Gin Blossoms - Till I hear it from you

Letra de la canción

I didn't ask

They shouldn't have told me

At first I'd laugh, but now

It's sinking in fast

Whatever they've sold me

Well baby I don't want to take advice from fools

I'll just figure everything is cool

Until I hear it from youIt gets hard

The memory's faded

Who gets what they say

It's likely they're just jealous and jaded

Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools

I'll just figure everything is cool

Until I hear it from you

Until I hear it from you

I can't let it get me off

Or break up my train of thought

As far as I know, nothing's wrong

Until I hear it from you

Still thinking about not living without it

Outside looking in

Til we're talking about it, not stepping around it

Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools

I'll just figure everything is cool

Until I hear it from you...

Squeeze - Up the junction



Letra de la canción
I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from clapham
Out on a windy common
That night I aint forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I may be
We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The railway arms were missing
But love had got us hooked up
And all our time it took up
I got a job with stanley
He said Id come in handy
And started me on monday
So I had a bath on sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said shed seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her
This morning at 4:50
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another
And now shes two years older
Her mothers with a soldier
She left me when my drinking
Became a proper stinging
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the telly
No more nights nappies smelling
Alone here in the kitchen
I feel theres something missing
Id beg for some forgiveness
But beggings not my business
And she wont write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so its my assumption
Im really up the junction

The Auters - Showgirl

Letra de la canción
I took a show girl
for my bride
Thought my life
would be right
Took her bowling
got her high
Got myself a showgirl bride
Took a job on the side
In a health shop
keeps me well
Got my mantra for life
Got my karma
And a showgirl bride
All my life
All her life
All our life
I married a showgirl
That's for life
She can't work
in the wintertime
I can't work anytime now
Go to libraries all the while
Looking for a notice
Looking for a name
All my life
All her life
All our life
I married a showgirl
That's for life
I took a showgirl
For my bride
Sprinkled stardust
on my wife
Took her bowling
got her high
Got myself a showgirl bride
Don't you recognise me?

The Pixies - Hey!

Letra de la canción

hey

been trying to meet you

hey

must be a devil between usor whores in my head

whores at my door

whores in my bed

but hey

where

have you

been if you go i will surely die

we're chained

uh said the man to the lady

uh said the lady to the man she adored

and the whores like a choir

go uh all night

and mary ain't you tired of this

uh

is

the

sound

that the mother makes when the baby breaks

we're chained

Ocean Colour Scene - Up on the downside

Letra de la canción

This England made me between the war and rockets flying.

And from the crib it saves me and teach me wrong from right.

The world was talking never got its chance to say.

Too much talking nobody hears a word you say.

You won't see and baby now I won't hear,

My communications only last throughout the yearand

half of what we're saying is half-way inner truth.

Cos my communications for a million hearts and fools.

I am a witness to a land of a million fools.

All placing bets on life and hate the ones who lose.

And all lonely never get the chance to say.

That the one and only would be the chance to even play.

You won't see and baby now I won't hear,

My communications only last throughout the yearand

half of what we're saying is half-way inner truth.

Cos my communications for a million hearts and fools.

Hello Monday, the weekends just a blur.

I been burning bridges and now I'm begging at your door,

So keep on working cos its a chance for me to play.

Too much talking when you believe the words I say.

You won't see and baby now I won't hear,

My communications only last throughout the yearand

half of what we're saying is half-way inner truth.

Blind communications for a million hearts and fools.

Manic Street Preachers - If you tolerate this then your children will be next


Letra de la canción
The future teaches you to be alone
the present to be afraid and cold
'So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists'
Bullets for your brain today
but we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
turns me into a gutless wonder
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next,
will be next will be next will be next
Gravity keeps my head down
or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain
Holes in your head today
but I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas but not with real intent
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next,
will be next will be next will be next
'And on the streets tonight - an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days'
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next,
will be next will be next will be next
