These Boots Are made For Walking
You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
LEADBREAK
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And what he knows you ain't had time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
SPOKEN
Are you ready, boots?
Start walkin'

The Letter
Put the pen
To the paper
Press the envelope
With my scent
Can't you see
In my handwriting
The curve Of my g?
The longing
Oh
Who is left that
Writes these days?
You and me
We'll be different
Take the cap
Off your pen
Wet the envelope
Lick and lick it
Oh
I need you
The time is running out
Oh baby
Can't you hear me call?
It turns me on
To imagine
Your blue eyes
On my words
Your beautiful pen
Take the cap off
Give me a sign and I'd come running
Oh
It's you
I want you

Sheela Na Gig
Ive been trying to show you over and over
Look at these my child-bearing hips
Look at these my ruby red ruby lips
Look at these my work strong arms and
Youve got to see my bottle full of charm
I lay it all at your feet
You turn around and say back to me
He said Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gigYou exhibitionist
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didnt care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more

Turn the corner another one there
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Heard it before
He said

He said please take those dirty pillows away from me
He said wash your breasts, I dont want to be unclean

He said wash your breasts, I dont want to be unclean
He said please take those dirty pillows away from me
He said wash your breasts, I dont want to be unclean
He said please take those dirty pillows away from me

Dress
Put on that dress
I'm going out dancing
Starting off red
Clean and sparkling he'll see me
Music playing make it dreamy for dancing
Must be a way that i can dress to please him
It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy
I'm spilling over like a heavy loaded fruit tree
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
It's sad to see
Lonely all this lonely
Close up my eyes
Dreamy dreamy music make it be alright
Music play make it good for romacing
Must be a way I can dress to please him
Swing and sway everything'll alright
But it's feeling so damn tight tonight
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
"You purdy thang,"
My man says, "But I bought you beautiful dresses."
"You purdy thang,"
My man says, "But I bought you beautiful dresses."
Filthy tight, the dress is filthy
I'm falling flat and my arms are empty
Clear the way better get it out of this room
A falling woman in dancing costume
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on

Bang Bang…
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang
I shot you down, bang bang
You hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang…
Just for me the church bells rang…
Now he's gone I don't know why
And till this day some times I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down.

Fever
Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me, I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever - when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the the morning, fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime, moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name, and you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever - when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the the morning, fever all through the night.
Everybody's got the fever, that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago.
Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her, he said "Julie baby you're my flame"
Thou givest fever, when we kisseth, fever with thy flaming youth
Fever - I'm afire, fever yea I burn forsooth.
Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him, she said "Daddy-O don't you dare"
He gives me fever - with his kisses, fever when he holds me tight.
Fever - I'm his Missus, Oh daddy won't you treat him right.
Now you've listened to my story, here's the point I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever, be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever - when you kiss them, fever if you live and learn
Fever - till you sizzle, what a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
Peggy Lee
IS THAT ALL THERE IS
I remember when i was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And i'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement
And I stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to a fire ? "
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And when I was twelve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to the circus ? "
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day
He went away
And i thought i'd die
But I didn't
And when I didn't
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to love ? "
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep
I know what you must be saying to yourselves
If that's the way she feels about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. i'm not ready for the final disappointment
'Cause I know just as well as i'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And i'm breathing my last breath
I know what I'll be saying to myself
" Is that all there is ? "
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Maybe Sparrow
Maybe sparrow you should wait
The hawks alight till morning
You'll never pass beyond the gate
If you don't hear my warning
Notes are hung so effortless
With the rise and fall of sparrow's breast
It's a drowning dive and back to the chorus
La di da di da di da
La di da di da di da
Oh my sparrow it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusty eyes cold as clay
You didn't hear my warning
Maybe sparrow it's too late
Moonlight glanced off metal wings
In a thunderstorm above the clouds
The engine hums a sparrow's phrase
For those who cannot hear the words
For those who will not hear the words
For those who will not hear the words
La di da di da di da
La di da di da di da

Love Is A Losing Game
For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
Why do I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Though I'm rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Wonderwall
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after an
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

The Ghost Song
Awake.
Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
The days divinity
First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by its quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose they croon the ancient ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up and dances.

Always On This Line
As the day turns to night
under these suburban skies
think of all willing lies, of cutting ties,
the emptiness,
At first light, first sight,
the world seems like a miracle,
but try to hold it in your hands
and watch it get away,
oh the ugliness of fate,
When you're always on this line,
when you're always on this line,
you could've crossed a million times,
but you're always on this line,
oh, put your hands up,
claim your crime,
'cause you never had the time,
you still get to work just fine,
when you're always on this line
But it's alright, it's okay,
when there's excuses in your way,
you can try, just make it up,
settle down but don't look up,
At first bite, first lie,
the world seems like it serves you well,
but try to catch it in your hands,
treating it like a slave of the emptiness you crave,
When you're always on this line,
when you're always on this line,
you could've crossed a million times,
but you're always on this line,
oh, put your hands up,
claim your crime,
'cause you never had the time,
you still get to work just fine,
when you're always on this line,
Oh, it might be unkind of me to make you feel bad,
it might be a shame of me to treat you like that,
when there's everything you've worked for in your life,
on this line,
When you're always on this line,
when you're always on this line,
you could've crossed a million times,
but you're always on this line,
oh, put your hands up,
claim your crime,
'cause you never had the time,
you still get to work just fine,
when you're always on this line

Do you want another try?
Rewrite some Lines?
Do you want to spend some time?
If your hands are open like mine
Underneath a setting sun
Your hands are open like a child’s
Like mine
Feeling like the first to have wasted all Gods time
Waking with the birds, they’re falling from the sky
Do you think that I’d forget
About you and I?
Well I know that I was shy
But the time has hardly been unkind
Underneath this gentle light
And by the time that midnight strikes
This time
Feeling like the first to have wasted all Gods time
Waking with the birds, they’re falling from the sky
So Under-rehearsed, we never even tried
It’s a delightful curse to have wasted so much time

Comentário inteligente
Relativamente ao que me tinhas falado do arco parabólico catenário de Gaudí fui investigar e já tinha ouvido falar da técnica mas não me foi transmitida como uma criação de Gaudí. Contaram-me que o emprego desta técnica já remonta aos anos que antecederam o nascimento de Cristo.
E essa técnica muito utilizada por Gaudí, que careceu durante muito tempo de uma explicação física, penso que foi disseminada pela via teórica, com recurso à matemática e à física pelo famoso matemático e físico suíço Leonhard Euler. E alguém depois dele deve ter continuado esse trabalho.
O que é certo é que Gaudí usou e abusou desta técnica tendo apurado o seu conhecimento.
Os arcos resultam em estruturas bastante interessantes. Quando penduramos uma corrente ela assume uma determinada forma, que depende unicamente do seu peso próprio, ou seja, a corrente está traccionada em função das forças do peso próprio.
Ao colocarmos dois pesos em dois lugares diferentes dessa mesma corrente, esta assume uma configuração diferente, adaptada às novas forças que tem que suster.
Se eu inverter a corrente, esta ficará carregada no sentido inverso e corresponderá à forma perfeita de um arco com capacidade de suporte face às forças que anteriormente apliquei na corrente.
É um bom passatempo tentar construir um arco com pedras na praia e colocarmo-nos no cimo do mesmo, verificando que o arco está apto a resistir à força do nosso peso.
Um esforço de flexão é um esforço que tende a curvar o eixo longitudinal da peça. Imaginem uma régua de plástico. Se eu pegar nas duas extremidades e tentar dobrar a régua estou a impingir um esforço de flexão. Se, por outro lado, agarrar nas duas extremidades da régua e tentar aumentar o comprimento desta “esticando-a”, estou a imprimir um esforço axial (ao longo de um eixo). Neste caso o esforço axial designa-se de tracção porque estou a esticar a régua e não a comprimi-la (compressão).
Os arcos são estruturas preferencialmente sujeitas a esforços axiais. Para resistir à flexão um elemento necessita de ser “gordo”, para “não se deixar dobrar”. Para resistir ao esforço axial nem tanto. Por isso os arcos podem resultar em estruturas extremamente leves como é o caso do arco da ponte D. Maria Pia no Porto.
O famoso Eng. Edgar Cardoso projectou a Ponte da Arrábida, também sobre o rio Douro, recorrendo a um arco. O interessante deste caso reside no facto deste Eng. ter concebido modelos à escala, com carregamentos também na respectiva proporção, o que lhe conferia uma visão e conhecimento da estrutura melhor e mais exacta do que qualquer formulação matemática, pois ele tinha no seu modelo a interacção de muitas variáveis que mais tarde interferem e estão presentes na estrutura real.
Isto também dava mais alguns parágrafos priminha.

Explain
Oh there's a funny light
In the stars tonight
You and I will ride
All the factories
All the memories
Have changed
Will you work it out?
Will you see that I'm going no where else?
I dont know where you
Think and start again
But I, I know in all we've said
I finally know how it began
It's nothing that I can even explain
Til we begin tonight
Is it a righteous fight?
The sentiment's not right
Will you work it out?
Will you sell it all
To find me?
All the weapons are
Finally coming out
But now you see that I
Only wanted to
Have it out with you
Remember our love
Whoa but in the coldest light you see
You see what you want
And you break it all
Find it somewhere else
You say that our love
Can't be a baton in your part
You say that our love
You say that our love
Is only mat
Ooooh look above you now
There's a heavy cloud
Hanging over us
All the factories
All inflameries
Are closed
Do you wake at night
Wishing you'd relied on someone else?
I don't know what you
Think you find again
But I, I know in all we've said
I finally found where I'll begin
It's something I can't even explain

John Wayne Gacy Jr
His father was a drinker
And his mother cried in bed
Folding John Wayne's T-shirts
When the swingset hit his head
The neighbors they adored him
For his humor and his conversation
Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things
Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead
Twenty-seven people, even more
They were boys with their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God
Are you one of them?
He dressed up like a clown for them
With his face paint white and red
And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand
Running far, running fast to the dead
He took of all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss
On the mouth
And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid

Everybody knows
Everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do, except you
I told the stars above
About the one I love
I told the morning sun
Yeah I'm telling everyone
I told my mum and dad
They seemed to understand
And I'll get through to you
If it's the last thing that I do
Everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do, except you
Everybody knows that I live for you
Everybody knows that I adore you
Everybody knows that it's true, except you
I told all of my friends
Again and again and again
I drove them round the bend
So now you're my only friend
I told the passers by
I made a small boy cry
And I'll get through to you
If it's the last thing that I do
'Cos everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do, except you
I'm going crazy baby
What do I have to do?
You know I love you baby
Maybe you love me too
Everybody knows that I live for you
Everybody knows that I adore you
Everybody knows that it's true, except you
Except you, except you, except you
How come everybody knows, except you?
Oh everybody knows that I love you
And everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do, except you

My name
Why don't you ask me
How long I've been waiting
Set down on the road
With the gunshots exploding
I'm waiting for you
In the gloom and the blazing
I'm waiting for you
I sing like a slave I know
I should know better
I've learned all my lessons
Right down to the letter
And still I go on like this
Year after year
Waiting for miracles
And shaking with fear
Why don't you answer
Why don't you come save me
Show me how to use
All these things
That you gave me
Turn me inside out
So my bones can save me
Turn me inside out
You've come this close
You can come even closer
The gunshots get louder
And the world spins faster
And things just get further
And further apart
The head from the hands
And the hands from the heart
One thing that's true
Is the way that I love him
The earth down below
And the sky up above him
And still I go on like this
Day after day
Still I go on like this
Now I've said this
I already feel stronger
I can't keep waiting for you
Any longer
I need you now
Not someday
When I'm ready
Come down on the road
Come down on the road
My name, my nam
Nothing is the same
I won't go back
The way I came

When the weather gets rough
And its whiskey in the shade
Its best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But thats ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Well its got to be a chocolate jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate jesus
Good enough for me
Well its got to be a chocolate jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate jesus
Keep me satisfied
Tom Waits
