    letra de Calling Elvis

    Calling elvis - is anybody home
    Calling elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Or can he come to the phone
    Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

    Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
    Oh love me tender - baby dob't be cruel
    Return to sender - treat me like a fool

    Calling elvis - is anybody home
    Calling elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Or can he come to the phone
    Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

    Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan
    You gotta tell him - he's still the man
    Long distance baby - so far from home
    Don't you think maybe you could put him on

    Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
    Oh love me tender - baby dob't be cruel
    Return to sender - treat me like a fool

    Calling elvis - is anybody home
    Calling elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Or can he come to the phone
    Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

    letra de Walk of life

    Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
    Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
    Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
    Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
    He got the action, he got the motion
    Oh Yeah the boy can play
    Dedication devotion
    Turning all the night time into the day

    He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
    He do the song about the knife
    He do the walk, he do the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life

    Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story
    Hand me down my walkin' shoes
    Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
    Backbeat the talkin' blues
    He got the action, he got the motion
    Oh Yeah the boy can play
    Dedication devotion
    Turning all the night time into the day

    He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
    He do the song about the knife
    He do the walk, he do the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life

    Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
    Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
    Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
    Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
    He got the action, he got the motion
    Oh Yeah the boy can play
    Dedication devotion
    Turning all the night time into the day

    And after all the violence and double talk
    There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
    You do the walk, you do the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life

  3. Heavy fuelVer letra 5:23

    [X]

    letra de Heavy fuel

    Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
    Worst hangover that I ever had
    It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
    Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
    Cause if you wanna run cool
    If you wanna run cool
    If you wanna run cool, you got to run
    On heavy, heavy fuel

    My life makes perfect sense
    Lust and food and violence
    S** and money are my major kicks
    Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks
    Cause if you wanna run cool
    Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
    On heavy, heavy fuel

    My chick loves a man who's strong
    The things she'll do to turn me on
    I love the babes, don't get me wrong
    Hey, that's why I wrote this song

    I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread
    Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
    When my ugly big car won't climb this hill
    I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill
    Cause if you wanna run cool
    If you wanna run cool
    Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
    On heavy, heavy fuel

  4. Romeo and JulietVer letra 10:05

    [X]

    letra de Romeo and Juliet

    A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
    Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
    Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
    Says something like you and me babe how about it?

    Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme me a heart attack
    He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
    You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
    Anyway what you gonna do about it?

    Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
    And I bet and you exploded in my heart
    And I forget I forget the movie song
    When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

    Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
    Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
    And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
    How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

    Well you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
    You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
    You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin, yeah
    Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

    Juliet when we made love you used to cry
    You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
    There's a place for us you know the movie song
    When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

    I can't do the talk like they talk on TV
    And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
    I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
    I can't do anything except be in love with you

    And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
    All I do is keep the beat and bad company
    All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
    Julie I'd do the stars with you any time

    Juliet when we made love you used to cry
    You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
    There's a place for us you know the movie song
    When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

    A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
    Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
    Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
    Says something like you and me babe how about it?

  5. Private InvestigationsVer letra 9:43

    [X]

    letra de Private Investigations

    It's a mystery to me - the game commences
    For the usual fee - plus expenses
    Confidential information - is a diary
    This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry
    I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
    You get to meet all sorts in this line of work
    Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
    And when I find the reason I still can't get used to it
    And what have you got at the end of the day?
    What have you got to take away?
    A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
    Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes
    Scarred for life - nocompensation
    Private investigations

  6. Your latest trickVer letra 5:35

    [X]

    letra de Your latest trick

    All the late night bargains have been struck
    Between the satin beaus and their belles
    Prehistoric garbage trucks
    Have the city to themselves
    Echoes roars dinosaurs
    They're all doing the monster mash
    And most of the taxis and most of the whores
    Are only taking calls for cash
    I don't know how it happened
    It all took place so quick
    But all I can do is hand it to you
    And your latest trick

    Well now, my door was standing open
    Security was laid back and lax
    But it was only my heart that got broken
    You must have had a pass key made out of wax
    You played robbery with insolence
    And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lover's Lane
    And you never did have the intelligence to use
    The twelve keys hanging off of my chain
    I don't know how it happened
    It all took place so quick
    But all I can do is hand it to you
    And your latest trick

    Now it's past last call for alcohol
    Past recall has been here and gone
    The landlord, he finally paid us all
    The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
    And we're standing outside of this wonderland
    Looking so bereaved and so bereft
    Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
    The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
    I don't know how it happened
    It was faster than the eye could flick
    But all I can do is hand it to you
    And your latest trick

  7. On every streetVer letra 7:01

    [X]

    letra de On every street

    There's gotta be a record of you some place
    You gotta be on somebody's books
    The lowdown - a picture of your face
    Your injured looks

    The sacred and profane
    The pleasure and the pain
    Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
    And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

    A ladykiller - regulation tattoo
    Silver spurs on his heels
    Says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you
    She threw herself under my wheels
    Oh it's a dangerous road
    And a hazardous load
    And the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat
    And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

    A three-chord symphony crashes into space
    The moon is hanging upside down
    I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
    It's a ravenous town
    And you still refuse to be traced
    Seems to me such a waste
    And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
    And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

  8. You and your friendVer letra 6:46

    [X]

    letra de You and your friend

    Will you and your friend come around
    Are you and your friend gonna get on down
    Will you and your friend come around
    Or are you and your friend gonna let me down

    If you talk to one another
    I'm a hungry man
    Let me know one way or the other
    So I can make my plans

    Will you and your friend come around
    Are you and your friend gonna get on down
    Will you and your friend come around
    Or are you and your friend gonna let me down

    I relive the situation
    Still see in in my mind
    You got my imagination
    Working overtime

  9. Money for nothingVer letra 6:28

    [X]

    letra de Money for nothing

    (I want my MTV)

    Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
    You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
    That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
    Money for nothin' and your chicks for free.

    Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
    Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
    Maybe get a blister on your little finger
    Maybe get a blister on your thumb.

    We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
    We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'s.

    The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
    Yeah buddy that's his own hair
    That little faggot got his own jet airplane
    That little faggot, he's a millionaire

    We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
    We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'s.

    I shoulda learned to play the guitar
    I shoulda learned to play them drums
    Look at that mama she got it stickin' in the camera
    Man we could have some fun

    And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
    You bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
    Oh that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
    Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free.

    We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
    We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'s.

    Listen here
    Now that ain't workin' that's the way to do it
    You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
    That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
    Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
    Money for nothin' and the chicks for free
    (Get your) Money for nothin' and chicks for free
    Money for nothin' and the chicks for free (I want my, I want my MTV)
    Money for nothin' and the chicks for free

  10. Brothers in armsVer letra 8:55

    [X]

    letra de Brothers in arms

    These mist covered mountains
    Are a home now for me
    But my home is the lowlands
    And always will be
    Some day you'll return to
    Your valleys and your farms
    And you'll no longer burn
    To be brothers in arms

    Through these fields of destruction
    Baptisms of fire
    I've witnessed your suffering
    As the battle raged higher
    And though they did hurt me so bad
    In the fear and alarm
    You did not desert me
    My brothers in arms

    There's so many different worlds
    So many different suns
    And we have just one world
    But we live in different ones

    Now the sun's gone to hell
    And the moon's riding high
    Let me bid you farewell
    Every man has to die
    But it's written in the starlight
    And every line on your palm
    We're fools to make war
    On our brothers in arms
