So far away - Carole King

So far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know

You're just time away

Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again could only do me good

How I wish I could

But you're so far away

One more song about movin' along the highway

Can't say much of anything that's new

If I could only work this life out my way

I'd rather spend it bein' close to you

But, you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know

You're so far away

Yeah, you're so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothing else to do but close my mind

I sure hope the road don't come to own me

There's so many dreams I've yet to find

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn't help to know

You're so far away

Yeah, you're so far away

Hey, you're so far away

Home Again - Carole King

Sometimes I wonder if I'm

Ever gonna make it home again

It's so far and out of sight

I really need someone to talk to

And nobody else

Knows how to comfort me tonight

Snow is cold, rain is wet

Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy 'til I see

You alone again

'Til I'm home again and feelin' right

Snow is cold, rain is wet

Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy 'til I see

You alone again

'Til I'm home again and feelin' right

'Til I'm home again and feelin' right

I wanna be home again and feelin' right

Almost lover - A fine frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind

Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me

Images

And when you left, you kissed my lips

You told me you would never, never forget

These images

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot drive the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out

Of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do


Birdy - Skinny love

Come on skinny love just last the year

Pour a little salt we were never here

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

In the morning I'll be with you

But it will be a different "kind"

I'll be holding all the tickets

And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here

Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

Now all your love is wasted?

Then who the hell was I?

Now I'm breaking at the britches

And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?

Who will fight?

Who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Brilliant Disguise - Bruce Springsteen

I hold you in my arms

As the band plays

What are those words whispered baby

Just as you turn away

I saw you last night

Out on the edge of town

I want to read your mind

To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found

So tell me what I see

When I look in your eyes

Is that you baby

Or just a brilliant disguise

I heard somebody call your name

From underneath our willow

I saw something tucked in shame

Underneath your pillow

Well I've tried so hard baby

But I just can't see

What a woman like you

Is doing with me

So tell me who I see

When I look in your eyes

Is that you baby

Or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby

Struggling to do everything right

And then it all falls apart

When out go the lights

I'm just a lonely pilgrim

I walk this world in wealth

I want to know if it's you I don't trust

'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself

Now you play the loving woman

I'll play the faithful man

But just don't look too close

Into the palm of my hand

We stood at the alter

The gypsy swore our future was right

But come the wee wee hours

Well maybe baby the gypsy lied

So when you look at me

You better look hard and look twice

Is that me baby

Or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold

Lost in the darkness of our love

God have mercy on the man

Who doubts what he's sure of

Kate Nash - Foundations

Thursday night

Everything's fine

Except you've got that look in your eye

When I'm telling a story

And you find it boring

You're thinking of something to say

You'll go along with, then drop it

And humiliate me in front of our friends

Then I'll use that voice what you find annoyin'

And say something like

"Yeah, intelligent input darlin'

Why don't you just have another beer then?"

Then you'll call me a bitch

And everyone we're with will be embarrassed

And I won't give a shit

My fingertips are holding onto

The cracks in our foundation

And I know that I should let go

But I can't

And every time we fight I know it's not right

Every time that you're upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can't

You said I must eat so many lemons

'Cause I am so bitter

I said "I'd rather be with your friends, mate

'Cause they are much fitter"

Yes, it was childish

And you got aggressive

And I must admit that I was a bit scared

But it gives me thrills to wind you up

My fingertips are holding onto

The cracks in our foundation

And I know that I should let go

But I can't

And every time we fight I know it's not right

Every time that you're upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can't

Your face is pasty

'Cause you've gone and got so wasted

What a surprise

Don't want to look at your face

'Cause it's making me sick

You've gone and got sick on my trainers

I only got these yesterday

Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this

Well I'll leave you there 'til the mornin'

And I purposely won't turn the heating on

And dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one

My fingertips are holding onto

The cracks in our foundation

And I know that I should let go

But I can't

And every time we fight I know it's not right

Every time that you're upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can't

And every time we fight I know it's not right

Every time that you're upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can't

And every time we fight I know it's not right

Every time that you're upset and I smile

I know I should forget, but I can't

Kimbra - "Settle Down"

I wanna settle down

I wanna settle down

Won't you settle down with me?

Settle down


We can settle at a table..

A table for two

Won't you wine and dine with me?

Settle down


I wanna raise a child

I wanna raise a child

Won't you raise a child with me...

Raise a child


We'll call her Nebraska

Nebraska Jones

She'll have your nose

Just so you know


I wanna settle down

I wanna settle down

Won't you settle down with me?

Settle down


Run from Angela Vickers

I saw her with you

Monday morning small talking on the avenue

She's got a fancy car

She wants to take you far

From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark


Star so light and star so bright

First star i see tonight!

Star so light and star so bright

Keep him by side!


I wanna settle down

I wanna settle down

Baby there's no need to run

I'll love you well

I wanna settle down

It's time to bring you down

On just one knee for now

Lets make our vows

The Fray - How to Save a Life

Step one, you say we need to talk

He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk

He smiles politely back at you

You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left, and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best

Cause after all, you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you

And I pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or break with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he'll say he's just not the same

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

Gotye - Hearts A Mess

Pick apart

The pieces of your heart

And let me peer inside

Let me in

Where only your thoughts have been

Let me occupy your mind

As you do mine


Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this


You have lost

(Too much love)

To fear, doubt and distrust

(It's not enough)

You just threw away the key

(To your heart)

You don't get burned

('Cause nothing gets through)

It makes it easier

(Easier on you)

But that much more difficult for me

To make you see...


Love ain't fair

So there you are

My love


Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this


Love ain't safe

You won't get hurt if you stay chaste

So you can wait

But I don't wanna waste my love

Eurythmics - I saved the world today

Monday finds you like a bomb

That's been left ticking there too long

You're bleeding Some days there's nothing left to learn

From the point of no return

You're leaving


Hey Hey I saved the world today

Everybody's happy now

The bad thing's gone away

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay


There's a million mouths to feed

And I've got everything I need

I'm breathing

And there's a hurting thing inside

But I've got everything to hide

I'm grieving


Hey Hey I saved the world today

Everybody's happy now

The bad thing's gone away

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay


Let it stay


Let it stay

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo the good thing


Peter Gabriel - Digging in the dirt

Something in me, dark and sticky

All the time it's getting strong

No way of dealing with this feeling

I can't go on like this too long

This time you've gone too far

This time you've gone too far

This time you've gone too far,

I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

Don't talk back, just drive the car

Shut your mouth, I know what you are

Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel

Don't turn around, this is for real

Digging in the dirt

Stay with me I need support

I'm digging in the dirt

Find the places I got hurt

Open up the places

I got hurt

The more I look, the more I find

As I close on in, I get so blind

I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes

I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

This time you've gone too far

This time you've gone too far

This time you've gone too far,

I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

Don't talk back, just drive the car

Shut your mouth, I know what you are

Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel

Don't turn around, this is for real

Digging in the dirt

Stay with me I need support

I'm digging in the dirt

Find the places I got hurt

Open up the places I got hurt

Digging in the dirt

Stay with me I need support

I'm digging in the dirt

Find the places I got hurt

Open up the places I got hurt I got hurt

Digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt

Digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt

Digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt

Digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt

Simon and Garfunkel - The boxer

I am just a poor boy

Though my story's seldom told

I have squandered my resistance

For a pocketful of mumbles

Such are promises

All lies and jest

Still a man hears what he wants to hear

And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family

I was no more than a boy

In the company of strangers

In the quiet of the railway station

Running scared

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters

Where the ragged people go

Looking for the places only they would know

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job

But I get no offers

Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there, la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

And wishing I was gone, going home

Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me

Leading me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer

And a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminders

Of every glove that laid him down

Or cut him till he cried out

In his anger and his shame

"I am leaving, I am leaving"

But the fighter still remains

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

I love you

Rubén Blades y Willie Colón - Pedro Navaja

Evelino, ven acá

Por la esquina del viejo barrio lo vi pasar

Con el tumbao que tienen los guapos al caminar

Las manos siempre en los bolsillos de su gabán

Pa' que no sepan en cuál de ellas lleva el puñal

Usa un sombrero de ala ancha, de medio lao

Y zapatillas, por si hay problemas salir, volao

Lentes oscuros pa' que no sepan que está mirando

Y un diente de oro, que cuando ríe se ve brillando

Como a tres cuadras de aquella esquina, una mujer

Va recorriendo la acera entera por quinta vez

Y en un zaguán entra y se da un trago para olvidar

Que el día está flojo y no hay clientes pa' trabajar

Un carro pasa muy despacito por la avenida

No tiene marcas, pero to' saben que es policía

Pedro Navaja, las manos siempre dentro 'el gabán

Mira y sonríe, y el diente de oro vuelve a brillar

Mientras camina pasa la vista, de esquina a esquina

No se ve un alma, está desierta toa la avenida

Cuando de pronto esa mujer sale del zaguán

Y Pedro Navaja, aprieta un puño dentro 'el gabán

Mira pa' un lado, mira pa'l otro y no ve a nadie

Y a la carrera, pero sin ruido, cruza la calle

Y mientras tanto en la otra acera, va esa mujer

Refunfuñando, pues no hizo pesos con que comer

Mientras camina del viejo abrigo saca un revólver, esa mujer

Iba a guardarlo en su cartera pa' que no estorbe

Un 38, Smith & Wesson del especial

Que carga encima pa' que la libre de todo mal

Y Pedro Navaja, puñal en mano le fue pa' encima

El diente de oro iba alumbrando toa la avenida, ¡hizo fácil!

Mientras reía, el puñal le hundía sin compasión

Cuando de pronto sonó un disparo como un cañón

Y Pedro Navaja cayó en la acera mientras veía, esa mujer

Que revólver en mano y de muerte herida, a él le decía

"Yo que pensaba: hoy no es mi día, estoy salá"

"Pero Pedro Navaja, tú estás peor, no estás en na'"

Y créanme gente, que aunque hubo ruido nadie salió

No hubo curiosos, no hubo preguntas, nadie lloró

Solo un borracho con los dos muertos se tropezó

Cogió el revólver, el puñal, dos pesos y se marchó

Y tropezando se fue cantando desafinao

El coro que aquí les traje, mira el mensaje de mi canción

La vida te da sorpresas

Sorpresas te da la vida, ¡ay, Dios!

Pedro Navaja, matón de esquina

Quien a hierro mata, a hierro termina

Valiente pescador, pa'l anzuelo que tiraste

En vez de una sardina un tiburón enganchaste

I like to live in America

Ocho millones de historias

Tiene la ciudad de Nueva York

Como decía mi abuelita

El que de último ríe, se ríe mejor

I like to live in America

Cuando lo manda el destino no lo cambia ni el más bravo

Si naciste pa' martillo, del cielo te caen los clavos

En barrio de guapos, cuidao en la acera

Cuidao camara', que el que no corre, vuela

Como en una novela de Kafka

El borracho dobló por el callejón

En la ciudad de Nueva York, dos personas fueron encontradas muertas

Esta madrugada, los cuerpos sin vida de Pedro Barrios y Josefina Buenso
