Airbag "Crystal Lake" Un Sentido y profundo homenaje a Viernes 13

Grupo: Airbag
Canción: Crystal Lake
Disco: Voy a acabar con el invierno (2001)
Discográfica: Wild Punk Records
Estilo: punk rock de la costa del sol

No soportaba estar sin ti un solo momento

Y decidí seguirte hasta aquel campamento

No había playa, pero al menos tu si estabas

Y llegué un viernes a Crystal Lake.

Jugábamos y te reias en el lago

¿quién iba a suponer que un niño se había ahogado?

Y ha aparecido, y las va a pagar conmigo

Si lo se no hubiera venido...

La mala suerte siempre fue en martes y 13

Aquí es diferente y la han cambiado al viernes

Ya no hay remedio, nos quieren quitar de en medio

Y no podré escapar de Crystal Lake.

Los monitores dejaron a un crío ahogarse

Y tuvo que ser hoy cuando volvió a vengarse

No comprendimos lo que aquel loco nos dijo

si lo se no hubiera venido...

la mala suerte siempre fue en martes y 13

aquí es diferente y la han cambiado al viernes

Ya no hay remedio nos quieren quitar de en medio

Y no podré escapar de Crystal Lake.

En América la mala suerte

no es en martes sino en viernes 13

¿y yo que sabía?

Ojalá hoy fuera otro dia...

Strontium 90 "3 O´clock shot" y "Every little thing she does is magic"

Grupo: Strontium 90
Canción: 3 O´clock shot y Every little thing she does is magic
Disco: Police Academy (1977)
Discográfica: Ark 21
Estilo: New wave

En el año 1977, antes de formar The Police: Sting, Andy Summers y Steward Copeland formaron esta banda con Mike Howlett, tan sólo editaron un disco que se llamó, mira tu por donde, Police Academy. Acompaño a este prescindible comentario dos canciones, una de ellas después fue realizada por Police.

Everyone I know is lonely
My god's so far away
And my heart belongs to no one
So now sometimes i pray
Please take this space between us
And fill it up some way
I've been waiting for my brothers
Since fucking christmas day

There's a song that everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
Songs everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part

Nothing seems to matter
To no one anymore
They say my world is shattered
I just did it on the floor
It won't go no further
It is here i make my stand
If you say my life is precious
When you held it in your hand

There's a song that everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
Songs everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part

There's a song that everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part
Songs everyone's heard
Let me hear it, make me a part

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as
I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day
Ask her if she'll marry me in some old-fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
long before I reached the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

La Mode "Cita en Hawaii"

Grupo: La Mode
Canción: Cita en Hawaii
Disco: El Eterno Femenino
Discográfica: Nuevos Medios
Estilo: Pop

no he vuelto a verte,
desde aquella tarde,
que nos citamos en hawaii,
llovia a mares sobre la avenida,
pedimos un te con croissants,
tus manos frias tu rostro mojado,
sin hablar me decias adios
yo no sabia y te pregunte la razon,
no respondiste me hiciste pucheros,
y no te dejaste besar,
por no enfadarme mire aquellos cuadros,
que recordaban a gauguin,
seguias callada,
parecias buscar,
el futuro en la taza de te,
luego te fuiste y no se todavia el por que,
no he vuelto a verte,
desde aquella tarde,
que nos citamos en hawaii,
tu me querias,
yo te queria,
no he vuelto a quedar en hawaii,
no he vuelto a verte,
desde aquella tarde,
que nos citamos en hawaii,
tu me querias,
yo te queria,
no he vuelto a quedar en hawaii.

Fischer Z "Marliese"

Grupo: Fischer Z


Canción: Marliese
Disco: Red Skies over Paradise (1981)
Discográfica: EMI
Estilo: New Wave

I told them I take photos for this magazine.

They let me in to see you comb your hair.

I watched for signs as I came throught that door.

The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for.

It's no use hoping I'm a dream.

[Chorus:]

Oh Marliese.

The waiting almost brought me to my knees.

Oh Marliese.

You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace.

It's no use crying out 'cos they can't help you now.

You're forced to hear the words I have to say.

I saw your face when I was taken down.

You seemed so pleased, you're not so happy now.

It's your turn to be afraid.

[Chorus]

So where's the smooth composure of the movie star.

You must have played this many times before.

Do I see tears? Well surely that's not true.

Don't kid yourself, it's not worth hurting you.

Bur remember when you try to sleep.

[Chorus]

The James "Come Home"

Grupo: The James
Canción: Come Home
Disco: James (1991)
Discográfica: Fontana
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo

It's that time again when I lose my friends

Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure

This is a testing time when the choice is mine

Am I a fool for love or foolish with desire

You can throw him out you can spit on him

Call what he does a sin if it makes you feel better

And I can't believe you're all I'll ever need

And I need to feel that you're not holding me

And the way I feel just makes me want to scream

Come home, come home, come home

Come home, come home, come home

After thirty years I've become my fears

I've become the kind of man I always hated

I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart

Has flipped out of the pan into the fire

I am in love insane with a sense of shame

That I threw stones at the condemned and

Now I'm slated

And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need

And I need to feel that you're not holding me

And the way I feel just makes me want to scream

Come home, come home, come home

Come home, come home, come home

Come home, come home, come home

Adorable "Homeboy"

Grupo: Adorable
Canción: Homeboy
Disco: Against Perfection (1993)
Discográfica: SBK
Estilo: Indie Pop

Después de más de trescientas entradas todavía tengo oportunidad de poder exhibir pequeñas joyas como la que acompaño con este post. Se trata de Adorable, una banda de principios de los 90, formada en Coventry y con tan sólo dos discos publicados.

I'm tripping into the back of my mind

And your words like angels crash inside

And a word and a movement and a touch

And a word and a movement and it's all too much

It's all too much

I never understood what it meant to be

I never understood what it meant to be misunderstood

And even if I did, I don't think I'd care less

And even if I did, I don't think I'd care less

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

I want to drown beneath the waves

I want to dig myself a shallow grave

And hold you up for all to see

I want to cut you up, I want to watch you bleed, ever so slowly

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

I can't follow what I don't believe in

I can't follow what I don't believe in

And that's why there's nothing left of me

'Cause I don't believe in you

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

You're so beautiful

Doo-doo-doo-doo, you're my homeboy, you're my

homeboy

Doo-doo-doo-doo, you're my homeboy, you're my

homeboy

Beautiful

Oh god, you're so beautiful

ESCUCHA ESPECIALMENTE RECOMENDADA

Grupo: Red Guitars
Canción: Good Technology
Disco: Single Good Technology (1983)
Discográfica: Self Drive Records
Estilo: Indie Pop

We've got photographs of men on the moon,

We've got water that is good for us,

We've got coffee that's instantaneous,

We've got buildings that are very tall,

We've got cigarettes that are low in tar,

We've got policemen can tell us who we are,

We can reproduce a work of art,

We've got missiles can tear the world apart,

Good, good, good, good, good, good technology.

We've got trains that run underground,

Aeroplanes that fly very fast,

We've got music that is popular,

We've got machines that sound like orchestras,

We've got ability to transplant a heart,

We've got freezers full of body parts,

We've got computers that can find us friends,

We know roughly when the world will end,

Good, good, good, good, good, good technology.

We've got animals with transistors in,

We've got pills that can make you slim,

We've got factories turning frozen chickens out,

We've got ovens that cook in seconds flat,

We've got plastics that are indestructible,

We've got deodorants that make us smell of flowers,

We've got detergents to clean up the sea,

We've got sounds can turn you inside out!

(guitar solo)

Sometimes I wonder what it is all about?

There's lots of leisure time to sit and work it out.

There's a tv show I've got to see,

Good, good, good, good, good, good technology,

Good technology.

Flesh for Lulu "Sooner or later"

Grupo: Flesh for Lulu
Canción: Sooner or later
Disco: Long live the new Flesh (1987)
Discográfica: Capitol
Estilo: Post Punk

Banda británica de post punk, creada en 1982 y disuelta en 1991. Durante ese tiempo publicaron cinco discos con canciones tan buenas como la que adjunto en esta entrada. Al igual que les pasó a Lulu Kiss Me, The Alarm o Red Guitar nunca fueron conocidos por el gran público. En 2007 han publicado un disco llamado "Gigantic". Uno de tantos grupos que decepciona en su regreso que nunca debió producirse, si bien está justificado por la ola neo-siniestra o gótica que está marcando el final de esta década, recordando el rock gótico de The Chamaleons, The Lord of the New Church, The Cult, Gene Love Hezabel o esta banda.

Never wanted to see you sad
It's so easy to be bad
Sooner or later you'll let me down
Sooner or later you'll have to put me back down

If I'm able to compromise
All suspicion in your eyes
Sooner or later you'll let me down
Sooner or later you'll have to put me back down

Hey what's up? Oh the sky
Like an angel, flying high
Sooner or later you'll let me down
Sooner or later you'll have to put me back down

Hear the warning
Hear it loud and clear
Lights are flashing
Lets get out of here
Sooner or later you'll let me down
Sooner or later you'll have to put me back down

Always wanted to see you smile
Hopelessly happy
Like a child
Sooner or later you'll let me down
Sooner or later you'll have to put me back down

All I know is love exists
Love exists for longer than a kiss
Sooner or later you'll let me down
Sooner or later you'll have to put me back down
Sooner or later you'll let me down
Sooner or later you'll have to put me back down

Soul Asylum "Without a trace"

Grupo: Soul Asylum
Canción: Without a trace
Disco: Grave Dancer´s Union (1992) Sexto disco de su carrerra.
Discográfica: Columbia
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo

I fell in love with a hooker
She laughed in my face
So seriously I took her
I was a disgrace

I was out of line; I was out of place
Out of time to save face
See the open mouth of my suitcase
Sayin' leave this place

Leave without a trace
Leave without a trace
Leave without a trace

I tried to get a good job
With honest pay
I might as well join the mob
The benefits are okay

Standing in the sun with a popsicle
Everything is possible
With a lot of luck and a pretty face
And some time to waste

Leave without a trace
Leave without a trace
Leave without a trace

I tried to dance at a funeral
New Orleans style
I joined the Grave Dancer's Union
I had to file

Trying to do the right thing, play it straight
The right thing changes from state to state
Don't forget to take your mace
If you're out walking late

I liked to see your face
You left without a trace
You leave without a trace
