THE WEEPIES - WORLD SPINS MADLY ON

Woke up and wished that I was dead 

With an aching in my head 

I lay motionless in bed 

I thought of you and where you'd gone 

and let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I'd do 

Like make the world brand new 

And take the time for you 

I just got lost and slept right through the dawn 

And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by 

I always say goodbye 

I watch the stars from my window sill 

The whole world is moving and I'm standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead 

With an aching in my head 

I lay motionless in bed 

The night is here and the day is gone 

And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you'd gone 

And the world spins madly on

THAT MOON SONG

The tail lights burn red
they were hotter than hell
and I've been long gone couldn't you tell

The smoke in the air
couldn't hide my shame
saw it lit up on that silver screen

And ahh that full bellied moon she's a shining on me
yeah she pulls on this heart like pulls on the sea

And you came on strong like some running wave
and your beauty left me broke and hungry
left me begging to the birds for a bone or an offering
left me saying nothing, nothing, like I always say

And ahh that full bellied moon she's a shining on me yeah she pulls on this heart like pulls on the sea

And those broken hearted lovers,
they got nothing on me

ES LUNES...SMILE CITY GIRL

IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her, then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart,
But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
You'll be happy for the rest of your life,
An ugly woman cooks her meals on time,
She'll always give you peace of mind.

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

Don't let your friends say
You have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway,
Though her face is ugly,
Her eyes don't match,
Take it from me she's a better catch.

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

Say man.
Hey baby.
I saw your wife the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, she's ugly.
Man, she's ugly but she sure can cook, baby.
Yeah? Alright...

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

MOVEMENTS

I wanna soar with you

Up on wings like eagles

But I'll crawl with you too

When the dark and lonely questions come

I wanna stand true

No matter what's new or comes through

I cant stand still

Whatever hits I'll keep making movements to you

I'm running fast and free to you

Cos you are the movement and fight in me

I'm Running fast and free to you

Cos you are my home

Where I wanna be

Come move in me

Where I wanna be

Come move in me

I wanna float with you

The currents driving me

But I'll paddle hard too

When the waves and rapids overcome

I wanna stand firm

When my minds weak and my emotions squirm

I must stand true

Whatever hits I'll keep making movements to you

Won't walk away, won't walk away

SOMEBODY LOVED

Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

Nights when the heat had gone out
We danced together alone
Cold turned our breath into clouds
We never said what we were dreaming of
But you turned me into somebody loved

Someday when we're old and worn
Like two softened shoes
I will wonder on how I was born
The night I first ran away from you

Now my feet turn the corner back home
Sun turns the evening to rose
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Al final del día echo la vista hacia atrás para visualizar el transcurso de la jornada y renuevo mis promesas esperando que el día de mañana sea un día mejor. Tratando de buscar los errores cometidos para que no se vuelvan a repetir.

Enciendo el ordenador y busco y rebusco entre mis archivos aquella canción que me ayude a dormir. Suenan a medio volumen canciones de Lou Reed, tranquilas pero con fuerza, trato de separar los sonidos y adivinar de dónde proceden mientras saco de un paquete de cigarros el último cigarrillo del día que me deja un sabor sucio en la boca jurándome que éste será el último cigarro de esta etapa y que mañana comienza una vida nueva en la que éstos no tienen cabida.

Echo un último vistazo a la habitación pensando qué habría que cambiar y si cada cosa está en su sitio. Un póster de Johnny Cash me mira de reojo como pensando...¿de verdad crees que las cosas van a cambiar?

No me atrevo a apagar la música porque sé que eso significaría escuchar el sonido del silencio y creo que aún no estoy preparada para eso. Necesito poner en orden mis pensamientos. Callar y apaciguar esa voz que llevo dentro que me dice que no puedo cambiar pero no estoy dispuesta a escucharle y me distraigo y entretengo como puedo.

En la repisa un cenicero desbordado de colillas, algunas a medio fumar, que me recuerda todas las noches que he pasado en soledad.

La temperatura es elevada y sé que me va a costar dormir con este calor sofocante. La ventana está medio abatida y por ella entran revoloteando varios insectos atraídos por la luz, vuelan en círculos alrededor de la lámpara que pende del techo y ni se inmutan con mi presencia. Mientras tanto suena "Take a walk on the wild side" y tu-turu-turu-tu-turu-turu me pongo a tararear.

La señal verde que está encima del radiador en la que aparecen unas escaleras y una flecha me indica la salida de emergencia y yo le hago caso y como la música ha dejado de sonar apago el ordenador y me acuesto pesadamente sobre las sábanas soñando con los ojos abiertos que mañana será todo mejor y rogando al de arriba que pueda conciliar pronto el sueño.

Un verano cualquiera en Bilbao

THINGS THAT STOP YOU DREAMING

I got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket
won’t get to space ‘cos I haven’t got a rocket
But i’ve air in my lungs,
eyes in my sockets
and a heart that beats like a tap that leaks
in the night when you haven’t got a plumber who can stop it
jack in a box without a key to lock it
well this boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it
‘cos the sea doesn’t know ma name
yeah the boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it
‘cos the sea doesn’t know ma name

Well if you can’t get what you love,
you learn to love the things you’ve got.
If you can’t be what you want,
you learn to be the things you’re not.
If you can’t get what you need,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
All the things that stop you dreaming.

Well I’ve got no ones word and nobody’s promis
not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
and my liver maybe fucked but my heart is honest
and my word is true like the sky is blue.
In the summer time when everybody get’s on it
warm skins and get sunburnt from it
and our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
that shoot like silver trains.
Yeah eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
that shoot like silver trains.

Well if you can’t get what you love,
you learn to love the things you’ve got.
If you can’t be what you want,
you learn to be the things you’re not.
If you can’t get what you need,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
Oh ohoh
All the things that stop you dreaming.

Ohh oh oh ohho no
And ohh oh oh ohho no
Ohh oh oh ohho no
Ohouhoh oh no

Well if you can’t get what you love,
you learn to love the things you’ve got.
If you can’t be what you want,
you learn to be the things you’re not.
If you can’t get what you need,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
Ohouoh
All the things that stop you dreaming.

SALT & THE SEA

Train station. I know you all too well

tainted in salutation

and I'm going back where I belong

with the salt and the sea and the stones

save them all for me

Train station. I know you all too well

from the boarding we all came and fell

into your room

the tracks raced beneath our feat

through square windows, so clean

well I could see them walking away

I belong with the salt and the sea and the stones

save them all for me.

As you lay sleeping on the cloth seat beside me

I stoood awake there dreaming

somo other kind of form to be

and the words you could say

that would always keep me near

is stay...stay

I belong with the salt and the sea and the stones

save them all for me.

VIA CON ME / VENTE CONMIGO 

Vamos, vamos, vámonos de aquí,

ya nada te ata a estos lugares

ni siquiera estas flores azules...

Vente, vente, ni siquiera este tiempo gris

lleno de músicas y de hombres que te han gustado

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful

good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,

it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips, du-du-du-du-du

Vente, vente, vente conmigo

entra en este amor oscuro,

no te pierdas por nada en el mundo

vente, vente, no te pierdas por nada en el mundo

el espectáculo de arte variado de uno enamorado de ti

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful

good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,

it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips, du-du-du-du-du

Vente, vente, vente conmigo

entra en este amor oscuro lleno de hombres

vente, vente, entra y date un baño caliente

hay un albornoz azul,

fuera llueve un mundo frío

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful

good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,

it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips, du-du-du-du-du

LLUVIA PLUSCUAMPERFECTA 

No sé a vosotros pero a mí tantos días de lluvia seguidos me estaban empezando a amargar y estaba empezando a apoderarse de mí...miré por la ventana, cogí mis botas de lluvia y salí en busca de algún charco que aniquilar.

Y derrepente la lluvia no me parece tan mala.

Y se me ocurrió hacer una selección de temas para escuchar desde el sofá de casa mientras llueve o en la calle con tus catiuscas.

Música para escuchar en días lluviosos:

• Hoppipolla // Vitamin String Quartet (Tribute to Sigur Ros)

• Arrival of the birds // The Cinematic Orchestra

• Welcome Home // Radical Face

¡¡¡Y QUE VUESTROS DÍAS DE LLUVIA SEAN PLUSCUAMPERFECTOS!!!

WE ARE YOUNG

HAVE FUN! :)

FATHER & SON

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, i am old
But i'm happy

I was once like you are now
And i know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something's going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

How can i try to explain
When i do he turns away again
It's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment i can talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and i know
That i have to go away
I know i have to go...

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, i am old but i'm happy

All the times that i've cried
Keeping all the things i knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right i'd agree
But it's them they know not me
Now there's a way and i know
That i have to go away
I know i have to go...

IT'S FRIDAY...I'M IN LOVE

 I don't care if Monday's blue, 
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too. 
Thursday, I don't care about you. 
It's Friday, I'm in love. 
Monday, you can fall apart. 
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart. 
Thursday doesn't even start. 
It's Friday, I'm in love. 

Saturday, wait, 
And Sunday always comes too late, 
But Friday never hesitate... 

I don't care if Monday's black, 
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack. 
Thursday, never looking back. 
It's Friday, I'm in love. 

Monday, you can hold your head. 
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed. 
Or Thursday, watch the walls instead. 
It's Friday, I'm in love. 

Saturday, wait, 
And Sunday always comes too late, 
But Friday, never hesitate... 

Dressed up to the eyes, 
It's a wonderful surprise 
To see your shoes and your spirits rise, 
Throwing out your frown, 
And just smiling at the sound, 
And as sleek as a shriek, 
Spinning round and round. 
Always take a big bite, 
It's such a gorgeous sight 
To see you eat in the middle of the night. 
You can never get enough, 
Enough of this stuff. 
It's Friday, 
I'm in love


                                                           NICE WEEKEND    :)

THERE'S A REVOLUTION

La forma de escuchar música ha cambiado mucho en pocos años. Aún recuerdo mi primer walkman, me encantaba ir por la calle con ese "cacharro", escuchando cintas que me grababa mi tío de la radio o que iba coleccionando sacadas de alguna gasolinera de mala muerte en uno de esos viajes familiares.

Luego le tocó el turno al discman y seguro que nadie se acuerda del "vistoynovisto" minidisc!!Recuerdo con una pena inmensa deshacerme de todas esas cintas que me habían dado tantos buenos momentos y miro ahora a todas esas torres de cd's (algunos originales para que no cante tanto) cogiendo polvo.

Y es que en esta era de las nuevas tecnologías ya no nos gusta almacenar "cacharros" por casa que en dos días se quedan desfasados, nos gusta recopilar información a lo bestia. Luego ya veremos si la usamos o la dejamos olvidada en un rincón de la memoria de nuestro ordenador, total, no ocupa!!

Aún recuerdo los programas para descargar música como el Napster o el Ares. A veces tenías que dejar el ordenador encendido 3 o 4 días para que se bajasen las canciones y eso cuando es que se bajaban todas...pues bien, Youtube tiene una nueva página web donde puedes convertir tus videos favoritos a mp3 de forma inmediata y lo mejor de todo sin pagar un duro!!! Lo único que necesitas es la dirección URL de YouTube, pincha AQUÍ y pruébalo!!!

WHEN WE EMBRACED

We embraced

We couldn't see

The future dangling in front of us

The past now, too far to see

But we didn't look and we didn't care

There was something left between us then

But now I figure it's just not quite there

When we kissed, you know

We couldnt see, you know

The future dangling infront of us

The past now, too far to see

But you didn't look, I didn't care

There was something left between us then you say

But now it's just, it's just not quite there

EL MUNDO EN UN CAFÉ

Provaré d'entendre el món en un cafè,
fingiré llegir el diaru com si res.

De cop i volta, d'un plegat,
ho entendré ho veuré tot clar.
Trobaràs segur, tot el que no t'he donat.
Trobaràs algú que et doni tranquilitat, morirà per tu.

De cop i volta, d'un plegat,
ho entendré ho veuré tot clar.
Trobaràs segur, tot el que no t'he donat.
Trobaràs algú que et doni tranquilitat, morirà per tu.

Prepararà el teu esmorzar,
dormint t'agafarà la mà.
I sense tu no entendrà el món
i junts veureu la fi de tot.

Et parlarà del seu passat,
noies de qui s'ha enamorat.
I veuràs el sentit de tot,
quan et parlaven de l'amor.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 


Trataré de entender el mundo en un café,
fingíamos leer el periódico como si nada.


De repente, de repente,
lo entenderé lo veré todo claro.
Encontrarás seguro, todo lo que no te he dado.
Encontrarás alguien que te dé tranquilidad, morirá por ti.


De repente, de repente,
lo entenderé lo veré todo claro.
Encontrarás seguro, todo lo que no te he dado.
Encontrarás alguien que te dé tranquilidad, morirá por ti.


Preparará tu desayuno,
durmiendo t'agafarà la mano.
Y sin ti no entenderá el mundo
y juntos veréis el fin de todo.


Te hablará de su pasado,
chicas de quien se ha enamorado.
Y verás el sentido de todo,
cuando te hablaban del amor.
