[Q3.2/o1] Mikel Erentxun

- ESOS DÍAS -

Yo, con mi pesar
mi calma de rubí
y mi camisa que antes era gris

Un ademán que intento controlar
pero entiendo que ya no es igual
que estoy aquí y tú no estás

Siempre pienso en esos días que pasaste por mi vida
y que palabra y que canción te gustaría
Siempre pienso en esos días que tu piel era la mía
y como fué que no encontramos la salida

Tú,no llamas más
tu calle de la paz es casi casi más que una señal
un vendaval de arena sin el mar
donde hubo un puerto ya no está
y no hablas más y ya es de noche en la ciudad

Siempre pienso en esos días que pasaste por mi vida
y que palabra y que canción te gustaría
Siempre pienso en esos días que tu piel era la mía
y como fué que no encontramos la salida

Tu recuerdo en mi sofá
y el tiempo que se va
tratando de pensar se me quema
un cigarrillo más

- A PRISONER OF THE PAST -

I'm a ghost to you now, I'm someone you don't really wish to see
I'm a ghost to you now, a shadow since you turned your back on me

Maybe you'll learn - why it was I shook
Baby your turn - to wear the haunted look

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get Ready, get ready to pay
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past

This ghost is here to stay
He survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to say -
"I've found my niche at last
A prisoner of the past"

Anywhere that you go,
I'm going to be the welcome there for you
Everywhere that you go
be certain that the table's set for two!

Maybe you'll learn - there's nowhere you can go
Baby you'll turn - as white, as white as snow

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get Ready, get ready to pay
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past

This ghost is here to stay
He survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to say -
"I've found my niche at last
A prisoner of the past"

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get Ready, get ready to pay
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past

[Q3.3/o1] Just Jack

-STARZ IN THEIR EYES-

they'll be making sure you stay amused
they'll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe you'll make the evening news

And when you're tripping over your dreams
They'll keep you down by any means
and by the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And they'll just put you in the spotlight
And hope that you'll do alright
Or maybe not

Now Why do you wanna go put starz in their eyes?
Why you wanna go put starz in their eyes?
so why you wanna go put starz in their eyes?
now why you wanna go put starz in there eyes
starz in their eyes?

Remember they said you'd show them all
Emphasise the rise but not the fall
And now you're playing a shopping mall

Your mum and dad they can't believe
What you appear to have achieved
While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And now the tabloids use your face
To document your fall from grace
And then they'll tell you that that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story but they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Starz in their eyes?

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story but they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

(When I grow up im going to be famous)

Behind the steel barrier and sequence and glitter
Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter
Each of them a bitter bullshitter,
Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamour, getting lost in the camera
Well footprints are fools gold, diamonds crusts on their one off plimsolls
So little time for these one off arseholes
Rigour mortis Ken and Barbie dolls,
A pair of big shades and a push up bra,
It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars,
That you've come a long way from the place that you started
So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted

Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger
Uncutting you nose clean, coating you bladder
A whole lot happier a whole lot sadder,
Used to be satisfied but now you feel like Mick Jagger,

--For Extended Version-------------------------------------------------------

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines
And Saturday night's drunken dreams
