    [X]

    letra de Heroes

    I, I will be king

    And you, you will be queen

    Though nothing will drive them away

    We can beat them, just for one day

    We can be heroes, just for one day



    And you, you can be mean

    And I, I'll drink all the time

    'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

    Yes we're lovers, and that is that

    Though nothing will keep us together

    We could steal time just for one day

    We can be heroes for ever and ever

    What d'you say?



    I, I wish you could swim

    Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

    Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

    We can beat them, for ever and ever

    Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day



    I, I will be king

    And you, you will be queen

    Though nothing will drive them away

    We can be Heroes, just for one day

    We can be us, just for one day



    I, I can remember (I remember)

    Standing, by the wall (by the wall)

    And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)

    And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

    And the shame, was on the other side

    Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever

    Then we could be Heroes, just for one day



    We can be Heroes

    We can be Heroes

    We can be Heroes

    Just for one day

    We can be Heroes



    We're nothing, and nothing will help us

    Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

    But we could be safer, just for one day



    Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

  2. The Boy in the BubbleVer letra 4:28

    [X]

    letra de The Boy in the Bubble

    It was a slow day

    And the sun was beating

    On the soldiers by the side of the road

    There was a bright light

    A shattering of shop windows

    The bomb in the baby carriage

    Was wired to the radio, and



    These are the days of miracle and wonder

    This is the long-distance call

    The way the camera follows us in slow-mo

    The way we look to us all

    The way we look to a distant constellation

    That's dying in a corner of the sky

    These are the days of miracle and wonder

    And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry



    It was a dry wind

    And it swept across the desert

    And it curled into the circle of birth

    And the dead sand

    Falling on the children

    The mothers and the fathers

    And the automatic earth



    These are the days of miracle and wonder

    This is the long-distance call

    The way the camera follows us in slow-mo

    The way we look to us all, oh, yeah

    The way we look to a distant constellation

    That's dying in a corner of the sky

    These are the days of miracle and wonder

    And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry



    It's a turn-around jump shot

    It's everybody jump start

    It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

    Medicine is magical and magical is art

    Think of the boy in the bubble

    And the baby with the baboon heart



    And I believe

    These are days of lasers in the jungle

    Lasers in the jungle somewhere

    Staccato signals of constant information

    A loose affiliation of millionaires

    And billionaires, and, baby



    These are the days of miracle and wonder

    This is the long-distance call

    The way the camera follows us in slow-mo

    The way we look to us all, oh, yeah

    The way we look to a distant constellation

    That's dying in a corner of the sky

    These are the days of miracle and wonder

    And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

    Composición: Forere Motloheloa, Paul Simon
  3. MirrorballVer letra 4:48

    [X]

    letra de Mirrorball

    I plant the kind of kiss that wouldn't wake a baby

    On the self-same face that wouldn't let me sleep

    And the street is singing with my feet

    And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller



    All down to you, dear

    Everything has changed



    My sorry name has made it to graffiti

    I was looking for someone to complete me



    Not anymore, dear

    Everything has changed



    And we made the moon our mirrorball

    The streets, an empty stage

    The city sirens violins

    Everything has changed



    So lift off love

    Lift off love



    We took the town to town last night

    We kissed like we invented it

    And now I know what every step is for

    To lead me to your door



    Know that while you sleep

    Everything has changed



    We made the moon our mirrorball

    The streets, an empty stage

    The city sirens violins

    Everything has changed

    Everything has changed

    Everything has changed



    So lift off love

    Lift off love (down to you, dear)

    Lift off love (down to you, dear)

    Lift off love (down to you, dear)

    Lift off love (down to you, dear)

    Lift off love (down to you, dear)

    Composición: Craig Potter, Guy Garvey, Mark Potter, Pete Turner, Richard Jupp
  4. FlumeVer letra 3:01

    [X]

    letra de Flume

    I am my mother's only one

    It's enough

    I wear my garment so it shows

    Now you know



    Only love is all maroon

    Gluey feathers on a flume

    Sky is womb and she's the moon



    I am my mother on the wall

    With us all

    I move in water, shore to shore

    Nothing's more



    Only love is all maroon

    Lapping lakes like leery loons

    Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse



    Only love is all maroon

    Gluey feathers on a flume

    Sky is womb and she's the moon

    Composición: Justin Vernon
  5. Listening WindVer letra 4:23

    [X]

    letra de Listening Wind

    Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill

    Mojique thinks of days before Americans came

    He sees(serves) the foreigners in growing numbers

    He sees the foreigners in fancy houses

    He dreams of days that he can still remember...now.



    Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands

    Mojique sends the package to the American man

    Softly he glides along the streets and alleys

    Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover

    He feels the time is surely now or never...more.



    The wind in my heart

    The wind in my heart

    The dust in my head

    The dust in my head

    The wind in my heart

    Tu sei sgangheraaa........AT THIS POINT

    (Come to) Drive them away

    Drive them away.



    Mojique buys equipment in the market place

    Mojique plants devices through the free trade zone

    He feels the wind is lifting up his people

    He calls the wind to guide him on his mission

    He knows his friend the wind is always standing...by.



    Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away

    Mojique waits for news in a quiet place

    He feels the presence of the wind beside (around) him

    He feels the power of the past behind him

    He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him...on.

    Composición: Brian Eno, David Byrne
  6. The Power of the HeartVer letra 5:52

    [X]

    letra de The Power of the Heart

    You and me we always sweat and we strain

    you look for sun and I look for rain

    we're different people, we're not the same

    the power of the sun

    I looked for treetops, you looked for caps

    above the water, where the waves snap back

    I flew around the world to bring you back

    ah the power of the heart



    you looked at me and I looked at you

    the sleeping heart was shining through

    the wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through

    the power of the heart

    I looked at you and you looked at me

    I thought of the past, you thought of what could be

    I asked you once again to marry me

    the power of the heart



    Everybody says love makes the world go round

    I hear a bubbling and I hear a sound

    of my heart beating and I turn around

    and find you standing at the door

    you know me I like to dream a lot

    of this and that and what is not

    and finally I figured out what was what

    it was the power of the heart



    You and me we sweat and strain

    the result is always the same

    you think somehow we're in a game

    the power of the heart

    the power of the heart



    I think I'm dumb I know you're smart

    the beating of a purebred heart

    I say this to you and it's not a lark

    marry me today

    You know me I like to dream a lot

    of what there is and what there's not

    but mainly I dream of you a lot

    the power of the heart

    the power of the heart

    Composición: Lou Reed
  7. My Body Is a CageVer letra 6:13

    [X]

    letra de My Body Is a Cage

    My body is a cage

    That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

    But my mind holds the key



    My body is a cage

    That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

    But my mind holds the key



    I'm standing on a stage

    Of fear and self doubt

    It's a hollow play

    But they'll clap anyway



    My body is a cage

    That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

    But my mind holds the key



    You're standing next to me

    My mind holds the key



    I'm living in an age

    That calls darkness light

    Though my language is dead

    Still the shapes fill my head



    I'm living in an age

    Whose name I don't know

    Though the fear keeps me moving

    Still my heart beats so slow



    My body is a cage

    That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

    But my mind holds the key



    You're standing next to me

    My mind holds the key

    My body is a...



    My body is a cage

    We take what we're given

    Just because you've forgotten

    That don't mean you're forgiven



    I'm living in an age

    That screams my name at night

    But when I get to the doorway

    There's no one in sight



    I'm living in an age

    They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love

    But my mind holds the key



    You're standing next to me

    My mind holds the key



    Set my spirit free

    Set my spirit free

    Set my body free

    Set my body free



    Set my spirit free

    Set my body free

  8. The Book of LoveVer letra 3:53

    [X]

    letra de The Book of Love

    The book of love is long and boring

    No one can lift the damn thing

    It's full of charts and facts and figures

    And instructions for dancing



    But I

    I love it when you read to me

    And you

    You can read me anything



    The book of love has music in it

    In fact that's where music comes from

    Some of it is just transcendental

    Some of it is just really dumb



    But I

    I love it when you sing to me

    And you

    You can sing me anything



    The book of love is long and boring

    And written very long ago

    It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes

    And things we're all too young to know



    But I

    I love it when you give me things

    And you

    You ought to give me wedding rings



    And I

    I love it when you give me things

    And you

    You ought to give me wedding rings

    You ought to give me wedding rings

    Composición: Stephin Merritt

  10. Après MoiVer letra 5:13

    [X]

    letra de Après Moi

    I must go on standing

    You can't break that which isn't yours

    I must go on standing

    I'm not my own, it's not my choice



    Be afraid of the lame

    They'll inherit your legs

    Be afraid of the old

    They'll inherit your souls

    Be afraid of the cold

    They'll inherit your blood

    Après moi, le déluge

    After me comes the flood



    I must go on standing

    You can't break that which isn't yours

    I must go on standing

    I'm not my own, it's not my choice



    Be afraid of the lame

    They'll inherit your legs

    Be afraid of the old

    They'll inherit your souls

    Be afraid of the cold

    They'll inherit your blood

    Après moi, le déluge

    After me comes the flood



    Be afraid of the lame

    They'll inherit your legs

    Be afraid of the old

    They'll inherit your souls

    Be afraid of the cold

    They'll inherit your blood

    Après moi, le déluge

    After me comes the flood



    (Gorit....)



    Be afraid of the lame

    They'll inherit your legs

    Be afraid of the old

    They'll inherit your souls

    Be afraid of the cold

    They'll inherit your blood

    Après moi, le déluge

    After me comes the flood



    The flood ...

  11. PhiladelphiaVer letra 3:46

    [X]

    letra de Philadelphia

    Philadelphia



    Sometimes I think that I know what love's all about

    And when I see the light, I know I'll be all right



    I've got my friends in the world, I had my friends

    When we were boys and girls and the secrets came unfurled



    City of brotherly love, place I call home

    Don't turn your back on me, I don't want to be alone

    Love lasts forever



    Someone is talking to me, calling my name

    Tell me I'm not to blame, I won't be ashamed of love

    Philadelphia



    City of brotherly love, brotherly love



    Sometimes I think that I know what love's all about

    And when I see the light, I know I'll be all right

    Philadelphia

  12. Street Spirit (Fade Out)Ver letra 5:06

    [X]

    letra de Street Spirit (Fade Out)

    Rows of houses all bearing down on me

    I can feel their blue hands touching me

    All these things into position

    All these things we'll one day swallow whole

    And fade out again and fade out



    This machine will not communicate

    These thoughts and the strain I am under

    Be a world child, form a circle

    Before we all go under

    And fade out again and fade out again



    Cracked eggs, dead birds

    Scream as they fight for life

    I can feel death, can see its beady eyes

    All these things into position

    All these things we'll one day swallow whole

    And fade out again and fade out again



    Immerse your soul in love

    Immerse your soul in love

    Composición: Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Jonny Greenwood, Phil Selway, Thom Yorke
