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...

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.
