Savage Garden
:: To the moon and back ::

She’s taking her time making up the reasons
to justify all the hurt inside.
Guess she knows from the smile
and the look in their eyes.
Everyone’s got a theory about the bitter one

They’re saying "mamma never loved her much
and daddy never keeps in touch.
That’s why she shies away from Human affection"
But somewhere in a private place,
she packs her bags for outer space
and now she’s waiting for the right kind of pilot to come.
And she’ll say to him...
She’s saying...

I would fly to the moon and back
if you’ll be, if you’ll be my baby.
Got a ticket for a world where we belong...
So would you be my baby...?

She can’t remember a time when she felt needed...
If love was red then she was colour blind.
All her friends, they’ve been tried for treason,
and crimes that were never defined...

She’s saying love is like a barren place,
and reaching out for human faith is...
is like a journey I just don’t have a map for...
So baby’s gonna take a dive,
and push the shift to overdrive,
send a signal that she’s hanging all her hopes on the stars.
What a pleasant dream!
Just saying...

I would fly to the moon and back
if you’ll be, If you’ll be my baby.
Got a ticket for a world where we belong...
So would you be my baby...?

Hold on, hold on

{ Mamma never loved her much... }

{ I would fly to the moon and back... }

{ I would fly to the moon and back... }

“Cuando se les habla de un nuevo amigo, jamás preguntan sobre lo esencial del mismo. Nunca se les ocurre preguntar: "¿Qué tono tiene su voz? ¿Qué juegos prefiere? ¿Le gusta coleccionar mariposas?" Pero en cambio preguntan: "¿Qué edad tiene? ¿Cuántos hermanos? ¿Cuánto pesa? ¿Cuánto gana su padre?" Solamente con estos detalles creen conocerle.

Si les decimos a las personas mayores: "He visto una casa preciosa de ladrillo rosa, con geranios en las ventanas y palomas en el tejado", jamás llegarán a imaginarse cómo es esa casa. Es preciso decirles: "He visto una casa que vale cien mil pesos". Entonces exclaman entusiasmados: "¡Oh, qué preciosa es!"

(...)

-Adiós -dijo el zorro-. He aquí mi secreto, que no puede ser más simple: sólo con el corazón se puede ver bien; lo esencial es invisible para los ojos.

-Lo esencial es invisible para los ojos -repitió el principito para acordarse.

-Lo que hace más importante a tu rosa, es el tiempo que tú has perdido con ella.

-Es el tiempo que yo he perdido con ella... -repitió el principito para recordarlo.

-Los hombres han olvidado esta verdad -dijo el zorro-, pero tú no debes olvidarla. Eres responsable para siempre de lo que has domesticado. Tú eres responsable de tu rosa...

-Yo soy responsable de mi rosa... -repitió el principito a fin de recordarlo.”

(El Principito . Antoine de Saint-Exupéry )

Tears for fears
:: Woman in chains ::

You better love loving and you better behave,
You better love loving and you better behave...
Woman in chains, woman in chains.

Calls her man the Great White Hope;
Says she's fine, she'll always cope.
Woman in chains, woman in chains.

Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal.
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel.
It's a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains.
Trades her soul as skin and bone,
sells the only thing she owns...

Woman in chains,
woman in chains...

Men of stone! Men of stone!

Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal,
and I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe.
Well you know what I mean...
It's a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains.

It's under my skin but out of my hands.
I'll tear it apart but I won't understand.
I will not accept the Greatness of Man;
It's a world gone crazy, keeps woman in chains...

So free her!!
So free her!!
