Pasito a'lante, varón

No sé por qué alguna gente
No se puede soportar
Cuando la guagua que espera
No acaba de llegar

Algunos preguntan "¿Último?"
Otros no hacen la cola
Y hay quien a veces le falta
El respeto a una señora

Al fijarse que la guagua
Ya viene por la rotonda
Sale arrollando la gente
Como si fuera en la conga

Para subir a la puerta
Se empujan unos a otros
Y a veces sufre la guagua
Desfiguración de rostro

Y en la próxima parada
Nadie se quiere correr
Y muchos miran las caras
Cuando se irrita el chofer
Y muchos miran las caras
Cuando se irrita el chofer

Córranse ahí caballero
Echen un paso pa'trás
Porque no daré el asiento
A la vieja Caridad

Córranse ahí caballero
Echen un paso pa'trás
Yo lo que quiero es que la gente se corra
Para poderme montar

Córranse ahí caballero
Echen un paso pa'trás
Que se echen para atrás
Que en el fondo caben más

Córranse ahí caballero
Echen un paso pa'trás
Dale el asiento a Panchita
Que tiene la pata agamba

Córranse ahí caballero
Echen un paso pa'trás
Si no se corre la gente
Esta guagua no está en na'

¡Azúca'!

Córranse ahí caballero
Echen un paso pa'trás

Que tú va ver, que tú verás
Echen un paso pa'trás
Echa un pasito para atrás mi gente
Echen un paso pa'trás
Para que se acomoden los del frente
Echen un paso pa'trás
No se cuelguen afuera más
Echen un paso pa'trás
Que esperen la otra que viene atrás
Echen un paso pa'trás
Que tengan paciencia que viene ya
Echen un paso pa'trás
Un pasito para atrás por favor
Echen un paso pa'trás

Estoy pidiendo permiso
Al público presente
Ayúdenme por favor, caballeros
Ustedes que son mi gente

Señoras y señores
Consideren mi trabajo
Para que puedan subir
Los que quedaron abajo

Hay una señora
Que tiene una enagua, ¡ja!
Y se le cayó
Entrando en la guagua

Córranse ahí, córranse ahí
Córranse ahí, ay córranse ahí
Córranse ahí, córranse ahí
Córranse ahí, ¡vaya!, Córranse ahí, ¡azúca'!
Córranse ahí, córranse ahí
Córranse ahí, córranse ahí

Pongan atención ahora
A lo que voy a cantar
El problema de la guagua
Ese tiene que cambiar

Yo sé que la gente buena
Tiene cultura
Y por eso es que a la guagua
No le rayan la pintura

Cuando lleguen a la parada
Hagan la cola
No se le metan a'lante
A la niña que va sola

Con las manos arriba ahí
Con las manos arriba allá
Con las manos arriba ahí
Con las manos arriba allá

Ay mamá, esto se ha puesto caliente
Ay mamá, esto se ha puesto caliente

Ay mamá, esto se ha puesto caliente
No te vayas a meter, a jugar con la corriente
Ay mamá, esto se ha puesto caliente
Esto se ha puesto caliente
Porque subió mucha gente

Ay mamá, esto se ha puesto caliente
Caliente, caliente, caliente, caliente

Ay mamá, esto se ha puesto caliente
Pórtese bien caballero
Porque ha subido un teniente

Ay mamá, esto se ha puesto caliente
No suban más, no caben ya
Esto se ha puesto caliente
En esta guagua no caben na'
Esto se ha puesto caliente
Ole-ola-no-no-no, no-no-ola
Esto se ha puesto caliente
Como sardina en lata la gente va
Esto se ha puesto caliente
Mejor me bajo en la calle 20
Esto se ha puesto caliente

No' fuimo'

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
