“Jules: You read the Bible, Ringo?
Pumpkin: Not regularly, no…
Jules: There’s a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”
I been sayin’ that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin’ made me think twice. Now I’m thinkin’: it could mean you’re the evil man. And I’m the righteous man. And Mr. .45 here, he’s the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you’re the righteous man and I’m the shepherd and it’s the world that’s evil and selfish. I’d like that. But that shit ain’t the truth. The truth is you’re the weak. And I’m the tyranny of evil men. But I’m tryin, Ringo. I’m tryin’ real hard to be the shepherd.Jules lowers his gun, lying it on the table.
Jules: Go.”

Não vou lamentar, o que passou, passou
Eu vou embora, meu tempo acabou
Tenho muita coisa para descobrir
Eu sinto muito, mas tenho que ir
Vou pro mundo porque nada mais me prende aqui
É o final do show
E não fique magoado porque vou partir
É só o jeito que eu souChanges lá vem meu trem
Vem meu trem
To saindo fora porque eu vou me dar bem
Changes lá vem meu trem
Vem meu trem
Sei que tá na hora e eu vou me dar bem
Sempre em frente, nunca pra trásNão é por nada não mas vou me divertir
Enquanto a vida assim permitir
Só procurar fazer amigos do bem, se precisar ajudar também
E agora a liberdade e o horizonte
Só você não sacou
Nova York, Ipanema ou Hong Kong
É nessa aí que eu tôChanges lá vem meu trem
Vem meu trem
Tô saindo fora porque eu sei que vou me dar bem
Changes lá vem meu trem
Vem meu trem
Sei que tá na hora e eu vou me dar bem
Sempre em frente, nunca pra trásLivre eu me sinto, sublime
Gente mais gente
O mar e o céu azulChanges lá vem meu trem
Vem meu trem
Tô saindo fora e eu sei que vou me dar bem
Changes lá vem meu trem
Vem meu trem
Tô saindo fora e eu sei que vou me dar bem
Sempre em frente, nunca pra trásWriter(s): David Bowie

I’m always, I’m always doing the right thing (that’s right)

What am I supposed to know about this?
What am I supposed to have in my hands?
What is written on that paper you have?I’m always doing the right thing
I’m doing the right thing (help me now)What am I not supposed to do now?
What’s that and is it my business?
What exactly, exactly did you tell me?
What’s good, does that mean it’s right?I’m always doing the right thing
I’m doing the right thingShe and I visit the tourist shrines
We are proud of our automobile
She picks out some arts and crafts
I’m deep into the local cuisine
Let me show you my latest CD
Let me take you to the restaurant
Let me drive you to my country house
I hope you appreciate fine works of art nowI’m always doing the right thing
I’m doing the right thingI’m not alone
And we’re all the same
And the world won’t end
It will just change its name
Now give me the bat
Give me the ball
This is my job
Let’s get involved
Give me the phone
Give me the sign
Give me good luck
What’s yours is mine, nowI’m always doing the right thing
I’m doing the right thing
I’m always doing the right thing
I’m doing the right thing
I’m always doing the right thing

Born in a far-off land
A nation of heat and sand
A father who ruled by force
A mother who said, “of course”
A nation of fearful men
And women afraid of them
But learning the family trade
My interest began to fadeI’m a dictator’s son
Born with a silver gun
In a country that’s half insane
In a country that’s banned the rain
He kept his eye on me
Knew I had plans to flee
Strangely today it rained
I hopped a midnight planeFasten your seatbelts
We soon will land
At LAX. hope to see you again
Fasten your seatbelts
We soon will land
At LAX. hope to see you again
Fasten your seatbelts
We soon will land
At LAX. hope to see you againSomewhat reluctantly
I tell her sit down with me
We order drinks and wait
Small talk it’s getting late
One thing you ought to know
Before we up and go
Hope it don’t spoil the fun
But I‘m a dictator’s son
I’m into 60’s Soul
Nat King Cole
Harris Tweed
Bundesliga
I‘m into wings and dip
Girls who strip
Diesel flicks
Party Mix
I’m into Hugo Boss
Dental floss
Party cruise
Jordan shoes
I’m into Instagram
Bands who jam
Coed knees

This is how we roll, a dictator‘s son
This is how we roll a dictator’s son
This is how we roll, a dictator‘s sonSomeday I’ll return with a rebel force
Overturn my father and change the course
Of history for all of my countrymen
But I cannot tell you exactly when
‘Cause this is how we roll a dictator’s sonThis is how we roll, a dictator‘s son
This is how we roll, a dictator‘s son
This is how we roll, a dictator‘s sonSomeday I’ll return with a rebel force

They say Paris is dead
Lived through London and drank through Memphis
The things you live by were once just a guess
And there ain’t no glory in the west
No there ain’t no glory in the west
Hard to think on your feet
Tired of begging them just to compete
Shoot to win can feel so bittersweet
But you take what you can get
‘Cause there ain’t no glory in the west
Blazin’ on ahead, burning through it
Coming down the bend, nowhere left to go, goin’s all we know
Ridin’ past the best, and there’s still no rest
And there’s still no rest
There ain’t no glory in the westWhat’s a boy to do?
Hit the road with a dollar or two
Haunted by what he knows he can’t do
Gets it off his chest
‘Cause there ain’t no glory in the west
Burnin’ on ahead, blazing through it
Running blind again, nowhere left to go, goin’s all we know
Ridin’ past the best, and there’s still no rest
And there’s still no rest
And there’s still no rest
There ain’t no glory in the westCount your blessings they’ll say
And after each midnight begins a new day
But don’t place your bets on a word that they say
They’ll put your life to rest
‘Cause there ain’t no glory in the west
No there ain’t no glory in the west
There ain’t no glory in the westWriter(s): Orville Peck

Found the throughline
For all humankind
If given the time
They’ll blow up or walk on the moon
It’s just what they doFor personal gain
On Thanksgiving Day
I joined the parade
I stood at the top of the float
And threw out a roseWatched a blast from the past
Indigenous dance
Started to laugh
And then I just started to cry
This world is waving goodbyeSo cut a rug let’s throw a party
Birthday cards for everyone
Swallow hard and say you’re sorry
Just admit what you have doneI studied your work
Like architecture
Cathedral of words
The meaning’s not easy to tell
Comes back around on itselfAdmirers, your biographer
The odometer
There’s no way to turn back the clock
It’s going to run until it stopsSo excited to play
Turned up all the way
Electric, ecstatic, psychotic
Jumped into the drums
Was pandemoniumSo if it’s time let’s go together
I will be your ballast now
Let’s sail into that stormy weather
No matter how it turns outI just want to stand by your side
When everyone calls you a lie
I’ll be your shield
There’s still some truth worth defending
Let’s stroll to the edge of the cliff
Stop here and give me a kiss
Now we’re walking on air
There’s no hell beneath our feetGuard my darling bride
They don’t know you
Fear imbalanced bliss
Breeze and lightnessIf it ever occurred
Just once in the world
A love as absurd
As ours I would scream what we lost

You can reinvent yourself so you don’t slip away
You know what? I’ve been there before
Every other dayFade away, that’s a fact
Hold your tongue, you might never come back
It may feel strange to explain
Have I been here before?You can take a piece of the past
And put it up for display
Hang ’em high, hang ’em dry
It’s better off that wayFade away, that’s a fact
Hold your tongue, you might never come back
It may feel strange to explain
Have I been here before?Fade away (Fade away), that’s a fact
Hold your tongue (Hold your tongue)
You might never come back
It may feel strange to explain
Have I been here before?Fade away (Fade away), that’s a fact
Hold your tongue (Hold your tongue)
You might never come back
It may feel strange to explain

Last night I heard a voice that said, “This is the end”
All my nerves have been worn to the threads
I only honestly have one or two left
I got my faith, I got my family
I got a wire fence around my whole stake
If I believe only half what I read
I got a reason to be dug in deepIt’s revelation saying
Don’t come running to me
When they’re coming for youI seen those boys kissing boys
With their mouth in the street
But I raised my son to be a righteous man
I made it clear to him what fear of God meansI’d hold him down on the Tompkins Lake
Before I ever let him go to the wolves
The path we walk is only narrow and straight
No son of mine will wander astray
AbominationDon’t come running to me when they’re coming for you
(Don’t come running to me when they’re coming for you)Last night I heard a voice that said, “Don’t give up your gun”
They keep washing right up on those shores
Man they’re gathering their numbers up
Those bleeding hearts come marching down my road
Well I’ll be waiting right here at my door
It’s a lie to say it wouldn’t be fun
If you’re joining them then I got one
With your name on itDon’t come running to me when they’re coming for you
(Don’t come running to me when they’re coming for you)Don’t come running to me when they come gunning for you
(Don’t come running to me when they come gunning for you)Don’t come running to me when they’re coming for you
(Don’t come running to me when they’re coming for you)God is love

You shoulda heard me in the lounger
Telling people what they was
Spitting out all types of sugar
Just dying for a cause, cause, cause
A smiler slithered to my corner
On a face so true
My word is always in the ready
And I’ll attribute that to youI don’t belong to anyone
I don’t belong to anyone
I don’t belong to anyone
I don’t wanna belong to anyoneYou shoulda heard him in the bowery
Learning people with a tongue
Cut from second-hand cloth
Make the women feel youngI heard him serving as a soldier
In the annex of the earth
Threw himself before a bullet
And threw the metal to the dirt
Hear the man’s wordI don’t belong to anyone
I don’t belong to anyone
I don’t belong to anyone
I don’t wanna belong to anyoneI don’t belong to anyone
I don’t belong to anyone

My girlfriend just dumped me
For Friday night TV
And a boy who’s six-foot-three
She hates me
I fixed the numb, but the numb don’t fix
Now I fixed and I just feel sick
Sick sick, I feel kicks
But the kicks don’t kick so I act a prickI’ve got anxiety
It has got the best of me
Satisfaction guaranteed
AnxietyOur government hates the poor
Cold leaders, cold class war
Given drugs you can’t afford
So the poor can’t buy the cure
Car crash country, car crash scene
Car crash dislocated knee
Car crash tabloid guillotine
Car crash cash for the bones you seeI have got anxiety
It has got the best of me

The other side is cramped
The other side is lonely
The other side is a big fat lie
The other side is phonyEverything is scripted
Access is restricted
I’ve seen all the cables and the wires
I got a really bad reception
When I went over to the other sideI turned my front room to the dark side of the moon
Floating in a vacuum night after night
I found it very hard to concentrate
Thinking what I was missing on the other sideI wanna be where they make decisions
I wanna be where they fill the box
I ended up with a bunch of coked-up public school boys
All trying very hard to grow dreadlocks
So let me tell youThere is nothing on the other side
There is nothing on the other side
I’ve seen the listings
There is nothing on the other side
No, not tonight
Or any other night
The other side is claustrophobic
The other side is tacky show-business
And all you really need to know is this:
That I’ve been playing for the other side
No, it can’t be denied
Where everything was scripted
And access was restricted
And I saw all the cables and the wires
I was the other side of the world
I was the other side of the door
I have been the other side of the bed
I have been the other side of the wallI got a really bad reception
When I went over to the other sideWriter(s): Chilly Gonzales / Jarvis Cocker
