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

Suede "Trash"

Grupo: Suede
Canción: Trash
Disco: Coming Up
Estilo: Jangle pop, Indie pop

Maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear,

The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,

Maybe it's our kookiness,

Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns,

Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,

Maybe it's our looseness,

But we're trash, you and me,

We're the litter on the breeze,

We're the lovers on the streets,

Just trash, me and you,

It's in everything we do,

It's in everything we do...

Maybe, maybe it's the things we say,

The words we've heard and the music we play,

Maybe it's our cheapness,

Or maybe, maybe it's the times we've had,

The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,

Maybe it's our sweetness,

But we're trash, you and me,

We're the litter on the breeze,

We're the lovers on the street,

Just trash, me and you,

It's in everything we do,

It's in everything we do...

Teenage Fanclub "Don´t look back" y version de Barely Pink

ESCUCHA ESPECIALMENTE RECOMENDADA

Grupo: Teenage Fanclub
Canción: Don´t look back
Disco: Grand Prix (1995)
Discográfica: Geffen
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo, indie pop, Jangle Pop, Power Pop

Casi todo esta dicho acerca de esta banda escocesa (sin duda una de mis favoritas) Esta cancion se encuentra en su cuarto disco, esta compuesta por Gerard Love y es una autentica maravilla.

If I could find the words to say

The sun shines in your eyes

So brighten up my city sky

Break out the news, it's back again

The voice that tried to sing

She don't hang on

And hope's never going to teach me

Wake up the story's over

Climb aboard I'm going nowhere

And understand if I must say

I'd give both these wings away

I'd steal a car to drive you home

I don't look back on an empty feeling

Repaint the Blues, my saving grace

Is lost without a trace

The morning sun's a fire in space

She lives in your life everyday

Stretching time to stay

Got my mind set something else so it's hard to see

I don't need a guiding light to lead me in the dark

And understand if I must say

I'd give both these wings away

I'd steal a car to drive you home

I don't look back on an empty feeling

(Don't look back) on an empty feeling

(Don't look back) on an empty feeling

(Don't look back) on an empty feeling

(Don't look back) on an empty feeling

Your sadness don't lie

Your feelings can't hide

You always know why

But your reasons are sly

You never deny

What you feel inside

I

I Disappear when you're not here

In my life

I can't slip away when I see your face

I lose my confusion

Your Love Is The Place Where I Come From

When I'm on my own I'm lost in space

My freedoms a delusion

Your Love Is The Place Where I Come From

My sadness don't lie

My feelings can't hide

I Just can't deny

What I feel inside

ç

The summer was out of sight

We couldn't sleep at night

Shadows were closing in

Back in the dark again

Basement we didn't own

Cut off the telephone

Ceiling was falling down

Winter was underground

There are worlds

We can find

A hidden place

Is in our mind

Place where the water falls

Nobody ever calls

Sky is forever clear

Road never made it here

Forests are deep and green

Like nothing we've ever seen

Heavens revolving sin

Seasons change everything

There are worlds

We can find

A hidden place

Is in our mind

There are worlds

We can find

A hidden place

Is in our mind

There are worlds

We can find

A hidden place

Is in our mind
