Κατώτερος των περιστάσεων

Καλώς ή κακώς
δεν είμαι άνθρωπος ανταγωνιστικός
στον εαυτό μου μονάχα παραβγαίνω
μπορεί κιόλας μόνο εκεί να με παίρνει
πάντως σας λέω
του χώνομαι άσχημα
του μπαίνω στο ρουθούνι
του πάω στοίχημα στο τρέξιμο
πως θα τερματίσω όλο και πιο αργά
στο άλμα εις ύψος
πως θα περάσω κάτω από τον πήχη
όλο και πιο χαμηλά.
Δεν παραπονιέμαι όμως
κουτσά στραβά τα καταφέρνω
βρίσκομαι πάντα
κατώτερος των περιστάσεων
ανεπαρκής των συνθηκών
σαν το σκουλήκι στη γούβα του σέρνομαι
όλα κι όλα, αυτό το πετυχαίνω.

The Sun Always Reminds Me of You

It's a beautiful day
And I went for a walk
But I saw that old dirt path
Where we used to talk
Where is the rain
Cause some spring lovers
Are bringing me down again
The years have come
And your hands have gone
But your land is something
Lost in a song
Why does the sun always remind me of you
Yes it does
I hope a new day will come
And cover up what I done
Why does the sun always remind me of you
I would know
That there ain't nothing but love songs
On the radio
Turn on the colored days
To peel away the skin
The sun will turn my hands to gold
More than any alchemist
Sea water it rounds the edge of shard and turns to sand
I heard you bought a house
And light it up with glass and second hand
Why does the sun always remind me of you
Yes it does
I hope a new day will come
And cover up what I have done
Why does the sun always remind me of you
I would know
That there aint nothing but love songs
On the radio
Always reminds me of you
Yes it does
It always reminds me of you
Yes it does,
Yes it does,
Yes it does
Why does the sun always remind me of you
I hope a new day will come
And cover up what I have done
Why does the sun always remind me of you
I hope a new day will come
And cover up what I have done
Why does the sun always remind of you
I would know
That there ain't nothing but love songs
On the radio
