Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
AE I want to win this city in June BE I want to walk down to the harbor AE I want to play guitar like you BE I want a saint to be my cellmate
AE I want the last dream to come true BE A train in everyone’s back garden AE A tunnel to the heart of you BE A summer Sunday chiming off bodies brown
AE And the sleepy way you said my name BE As you turned and read my fortune AE And you picked up verses of ancient texts BE That were dripping with your legend
AE You turned to me and said BE You know you’re blowing all your chances AE I asked if there was time BE You said that nothing was decided
AE You played me music I hadn’t heard BE From a long lost 80's box set AE You cooked me dinner I never ate BE And we washed up all my dishes
AE The sun was bloody, the sky was dark BE And the bells they kept on ringing AE The rats were happy, the mice were full BE And there was something wrong with the plumbing
AE You showed me yesterday’s dress BE The one you nicked from Mary’s Market AE You tried to look like her BE Because you thought that I would like it
AE I liked you better I like you loads BE I like you unaffected AE Take your 80’s records your books by Joyce BE And you pack ‘em up for the summer
AE The wind was fooling again BE And the sun thought about setting AE You made the shadow shapes on the wall BE You thought I wasn’t watching
AE The wind was messing again BE And the sun thought about leaving AE You made the dirty shape on the wall BE You thought I wasn’t watching
AE It was liberating, your puppet dance BE It was our one true moment lasting AE You took the slipper you took the pear BE You made a still life out of nothing
AE I want a windless city in June BE I want to walk down to the shoreline AE I want infinity in a girl B I want a song that kills me.
