So good at doing

What you don't do

Just trying to protect yourself

And other fools like you

So well practised

In your deceit

Behind the high walls of stupidity

Your endless conceit

Behind the locked door

The sleeping dog you beat

I hope I see the day

She satisfies her teeth

Give back to the native

Their treaty land

What you preach you preach for others

Why don't you practice that firsthand

I just don't understand

This world of mine

I must be out of touch

Or out of my mind

And will the profits of destruction

Forever make your eyes blind

Do you bow to the corporations

'Cause they pay their bills on time

God bless Elijah

With the feather in his hand

Stop stealing the Indian land

Stop stealing the Indian land

Stop stealing the Indian land

The Clash "Should stay or I should I go"

Esta claro que hoy es San Sebastian y quien no sabe ese dato demuestra muy poca cultura. Yo, que soy un inculto, no tenía ni idea de esa dato pero, siendo quien es, un gran amigo e insigne empresario del mundo de la publicidad, sólo podía poner esta canción, buena y cojonuda y de gente ya criticada en su momento. Si estás a tiempo comprate unos levis.

You can't ignore or hide away

Can't escape from the things that line our way

Take it, leave it, or break it

Anyway, you can't get back to yesterday

All I want, all I want to do

You better listen from now on

Stop what's going on, stop what's going wrong

You better listen from now on

Confidence, coincidence, call it a sin

It's just like people say

Tomorrow's here so open up you're eyes

Never hesitate

It makes me want to give you everything

Pick you up and take you home again

Hold you tight and think that now is then

All I want to do

All I want to do

Is make you listen from now on

Cardboard men are strong, but paper can be torn

Oh, you better listen from now on

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun

What a beautiful dream

That could flash on the screen

In a blink of an eye and be gone from me

Soft and sweet

Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die

And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea

But for now we are young

Let us lay in the sun

And count every beautiful thing we can see

Love to be

In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

Anna's ghost all around

Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me

Soft and sweet

How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you

How I would push my fingers through

Your mouth to make those muscles move

That made your voice so smooth and sweet

And now we keep where we don't know

All secrets sleep in winter clothes

With one you loved so long ago

Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun

And when we meet on a cloud

I'll be laughing out loud

I'll be laughing with everyone I see

Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

The Jayhawks "Bad Time"

Disco: Tomorow the green grass (1995)

Estilo: Country Rock Alternativo

Esta es una de las canciones más conocidas de esta banda de Minneapolis, formada en 1985, y que este año publicará un nuevo disco de estudio.

I'm in love with the girl I'm talking about

I'm in love with a girl I can't live without

I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time

To be in love

To be in love

Well, let her be somebody else's queen

I don't want to hear about it

There's too many others who know what I mean

And that's why I've got to live without

Because I'm in love with a girl I'm talking about

I'm in love with a girl I can't live without

I'm in love but feels like I'm living it out

I'm in love but I must've picked

A bad time to be in love

Bad time to be in love

Bad time to be in love

All the stories come back to me

From my friends and the people I don't want to see

Well all the stories they just couldn't be true

At least until I hear 'em from you

Montana "Towtruck"

Grupo/Interprete: Montana

Canción: Towtruck

Disco: Bubblegum love

Estilo: Power pop, indie pop.

Esta mañana cuando he arrancado el coche ha aparecido esta canción que me apetece compartir con todos aquellos que tienen el evidente buen gusto de ver este blog.

Say you

Say me

If he drives you’ll need a tow-truck baby

He’s outta home for the first time maybe

What is her name?

I hear it sounds like a church spire

Is she the same as me?

Talk loud

Say it like you mean it

Cos you and I know it’s never gonna work out

Cos of the girls that you did when we were going out

Shirts smell clean on you

Oh but she’s wearing the pants now

But she can wait for another time

Cabin fever

Peace offering pays me off well

Do you know who I am?

I still love you

But it could never be like that

And I will always be your friend.

Treble Charger "How she died"

Grupo/Interprete: Treble Charger
Canción: How she died
Disco: Maybe it´s me (1997)
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo

Canción de esta veterana banda canadiense que se encuentra en su tercer disco.

You got the best of me

It didn't take so long

The things you put me through

Seem to be so wrong

You did not lie

It's far beyong you

You've said you tried

You cannot prove it

I close my eyes

I don't wanna find out how she died

Foolish pride

You can't expect to turn away tonight

You've seen the last of me

Don't have to take my hand

You shouldn't try so hard

So hard to understand

I've seen the end

Just waiting for me

No time to spend

To doubt a moment

I can't stand to agonize

On what I've lied, apologize

It's far beyond your sense of play

It's anywhere and everywhere

Aztec Camera "Pillar to post"

ESCUCHA ESPECIALMENTE RECOMENDADA

Grupo/Interprete: Aztec Camera
Canción: Pillar to post
Disco: High land, hard rain (1983)
Estilo: Indie Pop,

Pedazo de canción que se encuetra en el primer disco de esta banda escocesa creada en 1980 y que a día de hoy siguen en activo. Hay que empezar este año con optimismo y todo eso.

So you appear and say how I've grown

and fill me up with faces I've known.

In this light they're far from divine

I'll save them up and spend them when I have time.

The salted taste of all your tears and woes

Sent me in haste my melancholy rose

Those tasteless lips were closed

You watched me come, you'll see me go.

Once I was happy in happy extremes

Packing my bags for the path of the free

From pillar to post I am driven it seems

These bitter tokens are worthless to me

Just like June the curtains are closed

The ghost of shame he sits here and sighs

I'll love the flames like I've loved the cold

I'll learn to love the life of the "could I, could I, could I"

So I don't cross my fingers any more

You looked for rags and found them at your door

How could you ask for more

Than everything you've heard before?

Once I was happy in happy extremes

Packing my bags for the path of the free

From pillar to post I am driven it seems

These bitter tokens are worthless to me
