Roger Waters , It’s A Miracle
Genre : Art-Rock , Progressive rock
Album : Amused to Death
Origin : England
ArtWORK : WE GOT CHOICE

Miraculous you call it babe
You ain’t seen nothing yet
They got Pepsi in the Andes
They got McDonalds in Tibet
Yosemite’s been turned into a golf course
For the Japs
And the Dead Sea is alive with crap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There’s a leisure centre now
They got all kinds of sports
They got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
And a doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free

It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It’s a miracle

We got warehouses of butter
We got oceans of wine
We got famine when we need it
We got designer crime
We got Mercedes
We got Porsche, Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah, we got choice
She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear
The Lord said, Peter I can see your house from here
An honest man
Finally reaped what he had sown
And a farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan

It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It’s a miracle

We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber’s awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers
It’s a miracle

Opeth , Hours Of Wealth
Genre : Progressive Rock
Album : Ghost Reveries
Origin : Sweden
ArtWORK : Incomplete

Found a way to rid myself clean of pain
And the fever that’s been haunting me
Has gone away

Looking through my window
I seem to recognize
All the people passing by
But I’m alone
And far from home
And nobody knows me

Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again
All days are in darkness
And I’m biding my time
Once I am sure of my task I will rise again

Blackfield , Some Day
Genre : Progressive Rock , Art Rock
Album : Blackfield II
Origin : Israel
ArtWORK : Walk Away

When you were a boy
You had no place inside your parents’ world
You were falling like the leaves
From an old and dying tree

You went to school
But the teachers made you feel a fool
While the children played with joy
You were the one they would avoid

Some day
You will find a better place to stay
You’ll never need to feel this way again
Again, again

Show a smile
They’d like to have you in their members’ club
They’ll buy you drinks and tell you lies
They pour rumbrella with some ice

No one cares
About that fucking pretty face you have
It means nothing much this life
So find the highest cliff and dive

Some day
You will find a better place to stay
You’ll never need to feel this way again
Again, again

Some day
You will find a better place to stay
You’ll never need to feel this way again
Again, again

Some day
You will find a better place to stay
You’ll never need to feel this way again
Again, again

Genre : Progressive rock

Origin : England
ArtWORK : The Passenger

,

When you’re one of the few to land on your feet
what do you do to make ends meet?

teach

make ‘em mad, make ‘em sad,
make ‘em add two and two
make ‘em me, make ‘em you,
make ‘em do what you want them to
make ‘em laugh, make ‘em cry,
make ‘em lay down and die

Eloy , Up And Down
Genre : Progressive rock
Album : Inside
Origin : Germany
ArtWORK : Queen of Spades

You try to get success directly
the way is far and even hard
once in a while it’ll get shorter
sometimes the way is out of reach

up and down, up and down
up and down, up and down
up and down, up and down
up and down, up and down

We could join league, shape our life
but there’s one to destroy us
perhaps he make it ignorant
but there the loud music echoes

up and down, up and down
up and down, up and down
up and down, up and down
up and down, up and down

We oppose these matter of facts
but sometimes we couldn’t do against that
in the course of time we succeed in doing
the next time will demonstrate
if our time
if our time come thru

nevertheless
nevertheless
we will do more
we will do more about our get on
