    letra de Avalanche

    Well I stepped into an avalanche,
    It covered up my soul;
    When I am not this hunchback that you see,
    I sleep beneath the golden hill.
    You who wish to conquer pain,
    You must learn, learn to serve me well.
    You strike my side by accident
    As you go down for your gold.
    The cripple here that you clothe and feed
    Is neither starved nor cold;
    He does not ask for your company,
    Not at the centre, the centre of the world.
    When I am on a pedestal,
    You did not raise me there.
    Your laws do not compel me
    To kneel grotesque and bare.
    I myself am the pedestal
    For this ugly hump at which you stare.
    You who wish to conquer pain,
    You must learn what makes me kind;
    The crumbs of love that you offer me,
    They're the crumbs I've left behind.
    Your pain is no credential here,
    It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.
    I have begun to long for you,
    I who have no greed
    I have begun to ask for you,
    I who have no need.
    You say you've gone away from me,
    But I can feel you when you breathe.
    Do not dress in those rags for me,
    I know you are not poor
    You don't love me quite so fiercely now
    When you know that you are not sure,
    It is your turn, beloved,
    It is your flesh that I wear.

    letra de Dress rehearsal rag

    Four o'clock in the afternoon
    And I didn't feel like very much.
    I said to myself, "Where are you golden boy,
    Where is your famous golden touch?"
    I thought you knew where
    All of the elephants lie down,
    I thought you were the crown prince
    Of all the wheels in Ivory Town.
    Just take a look at your body now,
    There's nothing much to save
    And a bitter voice in the mirror cries,
    "Hey, Prince, you need a shave."
    Now if you can manage to get
    Your trembling fingers to behave,
    Why don't you try unwrapping
    A stainless steel razor blade?
    That's right, it's come to this,
    Yes it's come to this,
    And wasn't it a long way down,
    Wasn't it a strange way down?
    There's no hot water
    And the cold is running thin.
    Well, what do you expect from
    The kind of places you've been living in?
    Don't drink from that cup,
    It's all caked and cracked along the rim.
    That's not the electric light, my friend,
    That is your vision growing dim.
    Cover up your face with soap, there,
    Now you're Santa Claus.
    And you've got a gift for anyone
    Who will give you his applause.
    I thought you were a racing man,
    Ah, but you couldn't take the pace.
    That's a funeral in the mirror
    And it's stopping at your face.
    That's right, it's come to this,
    Yes it's come to this,
    And wasn't it a long way down,
    Ah wasn't it a strange way down?
    Once there was a path
    And a girl with chestnut hair,
    And you passed the summers
    Picking all of the berries that grew there
    There were times she was a woman,
    Oh, there were times she was just a child,
    And you held her in the shadows
    Where the raspberries grow wild.
    And you climbed the twilight mountains
    And you sang about the view,
    And everywhere that you wandered
    Love seemed to go along with you.
    That's a hard one to remember,
    Yes it makes you clench your fist.
    And then the veins stand out like highways,
    All along your wrist.
    And yes it's come to this,
    It's come to this,
    And wasn't it a long way down,
    Wasn't it a strange way down?
    You can still find a job,
    Go out and talk to a friend.
    On the back of every magazine
    There are those coupons you can send.
    Why don't you join the Rosicrucians,
    They can give you back your hope,
    You can find your love with diagrams
    On a plain brown envelope.
    But you've used up all your coupons
    Except the one that seems
    To be written on your wrist
    Along with several thousand dreams.
    Now Santa Claus comes forward,
    That's a razor in his mit
    And he puts on his dark glasses
    And he shows you where to hit
    And then the cameras pan,
    The stand in stunt man,
    Dress rehearsal rag,
    It's just the dress rehearsal rag,
    You know this dress rehearsal rag,
    It's just a dress rehearsal rag.

    [X]

    letra de Diamonds in the mine

    The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge,
    The man in white -- that's you -- says he has no friends.
    The river is swollen up with rusty cans
    And the trees are burning in your promised land.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox,
    And there are no grapes upon the vine,
    And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in the mine.
    Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb,
    You say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him.
    Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night,
    He was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox
    And there are no grapes upon the vine,
    And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in the mine.
    (You tell them now)
    Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the witch,
    Some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch,
    And the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride,
    He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox,
    Oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine,
    And there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in your mine.
    And there are no letters in the mailbox,
    And there are no grapes upon the vine,
    And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore,
    And there are no diamonds in your mine.

  5. Love calls you by your nameVer letra 5:37

    [X]

    letra de Love calls you by your name

    You thought that it could never happen
    To all the people that you became,
    Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame.
    But here, right here,
    Between the birthmark and the stain,
    Between the ocean and your open vein,
    Between the snowman and the rain,
    Once again, once again,
    Love calls you by your name.
    The women in your scrapbook
    Whom you still praise and blame,
    You say they chained you to your fingernails
    And you climb the halls of fame.
    Oh but here, right here,
    Between the peanuts and the cage,
    Between the darkness and the stage,
    Between the hour and the age,
    Once again, once again,
    Love calls you by your name.
    Shouldering your loneliness
    Like a gun that you will not learn to aim,
    You stumble into this movie house,
    Then you climb, you climb into the frame.
    Yes, and here, right here
    Between the moonlight and the lane,
    Between the tunnel and the train,
    Between the victim and his stain,
    Once again, once again,
    Love calls you by your name.
    I leave the lady meditating
    On the very love which I, I do not wish to claim,
    I journey down the hundred steps,
    But the street is still the very same.
    And here, right here,
    Between the dancer and his cane,
    Between the sailboat and the drain,
    Between the newsreel and your tiny pain,
    Once again, once again,
    Love calls you by your name.
    Where are you, Judy, where are you, Anne?
    Where are the paths your heroes came?
    Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away,
    Was I, was I only limping, was I really lame?
    Oh here, come over here,
    Between the windmill and the grain,
    Between the sundial and the chain,
    Between the traitor and her pain,
    Once again, once again,
    Love calls you by your name.

    letra de Famous blue raincoat

    It's four in the morning, the end of December
    I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
    New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
    There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
    I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
    You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
    Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
    She said that you gave it to her
    That night that you planned to go clear
    Did you ever go clear?
    Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
    Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
    You'd been to the station to meet every train
    And you came home without Lili Marlene
    And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
    And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
    Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
    One more thin gypsy thief
    Well I see Jane's awake
    She sends her regards.
    And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
    What can I possibly say?
    I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
    I'm glad you stood in my way.
    If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
    Well your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
    Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
    I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
    And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
    She said that you gave it to her
    That night that you planned to go clear
    Sincerely L Cohen

    letra de Sing another song, boys

    (Let's sing another song, boys, this one has grown old and bitter.)
    Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken,
    His ships they're all on fire.
    The moneylender's lovely little daughter
    Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire.
    She spies him through the glasses
    From the pawnshops of her wicked father.
    She hails him with a microphone
    That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her.
    She tempts him with a clarinet,
    She waves a Nazi dagger.
    She finds him lying in a heap;
    She wants to be his woman.
    He says, "Yes, I might go to sleep
    But kindly leave, leave the future,
    Leave it open. "
    He stands where it is steep,
    Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one,
    His hand upon his leather belt now
    Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner.
    And she will learn to touch herself so well
    As all the sails burn down like paper.
    And he has lit the chain
    Of his famous cigarillo.
    Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon,
    At least not the one that we're after;
    It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends,
    And it carries no survivors.
    But lets leave these lovers wondering
    Why they cannot have each other,
    And let's sing another song, boys,
    This one has grown old and bitter.

  8. Joan of arcVer letra 6:22

    [X]

    letra de Joan of arc

    Now the flames they followed joan of arc
    As she came riding through the dark;
    No moon to keep her armour bright,
    No man to get her through this very smoky night.
    She said, I'm tired of the war,
    I want the kind of work I had before,
    A wedding dress or something white
    To wear upon my swollen appetite.
    Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
    You know I've watched you riding every day
    And something in me yearns to win
    Such a cold and lonesome heroine.
    And who are you? she sternly spoke
    To the one beneath the smoke.
    Why, I'm fire, he replied,
    And I love your solitude, I love your pride.
    Then fire, make your body cold,
    I'm going to give you mine to hold,
    Saying this she climbed inside
    To be his one, to be his only bride.
    And deep into his fiery heart
    He took the dust of joan of arc,
    And high above the wedding guests
    He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.
    It was deep into his fiery heart
    He took the dust of joan of arc,
    And then she clearly understood
    If he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
    I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
    I saw the glory in her eye.
    Myself I long for love and light,
    But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
