Sidonie - Mi Cancion De Domingo (2007)


From the album Costa Azul (2007)



Aterrados de felicidad
En un cuarto oscuro a mediodía
En la cama hay un rincón
Con círculos de luz perdida

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, esparces la rosa
Sobre la losa

Bajamos a tomar un té
En un bar del Paseo de Gracia
La gente mira con desdén
mi cigarro temblando de ansia

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, esparces la rosa
Sobre la losa

Tú estas en mi canción
cantando en domingo una vez más
Estás en mi canción cantando una vez más
Mi canción, mi canción, mi canción

Me despido del pobre portal
Creo que tu nombre es Elena
Y me quedo solo otra vez
En la santa tarde de las penas

Las horas que no volverán
Los días, los meses, los años
Son las rimas del enterrador
Son las rimas del enterrador

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, blanca y hermosa
Bajo las rosas

Tú estas en mi canción
cantando en domingo una vez más
Estás en mi canción cantando una vez más
Mi canción, mi canción, mi canción

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin' (1966)


From the album Boots in 1966



You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

LEADBREAK

You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And what he knows you ain't had time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

SPOKEN

Are you ready, boots?
Start walkin'

The Cars - You Might Think (1984)


From the album Heartbeat City in 1984



Oh well uh you might think Im crazy
To hang around with you
Or maybe you think Im lucky
To have somethin to do
But I think that youre wild
Inside me is some child

You might think Im foolish
Or maybe its untrue
(you might think Im crazy)
You might think Im crazy
(all I want is you)
But all I want is you

You might think its hysterical
But I know when youre weak
You think youre in the movies
And everythings so deep
But I think that youre wild
When you flash that fragile smile

You might think its foolish
What ya put me through
(you might think Im crazy)
You might think Im crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you

And it was hard so hard to take
Theres no escape without a scrape
But you kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going

Oh well uh you might think Im delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometimes
When youre curious
Ill be back around
Oh I think that youre wild
And so-o uniquely styled

You might think its foolish
This chancy rendezvous
(you might think Im crazy )
You might think Im crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you-a-oo
All I want is you
(all I want is you)
All I want is you

Prefab Sprout - Cars and Girls (1988)


From the album From Langley Park to Memphis in 1988



Brucie dreams life's a highway too many roads bypass my way
Or they never begin. Innocence coming to grief
At the hands of life - Stinkin' car thief, that's my concept of sin
Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ?
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.
Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul
We are deeply concerned, someone stops for directions,
Something responds deep in our engines, we have all been burned
Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ?
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.
Little boy got a hot rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new God
Well this is one race he won't win,
'Cos life's no cruise with a cool chick
Too many folks feelin' car sick, but it never pulls in.
Brucie's thoughts - Pretty streamers
- Guess this world needs its dreamers may they never wake up.
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.

Carole King - It Might As Well Rain Until September (1962)


From a single in 1962



What shall I write?
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?

The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Although it doesn't really matter much to me
For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away
It might as well rain until September

I don't need sunny skies for thing I have to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day
So It might as well rain until September

My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach
Yes everybody loves the summertime
But you know darling while your arms are out of reach
The summer isn't any friend of mine

It doesn't matter whether skies are grey or blue
It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you
I'm only living for the day you're home to stay
So It might as well rain until September
September, September, oh
It might as well rain until September

Prince and The Revolution - Purple Rain (1984)


From the album Purple Rain in 1984



I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
Its such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
Its time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u cant seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

If you know what Im singing about up here
Cmon raise your hand

Purple rain purple rain

I only want 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain

Suzanne vega - Luka (1987)


From the album Solitude Standing in 1987



My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am [X3]

Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me (1973)


From the album Something/Anything? in 1972



Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

Think of me...
Think of me...
Think of me

Jackie DeShannon - Put a Little Love in Your Heart (1968)


From the album Put a Little Love in Your Heart in 1969



Think of your fellow man
lend him a helping hand
put a little love in your heart.
You see it's getting late
oh please don't hesitate
put a little love in your heart.
And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me
you just wait and see

Another day goes by
and still the children cry
put a little love in your heart.
If you want the world to know
we won't let hatred grow
put a little love in your heart.
And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me
you just wait and see

Take a good look around and
if you're lookin' down
put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
kindness will be your guide
put a little love in your heart.
And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me
you just wait and see
put a little love in your heart....

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (1982)


From the album Too-Rye-Ay in 1982



Poor old johnny ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers used
To sing along, whod blame them
Youre grown (a grown up), so grown (so grown up), now I must say more than ever
(come on eileen)
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

[chorus]:
Come on eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At these moments, you mean everything
With you in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on eileen

Come on eileen !

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
Theyre so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
Remember
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
Eileen Ill hum this tune forever (x2)

Come on eileen oh I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, lets take off everything
That pretty red dress, oh eileen tell him yes
Ah come on lets, ah come on eileen
Come on eileen oh I swear (what he means)
At these moments you mean everything

Come on eileen too-loo rye-aye
Come on eileen too-loo rye-aye
Toora toora-too-loora

We are far too young and clever
And things wont ever change

Come on eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything to me

You mean everything

The Hollies - Look Through Any Window (1965)


From a single in 1965



Look through any window, yeah
What do you see?
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

Where do they go?
Moving on their way
Walking down the highways and the byways
Where do they go?
Moving on their way
Are people with their shy
ways and their sly ways

You can see the little children all around
You can see the little
ladies in their gowns

When you look through any window, yeah
Any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
Button down their heavy loads

Where do they go?
Moving on their way
A-driving down the highways and the byways
Where do they go?
Moving on their way
Are drivers with their shy
ways and their sly ways

You can see the little children all around
You can see the little
ladies in their gowns

When you look through any window, yeah
What do you see?
Smiling faces all around
Rushing through the busy town

Moving on their way...
Ooh...moving on their way...
Where do they go...?
Moving on their way...ooh...

Belle and Sebastian - Seeing Other People (1996)


From the album If You're Feeling Sinister in 1996



We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
A hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle
Then we should be ok, and we wont get into trouble
Cause were seeing other people
At least thats what we say we are doing

How are you feeling?
I dont think you can be dealing
With the situation very well
You take a lover for a dirty weekend, thats ok
But when its over
You are looking at the working week in the eyes of a gigolo

Youre kissing your elbow
Youre kissing your reflection
And you cant understand why all the other boys are going for the
New, tall, elegant rich kids
Ill admit it is a bitch, kid
But if they dont see the quality then it is apparent that
Youre going to have to change
Or youre going to have to go with girls
You might be better off
At least they know what theyre doing

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
A hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle
Then we should be ok, and we wont get into trouble
Cause were seeing other people
At least thats what we say we are doing

From the album Bonnie & Clyde in 1967



Vous avez lu l'histoire
De Jesse James
Comment il vécu
Comment il est mort
Ça vous a plus hein
Vous en d'mandez encore
Et bien
Ecoutez l'histoire
De Bonnie and Clyde

Alors voilà
Clyde a une petite amie
Elle est belle et son prénom
C'est Bonnie
A eux deux ils forment
Le gang Barrow
Leurs noms
Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Moi lorsque j'ai connu Clyde
Autrefois
C'était un gars loyal
Honnête et droit
Il faut croire
Que c'est la société
Qui m'a définitivement abîmé

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Qu'est-c' qu'on a pas écrit
Sur elle et moi
On prétend que nous tuons
De sang-froid
C'est pas drôl'
Mais on est bien obligé
De fair' tair'
Celui qui se met à gueuler

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Chaqu'fois qu'un polic'man
Se fait buter
Qu'un garage ou qu'un' banque
Se fait braquer
Pour la polic'
Ça ne fait d'myster
C'est signé Clyde Barrow
Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Maint'nant chaqu'fois
Qu'on essaie d'se ranger
De s'installer tranquill's
Dans un meublé
Dans les trois jours
Voilà le tac tac tac
Des mitaillett's
Qui revienn't à l'attaqu'

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Un de ces quatr'
Nous tomberons ensemble
Moi j'm'n fous
C'est pour Bonnie que je tremble
Quelle importanc'
Qu'ils me fassent la peau
Moi Bonnie
Je tremble pour Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

D'tout'facon
Ils n'pouvaient plus s'en sortir
La seule solution
C'était mourir
Mais plus d'un les a suivis
En enfer
Quand sont morts
Barrow et Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

From the album Into Your Ears in 1971



Oooh, love is.

It's what you've got, it's what you've got,
It's what you've got, it's what you've got,
True love is, true love is.

And it don't matter what you do,
And it don't matter what you say,
But hold on my friend, hold on my friend,
And it don't matter if you're right,
And it don't matter if you're wrong,
But hold on my friend, hold on my friend,
And even though the world may laugh at you.

It's what you've got, it's what you've got,
It's what you've got, it's what you've got,
True love is, true love is.

Oh, listen very carefully,
And I'm sure that you'll agree,
To hold on my friend, hold on my friend,
And in your heart you know it's true,
That what you want belongs to you,
So hold on my friend, hold on my friend,
And even though the world may laugh at you.

It's what you've got, it's what you've got,
It's what you've got, it's what you've got,
True love is, true love is.

True love is.

The Left Banke - I've Got Something On My Mind (1967)



From the album Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina in 1967



I've got something on my mind
It's no lie, I'm telling you why

I've got something on my mind
It's no lie, I'm telling you why

Up to now I've been afraid to say that
You're the cause of all my pain
If you keep this up, my friend,
I think I'll go insane

I've got something on my mind
It's no lie, I'm telling you why

You've been treating me so bad
Since the day that we met
But now I am oh so glad
And my girl you can bet

I will say what's on my mind
And this time there'll be no lie

I've got something on my mind
It's no lie, I'm telling you why

You've been treating me so bad
Since the day that we met
But now I am oh so glad
And my girl you can bet

I will say what's on my mind
And this time there'll be no lie

I've got something on my mind
It's no lie, I'm telling you why
