    letra de Falling from Above

    Grandpa said to cousin jed
    Sittin' on the porch,
    "i won't retire
    But i might retread

    Seems like that guy singin' this song
    Been doin' it for a long time
    Is there anything he knows
    That he ain't said?

    Sing a song for freedom
    Sing a song for love
    Sing a song for depressed angels
    Falling from above"

    Grandpa held the paper
    Pretendin' he could see
    But he couldn't read without his glasses on

    "how can all these people
    Afford so many things?
    When i was young
    People wore what they had on...and mama said

    'a little love and affection
    In everything you do
    Will make the world a better place
    With or without you'"

    A little love and affection
    In everything you do

    Slammin' down a late night shot
    The hero and the artist compared
    Goals and visions and afterthoughts
    For the 21st century

    But mostly came up with nothin'
    So the truth was never learned
    And the human race just kept rollin' on

    Rollin' through the fighting
    Rollin' through the religious wars
    Rollin' down the temple walls
    And the church's exposed sores

    Rollin' through the fighting
    The religious wars
    Mostly came up with nothin'

    "grandpa here's your glasses
    You'll see much better now,"
    Said that young girl of edith and earl's
    But grandpa just kept starin'
    He was lost in some distant thought
    Then he turned and said
    To that young girl

    "a little love and affection
    In everything you do
    Will make the world a better place
    With or without you"

    With or without you
    A better place
    With or without you
    With or without you

    Hear that rooster crowin'
    Down on the double e
    It's a new morning
    Dawning on the green

    Bouncing off the towers
    And the sun's heading down for the streets
    The business meeting
    Window shades are drawn

    Another morning edition
    Headed for the porch
    Because grandma puts down the paper
    Before grandpa raises his fork

    A little love and affection
    In everything you do
    With or without you

    Hear the rooster crowing
    Down on the double e

  2. Double EVer letra 5:18

    [X]

    letra de Double E

    Back in the country
    Livin' on the double e
    In the sunshine of her life
    There's a ready young filly
    And mom and daddy
    Won't let her leave
    Mom and papa won't let her go

    But when they go out dancin'
    She breaks out on her own
    She's hot enough to
    Burn the house down
    And mom and daddy don't know

    When edith and earl
    Renamed the double e
    They nearly made history
    The neighbors rose up
    And some of them were mad as hell
    'cause it used to be the double L

    Change comes slow in the country
    When you're new
    There's a lot of distrust
    Years pass by uneventful,
    And memories turn to dust

    Meanwhile granny
    Has got her bright colors on
    The sunshine in her eyes
    Cruisin' by the bars
    And honky tonks where she met grandpa
    And caught that young man's eye

    Dusty white eldorado
    Cruisin' through the trees
    Slippin' through the shadows
    Of what used to be

    Back in the day
    Livin' in the summer of love
    Livin' in the summer of love

    Grandma's ok
    But not the same since grandpa's gone
    She's livin' in the summer of love

    Back in the day
    Livin' in the summer of love
    Livin' in the summer of love

    Livin' in the summer of love

    Livin' in the summer of love

    Livin' in the summer of love

  4. Leave the DrivingVer letra 7:14

    [X]

    letra de Leave the Driving

    Out on the old coast highway
    Flyin' through the night
    Jed got stopped by the CHP
    For speedin' and no brake lights

    Rolled down the drivers window
    Slipped his gun down under the seat
    Glove box full of cocaine
    Trunk was full of weed

    "driver's license and registration,"
    Said the officer with his flashlight
    Searchin' around the floor of the car
    Smellin' like somethin' ain't right

    Jed's life flashed before him
    Like a black and white super 8
    He heard the sound of the future
    On a scratchy old 78

    Nothin' was still, all was movin'
    When the flashlight found the gun
    Then jed pulled the trigger
    In a split second tragic blunder

    "makes you think about livin'
    And what life has to tell,"
    Said jed to grandpa
    From inside his cell

    Camouflage hung in his closet
    Guns all over the wall
    Plans for buildings and engineers
    And a book with no numbers at all

    The whole town was stunned
    They closed the coast highway for 12 hours
    No one could believe it
    Jed was one of ours

    Meanwhile across the ocean
    Living in the internet
    Is the cause of an explosion
    No one has heard yet

    But there's no need to worry
    There's no reason to fuss
    Just go on about your work now
    And leave the driving to us

    And we'll be watching you
    No matter what you do
    And you can do your part
    By watching others too

    Grandpa put down the paper
    Staring in disbelief
    Jed had always been good to him
    And never gave him any grief

    "the moral of this story
    Is try not to get too old
    The more time you spend on earth
    The more you see unfold

    And as an afterthought
    This must to be told
    Some people have taken pure bullshit
    And turned it into gold"

  5. CarmichaelVer letra 10:20

    [X]

    letra de Carmichael

    Silk scarf and a napkin
    Hidden in a drawer
    Two hundred bucks in an envelope
    Labeled lenore

    "maybe she shouldn't see this
    She should never know,"
    Said the widow's best friend anne,
    "i'll just take it and go

    I'll give her the money later
    Say it was in his shoe
    That way she'll never find out...
    That'll do"

    "carmichael was a credit to the force
    In everything he did
    It's like we got a big hole in our side
    Where he fit

    If any of you officers
    Would like to say a word
    Now would be the time
    To be heard"

    "thank you chief, i sure would
    He was a partner of mine
    He was always very careful
    And played it straight down the line"

    One by one the officers spoke
    And the service drew to a close
    He had no living relatives
    But his wife who never showed

    She just couldn't face the men
    They all understood
    They got in their cars and drove home
    As directly as they could

    "carmichael you asshole,"
    The new widow sobbed beneath her veil,
    "shot down in the line of duty
    Is this how justice never fails?

    I wish that things were better
    When we said goodbye today
    But we had our share of good times though
    Along the way

    Remember
    'hey mr. las vegas
    You used to be so cool!!'
    We met wayne newton down at pebble beach
    And you acted like a fool

    But we both just couldn't stop laughin'
    It seemed so funny to us
    We left our luggage back in the room and almost missed the bus

    That was a great vacation
    Maybe the best of all
    But goddamnit carmichael you're dead now
    And i'm talkin' to the wall"

    The force got back to normal
    Carmichael was replaced
    For one year nobody parked a car
    In carmichael's space

    letra de Bandit

    Turnin' the pages
    In this old book
    Seems familiar
    Might be worth a second look

    Wrappin' up dope in a paper bag
    Talkin' to yourself
    Takin' a drag
    Who are you kidding
    With what you say?
    What does it matter?
    They'll never hear it anyway

    Got to get past
    The negative thing
    The lawyers and business
    You get what you bring
    No one's sorry
    You did it yourself
    It's time to relax now
    And then give it hell

    Someday you'll find
    What you're lookin' for
    Someday you'll find
    What you're lookin' for

    You didn't bet on the dodgers
    To beat the giants
    Then david came up
    Now you gotta pay up
    You didn't count on that

    Geez half the money's gone
    The month is still young
    Where you gonna go now?
    Things are closin' in

    Got to trust someone
    Trust someone
    Someone you trust
    Got to be careful
    Be careful

    You can't go to your brother
    That money's all gone
    Can't go to your friends

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're lookin' for

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're lookin' for

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're lookin' for

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're lookin' for
    Yeah

    Made out like a bandit
    For so many years
    What are you workin' for?
    One more big score?
    What are you tryin' to prove?

    Try to get closer
    But not too close
    Try to get through
    But not be through

    No one can touch you now
    But i can touch you now
    You're invisible
    You got too many secrets
    Bob dylan said that
    Somethin' like that

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're looking for

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're looking for

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're looking for

    Someday
    You'll find
    Everything you're looking for
    Yeah

  9. Sun GreenVer letra 12:03

    [X]

    letra de Sun Green

    Sun green started makin' waves
    On the day her grandpa died
    Speakin' out against anything
    Unjust or packed with lies

    She chained herself to a statue of an eagle
    In the lobby of powerco
    And started yellin' through a megaphone
    "there's corruption on the highest floor"

    Suits poured out of elevators "they're all dirty"
    Phoneheads began to speak "you can't trust anybody"
    But security couldn't get her down
    She was welded to the eagle's beak

    Sun green leaned into that megaphone
    And said, "truth is all i seek"
    Security brought in some blowtorches
    News cameras recorded the speech

    "when the city is plunged into darkness
    By an unpredicted rolling blackout
    The white house always blames the governor,
    Sayin', 'the solution is to vote him out'"

    On top of that great bronze eagle
    Sun's voice was loud and clear
    She said, "powerco is workin' with the white house
    To paralyze our state with fear"

    It was a golden moment golden moment
    In the history of tv news
    No one could explain it
    It just got great reviews

    "hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too"

    The imitators were playin'
    Down at john lee's bar
    When sun went down to see 'em
    Someone followed her in a car

    So now when she goes dancin'
    She has to watch her back
    The FBI just trashed her room
    One of them kicked her cat

    The damn thing scratched his leg
    And he had to shoot it dead
    And leave it lyin' in a puddle of blood
    At the foot of sun green's bed

    "hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too"

    John lee's was rockin'
    The imitators drove it home
    Sun was dancin' up a heatwave
    For a while she was all alone...

    When up walked a tall stranger
    He shadowed her move to move
    In perfect unison
    A supernatural groove

    He took her by the hand
    And the room began to spin
    He said, "i'm earth... earth brown
    You know the shape i'm in

    I'm leavin' tonight for alaska
    And i want you to come in the spring
    And be a goddess in the planet wars
    Tryin' to save the livin' things"

    "i'm ready to go right now,"
    Sun green told earth brown
    "let's go back to my place,
    Pick up my cat and leave this town behind"

    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too

    Next day sun green got busted for pot
    And it made the headline news
    But then the charges all got dropped
    And the story got confused

    She'd still like to meet julia butterfly
    And see what remedy brings
    And be a goddess in the planet wars
    Tryin' to save the livin' things

    But that might not be easy
    Livin' on the run
    Mother earth has many enemies
    There's much work to be done

    "hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too
    Hey mr. clean, you're dirty now too"

  10. Be the RainVer letra 9:13

    [X]

    letra de Be the Rain

    Save the planet for another day
    "attention shoppers, buy with a conscience and save"
    Save the planet for another day
    "save alaska! let the caribou stay"
    Don't care what the governments say
    "they're all bought and paid for anyway"
    Save the planet for another day
    "hey big oil, what do you say?"

    We were runnin' through the night
    Never knowin' if we would see the light
    Paranoid schizophrenic visions
    Livin' in fear of the wrong decisions

    We got to wake up
    We got to keep goin'
    If they follow us
    There's no way of knowin'

    We got a job to do
    We got to
    Save mother earth

    Be the ocean when it meets the sky
    "you can make a difference, if you really try"
    Be the magic in the northern lights
    "six days....six nights"
    Be the river as it rolls along
    "it has three eyed fish and it's smellin' strong"
    Be the rain you remember fallin'
    "be the rain, be the rain"

    Yeah rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet
    Hail is beatin' down on our heads
    The wind is blowin' through our hair
    Faces frozen in the frigid air

    We got to get there
    Alaska
    We got to be there
    Before the big machines

    We got a job to do
    We got to
    Save mother earth

    Dream the hunter on the western plain
    "the birds are all gone, where did they go?"
    Dream the fisherman in his boat
    "he's comin' home empty, he's barely afloat"
    Dream the logger in the great northwest
    "they're runnin' out of trees, they got to give it a rest"
    (there's no other way to cut it)
    Dream the farmer in the old heartland
    "corporate greed and chemicals are killin' the land"

    Next mornin' sun was up at dawn
    She looked around and earth was gone
    Dark visions he had last night
    He needed peace, he needed light

    He heard the rumble and
    He saw the big machines
    The green army rose
    It was a bad dream

    He had a job to do
    He had to
    Save mother earth

    Be the ocean when it meets the sky
    "greek freighters are dumping crap somewhere right now"
    Be the magic in the northern lights
    "the ice is melting!"
    Be the river as it rolls along
    "toxic waste dumpin' from corporate farms"
    Be the rain you remember fallin'
    "be the rain, be the rain"
    Save the planet for another day
    "be the rain, be the rain"
    Be the river as it rolls along
    "be the rain, be the rain"
