Lobo - I'd Love You To Want Me


When I saw you standing there
I about fell off my chair
When you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

Writen by Lobo (Roland Kent Lavoie)

Rod Stewart - Maggie May


Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days

Written by Rod Stewart & Martin Quittenton

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain



Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm.
I know, and it's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day.
I know, shinin' down like water.

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard.
I know, been that way for all my time.
'Til forever on it goes through the circle fast and slow,
I know, and it can't stop, I wonder.

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
comin' down on a sunny day?

Written by John Fogerty

Roxette - Things Will Never Be The Same



Lay it down
Pull my heart to the ground
Time's getting cold
Now the leaves all turn hard and blue

And I know
When I gaze to the sun
No place to hide
I got nowhere to run from you
Away from you

Hold me now
Girl, I don't know when
When we will ever meet again

That was then
Baby this is now
I try to get over you

Losing you...
Things will never be the same
Can you hear me call your name?
If we changed it back again
Things would never be...

In your hand
Babe, I don't understand
You've got the eyes of a child but you hurt like a man
Always do
Always do

Touch me now
Girl I don't know when
When we will ever meet again?
That was then
Baby this is now
Time won't get over you

Losing you...
Things will never be the same
Can you hear me call your name?
If we changed it back again
Things would never be the same

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge



Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
And she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

Written by Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Flea & Chad Smith

Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds



We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

Written by Mark James

Andrés Calamaro - Paloma



Mi vida fuimos a volar
Con un solo paracaídas
Uno sólo va aquedar
Volando a la deriva
Vivir así no es vivír
Esperando y esperando
Porque vivir es jugar
Y yo quiero seguir jugando

Le dije a mi corazón
Sin gloria pero sin pena
No cometas el crimen, varón
Si no vas a cumplir la condena
Quiero vivir a veces
Para poder olvidarte
Quiero llevarte conmigo
Y no voy a ninguna parte

No te preocupes, Paloma
Hoy no estoy adentro mío
Tu amor es mi enfermedad
Soy un envase vacío
No te preocupes Paloma
No hay pájaros en el nido
Dos ilusiones se irán a volar
Pero otras dos han venido

Si me olvido de vivir
Colgado de sentimientos
Voy a vivir para repetir otra vez
Este momento
Te bajaría del cielo, mujer
La luna hasta tu cama
Porque es muy poco de amor
Sólo una vez por semana
Puse precio a mi libertad
Y nadie quiso pagarlo
Te cambio tu corazón por el mío
Para mirarla y mirarla
…de gloria, mujer
Quiero un pedazo de cielo
Para invitarte a dormir
En la cama o en el suelo
Un sacrificio ritual bien o mal
Yo quiero hacerle a mi estrella
Sin principio ni final
No quiero vivir sin ella

No te preocupes, Paloma
Hoy no estoy adentro mío
Tu amor es mi enfermedad
Soy un envase vacío
No te preocupes Paloma
No hay pájaros en el nido
Dos ilusiones se irán a volar
Pero otras dos han venido

Letra & música de Andrés Calamaro


Para el Honestidad Brutal de 1999.

Crowded House - Fall At Your Feet



I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call

And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you, go
I'll be waiting when you call

Hey and whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

Whenever I fall at your feet
Would you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall, ever I fall

Written by Neil Finn

Patsy Cline - Crazy



Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

Written by Willie Nelson


Patsy Cline cantó esta canción después de que otro cantante no la quisiera, y la convirtió en la número 85 de la lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos que elaboró la revista Rolling Stone.

Roxette - She Doesn't Live Here Anymore



We grew up together, we've been here forever.
Barefoot in the summer, cold in stormy weather.
She taught me all there is, like magic and love,
Lots of forgotten words

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore.
I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all

She dressed just like a painter, a female street picasso
And i, I will remember the heaven in her laughter.
And the scent of her sweet perfume when we made love
Under an august moon

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's gone since long, so long, she doesn't live here anymore.
She took off and left home, she doesn't live here anymore.

I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all.
That's all.

Written by Per Gessle.

Madonna - American Pie



A long long time ago I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Now do you believe in rock 'n roll
And can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singing

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away
Well, I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

Well now in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

They started singing

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die

We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin

The Cranberries - Go Your Own Way



Loving you isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?

If I could, maybe I'd give you my world
How can I, when you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way

Tell me why everything turned around?
Packing up, shacking up, is all you wanna do

If I could baby I'd give you my world
Open up, everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way

You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day

You can go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way

New Order - Krafty



Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
That ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we're living in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've gotta let you know (I've gotta let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go

You've gotta look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath a tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that tv you just don't care

They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
And this is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go

Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
Maybe we'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go
