Cause there is no design for life
There's no devils haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
 
But there is a slideshow and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind

Slide show-Travis.

LOS SIETE MANDAMIENTOS

  1. Todo lo que camina sobre dos pies es un enemigo.
  2. Todo lo que camina sobre cuatro patas, o tenga alas, es un amigo.
  3. Ningún animal usará ropa.
  4. Ningún animal dormirá en una cama.
  5. Ningún animal beberá alcohol.
  6. Ningún animal matará a otro animal.
  7. Todos los animales son iguales.
Rebelión en la granja-George Orwell.
Doce voces estaban gritando enfurecidas y eran todas iguales. No existía duda ahora de lo que sucediera a las caras de los cerdos. Los animales de afuera miraron del cerdo al hombre, y del hombre al cerdo, y nuevamente del cerdo al hombre; pero ya era imposible discernir quién era quién.

Rebelión en la granja-George Orwell.
CLAUDIO:- Y bien, Hamlet, ¿dónde está Polonio?
HAMLET: -Ha ido a cenar.
CLAUDIO: -¿A cenar? ¿Dónde?
HAMLET: -No a donde coma, sino a donde es comido entre una numerosa congregación de gusanos. El gusano es el monarca supremo de todos los comedores. Nosotros engordamos a los demás animales para engordarnos, y engordamos para el gusanillo que nos come después. El rey gordo y el mendigo flaco son dos platos diferentes, pero sirve a una misma mesa. En esto para todo.
CLAUDIO: -¡Ah!
HAMLET: -Tal vez un hombre puede pescar con el gusano que ha comido a un rey, y comerse después el pez que se alimentó de aquel gusano.
CLAUDIO: -¿Y qué quieres decir con eso?
HAMLET: -Nada más que manifestar cómo un rey puede pasar progresivamente a las tripas de un mendigo.
CLAUDIO: -¿Dónde está Polonio?
HAMLET: -En el cielo. Enviad a alguno que lo ve y si vuestro comisionado no le encuentra allí, entonces podéis vos mismo ir a buscarle a otra parte. Bien que, si no le halláis en todo este mes, le oleréis sin duda al subir los escalones de la galería.

HAMLET: (...) Pero hazte pedazos, corazón mío, que mi lengua debe reprimirse.

Smile even though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by.

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near.

That's time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile.
Smile...

Smile- Charlie Chaplin, Geoffrey Parsons, James Phillips.

Feliz Navidad.

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now

Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

"Travis toiled and toiled and played loads of shows. Record company people started coming to see us and passed on us again and again and again. Hopes were raised and dashed for 6 years. Some friends of mums, would occasionally ask her how I was getting on and she would always proudly say he was still doing his band… “Ohh really,” they would say. “That’s nice.” Because there was no man in our house, my uncle Martin took me aside one day and gave me the “ Do you realize you will have to look after your mum, son.” Speech. “I think maybe you should think about a proper job.”
Around that time, my girlfriend and I had a conversation along the lines of her saying “ You know Franny, what you’re doing with the band it totally impractical… The chances of you getting a deal are so remote blah blah bah…” For a second I agreed with her but then suddenly the penny dropped. I told her that actually what she was doing was maybe impractical, afterall, she didn’t know what she wanted to do but had chosen a course in Politics Philosophy and Economics because, well, she had to choose something… I told her, even though my chances of success were miniscule it didn’t matter. I had no choice. I had found what I had to do. I had found my vocation- my calling.

So

In accepting this honorary degree today I want to congratulate you all on yours and hope that, if it hasn’t happened already, at some stage, however impractical, however crazy, however far down the road it drags you, you get your calling too.
Thankyou."

Estamos en la tierra de nadie, pero es mía
Los inocentes son los culpables, dice su señoría,
el Rey de espadas.


(...)

Estamos en la tierra de todos, en la vida.
Sobre el pasado y sobre el futuro,
ruinas sobre ruinas,
querida Alicia.

Julieta Venegas va a sacar otro CD. Entradas para Keane. Y ahora, Travis también va a sacar un CD. Felicidad musical (?
Hey Jean don't rock the boat
When you can't swim.

(...)

You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm.

(...)

Well I don't expect a miracle, I'm not asking you to change
If you can't see me happy well just look the other way.
Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean.

Selfish Jean-Travis.
