MATTER TO HIM

JOHN GRANT

SONGWRITER: JOHN GRANT

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: PALE GREEN GHOSTS

LABEL: BELLA UNION

GENRE: SOFT ROCK

YEAR: 2013

John Grant (born July 25, 1968) is an American singer-songwriter. Formerly associated with the Denver-based alternative rock band The Czars, he launched a career as a solo artist in 2010 with the release of the Midlake produced album Queen of Denmark.

In 2015, his third solo studio álbum Grey Tickles, Black Pressure was received to critical acclaim.

Pale Green Ghosts is the second solo album by former The Czars frontman John Grant, released on March 11, 2013 on the Bella Union label. Pale Green Ghosts was recorded in Reykjavík, Iceland with Icelandic electronic musician Birgir Þórarinsson (a.k.a. Biggi Veira) of electro-pop group Gus Gus, and also features a range of local musicians on the album as well as Sinéad O'Connor singing backing vocals.

The title refers to the Russian olive trees that stand along the I-25 highway near Grant's family home in the small town of Parker, Colorado.

Pale Green Ghosts was chosen as Album of the Year 2013 by Rough Trade.

If I think about it, I am successful, as it were.

I get to sing for lovely people all over this lovely world.

And I am nowhere near as awkward as I was when I was younger.

I guess I'm one of those guys who gets better looking as they age.

And even though I have felt beaten down by constant doubt,

Depression, and confusion brought about by people's actions, death, and tax forms,

I keep getting up. And I am loved by all my friends and family;

Though, there have been lots of raised eyebrows
And concerned glances lately.

[Chorus]

It doesn't matter to him.

I could be anything,

But I could never win his heart again.

It doesn't matter to him.

He took away my AAA pass.

I am invisible to him.

And now I feel the soft, pink flesh of my heart hardening

To the countless possibilities contained within each day.

Vulnerability feels like a cold, wet concrete room lit with fluorescent light,

Which, as you know, makes everything look bad.

I still keep trying to figure out how I became irrelevant,

How I got myself evicted from his heart from one day to the next.

And the worst part is that, even if I got an answer right now,

It would not change anything because we have become two strangers.

[Chorus x2]

It doesn't matter to him.

I could be anything,

But I could never win his heart again.

It doesn't matter to him.

He took away my AAA pass.

I am invisible to him.
