Songbook : Cracker



Cracker - Teen Angst

I don’t know what the world mayneed,
But I’m sure as hell that is starts with me.
And that’s a wisdom,
I’ve laughed at.

I don’t know what the world may want,
But a good stiff drink it surely don’t.
So I think I’ll go and fix myself a tall one.

Cause, what the world needs now
Is a new kind of tension.
Cause the old one just bores me to death.
Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head.

I don’t know what the world may need,
But a v8 engine is a good start for me.
Think I’ll drive to find a place,
To be surly.
I don’t know what the world may want,
But some words of wisdom could comfort us.
Think I’ll leave that up to someone wiser.

Cause, what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like la la la la la
Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head.

I don’t know what the world may need,
And I never grasped your complexities.
I’d be happy just to get your attention.
And, I don’t know what the world may want,
But your long, sweet body lying next
To mine could certainly raise my spirits.

Cause what the world needs now
Is a new frank sinatra
So I can get you in bed.
Cause what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head.

Songbook : The Faces




The Faces - Ooh La La

Poor old Granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways

They trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.

The Can Can's such a pretty show
They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey

They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she's fast asleep
Then she's twinkling with the stars.

Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way

Ooh la la

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.


El video no es oficial sino hecho por un fan, pero no he encontrado otra cosa.

Songbook : Hüsker Dü



Hüsker Dü - Everything Falls Apart

If I listened to the things that you said
everything would fall apart
If I did all the things that you do
everything could fall apart
Let's not listen to the
things that they say
everything can fall apart
Let's think about our
actions before we do them
everything will fall apart

I got nothing to do
You got nothing to say
Everything is so fucked up
I guess it's natural that way.

Everything falls apart

If I did all the things that you do
everything could fall apart
If I listened to all the
things that you told me
everything would fall apart
Let's think about our
actions before we do them
everything will fall apart
If we do all the things as we say
everything can fall apart.

I got nothing to do
you got nothing to say
everything is so fucked up
I guess it's natural that way

I got nothing to do
you got nothing to say
everything is so fucked up
I guess we like it that way

If I listened to the things that
you said everything


El sonido y video son muy malos, sacados de un VHS de la época, pero es lo que hay.
Uno de los grupos de mi post-adolescencia.

D'tout'facon Ils n'pouvaient plus s'en sortir
La seule solution c'etait mourir
Mais plus d'un les a suivis en enfer
Quand sont morts Barrow et Bonnie Parker

Songbook : Styx




Styx - Mr. Roboto

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Mata ahoo Hima de
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Himitsu wo Shiri tai.

You're wondering who I am (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Machine or mannequin (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
I am the Modren Man.

I've got a secret
I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human
my blood is boiling
my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely
don't be surprised

I'm just a man who needed someone
and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive - just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide... to keep me alive.

I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems
so we can be free.
I'm not a Hero
I'm not a Saviour
forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control

Beyond my control - we all need control.
I need control - we all need control.


I am the Modern Man (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
So no one else can see (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity! (secret, secret, I've got a secret)

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Domo - Domo
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Domo - Domo
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto

Thank you very much Mr. Roboto
for doing the jobs that nobody wants to

And thank you very much Mr. Roboto
for helping me escape
Just when I needed to
Thank you
thank you - thank you

I want to thank you
please... thank you

The problem's plain to see: Too much technology
Machines to save our lives
machines de-humanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
Now everyone can see
My true identity - I'm Kilroy

Kilroy!!!
Kilroy!!
Kilroy!

Songbook : The Rolling Stones (2)



The Rolling Stones - Play with Fire

Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Your old man took her diamond's and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Now you've got some diamonds and you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step, girl
Or start living with your mother
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Songbook : Wilco



Wilco - Misunderstood

When you're back in your old neighborhood
The cigarettes taste so good
But you're so misunderstood
You're so misunderstood

There's something there that you can't find
Honest when you're tellin' a lie
You hurt her but you don't know why
You love her but you don't know why

Short on long term goals
There's a party there that we oughtta go to
Do you still love rock and roll?
Do you still love rock and roll?

It's only a quarter to three
Reflecting off your C.D.
You're looking at a picture of me
You're staring at a picture of me

Take the guitar player for a ride
He ain't never been satisfied
He thinks he owes some kind of debt
Be years before he gets over it

There's a fortune inside your head
All you touch turns to lead
You think you might just crawl back in bed
The fortune inside your head

You know you're just a mama's boy
Positively unemployed
So misunderstood
So misunderstood

I know you're gotta God shaped hole
Leanin' out your...
So misunderstood

I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
I'd like to thank you all for nothin' at all
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin' at all

Songbook : Soundgarden

Soundgarden, circa 1992


Soundgarden - Outshined

I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now

I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota

So now you know, who gets mystified

Show me the power child
I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined

Someone let the dogs out
They'll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shitting

I'm feeling that I'm sober
Even though I'm drinking
Well, I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking

So now you know, who gets mystified


Show me the power child
I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling
outshined,outshined, outshined

El video es muy malo (de la época, vamos), pero la canción me sigue pareciendo alucinante.

Songbook : Morrisey



Morrisey - You have killed me

Pasolini is me
'Accattone' you'll be
I entered nothing
and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but

As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me

Piazza Cavour, what's my life for?

Visconti is me
Magnani you'll never be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but

As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes, I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me

Who am I that I come to be here?..

As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me

And there is no point saying this again
There is no point saying this again
But I forgive you, I forgive you
Always I do forgive you

Songbook : Dead Kennedys


Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...

Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!

California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay!

California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California

Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower.

DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California!

Songbook : The Posies



The Posies - Everybody is a fucking liar

Everyone I know is trying to get into this show
Everybody is a fucking liar
Time and time again
Whoevers in the room is your friend
Everybody is a fucking liar

Theres no mercy here
A mercy killing of abject fear
Everybody is a fucking liar
Act brave in the press
Conventionalitys what I detest
Everybody is a fucking liar

And you who reject masculinity:
Baby, Im with you
As soon as you forsake virility and aggression too

Back off in disgust
Must honesty jeopardize trust?
Is everybody such a fucking liar?
Damsels in dismay
A mans an edsel in his own way
Everybody is a fucking liar

And just as God in his his infinite infancy thinks hes in control
Thats when God in his infinite infamy
Decides to damn our souls

Lets throw it all in
And think of places to back up & begin
To build something higher
cause everybody is a fucking liar
Everybody is a fucking liar
Everybody is a fucking liar

Songbook : The Beach Boys


The Beach Boys - God Only Knows

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me

God only knows what I'd be without you...

Songbook : Johnny Thunders


Johnny Thunders - You Can´t Put Your Arms Around a Memory

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try
I just never know why

Feel so cold and all alone
Cause baby, you're not at home
And when I'm gone
Big deal, I'm still alone

Feel so restless, I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense
Down in my bones

And even though I don't show
The scars are so old

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

You're just a bastard kid
And you got no name
Could you live with me
We're one and the same

And even though I don't show
The stars are so old

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

Songbook : The Velvet Underground.


The Velvet Underground - I´m waiting for my man.

I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man

Songbook : The Jayhawks - Blue



Una de mis bandas favoritas de country rock son The Jayhawks,unos auténticos superclase.

The Jayhawks - Blue

Where have all my friends gone
They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You're all that was there
Stood by on believing
Stood by on my own
Always thought i was someone
Turned out i was wrong

And you brought me through
And you made me feel so blue
Why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you stop
And look at what's going down

If i had an old woman
She'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone
Who won't sing with you
Give all of my mercy
Give all of my heart
Never thought that i'd miss you
That i'd miss you so much

And you brought me through
And you made me feel so blue
Why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you stop
And look at what's going down

All my life (staying while)
I'm waiting for (staying while)
Someone i could (waiting around)
Show the door (now that i'm blue)
But nothing seems to change
(that i'm blue from now on)
You come back that month

So blue
Why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you
Why don't you stay behind
So blue
Why don't you
Why dont' you stay behind
So blue

Why don't you stop?
And look at what's down...

Songbook : The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden

Ill never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but its a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
Ill never be your beast of burden
Ive walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
Im not too blind to see

Ill never be your beast of burden
So lets go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
Im not too blind to see

Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
Youre a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please

Ill tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
Theres one thing baby
That I dont understand
You keep on telling me
I aint your kind of man

Aint I rough enough, ooh baby
Aint I tough enough
Aint I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh! ooh! please

Ill never be your beast of burden
Ill never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be...

I dont need no beast of burden
I need no fussing
I need no nursing
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be...

Songbook : Chumbawamba

Chumbawamba - Tubthumpin´

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:
"Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy..."
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:
"Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour..."
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing



No es la mejor letra del mundo,pero si de esas canciones que consiguen hacer que vayas a trabajar con una mejor actitud (la de partirle la cara al Jefe)
Y esta otra versión es más divertida:

Songbook : Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain.

Sitting down by my window,
Oh, looking at the rain.
S-sitting down by my window now now,
All around I felt it,
All I could see was the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
Felt to me honey like, lord, a ball and chain.
Yeah! hey! you know what I mean,
But its way too heavy for you,
You cant hold it tomorrow.

Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it cant be
Just because I got to want your love
Please please please please, whoa please, please.
Whoa, honey it cant be
Just because I got to need you daddy.
Please dont you let me down, no, please, lord!
Here you gone today, but I wanted to love you,
I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die,
Till the day, till the day,
Yeah! hey! hey! all right!

Say, whoa, whoa, honey this cant be
Not anything I ever wanted from you daddy
Tell me now, now, now, now, oh, tell me now, yeah.
I say, whoa, whoa, honey this cant be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no ... yeah yeah, hey!
And I want someone that could tell me, tell me why
Just because I got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I said I dont understand, honey, but I wanna chance to try
Try, try, try, try try try try
Honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing
When everybody in the world will need the same lonely thing
When I wanna work for your love, daddy.
When I wanna try for your love, daddy.

I dont understand how come youre gone, man. I dont understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, I cant get it together. i
If you got a cat for one day, man I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right you aint got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man. well I tell you that one da
N, better be your life, man. because, you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the other 364, man, but youre gonna lose that one day, man, and thats all youve got. you gotta call that
, man. thats what it is, man. if you got it today you dont want it tomorrow, man, cause you dont need it, cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, m
Ts all the same fucking day, man.

So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
You gotta hold him like its the last minute in your life, baby.
You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him
cause someday some weights gonna come on your shoulders, babe,
Its gonna feel too heavy, its gonna weigh on you,
Its gonna feel just like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy,
And a chain.




Si viendo esto no se os erizan todos y cada uno de los pelitos de vuestro cuerpo,es que no sois humanos.

Songbook : Jane´s Addiction



Jane´s Addiction - Ocean Size

Wish I was ocean size
They cannot move you
No one tries
No one pulls you
Out from your hole
Like a tooth aching a jawbone...

I was made with a heart of stone
To be broken
With one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
Break on the shore
Come together with no harm done...

It ain't easy living...

I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean

Some people tell me
Home is in the sky
In the sky lives a spy
I want to be more like the ocean
No talking
All action...
No talking
All action...
