Wasurekaketeta ai no kaori yo
Ichido wa kizutsuita hazu no kokoro de
Shinjiaeru ni wa amari ni kanashisugiru
I began to forget the scent of love
My heart which remains scarred
Is too sorrowful to believe anymore
(Tatsuro Yamashita, “That Bewitching Scent”)
I’m just a freak here at the sideshow
Where all the people can look at me
Between the strong man and the tattooed lady
I’m here to look at, not to see
I’ve seen the hard looks and the empty stares
I’ve heard the sighs and silent screams
I’ve felt the pain that comes when no ones cares
Know the ache of your worst dreams
This is what a broken heart can do
There is no wire or strings
I’ve lost everything
Don’t be sure that it won’t happen to you
(Takako Mamiya, “What A Broken Heart Can Do”)
Ever since that day, I got hurt by love
My days and nights are upside down
While dancing at trendy discos
I’ve learned this magic… I’m sorry!
Don’t really fall in love with me
Love’s just a game, if I can have fun, that’s alright
Fancy clothes that bury my broken heart
Help me ease my loneliness
I’m just playing games, I know that’s plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat, another morning comes
(Mariya Takeuchi, “Plastic Love”)
I used to play at love
Love became an empty game
I walked away from love, I always had myself to blame
I hid my fragile ways away
(Tatsuro Yamashita, “Fragile”)
Can it be I stayed away too long
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
It’s not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I’m at
You don’t have to worry cause I’m coming
Back to where I should have always stayed
And now I’ve heard the maybe to your story
And it’s enough love for me to stay
(Michael Jackson, “I Wanna Be Where You Are”)
I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin’ insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlin’s shadow belittlin’ me
Stalin’s tomb won’t let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me
How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you’re alone
And you’re cold inside
(Michael Jackson, “Stranger in Moscow”)
(I’ll add more later. I love way too many songs!)
