Tal vez si me rajara la piel si dejase de ver, me pondría a llorar no sé qué me espera detrás pero en este rincón aún te puedo observar. Si tus ojos me dejaran de hablar si ese espejo al brillar no pudiese mirar... Esas ruedas que se oyen llegar son del coche que hoy ya me viene a buscar, y no me quiero ir, necesito esperar un milagro hoy aquí porque nada va a pasar... Se fue la gran oportunidad cara extraña que vio y que nunca volvió y el tiempo empieza a ir hacia atrás y parece que no va a volver a parar... Las pistolas llegan sin munición sabotaje cruel, quién ha podido ser... Mil gusanos en mi mente hay y aunque sigan ahí no me van a asustar y no quise mirar, pero al ir a dormir y mis ojos cerrar ahí volvían a estar, en un ángel confié y no me aseguré de que no se compró la corona en el corte inglés... No sé si sigo viva o qué pero no puedo ver, sólo oigo llover. Sentí un fracaso en mí y ya nada es igual, pero vuelve a empezar.

No se me da bien el blues No se me da bien el rock No se me da bien el pop No se me da bien el jazz No quiero saber nada más que ayer No quiero pensar, ni sentir ni ver

When I thought I was sleeping When I thought I was dreaming There you were! there you were I try to understand it, There's no reason to stay here Go away! go away And when I feel that I'm certainly dreaming Well, then I know that the morning is coming I can see your face laughing I can hear your mouth shouting Go away! go away There's no doubt, you're complaining And the words keep on saying Go away! go away I would like to go to London

Didn't know 02:34
Didn't know you were so fine Didn't know you were so great Didn't know you were so fine, so fine Show me your scar of war And I swear I didn't know you were so good Show me your smile once more And I swear I didn't know you were so cool... Beautiful eyelashes over those deep blue eyes Hard chords sounding in the air Never stop, keep on playing... Thank you, it's been a lonely time Thank you, it's been a real shock Look at me now and see Everything I want to tell you with my smile Look at the things you've done Yes I swear I didn't know you were so fine...

The river 03:15
The river takes me, the river calls me And lets me hear its heart And when I listen I want to stay there But I can't keep my breath anymore When the river calls me I gotta go with you, it says Yeah, the river tells me the secret of love Oh, river, don't let me cry before his eyes Oh, river, don't let me fall before it's time Sometimes I can't stand it, 'cause I think I'll never understand... When the river calls me I talk to you without you know When the river calls me My heart goes among my words... The river tells me, the river shows me And opens up my eyes And when this happens I know that somewhere A little angel falls from the sky... When the river calls me, I gotta go with you, it says Yeah, the river tells me How easy is to throw a stone

My friend Mary, she's invited us all My friend Mary, to have lunch at her home My friend Mary, take a look at her world My friend Mary, you can see her alone, alone, alone. She says she's got a lot of problems But I know they aren't so different as others She calls me almost everyday To tell me her existence is so, so dramatic... She says Dutty's got a better life But she knows now that won't be so nice She complains about heer sons And Denise she whishes she coud have one... I want to think of you one more time, one more time... She says she's got a lot of problems But I know they aren't so different as others She calls me almost every day To tell me her existence is so, so, so sad...

Give me the music, give me the lyrics I'll sing the sweetest song you've heard. Bring me the voices, bring me the rhythm The feelings will come out from us. The song is written and it will sound some day As long as everybody's ready to play. If you have no good voice But your feeling is true We'll always trust in you again And never worry if you sing out of tune You'll always have another chance. The song is sounding and it will never end As long as everybody's ready to play. Don't think of those days When you felt alone You thought that things could never change. Open your eyes now, see that you're lucky Having friends who care for you.

Happy loser 02:36
One, two, three, here I am I think I feel awake Four, five, six, levitate And you will find the way. Come on and struggle for that ugly doll You saw out there with all the toys Come on and try to understand everything She tells you, they are only words They are only words. Just two simple words that you won't forget All the people you can see All the sounds that you can hear All those eyes that look at you All those cats who purr and purr I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna leave. Let's just wait, I know the sun is Coming back again... And the water tastes so rank And the food it is so bad But I'm getting used to it And I feel that now I'm free Seven, eight, I could say I miss you, but I don't. Nine and ten, you were nice I hope you understand. And there're so many hand into the wall So many hands that I can't touch. I feel like I am in a movie and It is just the preview of a life. It's just the preview of a life. The silly movie will be called "A happy loser in New York"...

Mucha diferencia tiene que haber Para que nuestro ser nada tenga que ver Mucha diferencia no puede haber Para que el mismo sol nos dé luz a los dos. Dime lo que te cuenta tu corazón ¿Es realmente algo tan raro? Dime lo que te cuenta tu corazón ¿Es que es algo tan lejano? Y pienso en ti, sólo quiero oírte una vez más Y pienso en ti, y me pregunto Por qué me atraes cada vez más. Tienes el calor, y abrasas al soñar Tienes el valor, y tienes mucho más. Mucha diferencia tuvo que haber Para que algo tan vil te llevara de aquí Mucha diferencia no pudo haber Para que un mismo son nos guiase a los dos Dime qué te contaba tu corazón ¿Era realmente algo tan raro? Dime qué te contaba tu corazón ¿Es que era algo tan lejano? Y pienso en ti, sólo quiero oírte una vez más Y pienso en ti y me pregunto Por qué al final te fuiste sin más.

Everybody's going out, yeah Everybody's going out, yeah Everybody's taking me, yeah Everybody's going out, yeah You can tell me everything Yeah You can tell me everything, You know you got me

I saw you walking down the subway I saw you with the Rolling Stones I heard you singing Bob Dylan And tuning your guitar all alone I went to the art museum I saw the big Picasso there I stared at those magic paintings And then I saw you there with Dalí And I hear Nirvana sounds My head always dries the end And when two lovers woo that's I love you

Perhaps that party was alright Music and lights shining all night But nothing in my mind was really true 'cause something was missing and it wasn't you Forgetting you was very, very little hard 'cause there are things That really matter but not you The classes are boring, I can't concentrate When I think of you my thoughts are very far But I look at the people who's in the place And I really think you're not the only one Now get ready 'cause you're gonna know The things I've been thinking all this time No, it's not about you love It's about living my own life Like a clown you made me laugh Like a bird you sang your song But now the circus has closed down And the clouds have stopped your sounds Why do we talk If we know we have nothing in common? Let's say goodbye And we'll see what's coming up tomorrow
13.
Where's my mother? Where's my mother? I wanna talk to her Anywhere, any place, I need to talk to her, Any time, anyway, I wanna see her face On the phone, in the bus, I wanna talk to her In the sun, in the night, I need to see her face I don't know what's wrong I can't find the words Say goodbye now La, la, la, la, la, there're no words to say La, la, la, la, la, there's no need to wait

Inútil 02:07
Tengo algo Aquí dentro que bulle y quiero sacarlo Tengo algo Aquí dentro que bulle y quiere salir Es algo fuerte que me está matando Tengo algo Que me hace observar cosas que no existen Tengo algo Que no quiere sentir lo que mis ojos ven Es algo débil que no quiere irse A veces me hace sonreír Y a veces me empuja a llorar Y nunca deja que descanse a gusto. Tengo algo Que me gusta tener pero me está cansando Es algo Que me engaña y me dice lo que quiero oír Y me acompaña y luego me abandona. A veces le he visto reír Pero tampoco es tan feliz No es lo que esperaba pero no puedo echarle Una escalera en vertical Y dentro sueños que se van Es algo mudo que no sabe callarse Los besos llegan y se van Y quien los ve los va a olvidar Pero quien los siente los guarda para siempre.

El pelirrojo 02:19
Hay un pelirrojo que no dejo de mirar No atiendo a razones, voy a donde está. Te invito a un café, te invito a una coca O a algo de chocolate No quieres tomar nada, bueno, da igual, Pero no te marches. En la biblioteca no te paro de mirar Y es que con tus gafas aún me gustasmás. No puedo estudiar contigo delante No puedo concentrarme Voy a tomar el aire a la cafetería Ven a acompañarme. Tengo mucho sueño, la clase puede esperar Antes que aburrirme voy a dibujar. Te veo venir, te has cortado el pelo Vaya, qué sorpresa! Me miras, yo te miro, has roto mis esquemas Pero qué bien te sienta.
