136. Hierro y vino



The Cardigans
My Favourite Game

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up, you spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I tried, I tried, (but you're still the same) I tried
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

135. Ojalá pudiera irme a Katmandú de verdad



Grant Lee Buffalo
Mockingbirds

Devastation at last finally we meet
After all of these years out here on the street
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
And I have been overthrown
Overthrown

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

Devastation my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself I nearly forgot
Now I am overwrought
I'm overwrought

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

One day this ground will break
And open up for me I hope it will I hope it will

Salutations at last down on my knees
I heard the bugle this morn blast reveille
Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm
All my sails were ablaze I was chained to the helm
And now I am overwhelmed
I'm overwhelmed

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

134. Mover el culo es una opción



The Fiery Furnaces
Tropical Iceland

Goat's head in the deli case
Oh sweet angel-angel-bearded face
Paper maché parade on at night
That's what you do with no sunlight
In the tropical tropical
Tropical ice-land
Bleak church on a cold tundra
Mountain-glacier-glacier-glacier-stream
Black stone beach and a black death bottle
Is all me and my baby'll need
In the tropical, tropical
Tropical ice-land
Take intermission at the movies
Freeze outside for one quick smoke
Take a klondike bar from the pop machine
Hey it's ice cream, no not coke
In the tropical tropical
Tropical ice-land
Let's meet in Kristiana next summer
Let's get out before we melt away
I've seen enough stray ponies and puffins
To get me through till the end of May
In the tropical tropical
Tropical ice-land

133. Prefiero mis sueños surrealistas a estos que parecen tan reales



Deus
Instant street

You're probably right
Since from your side
That I've been lucky
But I've been the meaning the crack
All the week
Yes i've been involved
It never resolved
to anything shoking
But on every single impulse o
On every other move
I react
'Cos in any old creek
With changing technic
You'll see me play it
And after any old motherfucking blow
i'll be back

We turned away from Insant stuff
Our cracking codes we're breaking up
We words were sucked on and made them clean
And after louness say it
And after more or let be now
Our codes are growned them to something mean

You're probably right
As for tonight
You're making me nervous

132. Entre la vida y la muerte se debate mi don



Sr. Chinarro
Ángela

¿Te sientes punki con tus
Plumas Falcon Crest?
Te compro los domingos
Tu periódico en inglés
Miras de reojo
Con tu técnica infalible
Y me dejas porque sí
Con cara de primera vez.

Y si en El Arenal despiertas,
Yo te doy mis horas muertas.
Llevas dentro tantos días de cuaresma...
Y si en El Arenal te acuestas,
Dejaré la puerta abierta.
Fuera los botones,
Esto no es ningún hotel.

Y la flor de la corona
Para el reino de la cama
Y el domingo pasa
Con el 2% de interés
Y si llega el lunes
Como si llegara el jueves.
Y si llega el jueves,
Calle, Feria, ¿qué vendrá después?

Y si en El Arenal despiertas,
Pasarán las horas muertas.
Llevas dentro tantos días de cuaresma...
Y si en El Arenal te acuestas,
Dejaré la puerta abierta
Fuera los botones,
Esto no es ningún hotel.

131. POP con mayúsculas



Hefner
The Sad Witch

You wouldn’t believe in my new belle she flits
and weaves a curious spell,
And under my skin there’s a place where she resides.
Finding a release in prayers
and psalms I will obey her articulate commands,
She is just a coquette and
how I wish I could forget.
Breathing new life in to the sad witch
and she promised me three wishes
and all I wish is she should remain here.
A poisonous saint with a brittle,
crippled frame and she fooled me with her motherly gestures,
my only guess is she’s misguided.
The sins, the sins the heavenly limbs that greet below the red, red lights,
hold no sway with me now she’s my intended.
The jewels around her neck retain a curious sheen,
god is in my heart and tearing at the seams,
Her atheist tracts are certainly persuading.
(and I don’t know, and I don’t want to know,
if she floats or drowns, if she floats or drowns.)

130. Estoy cansado de pensar



U2
Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace


It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away


You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you


It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
don't let it go away
beutiful day

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me love, I know I’m not a hopeless case


See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
A beautiful day


Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
You don’t need it now
It was a beautiful day

129. Nadie te da las respuestas



Band of Horses
Funeral

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For'e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

128. No se puede tener todo



The Cure
Plainsong

"i think it's dark and it looks like rain"
you said
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world"
you said
"and it's so cold
it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smiled
for a second

"i think i'm old and i'm feeling pain"
you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the world"
you said
"and it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smiled
for a second

sometimes you make me feel
like i'm living at the edge of the world
like i'm living at the edge of the world
"it's just the way i smile"
you said

127. Soy un ángel, cuidaré de ti



Massive Attack
Angel

You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love

Her eyes
She's on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight

I love you, love you, love you ...

You are my angel
Come from way above

I love you, love you, love you ...

126. El recorrido



Björk
I Miss You

i miss you
but i haven't met you yet
so special
but it hasn't happened yet
you are gorgeous
but i haven't met you yet
i remember
but it hasn't happened yet

and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet you

i was peaking
but it hasn't happened yet
i haven't been given
my best souvenir
i miss you
but i haven't met you yet
i know your habits
but wouldn't recognize you yet

and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet you

i'm so impatient
i can't stand the wait
when will i get my cuddle?
who are you?

i know by now that you'll arrive
by the time i stop waiting

i miss you

125. 3 eran las Mellizas y las brujas de Eastwick



Kings Of Convenience
Toxic Girl

In the sky the birds are pulling rain,
in your life a curse has got a name,
makes you lie awake all through the night
that's why.
She's intoxicated by herself,
everyday she's seen with someone else,
and every night she kisses someone new
never you.
You're waiting in the shadows for a chance,
'cause you believe at heart, that if you can,
show to her what love is all about,
she'll change.
She'll talk to you with no one else around,
but only if you're able to entertain her,
the moment conversation stops she's gone,
again.

124. Soy un extremista de mucho cuidao, no lo puedo evitar



The Gossip
Standing In The Way Of Control

Your back's against the wall
There's no one home to call
You're forgetting who you are
You can't stop crying
It's part not giving in
Part trusting your friends
You do it all again and I'm not lying

Oh oh oh
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control

I'm doing this for you
Because it's easier to lose
And it's hard to face the truth
When you think you're dying
It's part not giving in
Part trusting your friends
You do it all again but you don't stop trying

Oh oh oh
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control

Standing in the way of control
We live our lives
Because of standing in the way of control
We will live our lives
Because of standing in the way of control
We live our lives
Because of standing in the way of control
We will live our lives, lives, lives, lives on

Your back's against the wall
There's no one home to call
You're forgetting who you are
You can't stop crying
It's part not giving in
Part trusting your friends
You do it all again, you don't stop trying

Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control

Because of standing in the way of control
Because of standing in the way of control
We will live our lives, lives, lives, lives on

123. Calor, cerveza, charlas trascendentales, una araña en el techo y el sexo oral



The Knife
We Share Our Mother's Health

We came down from the north
Blue hands and a torch
Red wine and food for free
A possibility
We share our mothers' health
It is what we've been dealt
What's in it for me?
Fine
Then I'll agree

Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
The end is always near
x2

Say you like it
Say you need it
When you don't
Looking better
Shining brighter
Than you do

122. No smile



Richard Hawley
Coles Corner

Hold back the night from us,
Cherish the light for us,
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn.

Cold city lights glowing,
The traffic of life is flowing,
Out over the rivers and on into dark.

I'm going down town where there's music,
I'm going where voices fill the air,
Maybe there's someone waiting for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair

I'm going down town where there's people
The loneliness hangs in the air.
With no-one there real waiting for me,
No smile, no flower nowhere.

Cold city..................etc

Hold back ................etc

Hold back the night
