letra de Jackie
Jackie left on a cold, dark night

Telling me he'd be home

Sailed the seas for a hundred years

Leaving me all alone

And I've been dead for twenty years

I've been washing the sand

With my ghostly tears

Searching the shores for my Jackie-oh

I remember the day the young man came

He said, "your Jackie's gone

We got lost in the rain"

And I ran to the beach

And laid me down "You're all wrong", I said

And they stared at the sand

"That man knows that sea

Like the back of his hand

He'll be back some time

laughing at you"

And I've been waiting all this time

For my man to come

Take his hand in mine

And lead me away

To unseen shores

I've been washing the sand

With my salty tears

Searching the shore

For these long years

And I'll walk the seas forever more

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh Jackie oh

Jackie oh

Jackie oh
MandinkaVer letra

letra de Mandinka
I'm dancing the seven veils

Want you to pick up my scarf

See how the black moon fades

Soon I can give you my heart

I don't know no shame

I feel no pain

I can't see the flame

But I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do

They're throwing it all this way

Dragging it back to the start

And they say, "See how the glass is raised?"

I have refused to take part

I told them "drink something new"

Please let me pull something through

I don't know no shame

I feel no pain

I can't

I don't know no shame

I feel no pain

I can't see the flame

But I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do

I do

I do

I say I do

Soon I can give you my heart

I swear I do

Soon I can give you my heart

I do

Mandinka

Soon I can give you my heart

Soon I can give you my heart

Soon I can give you my heart
JerusalemVer letra

letra de Jerusalem
Ran down and the lady said it

It got torn down

And the priest just said it

It got burned

They give me five years five years

It's my turn

Ran down and the lady said it

It got torn down

And the priest just said it

It got burned

They give me five years five years

It's my turn

Oh Jerusalem

Oh Jerusalem

Getting tired of you doing this to me

I'm gonna hit you if you say that to me

One more time

I want to see you

And you're saying you're busy

I want to stop it

And you said it would be easy

It sure takes time

Hope your next time

Gonna be the last time

Hope you don't two-time

It'll be the best time

There won't be no next time

It's show time

I hope you do

What you said

When you swore

You'd make it better

Deliver all the letters

On time

Jerusalem

Jerusalem

Jerusalem

Jerusalem

Just Like U Said It Would BVer letra

[X]
letra de Just Like U Said It Would B
I will walk in the garden

And feel religion within

I will learn how to run with the big boys

I will learn how to sink and to swim

And there's talk in the houses

And people dancing in rings

Ah, when you close my eyes, babe?

I can see most everything

I can see most everything

It's just like u said it would b

It's Just like u said it would b

It's just like u said it would b

It's Just like u said it would b

I can see too many mouths open

Too many eyes closed, ears closed

Not enough minds open

Too many legs open

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, do

Why isn't it why why

I don't see why I listen, why, why

When I've walked in the garden

When I'm walking off stage

When everything's quiet

Will you stay?

Will you be my lover?

Will you be my mama?

I said will you be my lover?

I said will you be my babe?

When I lay down my head

At the end of my day

Nothing would

Nothing would please me better

Than I find that you're there

When I lay down my head

At the end of my day

Nothing would

Nothing would please me better

Than I find that you're there when I wake

Just like u said it would b

Just like u said it would b

Just like u said it would b

Just like u said it would b

Will you be my lover?

Will you be my mama?

Just like u said it would b

Just like u said it would b

Just like u said it would b

Just like u said it would b
Never Get OldVer letra

letra de Never Get Old
Young woman with a drink in her hand

She like to listen to rock and roll

She moves with the music

`Cause it never gets old

It's the only thing

That never gets old

Young man in a quiet place

Got a hawk on his arm

He loves that bird

Never does no harm

It's the only thing

That never can do no harm

Must be the only thing

That never can do no harm

Sun setting on the avenue

Everyone walks by

They live their life under cover

Being blind

Being blind

Being blind
TroyVer letra

[X]
letra de Troy
I'll remember it

And Dublin in a rainstorm

And sitting in the long grass in summer

Keeping warm

I'll remember it

Every restless night

We were so young then

We thought that everything

We could possibly do was right

Then we moved

Stolen from our very eyes

And I wondered where you went to

Tell me when did the light die

You will rise

You'll return

The phoenix from the flame

You will learn

You will rise

You'll return

Being what you are

There is no other Troy

For you to burn

And I never meant to hurt you

I swear I didn't mean

Those things I said

I never meant to do that to you

Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead

Oh, does she love you

What do you want to do?

Does she need you like I do?

Do you love her?

Is she good for you?

Does she hold you like I do?

Do you want me?

Should I leave?

I know you're always telling me

That you love me

Just sometimes I wonder

If I should believe

Oh, I love you

God, I love you

I'd kill a dragon for you

I'll die

But I will rise

And I will return

The Phoenix from the flame

I have learned

I will rise

And you'll see me return

Being what I am

There is no other Troy

For me to burn

And you should've left the light on

You should've left the light on

Then I wouldn't have tried

And you'd never have known

And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter

No I wouldn't have pulled you close

I wouldn't have screamed

No I can't let you go

And the door wasn't closed

No I wouldn't have pulled you to me

No I wouldn't have kissed your face

You wouldn't have begged me to hold you

If we hadn't been there in the first place

Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh

Every look that you threw told me so

But you should've left the light on

You should've left the light on

And the flames burned away

But you're still spitting fire

Make no difference what you say

You're still a liar

You're still a liar

You're still a liar

letra de Drink Before the War
Well, you tell us that we're wrong

And you tell us not to sing our song

Nothing we can say will make you see

You got a heart of stone

You can never feel

You say "oh I'm not afraid - it can't happen to me

I've lived my life as a good man

Oh, no you're out of your mind

It won't happen to me

'Cos I've carried my weight

And I've been a strong man"

Listen to the man in the liquor store

Yelling "anybody want a drink before the war?"

And your parents paid you through

You got a nice big car

Nothing bothers you

Somebody cut out your eyes

You refuse to see

Somebody cut out your heart

You refuse to feel

And you live in a shell

You create your own hell

You live in the past

And talk about war

And you dig your own grave yeah

But it's a life you can save

So stop getting fussed

It's not gonna happen

And you'll cry

But you'll never fall

No, no, no You're building a wall

Gotta break it down

Start again

No, no, no

It won't happen to us

We've lived our lives

Basically we've been good men

So stop talking of war

Cause you know we've heard it all before

Why don't you go out there

And do something useful

Oh listen to the man in the liquor store

He yelling "anybody wanna drink before the war?"

"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"

"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
Just Call Me JoeVer letra

letra de Just Call Me Joe
We came here across the great divide

Into the city, slander all eyes

We found a great love as we fell inside

They could not touch us as we'd go by

I've seen you the first time in Trogny's bar

But I'll see you later, we'll talk of black

We'll meet up for sure, oh will we not?

Away from all of the friends that you've got

Oh no, oh no

I said don't call me sir

just call me Joe

Don't call me lady

Just call me Joe

Don't call me mister

Oh, just call me Joe

Don't call me sweetheart

Just call me Joe

You wear the best clothes that I've ever seen

I've seen your light and your poetry

And it's the best thing that there's ever been

You're both the beauty and the beast

That's how it is and that's how it end

Into another city where you live far away

That's how it is and that's how it end

You've seen my face but you've never heard my name

Oh no, oh oh

I said don't call me sir

Oh, just call me Joe

Don't call me lady

Just call me Joe

Don't call me mister

Just call me Joe

Don't call me sweetheart

Just call me Joe
