Vasilis Papakonstantinou - Puerto Rico (Greek)

Σαλπάρησε μια νύχτα με πανσέληνο

και στο στερνό του γράμμα μου 'χε γράψει,

αξίζει φίλε να υπάρχεις για ένα όνειρο

κι ας είναι η φωτιά του να σε κάψει.

He sailed away one full moon day

And in his last letter he wrote me,

"To exist just for the sake of a dream;

even if its fire burns you, it's worth it."

Tom Waits - Blue Valentines

...Blue valentines, remind me of my cardinal sin

I can never wash the guilt or get these bloodstains off my hands.

And it takes a whole lot of whiskey to make these nightmares go away...

Tom Waits - Blue Valentines

That's a bit uncanny but also slightly more sweet than

my pandemic theme song:

Tom Waits- Starving In The Belly Of A Whale

Life is whittled
Life's a riddle
Man's a fiddle that life plays on
When the day breaks and the earth quakes
Life's a mistake all day long
Tell me, who gives a good goddamn
You'll never get out alive
Don't go dreaming
Don't go scheming
A man must test his mettle
In a crooked ol' world

[ Starving in the belly
Starving in the belly
Starving in the belly of a whale ] x2

Don't take my word
Just look skyward
They that dance must pay the fiddler
Sky is darkening
Dogs are barking
But the caravan moves on
You tell me, who gives a good goddamn
You'll never get out alive
Don't go dreaming
Don't go scheming
A man must test his mettle
In a crooked ol' world

[ Starving in the belly... of a whale]
Oh we're [starving in the belly... of a whale]

As the crow flies
It's there the truth lies
At the bottom of the well
E-o-Leven goes to heaven
Bless the dead here as the rain falls
Don't trust a bull's horn
A doberman's tooth
A runaway horse or me
Don't be greedy, don't be needy
If you live in hope
You're dancing to a terrible tune

[Starving in the belly
Starving in the belly
Starving in the belly of a whale]x2

A very different kind of uncanny, and the theme of my freaking life:

Blue Oyster Cult - Flaming Telepaths

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's an iron
And the jokes on you

Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind
They're trinity acts a mineral fire
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
It's a flaming wonder telepath

Well I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's an iron
And the jokes on you

And the joke's on you...

Next up, A Love Ballad from the lusty 19'er named Corona who is a bit of a stalker and doesn't understand boundaries just yet (guess since he's on paper he really will be gone in a day or two):

Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love. OK?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
Of odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me,
"It's no better to be safe than sorry."

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, things that you say. Yeah.
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
