    letra de Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?

    He sits in your room, his tomb with a fist full of tacks
    Preoccupied with his vengeance
    Cursin' the dead that can't answer him back
    You know he has no intentions
    Of looking your way, unless it's to say
    That he needs you to test his inventions.
    Please crawl out your window
    Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
    How can you say he will haunt you
    You can go back to him any time you want to.
    He looks so truthful, is this how he feels
    Trying to peel the moon and expose it
    With his business-like anger and bloodhounds that kneel
    If he needs a third eye he just grows it
    He just needs you to talk or to hand him his chalk
    Or pick it up after he throws it.
    Please crawl out your window
    Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
    How can you say he will haunt you
    You can go back to him any time you want to.
    He looks so righteous while your face is so changed
    Are you frightened of the box you keep him in
    While his genocide fools and friends rearrange
    Their religion of the little ten women
    That backs up their views but your face is so bruised
    Come on out the dark is beginning.
    Please crawl out your window
    Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
    How can you say he will haunt you
    You can go back to him any time you want to.

  12. I Want YouVer letra

    letra de I Want You

    The guilty undertaker sighs,
    The lonely organ grinder cries,
    The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
    The cracked bells and washed-out horns
    Blow into my face with scorn,
    But it's not that way,
    I wasn't born to lose you.
    I want you, I want you,
    I want you so bad,
    Honey, I want you.
    The drunken politician leaps
    Upon the street where mothers weep
    And the saviors who are fast asleep,
    They wait for you.
    And I wait for them to interrupt
    Me drinkin' from my broken cup
    And ask me to
    Open up the gate for you.
    I want you, I want you,
    I want you so bad,
    Honey, I want you.
    Now all my fathers, they've gone down,
    True love they've been without it.
    But all their daughters put me down
    Cause I don't think about it.
    Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
    And talk with my chambermaid.
    She knows that I'm not afraid
    To look at her.
    She is good to me
    And there's nothing she doesn't see.
    She knows where I'd like to be
    But it doesn't matter.
    I want you, I want you,
    I want you so bad,
    Honey, I want you.
    Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
    He spoke to me, I took his flute.
    No, I wasn't very cute to him,
    Was I?
    But I did it, though, because he lied
    Because he took you for a ride
    And because time was on his side
    And because I
    I want you, I want you,
    I want you so bad,
    Honey, I want you.

    letra de All Along the Watchtower

    "There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
    "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
    Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
    None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
    "No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
    "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
    But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
    So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
    All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
    While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
    Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
    Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

    letra de If Not for You

    If not for you,
    Babe, I couldn't find the door,
    Couldn't even see the floor,
    I'd be sad and blue,
    If not for you.
    If not for you,
    Babe, I'd lay awake all night,
    Wait for the mornin' light
    To shine in through,
    But it would not be new,
    If not for you.
    If not for you
    My sky would fall,
    Rain would gather too.
    Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
    I'd be lost if not for you,
    And you know it's true.
    If not for you
    My sky would fall,
    Rain would gather too.
    Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
    Oh! What would I do
    If not for you.
    If not for you,
    Winter would have no spring,
    Couldn't hear the robin sing,
    I just wouldn't have a clue,
    Anyway it wouldn't ring true,
    If not for you.

    letra de I Shall Be Released

    They say evrything can be replaced,
    Yet every distance is not near.
    So I remember every face
    Of every man who put me here.
    I see my light come shining
    From the west onto the east.
    Any day now, any day how,
    I shall be released.
    They say every man needs protection,
    They say every man must fall.
    Yet I swear I see my reflection
    Some place so high above this wall.
    I see my light come shining
    From the west onto the east.
    Any day now, any day how,
    I shall be released.
    Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
    Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
    All day long I hear him shout so loud,
    Crying out that he was framed.
    I see my light come shining
    From the west onto the east.
    Any day now, any day how,
    I shall be released.

    letra de Forever Young

    May God bless and keep you always
    May your wishes all come true
    May you always do for others
    And let others do for you
    May you build a ladder to the stars
    And climb on every rung
    May you stay forever young
    Forever young, forever young
    May you stay forever young.
    May you grow up to be righteous
    May you grow up to be true
    May you always know the truth
    And see the lights surrounding you
    May you always be courageous
    Stand upright and be strong
    May you stay forever young
    Forever young, forever young
    May you stay forever young.
    May your hands always be busy
    May your feet always be swift
    May you have a strong foundation
    When the winds of changes shift
    May your heart always be joyful
    And may your song always be sung
    May you stay forever young
    Forever young, forever young
    May you stay forever young.

    letra de Hurricane

    Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
    Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
    She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
    Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
    Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
    The man the authorities came to blame
    For somethin' that he never done.
    Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
    The champion of the world.
    Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
    And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously.
    "I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
    "I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand.
    I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
    "One of us had better call up the cops."
    And so Patty calls the cops
    And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
    In the hot New Jersey night.
    Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
    Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around.
    Number one contender for the middleweight crown
    Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
    When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
    Just like the time before and the time before that.
    In Paterson that's just the way things go.
    If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
    'Less you want to draw the heat.
    Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
    Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
    He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
    They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
    And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
    Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
    So they took him to the infirmary
    And though this man could hardly see
    They told him that he could identify the guilty men.
    Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in,
    Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
    The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
    Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
    Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane,
    The man the authorities came to blame
    For somethin' that he never done.
    Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
    The champion of the world.
    Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
    Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
    While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
    And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
    "Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
    "Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
    "You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
    "Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
    "Don't forget that you are white."
    Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
    Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
    We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
    Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
    You'll be doin' society a favor.
    That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver.
    We want to put his ass in stir
    We want to pin this triple murder on him
    He ain't no Gentleman Jim."
    Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
    But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
    It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
    And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
    Up to some paradise
    Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
    And ride a horse along a trail.
    But then they took him to the jailhouse
    Where they trialed a man into a mouse.
    All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
    The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
    The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
    To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
    And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
    No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
    And though they could not produce the gun,
    The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
    And the all-white jury agreed.
    Rubin Carter was falsely tried.
    The crime was murder "one," guess who testified?
    Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
    And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
    How can the life of such a man
    Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
    To see him obviously framed
    Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
    Where justice is a game.
    Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
    Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
    While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
    An innocent man in a living hell.
    That's the story of the Hurricane,
    But it won't be over till they clear his name
    And give him back the time he's done.
    Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
    The champion of the world.

  5. Changing of the GuardsVer letra

    letra de Changing of the Guards

    Sixteen years,
    Sixteen banners united over the field
    Where the good shepherd grieves.
    Desperate men, desperate women divided,
    Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
    Fortune calls.
    I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
    Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
    She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
    On midsummer's eve, near the tower.
    The cold-blooded moon.
    The captain waits above the celebration
    Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
    Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
    The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
    They shaved her head.
    She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
    A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
    I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
    Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.
    I stumbled to my feet.
    I rode past destruction in the ditches
    With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
    Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
    Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
    The palace of mirrors
    Where dog soldiers are reflected,
    The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
    The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
    Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.
    She wakes him up
    Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
    Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
    She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.
    He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
    Gentlemen, he said,
    I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
    I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
    But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
    Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.
    Peace will come
    With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
    But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
    And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
    Between the King and the Queen of Swords.

    letra de Gotta Serve Somebody

    You may be an ambassador to England or France,
    You may like to gamble, you might like to dance,
    You may be the heavyweight champion of the world,
    You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls
    [Chorus:]
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
    Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody,
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
    You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage,
    You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage,
    You may be a business man or
    Some high degree thief,
    They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief
    [Chorus:]
    You may be a state trooper, you might be a young turk,
    You may be the head of some big TV network,
    You may be rich or poor,
    You may be blind or lame,
    You may be living in another country under another name
    [Chorus:]
    You may be a construction worker working on a home,
    You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
    You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
    You might be somebody's landlord,
    You might even own banks
    [Chorus:]
    You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride,
    You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side,
    You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair,
    You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir
    [Chorus:]
    Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk,
    Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk,
    You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread,
    You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed
    [Chorus:]
    You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy,
    You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy,
    You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray,
    You may call me anything but no matter what you say
    [Chorus:]

  7. Blind Willie McTellVer letra

    letra de Blind Willie McTell

    Seen the arrow on the doorpost
    Saying, "This land is condemned
    All the way from New Orleans
    To Jerusalem. "
    I traveled through East Texas
    Where many martyrs fell
    And I know no one can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie Mctell
    Well, I heard the hoot owl singing
    As they were taking down the tents
    The stars above the barren trees
    Were his only audience
    Them charcoal gypsy maidens
    Can strut their feathers well
    But nobody can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie Mctell
    See them big plantations burning
    Hear the cracking of the whips
    Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
    (And) see the ghosts of slavery ships
    I can hear them tribes a-moaning
    (I can) hear the undertaker's bell
    (Yeah), nobody can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie Mctell
    There's a woman by the river
    With some fine young handsome man
    He's dressed up like a squire
    Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
    There's a chain gang on the highway
    I can hear them rebels yell
    And I know no one can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie Mctell
    Well, God is in heaven
    And we all want what's his
    But power and greed and corruptible seed
    Seem to be all that there is
    I'm gazing out the window
    Of the St. James Hotel
    And I know no one can sing the blues
    Like Blind Willie Mctell

    letra de Everything Is Broken

    Broken lines, broken strings,
    Broken threads, broken springs,
    Broken idols, broken heads,
    People sleeping in broken beds.
    Ain't no use jiving
    Ain't no use joking
    Everything is broken.
    Broken bottles, broken plates,
    Broken switches, broken gates,
    Broken dishes, broken parts,
    Streets are filled with broken hearts.
    Broken words never meant to be spoken,
    Everything is broken.
    Bridge: Seem like every time you stop and turn around
    Something else just hit the ground
    Broken cutters, broken saws,
    Broken buckles, broken laws,
    Broken bodies, broken bones,
    Broken voices on broken phones.
    Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
    Everything is broken.
    Bridge: Every time you leave and go off someplace
    Things fall to pieces in my face
    Broken hands on broken ploughs,
    Broken treaties, broken vows,
    Broken pipes, broken tools,
    People bending broken rules.
    Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking,
    Everything is broken.
