Morrissey - Such a little thing makes such a big difference


Such a little thing
such a little thing
but the difference it made was great

There you go
wielding a bicycle chain
why won't you change?
change and be nice?

Such a little thing
a genlte tone of kindness
or written words on paper
can you write?

How I love all of the very simple things of life
(god's good air)
How I love all of the very simple things of life

Such a little thing
a fumbling politeness
oh, the difference, it saved me

Wielding a bicycle chain
why won't you change?
I will not change and I will not be nice!

Most people keep their brains between their legs
(don't you find?)

Leave me alone,
I was only singing
leave me alone because
I was only singing
Leave me alone

You have proved again
most people keep their brains between their legs.

Ludus - Sightseeing


When I can see through you
what can I see?
can I see me?
does my objectivity
allow me access to your points of view?
can you see what
I see in you?

You can see what I see in you
you can see what I see in you

You can't feel what I feel
you can't feel what I feel

The Beatles - Getting Better


It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
You're holding me down, turning me round
Filling me up with your rules.

I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine.

Me used to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can.

I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I have to admit its getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can.

I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
Yes I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
Its getting better all the time
Getting so much better all the time

Los Abuelos de la Nada - Sin gamulán


Tanto tiempo te esperé
sentado aquí
que ya el invierno me alcanzó
sin gamulán.

Será por eso que hoy estamos aquí
no hay nadie más
que vos y yo,
será por eso que hoy estamos aquí
no hay nadie más
que vos y yo.

Tantas veces lo soñé
como real
que quiso el tiempo
y quiso nada más.

Será por eso que hoy estamos aquí
no hay nadie más
que vos y yo,
será por eso que hoy estamos aquí
no hay nadie más
que vos y yo.

Me habrás dejado
resulta extraño
porque a mi lado
no has estado jamás.

Será por eso que hoy estamos aquí
no hay nadie más
que vos y yo,
será por eso que hoy estamos aquí
no hay nadie más
que vos y yo.

Bob Dylan - Spanish Harlem Incident


Ahora sí...


Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
Cannot hold you to its heat.
Your temperature's too hot for taming,
Your flaming feet are burnin' up the street.
I am homeless, come and take me
To the reach of your rattling drums.
Let me know, babe, all about my fortune
Down along my restless palms.

Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed,
I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes, so fast an' slashing,
An' your flashing diamond teeth.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my
Pale face fit in the place, ah, please!
Let me know, babe, I'm nearly drowning,
If it's you my lifelines trace.

I been wond'rin' all about me
Ever since I seen you there.
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding,
I know I'm 'round you but I don't know when.
You have slayed me, you have made me,
I got to laugh halfways off my heels.
I got to know, babe, will you surround me
So I can know if I'm really real.

Paul McCartney - At the mercy


At the mercy
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy road
Who can handle such a heavy load?

At the mercy
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
We can think of nothing more to say

If you show me love
I wont refuse
I know you'd never make me choose
Between the love I got
And the love I'd lose

Sometimes I'd rather run and hide
Than stay and face the fear inside

At the mercy
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
Who can bare to turn their head away?

At the mercy
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy road
We can watch the universe explode

If you take me up
I wont say no
I guess you'd rather see me grow
Into a better man
Than the one you know

Sometimes my head is hanging low
It's time to get on with the show

At the mercy
At the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
I can think of nothing more to say

Blur - Beetlebum


Beetlebum
What you done
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

Get nothing done
You beetlebum
Just get numb
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on
all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong, I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong, she turns me on
Beetlebum

Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you come
Coz, she's your gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

He's on, he's on, he's on it

The Cure - Catch

Yeah I know who you remind me of
A girl I think I used to know
Yeah I'd see her when the days got colder
On those days when it felt like snow

You know I even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like I just wasn't there

And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name

And sometimes we would spend the night
Just rolling about on the floor
And I remember even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore...

You know I even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
And stay like that for quite a while

And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name

Yeah I sometimes even tried to catch her
But never even caught her name

Joy Division - Love will tear us apart


When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

Coiffeur - Qué mala suerte


Sigo buscando la voz
que me hable de vos
de nuevas maneras,
el olor del pasto recien cortado,
alguna larga espera.

Ahí va tu imagen
que habla más de mí,
un holograma con movimiento,
lo que se ve y lo que dejo entrever
ahora lo entiendo.

Al menos eso creo.

Quiero volver a callar
aquella palabra que nunca mencionamos
sería inevitable repetir la misma escena
una y otra vez.

Tal vez sea cierto,
lo que queremos no es lo que hacemos,
lo que buscamos esconde un defecto,
es la manera en la que construimos.

El momento, la acción, el movimiento,
recuerdo, ya estuve llorando por esto.

Tal vez sea cierto,
lo que queremos no es lo que hacemos,
lo que buscamos esconde un defecto,
es la manera en la que construimos.

El momento, la acción, el movimiento,
a vos que te parece,
qué pensás al respecto.
Mejor no me lo digas,
guardemos secretos
tengo una lista de películas
que quiero ver.

Coincidimos y no es casualidad,
qué mala suerte,
no es casualidad.

Coincidimos y no es casualidad,
qué mala suerte,
no es casualidad.

Tal vez sea cierto,
lo que queremos no es lo que hacemos,
lo que buscamos esconde un defecto,
es la manera en la que construimos.

El momento, la acción, el movimiento,
a vos que te parece,
qué pensás al respecto.
Mejor no me lo digas,
guardemos secretos
tengo una lista de películas
que quiero ver.

Coincidimos y no es casualidad,
qué mala suerte,
no es casualidad.

Bob Dylan - Queen Jane Approximately


When your mother sends back all your invitations
And your father to your sister he explains
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And all of your children start to resent you
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned
Have died in battle or in vain
And you're sick of all this repetition
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

When all of your advisers heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

The Smiths - I won't share you


I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive, the ambition
the zeal I feel
this is my time

The note I wrote
was as she read,
she said has the Perrier gone straight to my head
or is life plainly sick and cruel, instead?
"YES!" No-no-no-no-no-no no-no-no-no-no-no

I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive and the dreams inside
this is my time

Life tends to come and go
well, that's OK just as long as you know
Life tends to come and go
well, that's OK just as long as you know.

I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive and the dreams inside
this is my time
this is my time

I want the freedom and I want the guile
I want the freedom and the guile
Life tends to come and go
As long as you know

I won't share you
I won't share you
I'll see you somewhere
I'll see you sometime...

Bob Dylan - It ain't me, babe


Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.


-como una vez le dí gracias a los Beatles, hoy te doy gracias a vos, Bob-

The Beatles - I want to tell you


I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words, they seem to slip away

When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's all right
Ill make you maybe next time around

But if I seem to act unkind
It isn't me, its just my mind
That is confusing things

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
But I dont mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

I've got time

Led Zeppelin - Tangerine


Measuring a summers day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

Tangerine, Tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

Bob Dylan - Fourth time around


When she said,"Don't waste
your words, they're just lies,"
I cried she was deaf.
And she worked on my face
until breaking my eyes,
Then said, "What else you got left?"
It was then that I got up to leave
But she said, "Don't forget,
Everybody must give something back
For something they get."

I stood there and hummed,
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
And she buttoned her boot,
And straightened her suit,
Then she said, "Don't get cute."
So I forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs,
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum.

She threw me outside,
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
And after finding I'd
Forgotten my shirt,
I went back and knocked.
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
And I tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against . . .

Her Jamaican rum
And when she did come, I asked her for some.
She said, "No, dear."
I said, "Your words aren't clear,
You'd better spit out your gum".
She screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the floor,
And I covered her up and then
Thought I'd go look through her drawer.

And, when I was through
I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you.
And you, you took me in,
You loved me then
You didn't waste time.
And I, I never took much,
I never asked for your crutch.
Now don't ask for mine.

Vanilla Fudge - You keep me hangin' on


Set me free, why don't you babe?
Get out my life, why don't you babe? Oooh
You really don't want me, you just keep me hangin' on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep comin' around playin' with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me try to make a new start?
Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me
Set me free, why don't you babe?
Get out my life, why don't you now? Oooh
You really don't want me, you just keep me hangin' on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hangin' on
You said when we broke up you just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seein' you only breaks my heart again?
There ain't nothin' I can do about it

You know I really love
- set me free, why don't you babe? -
Talkin' 'bout love
- get out my life, why don't you babe? Oooh -
You really don't want me, you just keep me hangin' on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hangin' on
Get out my life, why don't you babe? Oooh

Invisible - Irregular

Mientras la ciudad calla o prosigue
Aún en el corazón de la urbe
Se escucha el clamor de un grito de inocencia
No hay nada
ni nadie que comprenda
Y entre los telones de esta farsa
Se sacude ansioso el Misterio Eterno
De aquellas venas sangraba Dios
(Dios y su troupe)

Su cabeza cayó de rodillas
Y su vientre rodó por entre el tráfico
(Que es irregular)

The Beatles - If I needed someone


If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of

If I needed someone

If I had some more time to spend
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend

If I needed someone

Had you come some other day

Then it might not have been like this

But you see now I'm too much in love

Carve your number on my wall

And maybe you will get a call from me

If I needed someone


If I had some more time to spend

Then I guess I'd be with you my friend

If I needed someone

Had you come some other day
Then it might not have been like this

But you see now I'm too much in love

Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me

If I needed someone

Charly García - Víctima


Víctima de soledad
víctima de un mal extraño
mi corazón se ha partido en dos.
¿Quién te ha visto y quién te ve?
Quién te ama te hace daño
mi corazón se ha partido en dos
veo esa sangre en la pared
iluminó mi ser
algo va a caer
veo tu sombra y ya no sé
ya no sé qué hacer
algo va a caer

Víctima de libertad
víctima de un sol extraño
¡Oh!
Mi corazón se ha partido en dos
cuando todos van a ver
cuando va a nacer
todo va a caer
tengo que salir y volver
desaparecer
y alguien va a caer
víctima de libertad
víctima de soledad...

Supertramp - Hide in your shell


Hide in your shell
'cause the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell,
was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?
Sheltered behind, painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
'cause it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back up on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know

All through the night, as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

Too frightening the fire's becoming colder
Too beautiful to think you're getting older
You're looking for someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion
You're surrounded by confusion
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cause it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back up on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know

I wanna know...
I wanna know...
I wanna know you...
I've got to know you
Well let me know you

I wanna feel you
Oh I wanna touch you
Please let me near you, let me near you
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why dont ya hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen, you can
Trust me, Oh there's a place I know the way to
A place there is no need to, to feel you
To feel that you're all alone

Hear me
I know exactly what you're feelin'
'cause all your troubles are within you
so begin to see that I'm just bleeding to
Oh Love me, love you
Loving is the way to Help me, help you
- Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we're such damn fools...

The Smiths - Still ill


I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
England is mine and it owes me a living
But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
but we cannot cling
to the old dreams anymore
no, we cannot cling to those dreams.
Does the body rule the mind
or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno...

Under the iron bridge we kissed
and although I ended up with sore lips
it just wasn't like
the old days anymore
no, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill?
Oh no...
Am I still ill?
Oh no...

Does the body rule the mind
or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno...
Ask me why and I'll die
ask me why and I'll die

And if you must go to work tomorrow
well if I were you I wouldn't bother
for there are brighter sides to life
and I should know because I've seen them
but not very often .

Under the iron bridge we kissed
and although I ended up with sore lips
it just wasn't like
the old days anymore
no it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill?
Oh no...
Am I still ill?
Oh no...

The Pretenders - I go to sleep


When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you'll always be near to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me
And feel you are ever so close to me
Each tear that flows from my eye
Brings back memories of you to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you till the day I die
You were all, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes again
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by
Until finally my time descends on me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

Morrissey - I know it's gonna happen someday

My love, wherever you are

whatever you are
don't lose faith
I know it's gonna happen someday
to you
Please wait
please wait
wait
don't lose faith
You say that the day just never arrives
and it's never seemed so far away
still, I know it's gonna happen someday
to you
Please wait
don't lose faith.

The Beach Boys - I just wasn´t made for these times

I keep looking for a place to fit

Where i can speak my mind
I've been trying hard to find the people
That i won't leave behind

They say i got brains
But they ain't doing me no good
I wish they could

Each time things start to happen again
I think i got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong
.
Sometimes i feel very sad
Sometimes i feel very sad
(can't find nothin' i can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes i feel very sad
(can't find nothin' i can put my heart and soul into)
I guess i just wasn't made for these times
.
Every time i get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
.
Where can i turn when my fair weather friends cop out
What's it all about
.
Each time things start to happen again
I think i got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong
.
Sometimes i feel very sad
Sometimes i feel very sad
(can't find nothin' i can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes i feel very sad
(can't find nothin' i can put my heart and soul into)
.
I guess i just wasn't made for these times
I guess i just wasn't made for these times

New Order - Thieves Like Us / The Perfect Kiss

Thieves Like Us
.
I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
.
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us
.
I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
.
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love
.
Oh, love is found in the east and west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
.
It's called love
And it's so un-cool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife
.
.
The Perfect Kiss
.
I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his guilt,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
.
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
.
When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death

John Lennon - (Just like) Starting Over


Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling

It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere

Starting over

Pink Floyd - Us and them

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.

Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it's only round and round.
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

Bob Dylan - My Back Pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

The Smiths - The boy with the thorn in his side

The boy with the thorn in his side
behind the hatred there lies
a murderous desire
for love

How can they look into my eyes
and still they don't believe me?
How can they hear me say those words
and still they don't believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
will they ever will they ever believe me?

The boy with the thorn in his side
behind the hatred there lies
a plundering desire
for love

How can they see the Love in our eyes
and still they don't believe us?
And after all this time
they don't want to believe us
and if they don't believe us now
will they ever believe us?
And when you want to Live
how do you start?
Where do you go?
Who do you need to know?

The Beatles - There's a place

There is a place
where I can go
when I feel low,
when I feel blue.

And it's my mind,
and there's no time
when I'm alone.

I think of you,
and things you do
go 'round my head,
the things you said.
Like "I love
only you."

In my mind there's no sorrow,
Don't you know that it's so?
There'll be no sad tomorrow,
Don't you know that it's so?

There is a place
where I can go
when I feel low,
when I feel blue.

And it's my mind,
and there's no time
when I'm alone.

There's a place...

Re Sostenido

Este es un pequeño infrablog vergonzante.
¿Por qué vergonzante?
Porque aquí voy a desarrollar un placer culpable: transcribir letras de canciones o pedazos de las mismas que sean significativas para mí por h o por b, y que tal vez representen algo que me sucede o sucedió. Sin más que eso. No pretendo que las lean. No pretendo nada.

Es sólo para sacarme las ganas.
