The way it is

 

(*) Bruce Hornsby

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says, "get a job"

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them

Said, hey little boy you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said, hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules?

He said, "son
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them"

Oh yeah

well, they passed a law in '64
To give those who…

Soy todo lo que recuerdo

 (*) Gabo Ferro

Soy todo lo que recuerdo y vos
Todo lo que has olvidado
Yo me muevo entre las cosas
Vos entre fantasmas cansados

Cuando la cárcel se desarmó
La penitencia fue amarte
No se fuga uno para atrás
Se fuga para adelante

El diablo tiene una cola
Que no la puede ocultar
Por más disfraz que te pongas
Siempre se te va a notar

Yo soy todo lo que recuerdo y vos
Todo lo que has olvidado
Yo me muevo entre las cosas
Vos entre fantasmas cansados

La verdad es perro fiel
Que vive en todas las casas
Que muerde a quien no lo atiende
Y defiende al que lo guarda

El manjar que los corderos
Sueñan un día comer
Es lobo crudo con pelo vivo
A punto de comer

Yo soy todo lo que recuerdo y vos
Todo lo que has olvidado
Yo me muevo entre las cosas
Vos entre fantasmas cansados

Yo soy todo lo que recuerdo y vos
Todo lo que has olvidado
Yo me muevo entre las cosas
Vos entre fantasmas cansados

Yo soy todo lo que recuerdo y vos
Todo lo que has olvidado
Yo me muevo entre las cosas
Vos entre fantasmas cansados

Dear boy

 (*) Paul Mac Carney

So bold and fine
I've known you for some time
Whole life changed while
Bones like yours and mine
Go dance in the woods and
Down we go, down, down
Oh boy, you're mine
Do you remember old times?

Oh dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl too
Oh dear boy, it's so hollow without you
In a world with everything but it won't do

Oh dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl too
Oh dear boy, so shallow without you
It's our time for everything and I call you

Sweet love of mine, destruction ain't a crime
For those who find love as a game like you and I
Go dance in the waters of all the tears we've cried
Oh boy, we're fine, do you remember our time?

Oh dear…

My bacon roll

 (*) Mark Knofler

I never got the elbow,
Just telling you
Before you go,
Only telling you,
Just so you know.

I never got the elbow,
I slung it in
Had it up to here,
I just pulled the pin,
Went and had a beer.

I used to love a bit of folding
Just for getting by
A wad of cash
Now that's out of date
And so am I
As pie and mash.

S'cuse me, s'cuse me,
Have you got my roll?
My roll? My bacon roll?

The time they took us bowling,
What was that about?
I thought what a joke.
I just went out
And had a smoke.

Then the white water rafting,
Just some know-it-all
With the new regime
There to show us all
How to build a team.

He says, "what do you think we're doing?"
I said, "Don't ask me
I've no idea."
They all laughed at that.
That was pretty funny actually.

S'cuse me, s'cuse me,
Have you got my roll?
My roll? My bacon roll?
Have you got my roll?
My roll? My bacon roll?

I could order you a toastie
Just like that one there
Or the same in plain white bread.
When you're dealing with a toastie,
What do you prefer:
Brown or red?

I never got the elbow,
Just telling you
Before you go,
Only telling you,
Just so you know

People have the power

 (*) Patti Smith

I was dreaming in my dreaming
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleeping, it was broken
But my dream, it lingered near

In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry

That the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools
From the meek, the grace’s shower
It’s decreed: the people rule

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions and laying arms
To waste in the dust

In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

Where there were deserts I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
And the leopard and the lamb
Lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found

I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows a purer view
As I lay down to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you

People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It’s decreed: the people rule
It’s decreed: the people rule
Listen. I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the earth’s revolution

We have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power

The power to dream, to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It’s decreed: the people rule
It’s decreed: the people rule
We have the power
We have the power
The people have the power
We have the power

Dust in the wind

 (*) Kerry Livgren

I close my eyes
Only for a moment 
And the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes 
That curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water 
In an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground
Though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind 
All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on
Nothing last forever 
But the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money 
Won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind 
Everything is dust in the wind

Amor descartable

 (*) Federico José Moura / Julio Luis Moura

Encontrarte en algún lugar
Aunque sea muy tarde
Tantos odios para curar,
Tanto amor descartable

Escucharte a mi lado hablar
Aunque estemos distantes
Es el mundo tan poco sensual,
Que no puedo aliviarme

Vos sos mi obsesión,
Quisiera atraparte
Vos sos mi destrucción,
No puedo dejar de pensar

Tengo que ordenar
Esta confusión,
Quero estar libre
Para un nuevo amor

Como quien pierde una estrella

 (*) Humberto Estrada Olivas 

Te quiero
Lo digo como un lamento
Como un quejido que el viento
Se lleva por donde quiera

Te quiero
Qué pena haberte perdido
Como quien pierde una estrella
Que se le va al infinito

Ay a a a a ay
Ay a a a a ay

Quiero que se oiga mi llanto
¡Cómo me dolió perderte!
Después de quererte tanto

¡Ay!
Después de quererla tanto
Diosito dame consuelo
Para sacarme de adentro
Esto que me está matando

Ay ay ay a a a a a a a ay
Ay a a a a a a a a ay

Te quiero
Lo digo como un lamento
Como un quejido que el viento
Se lleva por donde quiera

Te quiero
Qué pena haberte perdido
Como quien pierde una estrella
Que se le va al infinito

Ay a a a a ay
Ay a a a a ay

Quiero que se oiga mi llanto
¡Cómo me dolió perderte!
Después de quererte tanto

¡Ay!
Después de quererla tanto
Diosito dame consuelo
Para sacarme de adentro
Esto que me está matando

Ay ay ay a a a a a a a ay
Ay a a a a a a a a ay

Te quiero
