The Pretenders - I'll stand by you


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

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

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

Tina Turner - The best


I call you when I need you, my hearts on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild

You come to me, give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, baby

You're simply the best,
better than all the rest,
better than anyone,
anyone I've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart,
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby
I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms I could be in no better place...

You're simply the best,
better than all the rest,
better than anyone,
anyone I've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart,
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby
I would rather be dead

It's the time you leave me I start losing control,
you're walking away with my heart and my soul,
I can feel you even when I'm alone, oh baby dont let go!

And you're best,
better than all the rest,
better than anyone,
anyone I've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart,
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby
I would rather be dead,
ooh you're the best!

Bishop Allen - Butterfly nets


Calm that wicked wind,
to pick you up and carry you off eastward,
though I did release you
for to seek a warmer sky

Should you be blown back
know that I will always run to greet you,
still surprised to catch you
every time

Armed with this small butterfly net
I will face the world alone
and never be lonely

So calm that wicked wind,
and if you go, you could be gone forever
I will play awhile here
by and by and by and by...

Armed with this small butterfly net
I will face the world alone
and never be lonely

Up and up you go
for to steal the secrets of the heavens
will you share them with me
my bright and brilliant spy?

Should you be blown back
know that I will always run to greet you
still surprised to catch you
every time
still surprised to catch you
by and by and by and by...

John Lennon - Oh my love


Oh my love for the first time in my life,
My eyes are wide open,
Oh my lover for the first time in my life,
My eyes can see

I see the wind,
Oh I see the trees,
Everything is clear in my heart,
I see the clouds,
Oh I see the sky,
Everything is clear in our world

Oh my love for the first time in my life,
My mind is wide open,
oh my lover for the first time in my life,
My mind can feel

I feel the sorrow,
Oh I feel dreams,
Everything is clear in my heart,
Everything is clear in our world,
I feel the life,
Oh I feel love.

The Cure - Mint car


The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
I almost can't believe that it's for real

I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!!!

The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! It feels so big it almost hurts!

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should!!!

Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever...

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should!!!

The Smiths - Nowhere fast


I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means (of slender means)
Each household appliance
Is like a new science in my town

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by It's such a sad sound
No ... It's such a sad thing

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
The poor and the needy
Are selfish and greedy on her terms

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump In the ocean
And when a train goes by It's such a sad sound
No ... It's such a sad thing

And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life And I think about death
And neither one
particularly appeals to me

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die ...

Bob Marley and the Wailers - Satisfy my soul


Oh, please don't you rock my boat
'cause I don't want my boat to be rockin'
Oh, please don't you rock my boat
'cause I don't want my boat to be rockin'

I'm telling you that, oh, oh-ooh, wo-o-wo!
I like it - like it this
So keep it steady, like this.
And you should know - you should know by now:
I like it, I like it like this
I like it like this, ooh yeah!

You satisfy my soul
You satisfy my soul
Every little action
There's a reaction
Oh, can't you see what you've done for me, oh, yeah!
I am happy inside all - all of the time.
When we bend a new corner,
I feel like a sweepstake winner.

When I meet you around the corner
You make me feel like a sweepstake winner
Whoa, child! cant you see? you must believe me!
Oh darling, darling, I'm calling, calling:
Can't you see? why won't you believe me?
Oh, darling, darling, I'm calling, calling

When I meet you around the corner,
Oh, I said, baby, never let me be a loner,
And then you hold me tight, you make me feel all right.
Yes, when you hold me tight, you made me feel all right.
Whoa, honey, can't you see?
don't you believe me?
Oh, darling, darling, Im callin', callin':
Can't you see? why won't you believe me?
Oh, darling, darling, Im callin', callin'.

Satisfy my soul - satisfy my soul -
satisfy my soul - satisfy my soul:
That's all I want you to do, thats all I'll take from you:
Satisfy my soul, satisfy my soul.

John Lennon - Woman


Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman I will try express,
My inner feelings and thankfullness,
For showing me the meaning of succsess,
oooh well, well,
oooh well, well,

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However, distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
oooh well, well,
oooh well, well,

Woman please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah)....

Morrissey - Yes, I'm blind


Yes, I am blind
no, I can't see
the good things
just the bad things

Yes, I am blind
no, I can't see
there must be something
horribly wrong with me

God come down
if you're really there
well you're the one
who claims to care


Love's young dream
I'm the one who shopped you
I'm the one who stopped you
'cause in my sorry way I love you

Love's young dream
are you sorry
for what you've done?
well, you're not the only one
and in my sorry way I love you

Yes, I am blind
but I do see
Evil people prosper
over the likes of you and me
ALWAYS

God come down
if you're really there
well you're the one
who claims to care


Little lamb
on a hill
run fast if you can
good Christians
they want to KILL you
and your life has not even begun!
you're just like me
just like me
oh, your life has not even begun
you're just like me
just like me
and your life has not even begun

Charlie Hunter feat. Norah Jones - More than this *


I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing

Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing

As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
There is nothing
Oh more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
You know there's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going

No care in the world
And maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
It has no way of turning

More than this
You know there is nothing
Oh more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing
Nothing
More than this
You know there is nothing
Much more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing

*Versión original de Roxy Music

The Beatles - It's all too much


When I look into your eyes, your love is there for me
And the more I go inside, the more there is to see

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much

Floating down the stream of time, of life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here
All the world is birthday cake,
So take a piece but not too much

Sail me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea

It's all to much for me to see
A love that's shining all around here
The more I am, the less I know
And what I do is all too much

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much

It's too much.....It's too much

The Smiths - Hand in glove


Hand in glove
the sun shines out of our behinds
No, it's not like any other love
this one is different because is us

Hand in glove
we can go wherever we please
and everything depends upon
how near you stand to me

And if the people stare
then, the people stare
I really don't know
and i really don't care!

Hand in glove
the Good People laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by "rags"
but we have something they'll never have

And if the people stare
then, the people stare
I really don't know
and I really don't care!

So hand in glove I stake my claim
I'll fight to the last breath
If they dare touch a hair on your head
I'll fight to the last breath
For The Good Life is out there, somewhere
So stay on my arm, you little charmer
But I know my luck too well
yes, I know my luck too well
and I'll probably never see you again
I'll probably never see you again

Mercedes Sosa - Soy pan, soy paz, soy más


Yo soy, yo soy, yo soy
soy agua, playa, cielo, casa, planta,
soy mar, Atlántico, viento y América,
soy un montón de cosas santas
mezcladas con cosas humanas
como te explico . . . cosas mundanas.

Fui niño, cuna, teta, techo, manta,
más miedo, cuco, grito, llanto, raza,
después mezclaron las palabras
o se escapaban las miradas
algo pasó . . . no entendí nada.

Vamos, decime, contame
todo lo que a vos te está pasando ahora,
porque sino cuando está el alma sola llora
Hay que sacarlo todo afuera, como la primavera
nadie quiere que adentro algo se muera
Hablar mirándose a los ojos,
sacar lo que se puede afuera
para que adentro nazcan cosas nuevas.

Soy pan, soy paz, sos más, soy el que está por acá
no quiero más de lo que me puedas dar,
hoy se te da, hoy se te quita,
igual que con la margarita . . . igual al mar,
igual la vida...

Vamos, decime, contame
todo lo que a vos te está pasando ahora,
porque sino cuando está el alma sóla llora
hay que sacarlo todo afuera, como la primavera
nadie quiere que adentro algo se muera
hablar mirándose a los ojos
sacar lo que se puede afuera
para que adentro nazcan cosas nuevas.
