El río, la rata
Por mi madre que hoy
Me saco to' las garrapatas
Respira profundo
Que no te importe la cloaca
Este mundo es perfecto
Da, da, dale
Pata'itas a la lata
Si no lo haces tú
Dime quién te ata

Pa' fuera hay los colores
La corbata
Quejarte y hozica'
No te sirve de na'
Como sucedáneos
En el ultramarino
A este mundo vinimos
Si, pero ¿qué hicimos?

Lo mediocre justifica
A lo divino
Y qué le digo yo a la abuela
Que cerraron las escuelas
Monto un caballo sin espuelas
Él me deja que lo monte
Porque lo trato bien

Hace rato ya
Que desaparecieron los modales
Los modelos a seguir
Son cuatro subnormales
Y todavía somos hermanos
No voy a llora'
Porque así no se consigue na'

Y yo soy caprichosa
Quiero llegar a mi choza
Y tener agua (agua)

¿Cuál es tu guerra?
Si te mueres, te entierran
La nana que yo canto
Me lo inspira la niebla
Sobre la tierra
Que me corten la cabeza
Si no me funciona
¿Cuántas te quedan?
Di ¿Ocho neuronas?
Plasma, Benz, Hilfiger
Y otros antojos
Ya os veo ya
Convertidos en rastrojos
Pingajos con esos despojos
Sobre los hombros
Hombres y mujeres
Equivocados
Comiendo la ración entera
De un bocado
Bajo el sol somos lo mismo

Y si no nos desnudamos
Y si no bailamos
Y si no comemos
Y si no reímos
Y si no follamos
Y si no cagamos
¿En qué nos diferenciamos?
¿En qué nos parecemos?
¿Por qué nos matamos?
¿Por qué tiene sed?
¿Por qué?
Si teniendo agua
No se la damos
Son solo niños
El presidente cabrón
Está ahí
¿Por qué lo votamos?

Abro la ventana
Siento el aire moviendo mis ramas
Mundo mío estas tocándome la membrana
¿Qué se vendió más barato el jako o la manzana?

Cualquiera puede amarme
Cualquiera matarme
Cualquiera sentenciarme
¿Pero quién me libera?

No existe enfermedad certera
Todo esto es puro cuento

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,
