Me dice el corazón que no soy de este planeta que caí de algún cometa fuera de circulación O acaso sea un clon de algo así como un salvaje que articula algún lenguaje de una extraña dimensión Porque sucede que entro la fe y la felonía la herencia y la herejía la jaula y la jauría entra morir o matar prefiero, amor, amar prefiero amar, prefiero amar prefiero amor, amar También pudiera ser que me esté volviendo loco porque me pegó el siroco de la levedad del ser Y qué le voy a hacer si me falla alguna pieza por creer que la Belleza no se rindo ante el poder Porque sucede... Y puestos a elegir entro el oro y el Parnaso yo me pido ser payaso mago, acróbata o faquir O acaso un elixir con orgiásticas burbujas o la bola de las brujas donde sueña el porvenir Porque sucede...
So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star Composer(s): Chris Hillman - Jim McGuinn Performer(s): The Byrds and multiple other artists
So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star? Then listen now to what I say Just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play And with your hair swung right And your pants too tight It's gonna be all right Then it's time to go downtown Where the agent man won't let you down Sell your soul to the company Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware And in a week or two If you make the charts The girls'll tear you apart
The price you paid for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane The money, the fame, the public acclaim Don't forget what you are You're a rock 'n' roll star!
Predictable Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
Don't know why I'm even bothering (Predictable) Yeah, that's the mood I'm in Go out for a walk then I come back in (Predictable) Yeah, the mood that I'm in (Predictable) Every day of my life Can't even communicate with my wife (Predictable) That's the word of the year (Predictable) All I see, all I hear
Go to my office, sit at my desk Predictably just like all of the rest I sit and I dream about far away places Away from the people with frowns on their faces All of my life is monotony I'd go out for a walk but I know it would be (Predictable) Sure as the nose on my face (Predictable) Same for the whole human race
Once we (once we) had so many options Once we (once we) had dignity and grace Now we (now we) have got nothing but our own time to waste
(Predictable) Yeah, that's the word of the year (Predictable) All I see, all I hear Why can't it be like never before? (Predictable) Yeah, ain't life a bore (Predictable) Life gets more and more... Just like I've heard it all somewhere before (Predictable) Sure as the nose on my face (Predictable) Same for the whole human race
One day (one day) it's gonna get better some way (some way) I wish it would get worse any way (any way) What can I lose, it might turn into something better
It gets harder and harder the harder I try (Predictable) Feels like a good time to die I kiss you hello then I kiss you good-bye (Predictable) Just like the stain on my tie (Predictable) Just like the jacket I wear (Predictable) The way that I'm combing my hair Turn on the TV, just sit and stare (Predictable) There's nothing happening there
Yeah, that's the word of the year (Predictable) All I see, all I hear
Predicción De La Fiesta Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Enciende amigo tu alegría y tu hoguera que se acerca el tiempo de la vida Quemad, quememos las palabras antiguas las palabras del miedo y de la muerte
Y ven, mira que la fiesta empieza ven Sobre los muros, los estanques, las plazas sobre el viento y la roca escribiremos la poesía que asalte con payasos y pólvora la ciudad del agobio y la costumbre
Y ven, mira que la fiesta empieza ven Instituciones alambradas y leyes hombres de estado y otras antigüedades serán recuerdos, pesadillas lejanas que estudiará algún sabio bajo los árboles
So You Think You've Got Troubles Composer(s): Marvin Rainwater Performer(s): Marvin Rainwater
So you think you've got troubles The more you try the worse you get So you think the world don't like you Well brother, you ain't heard nothing yet
My car sounds like an old tin can My wife went off with another man And I strained a muscle of my fishing hand My income tax is due
Now I lost my money in a poker game And I think my left leg is a-goin' lame My brother asked if I'd change my name And that's what I think I'll do
My doctor told me not to smoke Drink nothing stronger than a coke I'm not even supposed to hear dirty jokes For I'd laugh and strain my heart I had every ailment known to man From the African mumps to a dishpan hands I lost every race that I ever ran
I didn't even get a start
So you think you've got troubles The more you try the worse you get So you think the world don't like you Well brother, you ain't heard nothing yet
Now some people call me a pessimist They say that I oughta make the best of this Well, maybe I am a pessimist That's something that I wouldn't know But one thing I do know, I'll tell you right now
I'm a-milkin' the wrong end of this old cow There's to many wrinkles in this boy's brow That stuff has got to go
So you think you've got troubles The more you try the worse you get So you think the world don't like you Well brother, you ain't heard nothing yet
So I put me a bar in the back of my car And drive myself to drink!
Precisamente, Tú Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Me dicen que has hablado mal de mi No lo comprendo Me dicen que tu has dicho no se que Me habran mentido Pues no concibo que seas tu Precisamente, tu
Tu, precisamente, tu De mi vas murmurando Tu, precisamente, tu Que tanto me has amado
Tu, que si el mundo me hubieses pedido Lo hubiera robado por dartelo a ti Y que si pena veia en tus ojos Hacia el payaso por verte reir
Tu, tu, tu, tu, precisamente, tu De mi vas murmurando Tu, precisamente, tu No puede ser verdad
Y aunque el sol y la luna me digan Que si que te oyeron de mi murmurar Yo dire que no, que es mentira Tu no puedes hablar mal de mi
Tu, que si el mundo me hubieses pedido Lo hubiera robado por dartelo a ti Y que si pena veia en tus ojos Hacia el payaso por verte reir
Tu, tu, tu, tu, precisamente, tu De mi vas murmurando Tu, precisamente, tu No puede ser verdad
Y aunque el sol y la luna me digan Que si que te oyeron de mi murmurar Yo dire que no, que es mentira Tu no puedes, tu no puedes Tu no debes hablar mal de mi
Johnny Blue First performance by: Lena Valaitis - 1981
Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, alle singen deine Lieder Blue Blue Blue Jhonny Blue, und die ganze Welt hört zu
Er wuchs auf ohne Freunde, denn keiner wollt'spielen mit einem der blind war wie er, und er saß meist zu Hause die Jungen dort draußen, die riefen bloß hinter ihm her
Sie riefen Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, welche Farbe hat die Sonne? Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue - Kinder können grausam sein
Auf der alten Gitarre, die ihm jemand schenkte da spielte er - sie war sein Freund, seine Lieder die klangen nach Hoffnung und Freude und manchmal als ob jemand weint
Und er sang Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue - und die Kinder hörten zu
Und bald spielte keiner so wie er seine Lieder, die gingen den Menschen ans Herz und er malte Farben aus Musik und vergaß all seinen Schmerz
Und bald kamen zehntausend zu seinen Konzerten denn er schenkte ihnen die Kraft an die Zukunft zu glauben im Dunkel des Lebens, er hatte es selber geschafft
Oh, Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, und sie kamen immer wieder Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, keiner spielt so schön wie du Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, alle singen deine Lieder Blue Blue Blue Johnny Blue, und die ganze Welt hört zu
Precious Love Composer(s): Bob Welch Performer(s): Bob Welch
You got those big dark eyes that flash at me, baby You got a head on your shoulders, you know what I mean You got legs so long like you could walk on air For you darlin', I'd go anywhere
(chorus) For your love, your precious love I'd do anything, yes I would I want your love, your precious love I've been too lonely too long
You got a kind of walk that's just so fine The way you fill those blue jeans baby, my my my Yes and when you smiled at me like you did just now All I want is just to get to you somehow
(repeat chorus)
Yeah those big dark eyes that flash at me It's just your precious love that I want, you to see
So Wrong Composer(s): Danny Dill - Carl Perkins - Mel Tillis Performer(s): Patsy Cline and multiple other artists
I've been so wrong, for so long Thought I could live without the love that you give I was wrong, oh, so wrong I've been so wrong, for so long I didn't know that I loved you so I was wrong
Well, I never knew I could want you darlin' Oh, so much Now that you're gone, I dream of you And your sweet touch I was so wrong, for so long But I've seen the light, darlin', I'll make it right I was wrong
Well, I never knew I could want you darlin' Oh, so much Now that you're gone, I dream of you And your sweet touch I was so wrong, for so long But I've seen the light, darlin', I'll make it right I was wrong
Way back in the hills when a boy I once wandered Way deep in the grave lies the gal that I love She was called from this earth a jewel for heaven More precious than diamonds more precious than gold
A jewel here on earth a jewel in heaven She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne May the angels have peace God bless her in heaven They've broken my heart and they've left me to roam
When a girl of sixteen we courted each other She promised someday to become my sweet wife I bought her the ring to wear on her finger But the angels they called her in heaven one night
This world has left its wealth its trials and troubles The earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold But they can't hold the soul of one precious jewel She's resting in peace in the heavenly fold
Precious And Few Composer(s): Walter Nims Performer(s): Climax
Precious and few are the moments we two can share Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair Precious and few are the moments we two can share
Baby, it's you on my mind, your love is so rare Being with you is a feeling I just can't compare And if I can't hold you in my arms, it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share
And if I can't find my way back home it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share
Precious and few are the moments we two can share Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share
The One That Got Away Composer(s): Jim Reeves - Buddy Killen Performer(s): Jim Reeves
Out with someone new almost ev'ry day People look at me, I can hear them say He's so lucky, he has everything going his way
I can't let them know that I really don't I'm not with the one that I really want And I'm still in love with the one that got away
The one that got away took all my love, not just a part The one that got away, got away with my heart
If we chance to meet on some lonely street And I pass you by without a word to say I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away If we chance to meet on some lonely street And I pass you by without a word to say I'm just thinkin' 'bout the one that got away
Prayers On Fire Composer(s): Nick Cave Performer(s): The Birthday Party
This place is hell to me With the devil in my bed And the devil in this bottle And the devil in my head I'll meet you in heaven again If you wear that dress again (I'll have one more drink, my friend) Where my heart is kept on ice And prayers burst into flames Prayers on fire
Pick Me Up On Your Way Down (French Version: J'attendrai Le Prochain Train - 1975) Composer(s): Harlan Howard First release by: Charlie Walker - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
You were mine for just a while Now you're puttin' on the style And you've never once looked back At your home across the track You're the gossip of the town But my heart can still be found Where you tossed it on the ground Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down When you're blue and all alone When their glamour starts to bore you Come on back where you belong You may be their pride and joy But they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown Pick me up on your way down
They have changed your attitude Made you haughty and so rude Your new friends can take the blame Underneath you're still the same When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you As you tumble to the ground Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down When you're blue and all alone When the glamour starts to bore you Come on back where you belong You may be their pride and joy But they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown Pick me up on your way down
Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition Composer(s): Frank Loesser Performer(s): Kay Kyser; and various other artists
Down went the gunner, a bullet was his fate Down went the gunner, then the gunner's mate Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look And manned the gun himself as he laid aside The Book, shouting...
"Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free"
Praise The Lord, and swing into position Can't afford to sit around a-wishin' Praise The Lord, we're all between perdition And the deep blue sea"
Yes, the sky pilot said it You've got to give him credit For a son-of-a-gun of a gunner was he Shouting...
"Praise The Lord, we're on a mighty mission All aboard, we're not a-goin' fishin' Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition And we'll all stay free"

So tell me, Babe, what's new? You glad to see me, too? Hey, my world is spinning, now I know I'm winning You stay home now, don't ever roam now And I'll say, "Babe, it's so good to see you!"
