The Smiths - What Difference Does it Make

All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I can surely rely on you ...
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you

So, what difference does it make ?
So, what difference does it make ?
It makes none
But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight


The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why ?
Because you asked me to !
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hands
Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh

So, what difference does it make ?
Oh, what difference does it make ?
Oh, it makes none
But now you have gone
And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight

Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole, and then I lied
Just because you asked me to
But now you know the truth about me
You won't see me anymore
Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh

But no more apologies
No more, no more apologies
Oh, I'm too tired
I'm so sick and tired
And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
But I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
Oh, my sacred one ...
Oh ...

Trent Reznor & Peter Murphy - Dead Souls

Someone take these dreams away

That point me to another day

A duel of personalities

That stretch all true reality

They keep calling me

Keep on calling me

They keep calling me

Keep on calling me

When figures from the past stand tall

And mocking voices ring the hall

Imperialistic house of prayer

Conquistadores who took their share

They keep calling me

Keep on calling me

They keep calling me

Keep on calling me

Calling me, calling me

Calling me, calling me

They keep calling me

Keep on calling me

They keep calling me

Keep on calling me

Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face

I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
Hanging out behind the State Line.
Turning' Holy Water into Wine.
Bringing' it down, Ooo... Ow!
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Oh. Ow! Ow! Ow!

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.

Lembra-te

Lembra-te 

que todos os momentos 

que nos coroaram 

todas as estradas 

radiosas que abrimos 

irão achando sem fim 

seu ansioso lugar 

seu botão de florir 

o horizonte 

e que dessa procura 

extenuante e precisa 

não teremos sinal 

senão o de saber 

que irá por onde fomos 

um para o outro 

vividos

Querem uma Luz Melhor que a do Sol!

Ah! Querem uma luz melhor que a do Sol! 

Querem prados mais verdes do que estes!
Querem flores mais belas do que estas que vejo!
A mim este Sol, estes prados, estas flores contentam-me.
Mas, se acaso me descontentam, 

O que quero é um sol mais sol que o Sol,
O que quero é prados mais prados que estes prados,
O que quero é flores mais estas flores que estas flores -
Tudo mais ideal do que é do mesmo modo e da mesma maneira!

The Smiths - There is a light that never goes out

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore 

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more 

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight 
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask) 

Take me out tonight 
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one 

And if a double-decker bus 
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine 

Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out 
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out

Filme da Semana: Assalto à Casa Branca

“Assalto à Casa Branca” é realizado por Antoine Fuqua (“Brooklyn’s Finest”), através do argumento de Creighton Rothenberger e Katrin Benedikt, é descrito como uma espécie de “Die Hard” na Casa Branca. O enredo acompanha Mike Banning, um ex-Agente dos Serviços Secretos que se torna na última esperança dos Estados Unidos da América quando um grupo de terroristas toma de assalto a 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Sinopse:

Através de um ousado ataque à Casa Branca, um pequeno grupo de extremistas fortemente armados e meticulosamente treinados consegue apoderar-se do edifício e prender o Presidente Benjamin Asher e a sua equipa, dentro de um bunker subterrâneo impenetrável.

Durante a invasão, Mike Banning, um ex-agente dos serviços secretos da guarda do Presidente, que acaba por ficar involuntariamente preso no edifício, decide juntar-se à batalha e fazer o trabalho para o qual treinou durante toda a sua vida: proteger o presidente, a todo custo.

Banning usa o seu treino e profundo conhecimento da residência oficial do presidente, tornando-se nos olhos e ouvidos da equipa de segurança nacional, chefiada por Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman), no interior da Casa Branca.

Com o escalar da tensão, os terroristas começam a executar reféns e prometem concretizar todas ameaças, caso as suas exigências não sejam atendidas. A equipa de segurança nacional não tem assim outra opção se não depositar as suas esperanças em Banning para cumprir a missão de resgatar o Presidente antes dos terroristas levarem a cabo o seu aterrorizante plano.

U2 - Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go in alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I... that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need... I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

(This is it)
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can, you, hear, me, when, I, sing
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me

Well hey now, still gotta let ya know
A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son yeah
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son for you

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

Simple Minds - Alive And Kicking

You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you
Now it's all or nothing
'Cause you say you'll follow through
You follow me, and I, I, I follow you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive

Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be with you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
In the final seconds who's gonna save you?

Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

Filme da Semana: Transe

“Transe” é um remake do telefilme homónimo exibido originalmente em 2001. O filme fala sobre um assistente de uma casa de leilões de arte que planeia um roubo com a ajuda de um líder de um gang (James McAvoy). Contudo, o assistente acaba por perder a memória depois de uma pancada com a cabeça fazendo com que o gang tenha de tentar reconstruir o projecto no puzzle da sua cabeça através da hipnose.

Sinopse:

O enredo de “Trance” centra-se em Simon (McAvoy), um assistente de uma casa de leilões que reúne uma quadrilha liderada por Franck (Cassel) para roubar uma obra de arte da autoria de Goya, que vai ser leiloada. Quando Simon resolve trair o grupo, Franck retalia violentamente deixando o indivíduo inconsciente.

Quando acorda, Simon revela que se encontra com amnésia e não sabe onde guardou a obra de arte.

Com as constantes tentativas para recuperar a memória de Simon a terem resultados negativos, a quadrilha começa a duvidar da lealdade do personagem de McAvoy, indo contratar uma hipnoterapeuta (Dawson) para procurar que este último recupere a memória.

Há medida que penetram na memória de Simon, as barreiras entre a realidade e a sugestão hipnótica começam a esbater-se, deixando o jogo mental bem mais perigoso do que qualquer um dos jogadores poderia inicialmente antecipar.

O filme é realizado por Danny Boyle (“127 Hours”), através do argumento Joe Ahearne. “Trance” conta no elenco com James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel, Tuppence Middleton, Rosario Dawson, Danny Sapani, Lee Nicholas Harris, Sam Creed, entre outros.
