Quotes - Poems - Lyrics - Words Funeral Blues - Around The Corner - Quote from Hamlet - Enjoy The Silence - Latin Sayings Funeral Blues Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with a muffled drum, Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead, Scribbling on the sky the message `He Is Dead', Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policeman wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. WH Auden Around The Corner Around the corner I have a friend, In this great city that has no end, Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone. And I never see my old friends face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell. And he rang mine if, we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim" "Just to show that I'm thinking of him." But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner!- yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir" "Jim died today." And that's what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend. Henson Towne "Seems, madam? Nay, it is. I know not "seems". 'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, Nor customary suits of solemn black, Nor windy suspiration of forc'd breath, No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, Nor the dejected haviour of the visage, Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief, That can denote me truly. These indeed seem, For they are actions that a man might play; But I carry that within which passes show, These but the trappings and the suits of woe." William Shakespeare from "Hamlet" Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Enjoy the silence Depeche Mode Ad Infinitum - To eternity - Till Evigheten Aeternum vale - Goodbye forever - Farväl för alltid Alea iacta est - The Dice is played - Tärningen är kastad Amor vincit omnia - Love survives all - Kärleken övervinner allt Bona Fide - In good faith - I god tro Cogito ergo sum - I think, therefore I am - Jag tänker alltså finns jag Dona Nobis Pacem - Give us peace - Ge oss frid Ergo - Because - Därför Errare humanum est - To do wrong is human - Att fela är mänskligt Ignoscere divinum - To forgive divine - Att förlåta gudomligt |
