Day 91 - Pixies - Motorway to Roswell
Sort of vacation song. Alien visits earth for a holiday but ends up dead in a crate with photographs of it in files. X-files that will be. How could this so great, turn so shit?
Day 1 - Pixies - Dead
Dead is from Pixies’ ‘89 album Doolittle. I translated the lyrics of this song a year ago. Still a good translation. What I like about this lyrics is the biblical references to king David cheating with another mans wife.
you crazy baby bathsheba, i wancha | jij gekke babe bathsheba, ik wil je
you’re suffocating you need a good shed | je verstikt je verdient een beter leven
i’m tired of living, shebe, so gimme | ik ben het leven moe, shebe, maak mij maar
dead | doodwe’re apin’ rapin’ tapin’ catharsis | we apen rapen gapen katharsis
you get torn down and get erected | je valt neer en je rijst weer
my blood is working but my, my heart is | mijn bloed pompt rond maar mijn hart, mijn hart is
dead |doodhey | he
whaddyah know? | wat weet jij nou?
you’re lovely | je liefelijke
tan belly | gebruinde buikje
is starting to grow | begint te groeienuriah hit the crapper, the crapper | uriah raakt de pispot, de pispot
uriah hit the crapper, the crapper | uriah raakt de pispot, de pispot
uriah hit the crapper, the crapper | uriah raakt de pispot, de pispot
dead | dood
About this/me
About this:
Inspired by Tuuur, who was inspired by Glenn Case, I will be posting some song of the day posts over here. This blog is written in (poor) English, but since I’m from the Netherlands there will be some Dutch songs and/or lyrics passing by.
About me:
I live in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, a short train ride from Amsterdam. I like open source software, open-minded people and bars open all night.
