[Q1.2/o1] Eddie Brickell & New Bohemians

- CIRCLE -

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
On you touching ground with us, but

I quit -- I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems

And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye

Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet
The colors slip into the sky

But I don't know that means you and I are
That means you and

REFRÃO

And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself nobody else can say

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around

[Q3.3/o1] Badly Drawn Boy

- YOU WERE RIGHT -

And you,
Were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery
Well the good things are never free
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
And I,
Was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
You could follow me for weeks
And I'm not going anywhere
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Till the day that they are gone

And I
Just had a dream the other night
I was married to the Queen
And Madonna lived next door
I think she took a shine to me
And the kids were all grown up
But I had to turn her down
'Cos I was still in love with you

I'm turning Madonna down
I'm calling it my best move
I'll get her tickets to what she needs

I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died
And the night Jeff Buckley died
And the night Kurt Cobain died
And the night John Lennon died
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone
And that was a lot of nights
And that was a lot of lives
Who lost the tickets to what they need?

And I
Was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life
Always hoped you'd be my wife
But I never found the time
For the question to arrive
I just disguised it in a song

And songs are never quite the answer
Just a soundtrack to a life
That is over all too soon
Helps to turn the days to night
While I was wrong and you were right

And this was a lesson learned
I'm happy to be your fool
And get you tickets to what you need

I'm turning the lights down low
I'm ready to make my move
I'll get you tickets to what you need

[Q3.1/o1] Pedro Javier Hermosilla

- POR UN RATITO EN TUS OÍDOS -

Siempre es atardecer
en esta isla
nunca miro las mañanas
le debo al amanecer
todos mis dias
pero siempre se me escapa

Se va como tú
que acabas huyendo del mar
donde busqué tu olvido
si no te puedo tocar
sólo me queda el consuelo de estar

Por un ratito en tus oidos
en tus oidos
Por un ratito en tus oidos

si no te puedo ver

Por un ratito en tus oidos
en tus oidos
imaginándote

Se puede morir la fe
de mi universo
y no dejaría de creerte
me puedo morir de sed
si no te bebo
y no dejaria de quererte

Te puedo llorar borrar
lo que queda de ti
no quiero ese vacio s
i no te puedo tocar
me agarraría al consuelo
de estar

Por un ratito en tus oidos...

[Q1.2/o1] Dionne Warwick

- HEARTBREAKER (Bee Gees) -

I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me cryin' like I thought
I would never be
Love is believin' but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around
And I .....

Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter what ever you do
I made a life out of lovin' you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm cryin' in the rain
I could be searchin' my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain, when will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Gotta get out of the spell that
I'm under My love for you

*Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by

This world may end Not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin' for you
And that can not be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin' me

Out of my mind
I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try
Or should we say goodbye

REFRÃO

Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, ooh....

[Q3.3/o1] The Shins

- PHANTOM LIMB -

Frozen into coats,
White girls of the North,
Filed past one, five and one
They are the fabled lambs,
A Sunday ham,
The ancient snow.

And they could float above the grass,
In circles if they tried,
A latent power I'm known to hide,
To keep some hope alive,
That a girl like I could ever try,
Could ever try.

So we just skirt the hallway signs,
A phantom and a fly,
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.

And weakened falling eyes,
In cheap shots from the tribe,

And we're often in Marcus' porch again,
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes,
And pilfered booze.

We wandered through the mama's house,
And the milk from the window lights,
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
This is that foreign land,
With the sprayed on tans,
And it all feels fine,
Beats circus slime,

So, when they tap our mundane heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

Oooh waooo waooo
(...)

- SUPERMAN (IT'S NOT EASY) - (=VIDEO NÃO OFICIAL=)

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me
