Love is the Drug (Roxy Music)

Pág. 5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRRLTxIxNtM


T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days

I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up, what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down

The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

The Wall (Pink Floyd)

Pág. 29

We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall...


Sigourney Weaver (John Grant)

Pág. 43

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6iWtIFJ-og


When I woke up today

the air was very strange
I couldn't feel my skin
and there was evil in my bones
I tried to speak but found
that I didn't have a voice
It was a prison like the one
you would find in the twilight zone.

And I feel just like Sigourney Weaver
When she had to kill those aliens
and one guy tried to get them back to the earth
and she couldn't believe her ears

So I was taken or I went towards what was west
to where the ground was dead
and struck out at the giant sky
the sky was black and filled with tiny silver holes
and it was there with a frightened voice
that I began to cry out loud

And I feel just like Winona Ryder
in that movie about vampires
and she couldn't get that accent right
and neither could that other guy

And I feel just like I am on Jupiter
the one that looks rainbow sherbert
but it doesn't lend itself to life
and I haven't finished yet.

Girls just want to have fun (Cyndi Lauper)

Pág. 47

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDoFyKk-C4U

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun


The Hymn (The Czars)

Pág. 55

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If-psTIMC9s

People say to me you cannot change
People say you always stay the same
If that were true I would leave this place
I would vanish from this place without a trace
I would leave you alone
Go build yourself a throne

You have said to me you cannot change
Coming from you that sounds very strange
Because you have changed in so many ways
That I have trouble recognizing you from day to day
And trouble is your thing
It takes away the sting

Someday these concerns may be your own
When you’re lost and far away from home
But you won’t have it any other way
Now you’ll have to pay
Clever tricks so sly
But you cannot cry


Where Dreams go to die (John Grant)

Pág. 57

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2mumQ6wmKY

Your Beauty is Unstoppable, your confidence unspeakable
I know you know I know you know, that I know that you know
I'm willing to do anything, to get attention from you dear, even
though I don't have anything that I could bargain with

This is like a well-oiled machine, could I please see that smile again?
It's all that makes me feel like I am living in this world, I see you closing
all the doors, I see the walls as they go up, I know it's what you have to do
I'd probably do the same thing to, my dear

Baby, you are where dreams go to die, and I regret the day
your lovely carcass caught my eye, baby, you are where dreams go to die
and I've got to get away I don't want to but I have to try, oh baby

You have to play your part my dear, I've written it all down for you
it doesn't matter if the things, you say to me aren't true,
just do it then I'll let you go, just say the words and say them slowly
I promise i'll tell no one, yes I cross my heart and hope to die

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three, Two)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (One, Liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much... she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.


Perfection as a Hipster (God Help the Girl)

Pág. 82

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0een57kJ4g

They never met, the singer and the swinger
She walked in, they walked around each other
Fighting for the mirror and smiling
She was awkward
I was tongue tied
She was goofy

And she aspired to perfection as a hipster
And she asked me
"How should I wear my problem hair
My dirty, no good problem hair?"

She asked me
I blew it
I knew it

I always wonder how things could've been
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
Spend every second day just
dreaming how the first one ought to be
My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping

I caught the girl, her eyelids started to flutter
And in my arms
She passed out cold, are you okay?
Just lie still you'll feel better

(What happened? I want to go home)
Feel better
(Where am I, what have I got on?)
Feel better
(You say that but how do you know?)
Feel better
(Who are you, what do you want?)

I always wonder how things could've been
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
Spend every second day just
dreaming how the first one ought to be
My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping...


Robinson Girl (Hotel Guru)

Ballrooms of Mars (T. Rex)

Pág. 114

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sUVNgTQKIE

You gonna look fine
Be primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All on the trembling plane
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And wind and cars
And people of the past

I'll call you thing
Just when the moon sings
And place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars
And gripped in the arms
Of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away
In the Ballrooms of Mars

You talk about day
I'm talking 'bout night time
When the monsters call out
The names of men
Bob Dylan knows
And I bet Alan Freed did
There are things in night
That are better not to behold

You dance
With your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings
That change the faces of men
You diamond browed hag
You're a glitter-gaunt gangster
John Lennon knows your name
And I've seen his


Ivonne (Radio Futura)

Pág. 121

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcxUO2jOikw


A través del cielo gris te divisé por fin
diez martinis en el cuerpo y otro por venir
copas pisadas y tu rostro de perfil.

No seas poética, por favor
mírame a la cara, no mires al ron
móntate en el coche, vamos a Avignon.

Di cómo te llamas
di cómo te llamas
yo me llamo Ivonne.

No seas poética, por favor
mírame a la cara, no mires al ron
móntate en el coche, vamos a Avignon.

Di cómo te llamas
di cómo te llamas
je m'appelle Ivonne.

It's Choade, my Dear (Connan Mockasin)

Pág. 129



I'm a China toad
But I'm in filing mode
Please take it off
Please take it off

I have four arms to see things through,
For fetching food, so we can't stop
Please take it off
All I ask is once again

It's Boston and his friend,
Stops in the haunt again,
Rising from down below

It's Choade and, sure the black dog,
Sure the black dog,
Lose my friend,
It's Choade my dear,
Alone my dear,
Please let go to.

I'm a China toad
But I'm in reckless mode
Please take it off
Please take it off

I have four arms and I have lost my choade
For fetching food, so we can't stop
Please take it off
All I ask is once again

Suite... ?

Love or Confusion (Jimi Hendrix)

Pág. 129

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdfRdVnqhgk

Is that the stars in the sky, or is it 
Rain fallin' down 
Will it burn me if I touch the sun 
So big, so round 

Would I be truthful, yeah, in, 
Choosing' you as the one for me? 
Is this love baby, 
Or is it just confusion? 

My mind is so messed up 
Goin' round and round 
Must there be all the colours 
Without names, without sound, baby? 
My heart burns with feeling, but, 
My mind, it's cold and reeling 
Is this love baby, 
Or is it confusion? 

My head is poundin', poundin' 
Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round 
Must there always be these colours? 
Without names, without sounds 
My heart burns with feeling, but, 
My mind, it's cold and reeling 
Is this love baby, 
Or is it just confusion? 
You tell me baby, is this 
Love or confusion? 

Mama, we must get together and find out 
Exactly what we're tryin' to do 

Love or confusion? 
Confusion


Death is not the End (Nick Cave)

Pág. 147


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJXN5VPkyH8&feature=fvwrel


When you're sad and when you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end



And all that you held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end



Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



When you're standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end



And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end



Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



When the storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end



And there's no-one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end



Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Up in dark and empty skies

When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end



When you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



(by Bob Dylan)

In any other World (Mika)

Pág. 169

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfPN45__0BQ&feature=related


In any other world
You could tell the difference
And let it all unfurl
Into broken remnants
Smile like you mean it
And let yourself let go
Cos it’s all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in
I tried to live alone
But lonely is so lonely, alone
So human as I am
I had to give up my defences
So I smiled and tried to mean it
To let myself let go

Why don't we disappear? (Gonzales + Feist)

Pág. 201

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgYLEoW8CoU

strange dawn breaks today
silence and nothing else
and from your face a light will shine
bright

wake up
the smell of grass
soon things will come to pass
and we will all remember how
bright

so why don't we disappear?
cause i never liked it here

seasons won't change my mind
i'll wait for noone else
but all the winters feel so long

summer's breeze pines away
where have you gone today?
i'll be missing you

so why don't we disappear?
cause i never liked it here

so why don't we disappear?
cause i never liked it here

why...

Diguem no / Digamos no (Raimon)

Pág. 235

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk_ZINe2Bfo



Ara que som junts
diré el que tu i jo sabem
i que sovint oblidem:

Hem vist la por
ser llei per a tots.
Hem vist la sang
-que sols fa sang-
ser llei del món.

No,
jo dic no,
diguem no.
Nosaltres no som d'eixe món.

Hem vist la fam
ser pa
dels treballadors.

Hem vist tancats
a la presó
homes plens de raó.

No,
jo dic no,
diguem no.
Nosaltres no som d'eixe món.

No,
diguem no.
Nosaltres no som d'eixe món.

(TRAD >)

Ahora que estamos juntos
diré lo que tú y yo sabemos

y que a menudo olvidamos:

Hemos visto el miedo
ser ley para todos.
Hemos visto la sangre
-que sólo hace sangre-
ser ley del mundo.

No,
yo digo no,
digamos no.
Nosotros no somos de este mundo.

Hemos visto el hambre
ser pan
de los trabajadores.

Hemos visto cerrados
en la cárcel
a hombres llenos de razón.
No,
yo digo no,
digamos no.
Nosotros no somos de este mundo.

No,
digamos no.
Nosotros no somos de este mundo.



Julien (Placebo)

Pág. 251


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYbfzqiZGTc


The payback is here
Take a look, it's all around you
You thought you'd never she'd a tear
So this must astound,it must confound you

Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain't no singing in the rain
This is a twister that will destroy you

You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide

Fallen angels in the night
And every one is barred from heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But every one turns into seven

Now that's it's snowing in your brain
Even ten will not placate you
This ain't no cure for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you

You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend on whom you can rely
Julien, you're being taken for a ride


La Luna (Chamizo)

Pág. 281

http://chamizo.bandcamp.com/track/la-luna-2

La Luna ha dejado una nota al marchar:
"Creo que este vértigo me va a matar
que nunca me he podido acostumbrar
y sólo ahora ya no puedo más
que yo no sivo para subir y bajar"

La noche ya no tiene con quien hablar
y los océanos a quien admirar
las estrellas se han puesto a llorar
y el sol que no para de trabajar
Te necesito por favor vuelve ya
