   letra de Telegraph Road

   A long time ago came a man on a track
   Walking thirty miles with a pack on his back
   And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
   Made a home in the wilderness
   He built a cabin and a winter store
   And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
   And the other travellers came riding down the track
   And they never went further, no, they never went back
   Then came the churches then came the schools
   Then came the lawyers then came the rules
   Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
   And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
   Then came the mines - then came the ore
   Then there was the hard times then there was a war
   Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
   Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
   Like a rolling river. ..
   And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
   People driving home from the factories
   There's six lanes of traffic
   Three lanes moving slow. ..
   I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
   I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
   Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
   We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
   And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
   They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
   You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
   All the way down the telegraph road
   You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
   When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
   You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
   Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
   But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
   From out of this darkness and into the day
   From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
   From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
   Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
   I've seen desperation explode into flames
   And I don't want to see it again. ..
   From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
   All the way down the telegraph road

2. Sultans of SwingVer letra

   letra de Sultans of Swing

   You get a shiver in the dark,
   It's raining in the park, but meantime:
   South of the river, you stop and you hold everything.
   A band is blowin' Dixie, double-four time.
   You feel alright when you hear that music play.
   
   Now You step inside, but you don't see too many faces.
   Comin' in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down.
   Competition in other places...
   But the horns, they blowin' that sound.
   Way on down south,
   Way on down south, London-town
   
   Check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords.
   But it's strictly rhythm; he doesn't want to make it cry or sing.
   If any old guitar is all he can afford,
   When he gets up under the lights to play his thing.
   
   And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene.
   He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright.
   He can play the honky tonk like anything,
   Savin' it up for Friday night.
   With the Sultans,
   With the Sultans of Swing
   
   And a crowd of young boys, they're fooling around in the corner,
   Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles.
   The don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band.
   It ain't what they call rock and roll.
   And the Sultans,
   Yes the Sultans play Creole.
   
   And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone.
   And says at last, just as the time bell rings,
   "Goodnight, now it's time to go home."
   And he makes it fast, with one more thing:
   "We're the Sultans,
   "We are the Sultans of Swing."
3. Love Over GoldVer letra

   letra de Love Over Gold

   You walk out on the high wire
   You're a dancer on thin ice
   You pay no heed to the danger
   And less to advice
   Your footsteps are forbidden
   But with a knowledge of your sin
   You throw your love to all the strangers
   And caution to the wind
   And you go dancing through doorways
   Just to see what you will find
   Leaving nothing to interfere
   With the crazy balance of your mind
   And when you finally reappear
   At the place where you came in
   You've thrown your love to all the strangers
   And caution to the wind
   It takes love over gold
   And mind over matter
   To do what you do that you must
   When the things that you hold
   Can fall and be shattered
   Or run through your fingers like dust
4. Romeo and JulietVer letra

   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?

   letra de Private Investigations

   It's a mystery to me, the game commences
   For the usual fee, plus expenses
   Confidential information, it's in a diary
   This is my investigation, it's not a public inquary
   
   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 your eyes
   
   Scarred for life, no compensation

    letra de Sailing to Philadelphia

    I am jeremiah dixon
    I am a geordie boy
    A glass of wine with you, sir
    And the ladies i'll enjoy
    All durham and northumberland
    Is measured up by my own hand
    It was my fate from birth
    To make my mark upon the earth...
    
    He calls me charlie mason
    A stargazer am i
    It seems that i was born
    To chart the evening sky
    They'd cut me out for baking bread
    But i had other dreams instead
    This baker's boy from the west country
    Would join the royal society...
    
    We are sailing to philadelphia
    A world away from the coaly tyne
    Sailing to philadelphia
    To draw the line
    The mason-dixon line
    
    Now you're a good surveyor, dixon
    But i swear you'll make me mad
    The west will kill us both
    You gullible geordie lad
    You talk of liberty
    How can america be free
    A geordie and a baker's boy
    In the forests of the iroquois...
    
    Now hold your head up, mason
    See america lies there
    The morning tide has raised
    The capes of delaware
    Gome up and feel the sun
    A new morning is begun
    Another day will make it clear
    Why your stars should guide us here...
    
    We are sailing to philadelphia
    A world away from the coaly tyne
    Sailing to philadelphia
    To draw the line
    The mason-dixon line

18. What It IsVer letra
    

    [X]

    letra de What It Is

    The drinking dens are spilling out
    There's staggering in the square
    There's lads and lasses falling about
    And a crackling in the air
    Down around the dungeon doors
    The shelters and the queues
    Everybody's looking for
    Somebody's arms to fall into
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    
    There's frost on the graves and the monuments
    But the taverns are warm in town
    People Curse the government
    And shovel hot food down
    The lights are out in the city hall
    The castle and the keep
    The moon shines down upon it all
    The legless and asleep
    
    And it's cold on the tollgate
    With the wagons creeping through
    Cold on the tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    
    The garrison sleeps in the citadel
    With the ghosts and the ancient stones
    
    High up on the parapet
    A Scottish piper stands alone
    And high on the wind
    The highland drums begin to roll
    And something from the past just comes
    And stares into my soul
    
    And it's cold on the tollgate
    With the Caledonian Blues
    Cold on the tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    What it is
    It's what it is now
    
    There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
    There's a lantern in the tower
    Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
    Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
    On Charlotte Street I take
    A walking stick from my hotel
    The ghost of Dirty Dick
    Is still in search of Little Nell
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    Oh what it is
    What it is now
