THE END... of the night

(The last survivors)

"Dancing (and Talking) With Myself"

On the floor of Tokyo

Or down in London town to go, go

With the record selection

And the mirror's reflection

I'm dancing with myself

When there's no-one else insight

In the crowded lonely night

Well I wait so long

For my love vibration

And I'm dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to proveI'll be dancing with myselfIf

I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink'

Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to proveI'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink'

Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

If I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink'

Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance.

After a great shower, to wash away my sins, and let me free of that bad smell of the tobacco, yes tonight I just have the rights to a shower... I came here to talk with myself.
Great night, for the next time I want someone else to stay with me and watch the sun rising in the early morning of a new day in Amora or someone have to take off my batteries.

The End could come in any shape. We don’t need to search for it. In a slash, in a signal or it comes without warning and it is inside of us and we just can’t see.

So we just need to keep walking, keep enjoying our lives, with our friends (as we did this night), with our family, with the ones we love and the ones that love us.

And the ones who have children’s, I perfectly understand that they main concerns go to them, for they care, for they health, for they education, for they future, because the future is of our children’s. I hope that they learn with our mistakes, and make a society less selfish and with more justice, equality and fraternity, that’s what I hope for the future.

Why am I spoken in English, I don’t know, maybe it’s just because I drink a little bit more that what I should drink.

And now before I go, I want to leave you with two great songs of the new Pearl Jam album and one of my lyrics:

Just Breathe

Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh,

..As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,

..I’m a lucky man to count on both handsThe ones I love,..
Some folks just have one,

Others they got none, aw huh,..
Stay with me,

..Let’s just breathe.
Practiced are my sins,

Never gonna let me win, aw huh,..

Under everything, just another human being, aw huh,..

Yeh, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world

To make me bleed.
Stay with me,..You’re all I see.
Did I say that I need you?

Did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..

No one knows this more than me.

As I come clean.
I wonder everydayas I look upon your face, aw huh,..

Everything you gaveAnd nothing you would take, aw huh,..

Nothing you would take,..

Everything you gave.
Did I say that I need you?

Oh, Did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..

No one know this more than me.

As I come clean.
Nothing you would take,..everything you gave.

Hold me till I die,..

Meet you on the other side.

The End

What were all those dreams we shared

Those many years ago?

What were all those plans we made

Now left beside the road?

Behind us in the road
More than friends I always pledged

Cause friends they come and go

People change as does everything

I wanted to grow oldJust want to grow old
Slide on next to meI’m just a human being

I will take the blame

Bust just the same

This is not me

You see

Believe

I’m better than this
Don’t leave me so cold

Or buried beneath the stones

I just want to hold on

And know I’m worth your love

EnoughI don’t think

There’s such a thing
It’s my fault, Now I been caught

A sickness in my bones

How it pains to leave you here

With the kids on your own

Just don’t let me go
Help me see myself

Cause I can no longer tell

Looking out from the inside of

The bottom of a wellI yell

It’s hell

But no one hears
Before I disappear

Whisper in my ear

Give me something to echoIn my unknown futures ear
My dear

The End

Comes near

I’m here

But not much longer

A LONGA VIAGEM

Parti para a longa viagem,
Parti sem ninguém saber,
Nada levando na bagagem,
Nada deixando por fazer,

Com amigos bebi,
Com amigos me embriaguei,
Levo deles a saudade,
E a saudade deixarei,

Embriagado de amor por elas,
Por elas me apaixonei,
Deram-me longas noites de dor,
Deram-me longas noites de prazer,
A nada fui obrigado,
Tudo o que fiz foi por querer.

Agora que abalei,
Não quero lágrimas ou flores,
Quero risos e alegria,
E as garrafas a escorrer.

Quando nos reunirmos novamente,
Na nossa ultima morada,
Brindaremos outra vez,
Ergueremos os copos,
E tudo tornará a acontecer,
Da noite nascerá o dia,
E voltaremos a viver.
