letra de Berlin
In Berlin, by the wall

you were five foot ten inches tall

It was very nice

candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe

you could hear the guitars play

It was very nice

it was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong

hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone

One sweet day

Oh, you're right and I'm wrong

you know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone

One sweet day

One sweet day

In a small, small cafe

we could hear the guitars play

It was very nice

candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

Don't forget, hire a vet

he hasn't had that much fun yet

It was very nice

hey honey, it was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong

oh babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone

One sweet day

You're right, oh, and I'm wrong

you know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone

One sweet day

One sweet day

One sweet day, one sweet day

oh, one sweet day

One sweet day, baby-baby, one sweet day

one sweet day, one sweet day

letra de Lady Day
When she walked on down the street

She was like a child staring at her feet

But when she passed the bar

and she heard the music play

She had to go in and sing

it had to be that way

She had to go in and sing

it had to be that way

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

After the applause had died down

And the people drifted away

She climbed down off the bar

and went out the door

To the hotel

that she called home

It had greenish walls

a bathroom in the hall

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

And I said no, no, no

oh, Lady Day

letra de Men Of Good Fortune
Men of good fortune

often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

often can't do anything at all

The rich son waits for his father to die

the poor just drink and cry

And me, I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune

very often can't do a thing

While men of poor beginnings

often can do anything

At heart they try to act like a man

handle things the best way they can

They have no rich, daddy to fall back on

Men of good fortune

often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

often can't do anything at all

It takes money to make money they say

look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way

Anyway, it makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune

often wish that they could die

While men of poor beginnings

want what they have and to get it they'll die

All those great things that live has to give

they wanna have money and live

But me, I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune

men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

men of poor beginnings

letra de Caroline Says I
Caroline says that I'm just a toy

she wants a man, not just a boy

Oh, Caroline says, ooohhh, Caroline says

Caroline says she can't help but be mean

or cruel, or oh so it seems

Oh, Caroline says, Caroline says

She say she doesn't want a man who leans

Still she is my Germanic -

- Queen

Yeah, she's my Queen

The things she does, the things she says

people shouldn't treat others that way

But at first I thought I could take it all

Just like poison in a vial

hey, she was often very vile

But of course, I thought I could take it all

Caroline says that I'm not a man

so she'll go get it catch as catch can

Oh, Caroline says, yeah, Caroline says

Caroline says moments in time

can't continue to be only mine

Oh, Caroline says, yeah, Caroline says

She treats me like I am a fool

But to me she's still a German -

- Queen, ooohhh, she's my -

- Queen, ya ...

Queen, hey baby, she's my Queen

letra de How Do You Think It Feels
How do you think it feels

when you're speeding and lonely, come here baby

How do you think it feels

when all you can say is if only

If only I had a little

if only I had some change, come here baby

If only, if only, if only

How do you think it feels

and when do you think it stops

How do you think it feels

when you've been up for five days, come down here mama

Hunting around always, ooohhh

'cause you're afraid of sleeping

How do you think it feels

to feel like a wolf and foxy

How do you think it feels

To always make love by proxy, huh

how do you think it feels

And when do you think it stops

when do you think it stops

letra de Oh, Jim
All your two-bit friends

They're shootin' you up with pills

They said that it was good for you

That it would cure your ills

I don't care just where it's at

I'm just like an alley cat

And when you're filled up to here with hate

Don't you know you gotta get it straight

Filled up to here with hate

Beat her black and blue and get it straight

Do, do, do, do, do, do

When you're lookin' through the eyes of hate

All your two-bit friends

They asked you for your autograph

They put you on the stage

They thought it'd be good for a laugh

But I don't care just where it's at

'Cause honey, I'm just like an alley cat

And when you're filled up to here with hate

Don't you know you gotta get it straight

Filled up to here with hate

Beat her black and blue and get it straight

Uh-huh

Oh, Jim

How could you treat me this way

Hey, hey, hey

How could you treat me this way

Oh, Jim

How could you treat me this way

Hey, hey

How could you treat me this way

You know you broke my heart

Ever since you went away

Now you said that you love us

But you only make love to one of us

Oh, oh, oh, oh, Jim

How could you treat me this way

You know you broke my heart

Ever since you went away

When you're looking through the eyes of hate

Oh, oh, oh, oh

When you're looking through the eyes of hate

Oh, oh, oh, oh

When you're looking through the eyes of hate

Oh, oh, oh, oh

When you're looking through the eyes of hate

Oh, oh, oh, oh

When you're looking through the eyes of hate

Oh, oh, oh, oh

When you're looking through the eyes of hate

Oh, oh, oh, oh

letra de Caroline Says II
Caroline says

as she gets up off the floor

Why is it that you beat me

it isn't any fun

Caroline says

as she makes up her eyes

You ought to learn more about yourself

think more than just I

But she's not afraid to die

all her friends call her "Alaska"

When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

What is in her mind

what is in her mind

Caroline says

as she gets up from the floor

You can hit me all you want to

but I don't love you anymore

Caroline says

while biting her lip

Life is meant to be more than this

and this is a bum trip

But she's not afraid to die

all her friends call her "Alaska"

When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

What is in her mind

what is in her mind

She put her fist through the window pane

It was such a funny feeling

It's so cold in Alaska

it's so cold in Alaska

It's so cold in Alaska

letra de The Kids
They're taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

They're taking her children away

Because she was making it with sisters and brothers

And everyone else, all of the others

Like cheap officers who would stand there and flirt in front of me

They're taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

They're taking her children away

Because of the things that they heard she had done

The black Air Force sergeant was not the first one

And all of the drugs she took, every one, every one

And I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here

But my heart is overflowin' anyway

I'm just a tired man, no words to say

But since she lost her daughter

It's her eyes that fill with water

And I am much happier this way

They're taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

They're taking her children away

Because number on was the girl friend from Paris

The things that they did - ah - they didn't have to ask us

And then the Welshman from India, who came here to stay

They're taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

They're taking her children away

Because of the things she did in the streets

In the alleys and bars, no she couldn't be beat

That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away

I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here

But my heart is overflowin' anyway

I'm just a tired man, no words to say

But since she lost her daughter

It's her eyes that fill with water

And I am much happier this way

letra de The Bed
This is the place where she lay her head

when she went to bed at night

And this is the place our children were conceived

candles lit the room brightly at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists

that odd and fateful night

And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

This is the place where we used to live

I paid for it with love and blood

And these are the boxes that she kept on the shelf

Filled with her poetry and stuff

And this is the room where she took the razor

and cut her wrists that strange and fateful night

And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

I never would have started if I'd known

that it'd end this way

But funny thing, I'm not at all sad

that it stopped this way

This is the place where she lay her head

when she went to bed at night

And this is the place our children were conceived

candles lit the room brightly at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists

That odd and fateful night

And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

letra de Sad Song
Staring at my picture book

she looks like Mary, Queen of Scots

She seemed very regal to me

just goes to show how wrong you can be

I'm gonna stop wastin' my time

Somebody else would have broken both of her arms

Sad song, sad song

Sad song, sad song

My castle, kids and home

I thought she was Mary, Queen of Scots

I tried so very hard

shows just how wrong you can be

I'm gonna stop wasting time

Somebody else would have broken both of her arms

Sad song, sad song

Sad song, sad song

Sad song, sad song

Sad song, sad song

Sad song, sad song

Sad song, sad song
