Ya sabes te amo pero estoy guardando una dinamita en mi corazón
Necesito declararme en corto circuito me pase la vida viendo y viendo como hacen el mundo en vez de hacerlo yo na na na na na ea me pase la vida viendo y viendo como hacen el mundo en vez de hacerlo yo
No me digas nada tengo taquicardia antes de apagarme tengo que explotar
Muñequitos De Papel Composer(s): Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
Muñequitos de papel, mazapán y cordel Quien les puso el cascabel vino a ver, bailen bien Testaferros del poder, sin querer Cancerberos del querer sin poder Muñequitos de papel sin laurel, sin laurel
En la fiesta de Babel nada es fiel, nadie es fiel Quién se lleva este pastel y el mantel, y el mantel? Qué ha quedado del país? Este gris El color de subsistir no es vivir Muñequitos de papel y oropel, y oropel
En un tren fuera de riel, barco sin timonel, las promesas del ayer, leche y miel, leche y miel Si la historia ha de atenuar su traición cuántas vidas de pesar pesan hoy? Muñequitos de papel sorda piel, sorda piel
Muñequitos de papel, mazapán y cordel Cuando se largue a llover quién los va a guarecer? Testaferros del poder, sin querer Cancerberos del querer sin poder Muñequitos de papel sin laurel, sin laurel
Going Back West Composer(s): Jimmy Cliff Performer(s): Jimmy Cliff; Boney M.
I was born and raised in the ghetto Talk with me and you'll know I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side I started looking around, for a possibility
Listen to my story, of what became of me
I met a businessman Who said he had some friends back east So why don't you come along Well we can help you at least We'll make you into a big star By playing your guitar But the joke was on me They left me flat to see
Going back west Yes I know I'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think I'll do alright
Going back west Yes I know I'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think I'll do alright
Struggling for recognition, identity and respect I got a lot of promises They told me not to fret So we will stand by you If the going gets rough But when I started thinking They didn't even bluff
'bout a year has come and gone And left me standing here Thinking how it could have been For still I ain't nowhere They surely took me for a ride Trampled on my pride But I hold my head up high Got no more tears to cry
Going back west Yes I know I'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think I'll do alright
Going back west Yes I know I'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think I'll do alright
Going back west Yes I know I'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night
Tapioca Tundra Composer(s): Michael Nesmith Performer(s): The Monkees; R. Stevie Moore
Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme Lose themselves in other times And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells That speak in clouded clues It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you
Careful plays on fields That seems to vanish when they're in between And softly as I walk away In freshly tattered shoe It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you
Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease
Silhouettes and figures stay Close to what he had to say And one more time the faded dream Is saddened by the news It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you
Well, Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease
Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease
Silhouettes and figures stay Close to what he had to say And one more time the faded dream Is saddened by the news It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you
Going Back To Georgia Composer(s): Brian Claflin; Adam Duritz; Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith; Bill & Bonnie Hearne
Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry New York, New York is a friend of the traveling kind And I'm coming around from years of hard times He's chased me down through the towns and the miles Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
Chorus
And if you feel my love won't leave you And if your sorrow has been your share If you are traveling back to Georgia (oo ooo back to Georgia) Won't you take me with you there Well I'm long gone darlin', lonesome blue I been thinking of leavin', I been thinkin' o you But that big city singin' man, I like the way that it shines I was half a mile from Canada waitin' on a train Wonderin' and wishin' I could disappear again I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line
Chorus:
And if you feel my love won't leave you And if your sorrow has been your share If you are traveling back to Georgia (oo ooo back to Georgia) Won't you take me with you there Well, I been troubled by a love untrue He's a fool who'll drown in his fountain of youth I can see that now as I'm walkin' and talkin' with you Well, I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain Scattered in America, I'm scatterin' again But if you're goin' south darlin, I guess I'm travelin' with you
Chorus
Chorus
Take me with you ... Oh .... won't you take me home
Tapestry Composer(s): Carole King First release by: Carole King - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue an everlasting vision of the ever-changing view A wonderous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold a tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold
Once amid the soft, silver sadness in the sky there came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide and a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side
He moved with some uncertainty as if he didn't know just what he was there for, or where he ought to go Once he reached for something, golden hanging from a tree and his hand came down empty...
Soon within my tapestry along the rugged road he sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell and I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared a figure gray and ghostly beneath the flowing beard in times of deepest darkness I've seen him dressed in black now my tapestry's unraveling, he's come to take me back He's come to take me back

Soy tan sólo una muñeca que no sabe de amor El corazón pongo en mi canción (poupée de cire, poupée de son)
Soy de seda, soy de trapo, pero no de salón Mi vida es dulce como un bombón (poupée de cire, poupée de son)
En mis discos pueden ver mi corazón tal como es Y mi voz se puede oír en todas partes a la vez
Todas las demás muñecas ríen alrededor Eso es que bailan con mi canción (poupée de cire, poupée de son)
Esas mismas que se mueven por un sí, por un no Esas que juegan con el amor (poupée de cire, poupée de son)
Lalalalala lalalala lalala lalalala
En mis discos pueden ver mi corazón tal como es Y mi voz se puede oír en todas partes a la vez
Me pregunto cada instante por qué canto al amor Si todavía mi corazón ninguna vez se enamoró
Soy tan sólo una muñeca que no sabe de amor Con los cabellos igual que el sol (poupée de cire, poupée de son)
Pero algún día sabré de amor (poupée de cire, poupée de son) Pero algún día sabré de amor (poupée de cire, poupée de son)
Going Back Composer(s): Barkam; Adams Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John
I wanna go back to those sweet and simple days Goin' back to that cheerful little place Goin' back, back through time Back through space, goin' back
Do you remember when we had such fun Playing all those happy games in the sun We didn't have too much to think about All our problems had a way of working out
I wanna go back to those sweet and simple days Goin' back to that cheerful little place Goin' back, back through time Back through space, goin' back
Skipping through the park and holding hands We were building castles in the sand Everything was rosy way back then Oh, come on, let's make it happen again
I wanna go back to those sweet and simple days Goin' back to that cheerful little place Goin' back, back through time Back through space, goin' back
Tap Turns On The Water Composer(s): J. Cameron - Alexis Korner Performer(s): CCS
Peak through the bathroom door Did you ever - did you ever See a sister in the raw? Did you ever - did you ever Swear you could booze all night? Did you ever - did you ever Sweatin' hard and you turn in white? Did you ever - did you ever They're wrong so you're cutting out Did you ever - did you ever Back to the window and they were gone out Yes you did - you only did
Tap turns on the water, see the waters flow Eight corn makes a forest, watch the forest grow Everything's behind you, everything's become Come and ride a river, come and find the sun
Now's the time to get up and do it Don't blame it to the right When there's so much to be done Now's the time to forget that you flew it Left time to do it right 'Cause the jubelee has come
Tap turns on the water, see the waters flow Eight corn makes a forest, watch the forest grow Tap turns on the water, see the waters flow Eight corn makes a forest, watch the forest grow
Tap turns on the water, see the waters flow Eight corn makes a forest, watch the forest grow Tap turns on the water, see the waters flow Eight corn makes a forest, watch the forest grow...

Eras la luz de mis ojos, mi muñeca de cristal eras, mujer, como una flor, que no se deja cortar Y ahora que vuelvo a encontrarte, tu mirada se endureció y aquella piel que tanto amé, la droga te la quemó Vives deprisa, muñeca, y así te vas a matar eras la Reina de mi amor, y ahora, ¡qué pena me das! Fuíste mi sueño imposible, lo que nunca logré tocar y en cambio hoy, el cuerpo aquél, lo vendes para volar Vives deprisa, muñeca, y así te vas a matar eras la Reina de mi amor, y ahora, ¡qué pena me das! Hubiera dado hasta mi vida ayer por ser tu sombra o tu perro fiel te quise amar, pero ya ves la droga es tu gran amor Vives deprisa, muñeca, y así te vas a matar eras la Reina de mi amor, y ahora, ¡qué pena me das!
Goin' To The Bank Composer(s): Franne Golde; Andy Goldmark; Dennis Lambert Performer(s): The Commodores
She knows I want her she knows I need her
she knows she got my love But I'm apprehensive she's so expensive girl
just can't get enough I'm the one who does 9 to 5 hustlin' for my bread
While she's decidin' what dress to buy
layin' around in my bed
Goin' to the bank she got me goin' to the bank She keeps me runnin' to the bank she got me got me
Drives my Mercedes lunch with the ladies
she loves the finer things What have I created
now I'm afraid to see what tomorrow brings She don't know what it does to me trying to keep her in line
If love is iust a big charge account
why'd it have to be mine?
Goin' to the bank she got me goin' to the bank She keeps me runnin' to the bank she got me got me
Hello! - Oh hi can I help you today? Yeah I'd like to make another withdrawal Again? - Yeah again Well as you know by now there is a substantial penalty for early withdrawal
She knows I love her knows how I need her
she knows I really care I can't afford her
I should've taught her I ain't no billionaire Gotta get her to understand soon the will be dry
If she don't love the simple things maybe I'm the wrong guy
Goin' to the bank she got me goin' to the bank She keeps me runnin' to the bank she got me got me
She thinks she saves me money buyin' everything on sale But she believes in quantity now I'm afraid to open my mail Goin' to the bank she got me goin' to the bank
Now the girl's gotta look good for me
but this is going too far 'Cause she won't feel so beautiful when they repossess my car Goin' to the b-a-n-k she got me goin' to the bank
Goin' to the bank she got me goin' to the bank She keeps me runnin' to the bank she got me got me. Goin' to the b-a-n-k B-a-n-k B-a-n-k B-a-n-k

Me haces daño fingiendo un cariño que nunca sentiste me haces daño negando a mi vida tu sinceridad Tus caricias me ofenden pues siempre te fui indiferente tus halagos me insultan pues nunca dijiste verdad

Tanto daño me causa pensar que no puedes quererme y que inútil ha sido el afán de mi eterna ansiedad que me odio yo mismo por haber fracasado y por ser tan pequeño mi amor para darte la felicidad
