Busca La Gente De Mañana
Busca La Gente De Mañana
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Nada es fácil y tampoco la vida
son tan duras las horas, tan largas las esperas
que andas así, bailando
como un pez en la mano o un papel en el fuego
Que este tiempo sólo y sólo de nieblas
nunca consiga paralizar tus pasos
y andes así encerrado
como el mar en las conchas o el grito en las
campanas
Busca la gente de mañana
la que tiene en sus manos las olas de la vida

Life Is A Minestrone
Life Is A Minestrone
Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Kevin Godley - Lol Creme
Performer(s): 10cc
I'm dancing on the White House lawn
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn
Hanging round
The gardens of Babylon
Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up
She gets more fan mail than the Pope
She takes the mickey out of all my phobias
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia
Life is a minestrone
Served up with Parmesan cheese
Death is a cold Lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa
Had an eyeful of the tower in France
I'm hanging round
The gardens of Madison
And the seat of learning
And the flush of success
Relieves a constipated mind
I'm like a gourmet
In a skid row diner
A fitting menu for a dilettante
Life is a minestrone
Served up with Parmesan cheese
Death is a cold Lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
Love is a fire of flaming brandy
Upon a crepe suzette
Let's get this romance cooking, honey
But let us not forget
Life is a minestrone
Served up with Parmesan cheese
Death is a cold Lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze

Wenn Ich Je Deine Liebe Verlier'
Wenn Ich Je Deine Liebe Verlier'
Composer(s): Hanne Haller; Bernd Meinunger
Performer(s): Rex Gildo
Manchmal schien das Ende ganz nah
und wir haben's doch geschafft
Irgendwo war immer ein Weg
um weiter zu geh'n
Wir zwei teilten Sorgen und Streit
bis zur Grenze uns'rer Kraft
Manchmal
glaub ich
konntest du mich nicht mehr versteh'n
Meistens hast du lächelnd verzieh'n
und nur einmal gingst du fort
Ich weiß
was es heißt
ohne dich zu sein
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
dann bleibt nur noch die Trauer in mir
und der Rest geht mit dir
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
mach' ich weiter und leb' wie bisher
doch ich weiß nicht wofür
Glaub' mir
ich leb'
weil es dich gibt
Ich könnt allein nicht halb so glücklich sein
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
dann stirbt auch mein Vertrauen zu dir
das darf niemals gescheh'n
Liebe
das ist Schatten und Licht
Beides haben wir gehabt
und die Spur der Jahre mit dir lebt tief in mir
Denn was ich dir sagte
das hab' ich noch keiner sonst gesgat
und bei keiner hatt' ich je Angst
sie zu verlier'n
Es wird nicht immer leicht für uns sein
doch zusammen sind wir stark
Es liegt nur an uns
was die Zukunft bringt
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
...
Glaub' mir
ich leb'
weil es dich gibt ...
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
...
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
...
ub' mir
ich leb'
weil es dich gibt ...
Du
wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

Life Is A Highway
Life Is A Highway
Composer(s): Tom Cochrane
First release by: Tom Cochrane - 1991
Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened Door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
There's not much left today
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long
Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From mozambique to those memphis nights
The khyber pass to vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll bee there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Bus Stop
Bus Stop
French Title: Arrêt D'autobus
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Originally performed by: The Hollies
Covered by various other artists
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same
That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue
Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Composer(s): Rick Springfield

I was lost on a winding road
I thought that life had nothing left to give
Then you came and showed me that just to live
Was the greatest gift of all
And you showed me
Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
How could I have been so blind?
Just to think that we were living to die
Then you came along and I was no longer alone
And you lead me to the light
And you showed me
Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate

Bus Rider
Bus Rider
Composer(s): Kurt Winter
Performer(s): The Guess Who
Get up in the morning, get on the bus
Get up in the morning like the rest of us
Places to go, important people to meet
Better not get up or you might lose your seat
(Bus rider)
Leave the house at six o'clock to be on time
Leave the wife and kids at home to make a dime
Grab your lunch pail, check for mail in your slot
You won't get your cheque if you don't punch the clock
(Bus rider)
(Bus rider)
Grab the evening paper and sit down in your chair
Grab yourself a toupee 'cause you're losin' your hair
Doesn't matter what you do, you've nothin' to lose
I'm so awful goddamn glad I'm not in your shoes
(Bus rider)
(Bus rider) You know you'll ride it every single mornin' today
(Bus rider) Ride, ride, little man
(Bus rider) I don't wanna ride, no I don't wanna ride
(Bus rider) Get up in the morning, get on the bus
(Bus rider) Oh, little man ridin' upside down, yeah
(Bus rider) Mmm, no I don't wanna ride

Life In The Fast Lane
Life In The Fast Lane
Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Glenn Frey - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1976
He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless said he was crude
They had one thing in common: they were good in bed
She'd say, "Faster, faster" "The lights are turning red"
Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Eager for action and hot for the game
The comming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people; They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties; They paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
Out every evenin' until it was light
He was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight about it.
Life in the fast lane surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane everything all the time
Life in the fast lane
Blowin' and burnin' blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign; Took a turn for the worst
She said, "Listen, baby
You can hear the engine ring
"We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a god-damn thing"
He said, "Call the doctor
I think I'm gonna crash"
"The doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash"
They were rushing down that freeway; Messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
Composer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie
Performer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie; Indigo Girls
Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman
Now, he don't know much about the issue
so he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the
Senator out in Indian country
A darling of the energy companies who are
ripping off what’s left of the reservations
Huh
I learned a safety rule
I don’t know who to thank
Don't stand between the reservation and the corporate bank
They send in federal tanks
It isn’t nice but it’s reality
Chorus:
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Huh
They got these energy companies that want the land
and they’ve got churches by the dozen who want to guide our hands
and sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed
Get rich... get rich quick
Chorus
We got the federal marshals
We got the covert spies
We got the liars by the fire
We got the FBIs
They lie in court and get nailed
and still Peltier goes off to jail
Chorus
My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she’d died of exposure
Loo loo loo loo loo
Chorus
We had the Goldrush Wars
Aw, didn’t we learn to crawl and still our history gets written in a liar’s scrawl
They tell ‘ya “Honey, you can still be an Indian d-d-down at the ‘Y’ on Saturday nights”
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Huh!

Life In The Bloodstream
Life In The Bloodstream
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): The Guess Who
You don't believe that this whole universe
Could be inside your little sister's purse
You don't believe you're just a living glob
Like Lucy, Freddy, Ricky, Frank and Bob
We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee
Ain't it hard when you discover
Your energy has to leave you for another
Don't it make you wanna lay down and cry
When they tell you it's time you have to die
We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee
We're life in the bloodstream, baby
That's the natural progression
We're life in the bloodstream
I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

Life In London
Life In London
Composer(s): Pat Travers
Performer(s): Pat Travers
Life in London is bittersweet
Spray can slogans along the street
Some kind of revolution in the town
Razor blades and safety pins make you look like a clown
What's goin' down
Is just the same old sound
You know that energy
Has always been my drug for me
And I came across a lot of water
Just to see if it could be
The place to go, the life for me
I changed my dollars into pounds
And now that drink is gonna cost me 50p.
But the District Line just doesn't seem
To be going as far as I'd like to go today
And I've met a lot of great people
I guess that's one thing that will never change
People are people wherever you go
Now you wanna know why, it's cuz I'm telling you so
But I'd like to see, some peace and harmony
Well, everybody thinks differently
But that shouldn't mean a thing
Shouldn't mean a thing
Pack up my suitcase, I gotta go
Back to a land that I think I know
Bring some things with me
Leave something behind
Oh, Life in London's at the back of my mind
But the District Line just doesn't seem
To be going as far as I'd like to go today

Bury Me Standing
Bury Me Standing
Composer(s): Gerrit Graham; Bob Weir
Performer(s): Bob Weir & RatDog
Once again the crossroads
Ain't no moon shinin' through the trees
Goddess lost my number, babe
Left me begging, baby please
Bury me standing
I've been too long on my knees
Angel and the devil, babe
They be walking side by side
Hammer on each other, babe
Never one be satisfied
Bury me standing
Just the last place left to hide
Nothing you can figure, babe
Nothing you can fix
Ain't much of nothing, babe
Just a couple tricks
Ooh - now I know you know that song
Bury me standing
I've been crawling way too long
Got a fist full of trouble, babe
And one more will get you three
Whole lot of shakin' peaches, babe
Poison peaches, trouble tree
If I change my way of living
Well it would mean so much to me
Blue smoke in the bar room
Tattooed muscle, beer for beer
Brown bottles and whiskey, babe
Got a pay phone to my ear
Woman made me love her
Now some dude tells me she ain't here
Give me whisky for whisky
Give me blow for blow
Give me whole lot of nothing baby
But to go down slow
Give me fire for fire
Give me ice for ice
Give me something to live for baby
Now I'm asking nice
Ooh - Goddamn eternal tease
Bury me standing
I been too long on my knees
Bury me at the crossroads
Lay me down and let me be
Once again the crossroads
And there ain't no moon shinin' through the trees
Goddess tossed my number, babe
Left me begging, baby please
Bury me standing
I been a lifetime on my knees
Bury me at the crossroads
Lay me down and let me be
Let me be
Lay me down and let me be
Let me be
Let me be
Lay me down and let me be
Let me be
Lay me down and let me be

Composer(s): Randy California
Performer(s): Spirit
Oh hey Kiowa, I know your name
Catch me a glancing with one of your eye
So much we are chancing if we said goodbye, Ohh
Softly say you'll be my bride and

Say you'll always be here by my side
With the hopes all constantly ohh

Because life has just begun
Life has just begun, life has just begun
Because life has just begun
Hey Kiowa, I know your name

Walked in the dream and we knew it was

Because life has just begun
Life has just begun, life has just begun
life has just begun, life has just begun
Because life has just begun
Because life has just begun

Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It?
Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It?
Composer(s): Carson Robison
Performer(s): Carson Robison
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
The hands on the clock go round and roumd
I just wake up and it's time to lay down
Life gets tee-jus, don't it?
My shoe's untied, but shucks, I don't care
Cuz I reckon I ain't a-goin' nowhere
I'd brush my teeth and comb my hair
Just too much wasted effort
The water in the well gets lower and lower
Ain't had a bath in a month or more
I've heard it said and I'm sure it's true
That too much bathin'll weaken you
Danged ol' mule, he must be sick
I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick
He hunched his back, but he wouldn't kick
Something cock-eyed somewhere
Hound dog's howlin' so forlorn
Laziest dawg that ever was born
He's howlin' 'cause he's sittin' on a thorn
Just too tired to move over
Well, the cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay
And my well dried up last Saturday
My troubles keep pilin' up day by day
And now I'm gettin' dandruff
Roof's a-leakin' and the chimney leans
An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans
Now I've eat the last of the pork an' beans
Just can't depend on nuthin'
Mouse is gnawin' at the pantry door
He's been at it now for a month or more
When he gets through he'll sure be sore
'Cause there ain't a dang thing in there
Well, it's debts and taxes and pains and woes
Aches and miseries and that's how it goes
And now I'm getting a cold in my nose
Life gets tasteless, don't it?
