Silence is one of the great arts of conversation, as allowed by Cicero himself, who says, 'there is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.' A well bred woman may easily and effectually promote the most useful and elegant conversation without speaking a word. The modes of speech are scarcely more variable than the modes of silence.

Dream On Dreamer
16-04-2011
Dream on dreamer, starchild
Open your mind carefully
Dream on dreamer, ride home
Dreamshades changing endlessly
Enter worlds no one has seen
All at your command in your dreams
Sinking deeper, letting go
Let the story take you in
Dream on dreamer, fly home
Let the dream of dreams begin
Enter worlds no one has seen
All at your command in your dreams

Talking During Sex
15-04-2011
There's this whole talking-during-sex business, I mean, what are we doing here? The question is... does the talking really improve the sex? Or is the sex act now just there to spice up the conversation? Eventually, I'm sure people will get too lazy even for phone sex, they'll just start having phone machine sex. "Yeah, I want you really bad, just leave it on the tape." Then I guess, the phone company will come out with sex waiting. That'll be the new thing. "Yeah, hold on honey, I got another call.Oh, I baby, just one second. Honey, I've got to take this. Yeah, I've got sex waiting on the other line and I've got to take this."

True Gentleness
13-04-2011
"True gentleness is founded on a sense of what we owe to him who made us and to the common nature which we all share. It arises from reflection on our own failings and wants, and from just views of the condition and duty of man. It is native feeling heightened and improved by principle."
Hugh Blair

Lugar Nenhum

Acordo em lugar nenhum
Apanho a roupa do chão
Em solidão
Dá-me a tua mão
Ó sonho meu
Lá fora o sol encandeia
Aqui em lugar nenhum
Ficou no pó
Uma marca só
Doutro sonho meu
Eu nunca sei bem onde estou
Se estou sozinho
Às voltas em lugar nenhum
Eu já não sei ir pra casa
Há-de ser
Sempre assim
Belo princípio
Triste fim
Hoje já é amanhã
Amanhã foi ontem
Às voltas em lugar nenhum
Eu já só quero é ir pra casa
Eu já só quero é ir pra casa
Todas as histórias que eu sei
Acabam em lugar nenhum
Em solidão dá-me a tua mão

Give Me A Kiss
11-04-2011
Alvy Singer: Hey listen, gimme a kiss.
Annie Hall: Really?
Alvy Singer: Yeah, why not, because we're just gonna go home later, right, and then there's gonna be all that tension, we've never kissed before and I'll never know when to make the right move or anything. So we'll kiss now and get it over with, and then we'll go eat. We'll digest our food better.

Wake Up In Hell
09-04-2011
I can't go on
each second lasts forever
I stand motionless in sorrow
this must be the end
drown in waters black beneath me
I see nothing here but failure
though I still pretend
What am I suppose to do?
carry on or lose my will?
I've seen what hell is like
and you have put me here
this pain inside never ends for me
I cry myself to sleep
and when I wake I think
what am I living for?
Just when things are looking brighter
I get set back even further
back and forth, just try again
shame, the feeling that surrounds me
when I'm losing all control of
who I am and what I know
What am I suppose to do?
carry on or lose my will?
I've seen what hell is like
and you hve put me here
this pain inside never ends for me
I cry myself to sleep
and when I wake I think
what am I living for?
What am I suppose to do?

and you have put me here

Fire
08-04-2011
Something very scary and exciting about fire. People always run to see a fire. They're very proud if they have a fireplace. I think that's what smoking is really all about. That's the power of smoking. It's just this thing: I got fire here in my hand. Smoke and fire is literally coming right out of my mouth." And it's very intimidating to the nonsmoker because it's like talking to someone that's going "My head could open up. Lava could explode out, pour right down my face. Doesn't bother me a bit." And a cigar is even worse. I mean, a cigar is like: "you think this end is bad. Look at this wet, disgusting chewed up gum, huh?" How scary is that?

Don't Turn Away
06-04-2011
You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears
So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you
Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone
You say your heart is lost forever
And you're always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again
You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can't forget all your foolish pride
Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night is gone
So now I'm asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again
Don't turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride
Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone
Don't turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don't put me away,
Don't walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An' I'm coming for you, baby...

Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
Time has passed you by
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
And here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine

I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong

Skin O' My Teeth

I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see
Chorus
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o' my teeth
My blood flows through the streets
Deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills
On the dresser of my room
My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see
In time, the white lights a train
Bearing down on me
I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That which doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So, tag my toe and don't forget
Ooh to close the drawer

Black Rain
28-03-2011
The black rain is falling
Contaminating the ground
The human race is dying
The dead are scattered around
What is the price of a bullet?
Another hole in the head
A flag draped over a coffin
Another soldier is dead
How many victims have fallen
How many more have to die
People dying in masses
Angel of death standing by
We've got our marching orders
Defenders of our home and our pride
We've crossed too many borders
Military suicide
War killing sons and daughters
Another failed attack
There is no turning back
Blood running down like water
You'll think you got away
Until the judgment day comes
Politicians confuse me
I watch the body count rise
Why are the children all marching
Into the desert to die?
The human psyche is twisted
The madness rising again
Another empire falling
I watch them dying in vain
We've got our marching orders
Defenders of our home and our pride
We've crossed too many borders
Military suicide
war sends our sons to slaughter
Another failed attack
There is no turning back
Blood running down like water
You'll think you got away
Until the judgment day comes
Are you ready?
Black rain, black rain
Black rain, black rain
War killing sons and daughters

Alvy Singer: [narrating] After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.

The Quiet Room
22-03-2011
The California air
Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night
Scenes from home in the Quiet Room
How long have I been gone
Did winter kill the lawn
And all those polaroids you sent
Are on the wall in the Quiet Room
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I can't get my wrists to bleed
Just don't know why
Suicide appeals to me
The Quiet Room
Is sterilized and white
It's like a tomb
With just a moth stained naked night
Plastic forks and spoon
No laces in my shoes
They allknow what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room
This quiet place
It ain't so new to me
It's haunted atmosphere
Has heard so many scream
My home from home
My twilight zone
My strangest dream
My confidant
I have confessed my life
The Quiet Room
Knows more about me than my wife
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I just can't
I just can't get these damn wrists to bleed
A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone

Key Joke
18-03-2011
Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera] There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. The... the other important joke, for me, is one that's usually attributed to Groucho Marx; but, I think it appears originally in Freud's "Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious," and it goes like this - I'm paraphrasing - um, "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." That's the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.

Thanks but I'm broken
I guess
You must have misspoken
What a laugh
I've never been chosen by anyone
She was barely a teen
Hanging out in between
Just a part of the scene
With mercurial smile
And incurable style
She was only a dream
How's that
He didn't know a thing about
Making love to the kind of girl you read about
He said
I'm bound to be broken
My Daddy bet
That I'd amount to nothing
He won't let anybody show him anything
He was a troubled child
Had been down for a while
Always kept to himself
No she couldn't defend
He only wanted a friend
Now he's made something else
It's so sad no one saw it coming
The paper said that he hit the ground running
Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But still I'm not broken
I wanna laugh but I think that I'm choking on reality
When the
World is turning for you
Don't turn on me
Who are you here to repair
Well I don't know what you mean
You could never resist
Glorifying despair
Well now it's coming to you and I don't really care
Well I'm not
The kind to insist
You couldn't have missed
We must co exist
So please listen to me
There is no such thing as human debris
Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But dad I'm not so nothing
I wanna laugh

The Machine
15-03-2011
Ever called someone and were disappointed when they answer the phone? You wanted the machine. And you're always kinda throwning off. You go, "Oh, I... I didn't know you were there. I... I just wanted to leave a message saying, "Sorry I missed you"". So here what we have is two people who hate each other, don't really ever wanna talk, but the phone machine is like this relationship respirator, keeping this marginal brain-dead relationships alive and we all do it so when we come home you can see the little flashing red light. You go, "All right, messages". You see, people need that. It's very important for human beings to feel popular and well-liked amongst a large group of people we don't care for.

Haunting
13-03-2011
Sit down on that stool hear the cant of a fool
And a strange tale I’ll impart to ye
Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
’neath the burial chambers you see
One saturday night I got up on my bike
To go to a dance in the town
I set off at seven to be there at eleven
No thought of the rain coming down
As I pushed up the hill the rain started to spill
So for shelter I had to resort
Helter skelter I went as downhill I sped
To the trees at the old fairy fort
I pulled up my bike be a tree in the gripe
To find shelter out of the storm
The rain it came down and like stones beat the ground
But it was grand to be dry in that storm
I was dreaming away about better days
When a voice it says dirty ould night
I fell over me bike I got such a fright
When the ghostly voice bid me the night
I jumped up with a start gave the storm not a thought
As the hail beat a rhythm on me
And I stared at the tree that had spoken to me
Not a body was there I could see
The voice I had heard not another word said
As the hair on the head stood on me
And I said an our father as I peddled much faster
Away from that ghost haunted tree
For weeks and weeks after with nerves a disaster
Nowhere near that road would I go
And from dusk through the night I would shake with the fright
Of the tree that had haunted me so
Now whenever I go to a dance in the town
I make sure not to stop on the way
To be there for eleven I still leave at seven
But I go by a different way
The Pogues
Sit down on that stool hear the cant of a fool
And a strange tale I’ll impart to ye
Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
’neath the burial chambers you see
One saturday night I got up on my bike

Here I Go Again
10-03-2011
I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.
Just another heart in need of rescue
waiting on love's sweet charity
an' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.

I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

Bizarro World Negotiating
09-03-2011
[Jerry's Apartment]
Jerry brings his parents' cases from the bedroom. Helen is finishing packing.
MORTY: You shoulda told me it didn't work.
JERRY: I know, I know.
HELEN: You didn't have to throw it out.
JERRY: I was always late. It was frustrating me. I'm sorry, I really am.
The buzzer sounds.
HELEN: Oh, that must be Leo.
JERRY: I woulda taken you to the airport.
HELEN: He has nothing to do.
JERRY: Neither do I. (to intercom) Yeah?
GEORGE (O.S.): It's George.
JERRY: Come on up. (to parents) It's George.
MORTY: Oh, it's George.
HELEN: What ever happened with NBC and the deal?
JERRY: Ah, George turned it down.
HELEN: He turned it down?
JERRY: Yeah.
HELEN: Why did he do that?
JERRY: Because of Ted Danson.
HELEN: What does Ted Danson have to do with it?
MORTY: Maybe he doesn't like Ted Danson.
JERRY: (fetching a drink from the fridge) Hey, who knows, maybe we'll wind up getting more money.
George enters.
GEORGE: (to Jerry) Hey.
MORTY: Hey, Georgie-boy, how are ya?
GEORGE: Hey, Mr Seinfeld. (shakes Morty's hand) Hey, Mrs Seinfeld. How are you?
He approaches Helen for a greeting.
HELEN: What's the matter with you?
GEORGE: What'd I do?
JERRY: What about NBC? Did you hear anything?
GEORGE: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did.
Jerry looks expectantly, but George makes him wait.
GEORGE: We got a deal.
There is an outpouring of jubilation and congratulations aimed at George.
MORTY/HELEN/JERRY: (simultaneous) Hey!/That's wonderful!/We got a deal!
JERRY: Heyy! Terrific.
MORTY: You see, he had the right idea. Hold out. That's how you get the big money, huh George? (slaps George on the shoulder)
GEORGE: Uh, please, Morty.
MORTY: No, no, no. He knows how to talk to these people. No-one's gonna take advantage of Georgie. (slaps George's shoulder again)
GEORGE: I'm just happy to be working with your talented son...
JERRY: Aww...
GEORGE: ...Who's not doing this for the money.
JERRY: ...C'mon.
GEORGE: You have no idea how refreshing that is.
JERRY: So what'd we get?
GEORGE: (big smile) Eight thousand dollars.
JERRY: Beautiful!
GEORGE: (quietly) That's uh, for the two of us.
HELEN: Four thousand apiece?
JERRY: Lemme see if I understand this. In other words, you held out for... less money.
GEORGE: I was wrong, you were right.
JERRY: You know, the basic idea of negotiation, as I understand it, is to get your price to go... up.
GEORGE: You're smart, I'm dumb.
JERRY: You know, this is how they negotiate in the bizarro world.

Os filha da puta vivem arrumando desculpa
E motivos pra te pegar te usar e depois te desprezar
Te tomam tudo, a vida, a grana e a alma
E ainda querem que você tenha calma
Por isso eu vou falar
(Pode falar)
Vou contar
(Pode contar)
Sobre os filha da puta que só querem te roubar
Fundam uma igreja ora veja onde já se viu
Enriquecer com a fé alheia
(Puta-que-pariu)
E é inútil tentarmos abrir os olhos do povo
Pois se um abre os olhos mil olhos fecham de novo
E eles dizem que você está com o demônio
Mas o demônio habita no seu patrimônio
E eles farão o favor de tomar toda sua grana
Porque a grana pra eles é uma coisa profana
Só que aí o demônio vai parar com quem?
No bolso do pastor, e do bispo tamém
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
Filha da puta, escuta o que eu vou te dizer
Você está no poder agora mas um dia vai se fuder
Você está numa boa rindo a toa cheio de graça
Mas todos nós ainda vamos ver a sua desgraça
Você se esconde em Brasília essa ilha cercada de filha da puta
De político fajuto me escuta seu puto
Aprovando leis só para vocês e sua cambada
Arranjando obras superfaturadas
Eles te exploram te chupam o sangue
Só pensam no lucro da sua gangue
Então escuta, pensa e responda a pergunta
Todo político é um filha da puta?
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
E tem outra espécie
De filha da puta que me emputece
É o pai desnaturado machão frustrado que se esquece
De que o tempo das cavernas já passou
E bate na família quando não devia nem bater com uma flor
Na mulher nas crianças mostrando toda a autoridade
De um homem primata no seu machismo covarde
Quando você vê na rua uma mulher com o olho roxo
Tenha certeza que ela é a mulher de um frouxo
Um Zé Ruela que com ela é agressivo, sem diálogo
Trata como égua porque é um cavalo
O autoritário da família, não tem autoridade além da força bruta
Bate no filho e na filha porque é um filha da puta

And I'll wait here a while

That you didn't make a wrong turn
And I'll wait long enough
Maybe an hour or two
Before I decide it wasn't me, it was you
It wasn't me it was you
And I would like you to know
Although it seems sad to say
This was only the worst hour of my day
The worst hour of my day
How long has it been on your mind?
Do you think about it when we laugh?
I think that it's a big mistake
Because I think that we could make it last
Even if it's just for a while
And I'll wait here for now
Just long enough to be sure
That you really want to go through with this
Because I don't really want to go through with this
Do you really want to go through with this?

Elmer Fudd Stting On A Juicer

Naomi is handing her card to Jerry.
JERRY: I can't believe I'm doing this. I never do stuff like this.
NAOMI: (joking) Really? I give out my number to just about every customer who comes in here.
JERRY: Oh. (chuckles) Really? You don't seem that desperate.
NAOMI: (playing it straight) Oh yeah. Actually, I'm a little disappointed. I kind of had my eye on uncle Leo.
JERRY: Uh huh. Well uh, I'll give you a call, and thanks for the fish. By the way, you know why fish are so thin?
NAOMI: Why?
JERRY: They eat fish.
Naomi starts to laugh at his joke. It is, of course, the laugh later described as 'Elmer Fudd sitting on a juicer'. It's loud and persistent. Jerry leaves, but then leans back around the corner with a look of disbelief on his face.
