And there's fire on the mountain
While the tourists take selfies on the beach
And the skies look apocalyptic now
Maybe these strange colours will get them more reach
And I'm just so tired of the way things are
I'm too tired to do anything
Maybe tomorrow I'll make a change
But for now I'll do some bed preaching
Hashtag first world problems
All swimming in your pocket
We're the easy jet generation
But there ain't nothing easy about this is there?
And we're all so uneasy in our comfortable little bubbles
Algorithms tailored for our soul
And we're all just a cigarette away
From rolling the next one
And I'm just so tired of the way things are
I'm too tired to do anything
Maybe tomorrow I'll make a change
But for now I'll do some bed preaching
Hashtag first world problems
All swimming in your pocket
We're the easy jet generation
But there ain't nothing easy about this is there?
Y esto es así, verde como el mar que lleva la sal
Es natural, caerse en la mitad y volver a andar
Por eso muchacha grita todo lo que sientes
Deja en casa la bombilla que no brilla
Hashtag first world problems
All swimming in your pocket
We're the easy jet generation
But there ain't nothing easy about this is there?
And there's fire on the mountain
Oh those flames have swallowed home whole
Maybe I'll pick up a bucket of water
And throw away my telephone

Brighton (Clumsy)
02:39
|
|||
Waves were crashing in the bedroom
The wind was howling down the hall
I was dreaming about Brighton
And the life I had before
I was with my friend Luisa,
Drinking guinness in the rain
And her words tasted like ice cream
On a hot summer's day, on a hot summer's day
Would you take into consideration
I had the best intention
I was just a little clumsy with it all
So many outcasts finding refuge
Between the downs and the sea
Homeless summer destination
Where all the bar staff have degrees
Ten million pictures of the west pier
Still got the pebbles in my shoes
A sense of humour on every corner
And those Sunday Green Door blues
Oh those Sunday Green Door blues
Would you take into consideration
I had the best intention
I was just a little clumsy with it all
Shaking with the windstorm
Memories flooding my brain
We were hungry for the future
But the past it will remain
Oh how the past always remains
Would you take into consideration
I had the best intention
I was all so unintentional

Captivity

Captivity, invented by a man like me
Who's greatest pride is to be free
Let's all just raise the stakes,
A little bit more give than take
'Cause we're still light years away
Of getting the balance straight
Well I've had enough, I've had enough
I've had enough of my own ambition
I've had enough, I've had enough
I've had enough, why can't I just let me be?
Captivity, hated by a man like me
Who's greatest pride is to be free
Let's all just raise our game
A little bit more praise than blame
'Cause we're still light years away
Fighting for those better days
Oh we've had enough, we've had enough
We've had enough of our own ambitions
We've had enough, we've had enough
We've had enough, why can't we just let us be?

Manteiga

E as horas que passei passado da cabeça
Dentro de segundos saem da ponta da caneta
Ai se eu soubesse mais cedo
Ai se eu soubesse mais cedo
A leveza de andar na rua, com o caderno cheio e a mente vazia
Ai se eu soubesse mais cedo
Ai se eu soubesse mais cedo
Mas tu não sabes o que sabes até não saber
E as lições que a vida dá nem sempre são para aprender
Oh não, no que é que eu me fui meter
Muita manteiga para o meu pão
Oh não, o que é que fui dizer
Estas desculpas não são em vão
E o sol arde como ardia
Há 200,000 anos no distinto dia
Do nascer do macaco mais esperto
O homo sapiens não sabe nada é certo
Mas que humildade tenho eu?
De supor que sei como ocorreu
O que está no passado, dificilmente é desenterrado
Mas tu não sabes o que sabes até não saber
E as lições que a vida dá nem sempre são para aprender
Oh não, no que é que eu me fui meter
Muita manteiga para o meu pão
Oh não, o que é que fui dizer
Estas desculpas não são em vão
Oh não, no que é que eu me fui meter
Muita manteiga para o meu pão
Oh não, o que é que fui dizer
Estas desculpas não são em vão
Ai se eu, ai se eu, ai se eu soubesse mais
Se eu soubesse mais cedo isto não era assim

Best Behaviour
03:38
|
|||
Hey you, you're not human
You're my friend, my enemy, my emotion
And even though it was a long time coming
I was surprised when I felt my heart pumping
But sometimes the heart knows when dangers looming
Let's take off all our clothes and go swimming
The heat of the moment will have us shivering
And all our ideas in our minds come a tumblin'
Down the slides of time into nothing
But sometimes an empty mind can say everything
Still longing, still longing for you
I'm calling on my best behaviour
Still longing, still longing for you
I'm calling on my best behaviour
All our history shouldn't matter
But it still has a strong grip on my shoulders
Is it your hand or mine or both together?
You can't face the past because it's behind you
But you can stare starry eyed into the future
Still longing, still longing for you
I'm calling on my best behaviour
Still longing, still longing for you
I'm calling on my best behaviour
You can't face the past because it's behind you
But you can stare starry eyed into the future
You can't face the past because it's behind you
But you can stare starry eyed into the future
You can't face the past because it's behind you
But you can stare starry eyed into the future
You can't face the past because it's behind you
But you can stare starry eyed into the future

Qualquer coisa no vinho, qualquer coisa no ar, qualquer coisa no mel, qualquer coisa no mar
Aquele cheirinho a eucalipto, aquela mordidela de mosquito
Aquele drogado educado, aquele rico malcriado
Aqueles turistas perdidos, bebem vinho verde felizes
Aqueles artistas que servem a mesa, até os forretas deixam gorjeta
Oh amanhã é mais um dia que vai tornar se ontem
Oh amanhã é mais um dia que vai tornar se ontem
Qualquer coisa no vinho, qualquer coisa no ar, qualquer coisa no mel, qualquer coisa no mar
Aquele carro mal estacionado, aquele pênalti anulado
O portal das finanças e um labirinto sem esperanças
Aquele café da manhã, aquela vizinha de sutiã
Aquelas tardes de cerveja, tornam-se em noites de macieira
Oh amanhã é mais um dia que vai tornar se ontem
Oh amanhã é mais um dia que vai tornar se ontem
Qualquer coisa no vinho, qualquer coisa no ar, qualquer coisa no mel, qualquer coisa no mar
Aquela nuvem de perfume, das meninas em cardume
Que mergulham no cais sodré, sem nunca molhar os pés
Aquele cinema no estendal, o nosso tímido carnaval
Aquele cheiro a sardinhas e haxixe, o santo antônio deve estar feliz
Oh amanhã é mais um dia que vai tornar se ontem
Oh amanhã é mais um dia que vai tornar se ontem
Qualquer coisa no vinho, qualquer coisa no ar, qualquer coisa no mel, qualquer coisa no mar
Aquela caça do gambuzino, segue me que eu sei o caminho
Muitos anos a virar frangos, toma lá morangos
Aquele amor em sprint, aquela pilula do dia seguinte
Aquele cheirinho de carvão, torna o medroso em rei leão
Os artistas de hoje em dia, sobrevivem na pandemia
Toma lá para te entreteres, é só putas e recibos verdes

TIME FOR T Lisbon, Portugal
Described as somewhere between Bob Dylan and Fela Kuti, Time for T have always been difficult to categorise. This might be
due to the eclectic backgrounds of the band (England, Portugal, Brazil and Spain) and the nomadic nature of it's members.
One could say their music consists of pensive folk songs sugarcoated in sunny melodies and groovy rhythms.
