James "She´s a star"



Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore
Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow will always keep her small
So frightened that he wont love her
She builds up a wall

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark

She's a star

She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming through

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark

She's a star

Don't tell her to turn down,
Put on your shades if you can't see,
Don't tell her to turn down,
Turn up the flame.
She's a star

It's a long road
It's a great cause
It's a long road
Its a good call
You got it,
You got it,

Afghan Whigs "66"



You walked in
Just like smoke
With a little come on, come on, come on
In your walk
Well, come on
I've been waitin'
Are you waitin?
For my move, well I'm makin' it
So tell me baby, can you shake it?
If I can move it with ya
Will you let me take it?
I'll be down on my knees
Screamin' take me, take me, take me, take me
I'm yours
I've never felt so out of control
You don't even know what you're doin' to me
Come on and do it to me
Don'tcha stop
Come on, come on
Come on little rabbit
Show me where you got it
'Cuz I know you got a habit

Blue Nile "Heatwave"

"&



You live beneath another star


You are pretending love is worth waiting for

You always breathe another air

The rivers in the distance must be leading somewhere



Heatwave, Heatwave

Why is it rolling down on the young and foolish?

Heatwave, Heatwave

Are we rich or poor ?

Does it matter anymore?

Heatwave



Can this be all we will desire ?

Straw houses in the promised land

Why is it time for taking sides ?

When all I say and do is take too many chances



Heatwave, Heatwave

Why is it rolling down on the young and foolish ?

Heatwave, Heatwave

Are we rich or poor ?

Does it matter anymore?

Heatwave



Will I tell you ?

Will you listen ?

If I tell you, what will happen ?



Heatwave, Heatwave

Why is it rolling down on the young and foolish ?

Heatwave, Heatwave

Are we rich or are we poor ?

Does it matter anymore?

In a heatwave

Heatwave, Heatwave

Why is it rolling down on the young and foolish ?

Heatwave, Heatwave



Are we rich or are we poor ?

Does it matter anymore?



In a heatwave

Echo & The Bunnymen "Nothing lasts forever"

">

The Lilac Time "The Nursery Walls"




The promises are here to gag you
Our love was the air that suffocates you
And how to begin to get down
From the nursery walls we hang upon?

I’ll be the light
And I’ll be the dark surrounding you
All that you need is everything
And you know I tried to be that too

You heard love fades, well, now you know
The love you made, it's life will go
And breaking up is like a death
It’s grief you feel at it's last breath

I’ll be the light
And I’ll be the dark surrounding you
All that you need is everything
And you know I tried to be that too

I promise you this
The last one you’ll break is:
”I’ll tell you what’s wrong
I won’t say we’re OK”

I’ll be the light
And I’ll be the dark surrounding you
All that you need is everything
And you know I tried to be that too

I’ll be the light
And I’ll be the dark surrounding you
All that you need is everything
And you know I tried to be that too

Death Cab For Cutie "You can do better than me"




I'm starting to feel
We stay together
Out of fear
Of dying alone

I've been slipping through the years
And my old clothes don't fit like
They once did
So they hang like ghosts
Of the people I've been

But it's like my heart can't be tamed
And I fall in love everyday
And I feel like a fool

I have to face the truth
That no one could ever look at me
Like you do
Like I'm something worth
Holding on to

There's times I think of leaving
But it's something I'll never do
'Cause you can do better than me
But I can't do better than you

You can do better than me
But I can't do better than you

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Bring it on"



This garden that I built for you
That you sit in now and yearn
I will never leave it, dear
I could not bear to return
And find it all untended
With the trees all bended low
This garden is our home, dear
And I got nowhere else to go

So bring it on
Bring it on
Every little tear
Bring it on
Every useless fear
Bring it on
All your shattered dreams
And I'll scatter them into the sea
Into the sea

The geraniums on your window sill
The carnations, dear, and the daffodil
Well, they're ordinary flowers
But they long for the light of your touch
And of your trembling will
Ah, you're trembling still
And I am trembling too
To be perfectly honest I don't know
Quite what else to do

So bring it on
Bring it on
Every neglected dream
Bring it on
Every little scheme
Bring it on
Every little fear
And I'll make them disappear

So bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on
Every little thing
Bring it on
Every tiny fear
Bring it on
Every shattered dream
And I'll scatter them into the sea

Jeff Buckley "The sky is a landfill"



Circle around the park
Joining hands in silence
Watch the evil black the sky

The storm has ripped the shelter
Of illusion from our brow
This power is no mystery to us now.

Leave your spirit genocide
The cancer you won?t remove
We cast our funeral rose inside
And bury the need to prove
Our mutilation is to gain from the system

Ooh, turn your head away
From the screen, oh people
It will tell you nothing more
Don?t suck the milk of flaccid Bill K.
Public?s empty promise
To the people that the public can ignore

This way of life is so devised
To snuff out the mind that moves
Moving with grace the men despise
And women have learned to lose

Throw off your shame or be
a slave to the system

I see you take another drag
One more lost soul to raise your flag
The sky is a landfill
I see you take another drag
Let?s see you take another drag

You like to dance to the rolling
Head of the adulteress
You sing in praise of suicide
We know you?re useless
Like cops at the scene of the crime

With your steroids and your feedbag
And your stable and your trainer
I got a mail bomb for you Mister Strong Arm.

Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes
For the violence of a nation gone by

Or the politics of weakness
And the garbage dump of souls
That will now black the sky

Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes
Will plug up the mind that moves
Moving with grace the men despise
And women have learned to lose
We?ll share our bodies
In disdain for the system

Oh, I see you take another drag
One nation bends to kiss the hag
The sky is a landfill
I see you take another drag
I see you take another drag
I have no fear of this machine!

Hoy en el Patio de la Favorita en Gijón

Hoy en Gijón, en el Patio de la Favorita, a partir de las 22 h.: Segunda Presentación Eléctrica de "Viajes al fondo del precipicio". Letra: Manolo D. Abad. Música: Emilio Fidalgo.

The The "Slow emotion replay"






The more I see
The less I know
About all the things I thought were wrong or right
& carved in stone
So, don't ask me about
War, Religion, or God
Love, Sex, or Death
Because....
Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself.
You've gotta work out your own salvation.
With no explanation to this Earth we fall
On hands & knees we crawl
And we look up to the stars
And we reach out & pray
To a deaf, dumb & blind God who never explains.
Every body knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself.
Lord, I've been here for so long
I can feel it coming down on me
I'm just a slow emotion replay of somebody I used to be.

Manolo Preciado (1957-2012)

 

No soy del Sporting (ni mucho menos), pero este tipo me parecía un Paisanu, como decimos aquí en Asturias. D.E.P.Un recuerdo aquí de él, participando en el vídeo-clip de un buen amigo...

"Tengo miedo a perder"




Tengo miedo a perder la maravilla


de tus ojos de estatua, y el acento

que de noche me pone en la mejilla

la solitaria rosa de tu aliento.



Tengo pena de ser en esta orilla

tronco sin ramas; y lo que más siento

es no tener la flor, pulpa o arcilla,

para el gusano de mi sufrimiento.



Si tú eres el tesoro oculto mío,

si eres mi cruz y mi dolor mojado,

si soy el perro de tu señorío,



no me dejes perder lo que he ganado

y decora las aguas de tu río

con hojas de mi otoño enajenado.

(Federico García Lorca)

Death Cab For Cutie "I will possess your heart

">

How I wish you could see the potential,
the potential of you and me.
It's like a book elegantly bound but,
in a language that you can't read.
Just yet.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.

There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass,
and I long for this mirrored perspective
when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.

You reject my... advances... and desperate pleas...
I won't let you... let me down... so easily.
So easily.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.

Spiritualized "Think I´m in love"

">;


Sun so bright that I'm nearly blind
Fool as I'm working it out in my mind
Warm as the dope running down my spine
But I don't care 'bout you
And I've got nothing to do
Feel the warmth of the air that I breathe
Even free-er than DMT
Feel the warmth of the sun in me
But I don't care 'bout you
And I've got nothing to do
Love in the middle of an afternoon
Just me and my spike in my arm and my spoon
Feel the warmth of the sun and the moon
But I don't care 'bout you
And I've got nothing...

I think I'm in love (probably just hungry)
Think I'm your friend (probably just lonely)
Think you got me in a spin now (probably just turning)
Think I'm a fool for you (probably just learning)
Think that I can rock and roll (probably just twisting)
Think I wanna tell the world (probably ain't listening)
Come on...
Think I can fly (probably just falling)
Think I'm the life and soul (probably just snorting)
Think I can hit the mark (probably just aiming)
Think my name is on your lips (probably complaining)
Think that I have got it bad (probably contageous)
Think that I'm a winner baby (probably Las Vegas)
Come on...
Think I'm alive (probably just breathing)
Think you stole my heart now baby (probably just stealing)
Think I'm on fire (probably just smoking)
Think that I'm your dream girl (probably just dreaming)
Think I'm the best (probably like all the rest)
Think that I could be your man (oh, probably just think you can)
Come on...
I think I'm in love, I think I'm in love
