I could follow love lest I learn...

Bring the Light by The Smashing Pumpkins

Shot down I stood
Withstood my neighborhood
I got it wrong
But I could
Follow love lest I learn

It’s light
To bring the light
I fought with all my might
With light
Oh bring the light

Light
Bring the light
I never felt so good and right
But tonight
You’ll never need another sound
Oh bring the light
Bring the light to me

Here and gone oh I trust
You’d spit upon my dust
And mix my ash with your blood
A son of God you know you must arrive
In the light
Bring the light
Let’s bring the light

Light
Oh bring the light

Light
Bring the light
It’s yours not mine
If you just want to survive
Go grab a glimpse of any star
In heaven’s high
I never felt so real and loved and alive
No shadows follow me unsung
In the light
Bring the light to me

A flower song, clear and bright
Is it wrong in neon white
To insist you are mine
Standing dumb in the light

Bring the light
Oh bring the light
Bring the light

Light
Bring the light
I never felt so real and right and alive
Don’t let them steal you from what’s yours by right
Light
Bring the light
You know there comes a place and time
You can’t deny
With every movement shadows cast and align

Bring the light
Let’s bring the light
Light

A lover for your life an' nothing more...

It Ain't Me, Babe by (Maese) Bob Dylan
(para tí, cuando regresas)

Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

You came on your own and that's how you'll leave...

An End Has a Start by The Editors

I don't think that it's

Gonna rain again today,
There's a devil at your side,
But an angel on the way

Someone hit the light,
Cause there's more here to be seen,
When you caught my eye,
I saw everywhere I'd been
And what I go to...

You came on your own,
And that's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe

I won't disappoint you,
As you fall apart,
Some things should be simple,
Even an end has a start

You came on your own,
And that's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
You'll lose everything,
But in the end,
Still my broken limbs,
Will find time to mend

More and more people I
Know are getting ill
(Put something good on the,
Ashes now be still)

'Cause in her dreams she's seen it all...

Lightning Blue Eyes by The Secret Machines

Under the weight of persuasion

When you change your mind
I left the ground you just gave in
It was the only time

I felt awake I was way out
Under the closing night
Just as the morning became us
and we were only skies

What changed?
It's in my love

In your dreams you've seen it all
Through a window so far off
Remember watching while your
Lightning blue eyes reflected sunrise

Through the dawn I'd seen it, too
I caught a glimpse I thought was you
And I was overwhelmed
Lightning blue eyes against the daylight

I felt awake I was way out
It was the only time
To do away with persuasion
Oh when you change your mind

'Cause in her dreams she's seen it all
Through a window so far off
Remember watching while her
Lightning blue eyes reflected sunrise

Through the dawn I'd seen it, too
I caught a glimpse I thought was her
And I was overwhelmed
Lightning blue eyes against the daylight

I'm lost in a forest, all alone...

A Forest by The Cure

Come closer and see

See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again

You’re feeling a little sad tonight but you’ll be alright...

Before You Cry by Camera Oscura

No sense no style

I said I loved you for a little while
When you cried no
High speed became go slow
Come back this time
Wishful thinking is going to make you mine
Push turns to shove
I got no more room for love

I hope you hear me
I can’t stand you next to me
Get lost goodbye
I’ll smile before you cry
I love you baby
Please don’t hate me
You’re feeling a little sad tonight
but you’ll be alright...

We were destined to live out our lives underwater...

Underwater by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!

Some songs see us sailing away

Navigating foreign borders
And climbing the waves
Someday your secret will be revealed
Am I the one you're thinking of
When the sun goes down into the water?

We're struck by the still of the moon
Hanging up there in the sky as though a balloon
Anchored by an astronaut's patriot tune
We will buy a ship and fly
To the land that would be rediscovered

We'll design a clever disguise
Or retreat to the bottom of the sea
We were destined to live out our lives
Underwater you and me

We'll escape beneath a violet sky
Clouds come
And night falls
You seem different
Oh my my!

Upon an endless trail of moonlight
They'll never realize that we have gone
We have dropped right out of
Out of sight

We'll design a clever disguise
Or retreat to the bottom of the se
We were destined to live out our lives
Underwater you and me

...we're howling forever

Wolf like Me by TV on the Radio

Say say my playmate

won't you lay hands on me
mirror my lady
transfer my tragedy

Got a curse I cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
when the moon is round and full
gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish

My mind's aflame

We could jet in a stolen car
but I bet we wouldn't get too far
before the transformation takes
and bloodlust tanks and
crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it

Charge me your day rate
I'll turn you out in kind
when the moon is round and full
gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mind
mongrel mind
baby doll I recognize
you're a hideous thing inside
if ever there were a lucky kind it's
you you you you

I know it's strange another way to get to know you
you'll never know unless we go so let me show you
Iknow it's strange another way to get to know you
we've got till noon here comes the moon
so let it show you
show you now

Dream me oh dreamer
down to the floor
open my hands and let them
weave onto yours

Feel me, completer
down to my core
open my heart and let it
bleed onto yours

Feeding on fever
down all fours
show you what all that
howl is for

Hey hey my playmate
let me lay waste to thee
burned down their hanging trees
it's hot here hot here hot here hot here

Got a curse we cannot lift
shines when the sunshine shifts
there's a curse comes with a kiss
the bite that binds the gift that gives

now that we got gone for good
writhing under your riding hood
tell your gra'ma and your mama too
it's true
we're howling forever

Once in a green time a flower fell in love with the sun...

Flower in the Sun by Janis Joplin

Oh please don't you think baby that I am wrong to cry, yeah.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh?
Things just can't be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it's just history, yes it is.

And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it's dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.

And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is, yeah.
You wonder if there is, whoa another me
Now how can that be, how can it be ?
Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this ?
I just got toni-ni-ni-night
Our love affair said it's just a history
But baby, baby, I said it's over, Charlie,
I can't stand another lo-lo-lonely,
I'm never too lonely.

It's over baby,
Where were you when I wanted ya
And needed ya right by my side ?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you feel me moving,
Baby, don't you hear me cry ?
I know I hurt you, but Lord don't you know I cried,
I know I hurt you, but babe don't you know I tried,
Oh baby, oh babe, whoa.

How am I gonna keep myself away from me?

Perfect Blue Buildings by Counting Crows

Just down the street from your hotel, baby

I stay at home with my disease
And ain't this position familiar, darling
Well, all monkeys do what they see
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

Down on Virginia and La Loma
Where I got friends who care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby
Try to keep myself away from me

It's 4:30 a.m. on a Tuesday
It doesn't get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms in buildings
in the middle of these lives
which are completely meaningless
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

I got bones beneath my skin, and mister...
There's a skeleton in every man's house
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody
There's a dead man trying to get out
Please help me stay awake, I'm falling...

'I cant keep myself away from me
How am I gonna keep myself away from me?

They paved paradise...

Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

If the world's at large, why should I remain?

The World at Large by Modest Mouse

Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.

If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day,
to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
You don't know where and you don't know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way.

Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
We'll float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
The days get longer and the nights smell green.
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn't know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

I know that starting over is not what life's about.
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth.

¿Qué no sientes el vértigo que estoy sintiendo yo?

Lento de Café Tacuba

Rápido, cada vez se va haciendo más veloz
¿qué no sientes el vértigo
que estoy sintiendo yo?
Antes los días eran largos,
no como hoy que se pasan volando.
Deberíamos ir lento
para ver caminar
esa oruga en la hoja
y verla por el tallo bajar
hacia la húmeda tierra
donde descansará.
Antes no podía ver moverse
nunca al sol
hoy parece un cometa
que cruzara veloz.
Corre, corre siempre adelante más veloz
sin saber nunca a dónde.
Debería ir más lento
para conocer más
la pupila y el iris
y lo profundo de tu mirar
y después concentrarme
en todo lo demás.
Lento (rápido) lento
rápido cada vez se va haciendo más veloz
¿Qué no sientes el vértigo
que estoy sintiendo...?
Rápido podríamos ir mas rápido, por favor,
que esto es como una droga.
Deberíamos ir lejos
para ver la función
del sol y los planetas
bailando todos al rededor
de la orquesta de estrellas cantando su canción.

Today is the greatest...

Today by The Smashing Pumpkins

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever granted me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I've tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you round
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Once I had a love and it was a gas...

Heart of Glass by Blondie

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out as a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Muerte querida que viene a matar...

Muerte querida de Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

Abrí la puerta que vengo a buscar
el final de esta corta canción
juntar coraje, juntar el valor
de decirte que el sol se apagó
y la vida terminó.

Yo sé mi vida que venís a matar
lo que queda de nosotros dos
matar mentiras, matar el dolor
a quedarte con mi corazón
me vas a sacrificar, el alma te vas a llevar.

No hay nada mejor que volver a empezar
que volverte a enamorar
no hay nada mejor que volver a empezar
y otra vida poder empezar.

Mátenme pronto no tengo temor
que en el cielo me espera tu amor
él se fue antes, que alto se fue
cuando te besé por primera vez
era cuando fuimos dos con un solo corazón
dáme otra vida, yo quiero cambiar
un ladrón que no pueda robar
decíme tu condena voy a pagar la pena
rejas en el alma y después libertad
me vas a sacrificar, el alma te vas a llevar.

Muerte querida que viene a matar
lo que queda de nosotros dos
matar mentiras matar el dolor
a quedarte con mi corazón
me vas a sacrificar, el alma te vas a llevar.

Sukie was a kid, she liked to hangout in the graveyard...

Sukie in the Graveyard by Belle & Sebastian

Sukie was a kid, she liked to hangout in the graveyard
She did brass rubbings, she learned you never had to press hard
When she finished hanging out she was all alone
She decided that she better check in at home
There was an awful row between her mum and dad
They said she hadn't done this, she hadn't done that
If she wanted to remain inside the family home
She'd have to toe the line, she'd have to give it a go
It didn't suit Sukie
So she took her things and left

Sukie was a kid, she liked to hang out at the art school
She didn't enrol, but she wiped the floor with all the arseholes
She took a bijou flat with the fraternity cat
She hid inside the attic of the sculpture building
She had a slut slave and his name was Dave
She said ‘Be my photo bitch and I'll make you rich'
He didn't believe her but the boy revered her
He got her meals and he got her a bed
He watched behind the screen and she started to undress
He never got far
Just lookin' and playing guitar

Autumn hanging down all the trees are draped like chandeliers
Sukie saw the beauty but she wasn't wet behind the ears
She had an A1 body and a face to match
She didn't have money, she didn't have cash
With the winter coming on, and the attic cold
She had to press her nose on the refectory wall
They served steamed puddings she went without
She had to pose for life for all the scholars of art
She didn't feel funny, she didn't feel bad
Peeling away everything she had
She had the grace of an eel, sleek and stark
As the shadows played tricks on the girl in the dark

You can come, you can slip inside, babe...

Pink Steam by Sonic Youth

I just come by to run you over

I just come by to see you quiver
You can come, you can slip inside, babe
Killer eyes and a burning heart, babe
Don't you know you need no other
I'm the man who loves your mother
Open up your arms to me, girl
Let me feel your wild heart beat, girl
Sweet lips, flowers and cream
Deep in love, surrender pink steam
Deep in love, you need no other
Deep in love, your lonely lover
I feel your wild heart beat
Lonely lover
Open up to me
Lonely mother
Your sweet lips are mine
like flowers and cream
Killer, killer eyes
surrender pink steam

...make it magnificent

Uh huh make me tonight.
Tonight make it right.
Uh huh make me tonight.

I've been into the plants...

pretty little femur sitting in my cherry dream boat
id be sad if your rejected from my hip bone and my knee
if i sailed away from continents and touched my lovers hair then
you'd be very happy if i touched her there
i was very nervous how i felt in there
i was very cautious what'd you say hey there
would you like to see me often
though you dont need to see me often
cause i'd like to see you often
though i dont need to see you often

(extracto de Grass by Animal Collective)

The trees, the useless trees

I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground

& it died without a sound.
Your skin so pale against the fallen Autumn leaves
& no-one saw us but the trees.
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees

produce the air that I am breathing.
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees;
they never said that you were leaving.
I carved your name with a heart just up above
now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable; like our love.
The smell of leaf mould & the sweetness of decay
are the incense at the funeral procession here, today.
In the trees, those useless trees, etc.
You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be.
Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me.
Oh no, no I might as well go & tell it to the trees.
Go & tell it to the trees, yeah.
