letra de Pictures Of Matchstick Men
When I look up to the skies

I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow

I rush home to bed I soak my head

I see your face underneath my pillow

I wake next morning tired still yawning

See your face come peeking through my window

Pictures of matchstick men and you

Mirages of matchstick men and you

All I ever see is them and you

[guitar intro]

Windows echo your reflection

When I look in their direction gone

When will this haunting stop

Your face it just wont leave me a-lone

Pictures of matchstick men and you

Mirages of matchstick men and you

All I ever see is them and you

You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie

You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie

[guitar intro]

letra de Ice In The Sun
I'm not a little boy, I've lived alone and never loved so more

But when she touches me I'm on the way, I'm underneath the floor

Like ice in the sun I melt away

Whenever she comes I melt away

Like in in the sun I melt away

I sit down in a chair and read a book as if I couldn't there

But she is in a room and I must look I see her everywhere

Like ice in the sun I melt away

Whenever she comes I melt away

Like in in the sun I melt away

She opens up her eyes as if to speak

She looks at me and I am weak

Her eyes they seem much bigger than before

I cannot think anymore

Like ice in the sun I melt away

Whenever she comes I melt away

Like in in the sun I melt away

Like ice in the sun I melt away

Whenever she comes I melt away

Like ice in the sun I melt away

letra de Down The Dustpipe
Heading down the back turnpike, signposts are pointing west

Fell into the lonely dustpipe, hope my pick-up can stand the test

But I'm doing all right now

Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans

Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans

But I'm doing all right now

Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Guess I didn't make it in the city, but that's just the way that it goes

'Cos there's a lotta lunatics, crazy ghostmen, baby, don't like the shape of my nose

But I'm doing all right now

Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans

Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans

But I'm doing all right now

Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans

Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans

But I'm doing all right now.....

Paper PlaneVer letra

[X]
letra de Paper Plane
Riding on a big white butterfly

I turned my back away towards the sky

I closed my eyes to look for something

Saw myself as really nothing

Then I realised my butterfly

Wasn't really up there with me

We all make mistakes, forgive me

Would you like to ride my butterfly

Riding on a long blue paperplane

Getting seasick, sorry once again

Landing strip is getting nearer

Hope the foglifts, make it clearer

Then I realised my paperplane

Wasn't really up there with me

We all make mistakes, forgive me

Would you like to ride my paperplane

Riding in a three grand Deutche car

A to B is often very far

Home is near, but such a long way

Legs and heads all feel the wrong way

Then I realised my Deutche car

Is only there to get me somewhere

Even so I really do care

Would you like to ride my Deutche car
Mean GirlVer letra

letra de Mean Girl
Now I'm a sad one, and she was a bad one

A mean, mean girl

I never had one as greedy as that one

A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

She said I was the first but there were many more

She was a big one, a met-at-a-gig once

A mean, mean girl

I felt a sick one, she was a quick one

A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

She said I was the first but there were many more

Now I'm a sad one, and she was a bad one

A mean, mean girl

I never had one as greedy as that one

A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

She said I was the first but there were many more

She was a big one, a met-at-a-gig once

A mean, mean girl

I felt a sick one, she was a quick one

A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl

She said I was the first but there were many more
Break The RulesVer letra

[X]
letra de Break The Rules
Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar

Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car

I asked no questions, I got no lies

A one off winner, I didn't want any ties

And I knew it wasn't right

Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour

And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel

Tower

She stopped the motor by her own front door

I knew she'd done it so many times before

But I was off of the floor

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down

'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town

Then I saw the face from the night before

My purse was empty lying there on the floor

But like I told you before

That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool

And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Get down deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

I want all the world to see

To see you're laughing, and you're laughing at me

Again again again again

Again again again and deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

Get down deeper and down

I have all the ways you see

To keep you guessing, stop your messing with me

Again again again again

Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

Down down deeper and down

Roll Over Lay DownVer letra

letra de Roll Over Lay Down
When I got home that night early one morning

Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door

Drinking the drink cold from the fridge on the table

I drank a toast you were the most the night before

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over it's a long way where I've been

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning

Show me the care you showed in the note the night before

Maybe I won't take a drink from the table

Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over it's a long way where I've been

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning

Show me the day, show me the note the night before

Maybe I won't take a drink from the table

Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over it's a long way where I've been

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over lay down
RainVer letra

letra de Rain
How can I see what I'm needing for

How can I give what I gave before

How can you tell me that you want me to stay

How can I stay when I'm trying to say

That I can't live without the rain

Yes I can't live without the rain

How can I feel what I'm trying to feel

How can I move when I'm heel to heel

You're always shouting about the doubt in my eyes

But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry

Now I can't live without the rain

Yes I can't live without the rain

Now I can't live without the rain

That's falling on my head

Rain that's falling on my head

Rain that's falling

Rain that's falling

Rain that's falling on my head

I started thinking back to you know when

I'd like to send a line but then again

How can I write you when there ain't no light?

I'm feeling tired tonight but that is all right

Now I can't live without the rain

Yes I can't live without the rain
Mystery SongVer letra

letra de Mystery Song
I see that look on your face

I see that look on your face

I see that look on your face, oh-oh-oh

The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun

And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run

S.T.'s showing, you really got me going maybe you can give me a price

I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it, tell me would you treat me nice

Oh my legs are shaking, oh my heart is breaking

I'm just feeling like a boy

Now I just can't slow down, gotta get in, go down

Have my share of what a joy

Now I've got your name and number, I like to look upon your face

And now you know that I wanna take you, give me the time you can name

the place

Call me honey, you can take my money, baby we can make a deal

I really mean it, gotta get between it, do you know the way I feel?

Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a way to make you understand

Oh I know you're lying and your love I'm buying

Oh I'm feeling like a man

The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun

And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run

S.T.'s showing, really got them going, you can even say the price

They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it if you really treat them nice

But I'd rather take you, show that I can make you

Good enough for just one man

Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a

Way to make you understand

Hold You BackVer letra

letra de Hold You Back
How d'you know the music when you don't know the score

Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more

Is it really the reason when it is not a need

Are you trying hard to write it before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Slow you down, you've gotta try

Does the clock that you're watching ever tell you 'bout the time

Does the song that you're singing sound to you like a rhyme

Will there be an answer when you stop asking why

All because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Slow you down, you've gotta try

How d'you know the music when you don't know the score

Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more

Is it really the reason when it is not a need

Are you trying hard to write it before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Slow you down, you've gotta try

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down, slow you down

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Again And AgainVer letra

letra de Again And Again
Once upon a time not so very long ago

There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show

You had to sit at home and listen to the radio

Then came a man with a rockin' guitar

Found himself a beat and he played it near and far

Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Again again again again again again again again

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band

He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand

Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear

Nobody cared about the colour of his hair

Everybody came to see and let the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Again again again again again again again again

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock

Time didn't matter never living by the clock

Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll

Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme

He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time

But still the people came to listen to the good times roll

Again again again again again again again again

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Again again again again again again again again

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Again again again again again again again again

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Accident ProneVer letra

letra de Accident Prone
I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another

Who just wants to hit and run

Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone

And I hope that you have your fun

They say the devil loves his own and lady you just got to roll

He drives your modus-operandi, well lady you don't get this soul

What you call love I can't take no more

Go knock on someone else's door

I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another

Who just wants to hit and run

Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone

And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise in your own kind of lies

Baby, you just hit and run

I just wanna say you keep driving that way

And one day you will be undone

I tried to love you my way but lady you just wouldn't slow down

You drove right on through me when other guys came around

What you call love wouldn't give to a stray

I wouldn't treat a dog that way

I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another

Who just wants to hit and run

Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone

And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialize in your own kind of lies

Baby you just hit and run

I just wanna say you keep driving that way

And one day you will be undone

One day you'll have to slow down and lady it could be too late

You keep on accelerating and lady I can see your fate

No one wants a second-hand car

They know it's been pushed too far

I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another

Who just wants to hit and run

Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone

And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialize in your own kind of lies

Baby you just hit and run

You're dragging me down with this riding around

And one day you will be undone

I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another

Who just wants to hit and run

Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone

And I hope that you have your fun

Whatever you want

Whatever you like

Whatever you say

You pay your money

You take your choice

Whatever you need

Whatever you use

Whatever you win

Whatever you lose

You're showing off

You're showing out

You look for trouble

Turn around, give me a shout

I take it all

You squeeze me dry

And now today

You couldn't even say goodbye

I could take you home

On the midnight train again

I could make an offer you can't refuse

Whatever you want

RunawayVer letra

letra de Runaway
Riding on a high

Riding so high now I'm leaving

Am I running far from my own fears

I'm never facing up

I never face up to the reasons

And never showing any of my tears

Cos I

Leave out the back way

Not the way that I came in

Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time

And then I run, run, run

And seek a hideaway

I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling

Run, run I'm a runaway

Can I go back

Can I go back where I started

I always will remember my needs

Take me far away

Take me away to an island

And leave me hear to cry in my own tears

Try me once again

Try me again when you're passing

Maybe I'll remember you in years

I can't go out the back way

Just the way that I came in

I hope it seems like the logical way, at the time

Beacuse I'll run, run, run

And seek a hideaway

I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling

Run, run I'm a runaway

Can I go back

Can I go back where I started

I always will remember my needs

Looking for so long

But I am listening longer

I haven't seen or heard a thing from you

I can't stay here

I couldn't stay here if you paid me

I can't give you any guarantees

I won't

Go out the back way

Not the way that I came in

Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time

And then I run, run, run

And seek a hideaway

I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling

Run, run I'm a runaway

Can I go back

Can I go back where I started

I always will remember my needs

Can I go back

Can I go back where I started

I always will remember my needs

I always will remember my needs

I said,I always will remember my needs

LiesVer letra

letra de Lies
I had another drink after another drink and then I tried to crawl to the door

I had another smoke after another joke and then I couldn't take any more

It didn't change a thing, not any single thing, when someone tried to tell me for sure

I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream

I read a word or two about everything

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes they won't go away

And the times that I tried are the times that I find they don't show today

But you make me feel so good

I woke up after four, still lying on the floor, and waiting to be carried away

I woke up once again, a little after ten, will things be any better today

It doesn't change you see, it only changes me, well someone tried to tell me I'm sure

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today

But you make me feel so good

I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule, and see if I get carried away

I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again, don't listen what the people might say

It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing, well someone tried to tell me for sure

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today

But you make me feel so good

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between

I never knew the way that it oughta have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

letra de Dear John
Everybody was talkin' to me like I was a child

In their words I could hear them saying it's just a matter of time

Any way it's a long, long race been run

Anyway it's a sad, sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said, sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away

Vanity is a hard old lady, you can't read her mind

I'm a fool but I don't fool easy while you're foolin' around

Anyway I can hold my own tonight

I admit I was wrong and you were right

Dear John goodbye she said, sometimes it's hard she said

Dear John I've broken away

letra de Marguerita Time
Captured my heart, captured my memory

Captured a time for me, I could see

A time for me was gonna be

Deep in my heart, deep in my memory

Deep in a part of me, heart of me

Meant to be history

Could it be that I'm still wondering

I never knew what had happened to me

I didn't think it was true

That I could be just like anyone else

I'll take my chance with you

Picture a dream, picture a fantasy

Picture the mood of me, mystery

You and me, a mystery

Lost in a dream, lost in a fantasy

Lost in what seemed to be dreams to me

Seemed to be, had to be

Couldn't find no other reason

I never knew what had happened to me

I didn't think it was true

That I could be just like anyone else

I'll take my chance with you

Let's have a drink, it's Marguerita time

It's Marguerita time, after nine

Summertime, anytime

You'll still always find me wondering

I never knew what had happened to me

I didn't think it was true

That I could be just like anyone else

I'll take my chance with you

letra de In The Army Now
A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood, nobody knows that you've left for good

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land, but once you get there no-one gives a damn

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head

Missiles flying over your head, if you want to survive get out of bed

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls 'Stand up and fight!'

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight, your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see, is this illusion or reality?

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now

You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now

Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now

Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now

Oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now
