letra de All I Wanna Do
Hit it!

This ain't no disco

It ain't no country club either

This is LA!

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"

Says the man next to me out of nowhere

It's apropos

Of nothing

He says his name's William but I'm sure,

He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy

And he's plain ugly to me

And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole

life

We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday

In a bar that faces a giant car wash

The good people of the world are washing their cars

On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing

As best they can in skirts in suits

They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks

Back to the phone company, the record store too

Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause

[Chorus]

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

I like a good beer buzz early in the morning

And Billy likes to peel the labels

From his bottles of Bud

He shreds them on the bar

Then he lights every match in an oversized pack

Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers

before blowing and cursing them out

And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on

the floor

And a happy couple enters the bar

Dangerously close to one another

The bartender looks up from his want ads

[Chorus]

Otherwise the bar is ours,

The day and the night and the car wash too

The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty

cars

The sun and the moon but

[Chorus]
Soak Up The SunVer letra

letra de Soak Up The Sun
My friend the communist

Holds meetings in his RV

I can't afford his gas

So I'm stuck here watching TV

I don't have digital

I don't have diddly squat

It's not having what you want

It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Gonna tell everyone

To lighten up

I'm gonna tell 'em that

I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame

I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job

It don't pay near enough

To buy the things it takes

To win me some of your love

Every time I turn around

I'm looking up, you're looking down

Maybe something's wrong with you

That makes you act the way you do

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Gonna tell everyone

To lighten up

I'm gonna tell 'em that

I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame

I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun

While it's still free

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Before it goes out on me

Don't have no master suite

But I'm still the king of me

You have a fancy ride, but baby

I'm the one who has the key

Every time I turn around

I'm looking up, you're looking down

Maybe something's wrong with you

That makes you act the way you do

Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Gonna tell everyone

To lighten up

I'm gonna tell 'em that

I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame

I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun

Gonna tell everyone

To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)

I've got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame

I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun

I got my 45 on

So I can rock on
My Favorite MistakeVer letra

[X]
letra de My Favorite Mistake
I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore

I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone

[Chorus:]
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake

Your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game

Now here comes your secret lover
She'd be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames

[Chorus:]
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake

You're my favorite mistake

Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after
It's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way

Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everything's so wrong

Did you see me walking by?
Did it ever make you cry?

You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

letra de The First Cut Is The Deepest
I would have given you all of my heart

But there's someone who's torn it apart

And he's taken just all that I had

But if you want I'll try to love again

Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

The first cut is the deepest

Baby I know

The first cut is the deepest

But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed

When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side

Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried

And I'm sure gonna give you a try

If you want I'll try to love again, try

Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

The first cut is the deepest

Baby I know

The first cut is the deepest

But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed

But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side

Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried

But I'm sure gonna give you a try

Cause if you want I'll try to love again

(Try to love again, try to love again)

Baby, I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest

Baby I know

The first cut is the deepest

When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed

When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

The first cut is the deepest

Baby I know (baby I know)

The first cut is the deepest

Try to love again...

Leaving Las VegasVer letra

[X]
letra de Leaving Las Vegas
Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blind
And I wonder what I'll find

[Chorus]
I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

Used to be I could drive up to
Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker
To demonstrate his might
But these days it seems
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today

[Chorus]

I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
And make it win

[Chorus]

I quit my job as a dancer
At the Lido Des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between
The things you want
And the things you have to do

[Chorus]

I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back
No I won't be back
Not this time
Strong EnoughVer letra

letra de Strong Enough
God, I feel like hell tonight

Tears of rage I cannot fight

I'd be the last to help you understand

Are you strong enough to be my man, my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right

So let me be alone tonight

Cause you can't change the way I am

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me

I promise I'll believe

Lie to me

But please don't leave, don't leave

I have a face I cannot show

I make the rules up as I go

Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough to be my man, my man?

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Are you strong? My man.

When I've shown you that I just don't care

When I'm throwing punches in the air

When I'm broken down and I can't stand

Would you be man enough to be my man?

Lie to me

I promise I'll believe

Lie to me

But please don't leave

Light In Your EyesVer letra

letra de Light In Your Eyes
Something's happenin'

Everything's different

But everything is fine, yeah

This is the good stuff

And yesterday is only what you leave behind

It's only in your mind

You gotta talk to the one who made you

Talk to the one who understands

Talk to the one who gave you

All the light in your eyes

All the light in your eyes

No use pretendin'

You never existed

Til you saw the light, yeah

You're just beginning

You haven't missed it - it's all ahead of you

And you know what to do

You gotta talk to the one who made you

Talk to the one who understands

Talk to the one who gave you

All the light in your eyes

All the light in your eyes

Here comes the world and

She is beautifully mysterious

Shes got it all and you say

Give it to me

Nobody's happy

That's not the world I know inside

Where everybody hides

You gotta talk to the one who made you

Talk to the one who understands

Talk to the one who gave you

All the light in your eyes

You gotta talk to the one who loves you

Talk to the one who understands

Talk to the one who gave you

All the light in your eyes

All the light in your eyes

Yeah, thank you, thank you

Yeah, everything great and small

Yeah, thank you, thank you

For the light in your eyes

Yeah, thank you, thank you

Yeah, everything great and small

Yeah, thank you, thank you

For the light in your eyes

For the light in your eyes

If It Makes You HappyVer letra

[X]
letra de If It Makes You Happy
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

[Chorus]

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

[Chorus]

The Difficult KindVer letra

letra de The Difficult Kind
I think I was wrong
I think you were right
That all my angry words
Will keep me up at night
And through the old screen door
I still hear you say
Oh, Honey won't you stop
Treating me that way

[Chorus]
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
Cause babe I've changed

Tell it to me slow
Tell me with your eyes
If anyone should know
How to let it slide
I swear I can see you
Coming up the drive
And there ain't nothing like regret
To remind you you're alive

[Chorus]

I crossed the canyon a thousand times
But never noticed what was mine
What you'll remember of me tonight
Well, it almost makes me cry
Yeah, it almost makes me cry

Oh ballbreaking moon and ridiculing stars
The older I get, the closer you are
Don't you have somewhere that you need to be
Instead of hanging here making a fool of me

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see the change in me
If you could only see
What love has made of me
But I'll forever be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see
No you won't see
The good in me
But babe I've changed
Cause babe I've changed

letra de Steve McQueen
Well I went to bed in Memphis

And I woke up in Hollywood

I got a quarter

in my pocket

And I'd call you if I could

But I don't know why

I gotta fly

I wanna rock and roll this party

I still wanna have some fun

I wanna leave you feeling breathless

Show you how the west was won

But I gotta fly

I gotta fly

[CHORUS:]

Like Steve McQueen

All I need's a fast machine

I'm gonna make it all right

Like Steve McQueen

Underneath your radar screen

You'll never catch me tonite

I ain't takin' shit off no one

Baby that was yesterday

I'm an all American rebel

Making my big getaway

Yeah you know it's time

I gotta fly

[CHORUS]

We got rockstars in the Whitehouse

All our popstars look like porn

All my heroes hit the highway

They don't hang out here no more

You can tell me on my cellphone

You can page me all night long

But you won't catch this freebird

I'll already be long gone

Like Steve McQueen

All we need's a fast machine

And we're gonna make it all right

[CHORUS]
A Change Would Do You Good
HomeVer letra

[X]
letra de Home
I woke up this morning
Now I understand
What it means to give your life
To just one man
Afraid of feeling nothing
No bees or butterflies
My head is full of voices
And my house is full of lies

[chorus]
This is home, home
And this is home, home
This is home

I found your standing there
When I was seventeen
Now I'm thirty-two
And I can't remember what I'd seen in you
I made a promise
Said it everyday
Now I'm reading romance novels
And I'm dreaming of yesterday

[Chorus]

I'd like to see the Riviera
And slowdance underneath the stars
I'd like to watch the sun come up
In a stranger's arms

[Chorus]

I'm going crazy
A little everyday
And everything I wanted
Is now driving me away
I woke this morning
To the sound of breaking hearts
Mine is full of questions
And it's tearing yours apart...
There Goes The NeighborhoodVer letra

[X]
letra de There Goes The Neighborhood
Hey let's party
Let's get down
Let's turn the radio on
This is the meltdown
Get out the camera
Take a picture
The drag queens and the freaks
Are all out on the town
And cowboy Jane's in bed
Nursing a swollen head

[Chorus]
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov
Don't like the scene any how
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about
Now there goes the neighborhood

The photo chick made to look sickly
Is standing in her panties in the shower
She plays the guitar in the bathroom
While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers
And Schoolboy John's in jail
Making a killing through the U.S. mail

[Chorus]

This is the movie of the screenplay
Of the book about a girl who meets a junkie.
The messenger gets shot down
Just for carrying the message to a flunkie.
We can't be certain who the villans are 'cuz everyone's so pretty
But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your
city

[Chorus]

There goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood
I Shall BelieveVer letra

[X]
letra de I Shall Believe
Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe

I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
