La mansión sin amor

A Mansion on the Hill

Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and O how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without loving
In your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years love
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill

The light shine bright from yer window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

PRI-MI-TI-VO, así es como vivo

Primitive

What I don't know

can never hurt me
I live a life that's working for me
what I respect you just can't see
what you expect I'll never be
Primitive
that's how I'll live
primitive
I take what you give
cause I love and I live
primitive
the things I do you'd never try
what I get free you have to buy
I'm proud of my life but don't ask me why
cause if I told ya, I'd probably...
primitive
that's how I live
primtive
I'll take what you give
cause I love and I live
primitive primitive
that's how I live
primtive
I'll take what you give
cause I love and I live
primitive

Que no, que no

And your bird can sing

You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me

You say you've seen seven wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me

When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be round

When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

John Lennon

Ahí está la pared...

The Man Don't Give a Fuck

Spent some times in stormy weather
under clouds of my dilemma
Now there's nothing much to do
except for sitting in front of televisions
staring back at me
I'm just waiting for the microwaves
to wash me into the sea

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else

Out of focus ideology
keep the masses from majority
Experts blame my stupid plan
Left to bleed while vultures glide

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else

Adiós al malogrado Michael


They Don't Care About Us



Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation / Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news / Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead / Everybody's gone mad

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Beat me, hate me / You can never break me
Will me, thrill me / You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me / Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me / Don't you black or white me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
trepidation, speculation / Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news / Everybody dog food
black man, black male / Throw your brother in jail

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation / Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me / You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me / You can never get me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be

Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation / Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news / Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me / Don't you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Recalificando el paraíso

Big Yellow Taxi

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 an 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 D.D.T. 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


Joni Mitchell

Eugene Kelly invoca el poder del Ganges

Dear John

Dear John some day there's going to come a river
Wash all this poor shit away
Rock on with the power of the Ganges
Destroy a Starbucks today

When progress is brewing along with corporate coffee stewing
Then hang on to your hat

Fiction swapped for franchise paperback for surprise
At the choice beyond the mat

We need someone to save us
Mother Nature help us now

Dear John some day there's going to come a river
Wash all this poor shit away
Rock on with the power of the Ganges
Destroy a Starbucks today

Philistines and caffeine freaks
Buy your fix on any street
So why do you make it mine

We shall invoke a mighty rage to wash away
This west end place
Now let the water rise

We need someone to save us
Mother Nature help us now

Dear John some day there's going to come a river
Wash all this poor shit away
Rock on with the power of the Ganges
Destroy a Starbucks today

Undress yourself, immerse yourself
Come in yeah the water's fine
Undress yourself, immerse yourself
Come in yeah the water's fine

Dear John some day there's going to come a river
Wash all this poor shit away
Rock on with the power of the Ganges
Destroy a Starbucks today
And tomorrow McDonalds

La ciudad del demonio


Devil Town

I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town

And all my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the devil town

I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town

El blues del vampiro

Vampire Blues

I'm a vampire, babe,
suckin' blood from the earth
I'm a vampire, baby,
suckin' blood from the earth.
Well, I'm a vampire, babe,
sell you twenty barrels worth.

I'm a black bat, babe,
bangin' on your window pane
I'm a black bat, baby,
bangin' on your window pane.
Well, I'm a black bat, babe,
I need my high octane.

Good times are comin',
I hear it everywhere I go
Good times are comin',
I hear it everywhere I go.
Good times are comin',
but they sure comin' slow.

I'm a vampire, babe,
suckin' blood from the earth
I'm a vampire, baby,
suckin' blood from the earth.
Well, I'm a vampire, babe,
sell you twenty barrels worth.

Good times are comin'.
[ ? ]

Neil Young

Así lo dice Dan Deacon, Spiderman of the Rings

Wham City

There is a mountain of snow, up past the big glen

We have a castle enclosed, there is a fountain
Out of the fountain flows gold, into a huge hand
That hand is held by a bear who had a sick band

Of ghosts and cats
And pigs and bats
With brooms and bats
And wigs and rats
And play big dogs like queens and kings
And everyone plays drums and sings

About big sharks
Sharp swords
Beast bees
Bead lords
Sweet cakes
Mace lakes

O ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma

I hope in my heart that we on a whole
Will die and the earth be left alone
Just beast and bee and fish and tree
This hope I wish will someday be
That bacteria will have ate our remains
That all knowledge of us has decayed
Our burden raised the world set free
The earth returns to land and sea
Our buildings burned and highways gone
I love my friends and everyone
but we've had our chance let's move aside
let time wash us out with the tide

Dan Deacon

Los principios

Prayer for a Good Dead


Great Spirit, I am unworthy;
My species has disgraced itself.
Of all the species that live, or have ever lived,
Mine is the lowliest.
Lower than the flowers who fill the air with sweet pollen,
Lower than the trees who encircle the Earth with their roots,
Lower than the insects, rulers of Earth
Since the beginning of time,
Lower than the darting fish,
Lower than the soaring birds,
Lower than the four-legged creatures,
Who are the beating heart of the living Earth.

Great Spirit, my shame is as deep as the ocean,
And my sadness is unbeareble.
I pray for enlightenment,
But fear that my prayer is too late.
Great Spirit, if this be so, then I pray for extinction. [of the human race]
Let my species become extinct, and vanish from the Earth.
Let my loins be barren,
Let my seed not sprout,
Let the race of men fall like leaves.
Let my fields grow wild,
Let my fences crumble,
Let my cities turn to dust, and become forests.
Let the grass drink my blood;
Let my body be food for worms.
Great Spirit, let me die, that the Earth may live.
