    letra de The Lazarus Heart

    He looked beneath his shirt today
    There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
    From the wound a lovely flower grew
    From somewhere deep inside
    He turned around to face his mother
    To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand
    But the sword that cut him open
    Was the sword in his mother's hand
    Every day another miracle
    Only death will tear us apart
    To sacrifice a life for yours
    I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart
    The blood of the lazarus heart
    Though the sword was his protection
    The wound itself would give him power
    The power to remake himself
    At the time of his darkest hour
    She said the wound would give him courage and pain
    The kind of pain that you can't hide
    From the wound a lovely flower grew
    From somewhere deep inside
    Every day another miracle
    Only death will keep us apart
    To sacrifice a life for yours
    I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart
    The blood of the lazarus heart
    Birds on the roof of my mother's house
    I've no stones that chase them away
    Birds on the roof of my mother's house
    Will sit on my roof someday
    They fly at the window, they fly at the door
    Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore
    She counts all her children as a shield against the rain
    Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower to the rain
    Every day another miracle
    Only death will keep us apart
    To sacrifice a life for yours
    I'd be the blood of the lazarus heart
    The blood of the lazarus heart

    letra de Be Still My Beating Heart

    Be still my beating heart
    it would be better to be cool
    it's not time to be open just yet
    a lesson once learned is so hard to forget
    be still my beating heart
    or i'll be taken for a fool
    it's not healthy to run at this pace
    the blood runs so red to my face
    i've been to every single book i know
    to soothe the thoughts that plague me so
    I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
    my logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
    stop before you start
    be still my beating heart
    Be still my beating heart
    you must learn to stand your ground
    it's not healthy to run at this pace
    the blood runs so red to my face
    i've been to every single book i know
    to soothe the thoughts that plague me so
    stop before you start
    be still my beating heart
    Never to be wrong
    never to make promises that break
    it's like singing in the wind
    or writing on the surface of a lake
    and i wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
    struggle to avoid any help at hand
    I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
    my logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
    stop before you start
    be still my beating heart

    letra de Englishman In New York

    I don't drink coffee I take tea, my dear.
    I like my toast done on one side.
    And you can hear it in my accent when I talk,
    I'm an Englishman in New York.

    You see me walking down Fifth Avenue,
    A walking cane here at my side.
    I take it everywhere I walk,
    I'm an Englishman in New York.

    Whoa. I'm an alien.
    I'm a legal alien.
    I'm an Englishman in New York.
    Whoa. I'm an alien.
    I'm a legal alien.
    I'm an Englishman in New York.

    If "manners maketh man" as someone said,
    He's the hero of the day.
    It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.

    Whoa. I'm an alien.
    I'm a legal alien.
    I'm an Englishman in New York.
    Whoa. I'm an alien.
    I'm a legal alien.
    I'm an Englishman in New York.

    Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety,
    But you could end up as the only one.
    Gentleness, sobriety are so rare in this society.
    At night a candle's brighter than the sun.

    Takes more than combat gear to make a man.
    Takes more than a license for a gun.
    Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can.
    A gentleman will walk but never run.

    If "manners maketh man" as someone said,
    He's the hero of the day.
    It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.
    Be yourself no matter what they say.

  4. History Will Teach Us NothingVer letra 5:07

    letra de History Will Teach Us Nothing

    If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
    Security in human systems we're told will always always last
    Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
    Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast
    If god is dead and an actor plays his part
    His words of fear will find a place in your heart
    Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
    Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
    Sooner or later just like the world first day
    Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
    Sooner or later just like the world first day
    Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
    Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away

    History will teach us nothing
    History will teach us nothing
    Our written history is a catalogue of crime
    The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
    The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
    The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child
    Sooner or later
    Sooner or later
    Sooner or later
    Sooner or later
    Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong
    Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
    A simple act of faith
    In reason over might
    To blow up his children will only prove him right
    History will teach us nothing
    Sooner or later just like the world first day
    Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
    Sooner or later just like the world first day
    Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
    Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
    History will teach us nothing
    History will teach us nothing
    Know your human rights
    Be what you come here for
    Know your human rights
    Be what you come here for
    Know your human rights
    Be what you come here for
    Know your human rights
    Be what you come here for

    [X]

    letra de Fragile

    If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
    Drying in the colour of the evening sun
    Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
    But something in our minds will always stay
    Perhaps this final act was meant
    To clinch a lifetime's argument
    That nothing comes from violence
    And nothing ever could
    For all those born beneath an angry star
    Lest we forget how fragile we are
    On and on the rain will fall
    Like tears from a star
    Like tears from a star
    On and on the rain will say
    How fragile we are
    How fragile we are
    On and on the rain will fall
    Like tears from a star
    Like tears from a star
    On and on the rain will say
    How fragile we are
    How fragile we are
    How fragile we are
    How fragile we are

    letra de Straight To My Heart

    Well in a hundred years from now
    They will attempt to tell us how
    A scientific means to bliss
    Will supercede the human kiss
    A sub atomic chain
    Will maybe galvanize the brain
    A biochemic trance
    Will eliminate romance
    But why ever should we care
    When there are arrows in the air
    Formed by lovers' ancient art
    That go straight to my heart

    A future sugar coated pill
    Would give our lovers time to kill
    I think they're working far too much
    For the redundancy of touch
    But what will make me yours
    Are a million deadly spores
    Formed by lovers' ancient art
    That go straight to my heart
    Come into my door
    Be the light of my life
    Come into my door
    You'll never have to sweep the floor
    Come into my door
    Be the light of my life
    Come into my door
    Come and be my wife
    I'll be true. to no one but you
    If it's a future world we fear
    We have tomorrow's seeds right here
    For you can hold them in your hand
    Or let them fall into the sand
    But if our love is pure
    The only thing of which we're sure
    Then you can play your part
    And go straight to my heart
    If i should seek immunity
    And love you with impunity
    Then the only thing to do
    Is for me to pledge myself to you
    But they only dealt one card
    So for me it is not hard
    You're the bright star in my chart
    You go straight to my heart
    Come into my door
    Be the light of my life
    Come into my door
    You'll never have to sweep the floor
    Come into my door
    Be the light of my life
    Come into my door
    Come and be my wife
    I'll be true. to no one but you

    letra de Rock Steady

    Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye
    I said to my baby this sounds like the ticket for you and i
    It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip
    To commune with mother nature on a big wooden ship
    We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free
    There was an old guy with a beard
    And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see
    This old guy was the boss he said "i won't tell you no lie
    But there's more to this journey than is apparent to the eye"
    He said he'd heard god's message on the radio
    It was going to rain forever and he'd told him to go
    "i'll protect you all don't worry i'll be father to you all
    I'll save two of every animal, no matter how small
    But i'll need some assistants to look after the zoo
    I can't see nobody better so you'll just have to do"
    I said, "just tell me something before it's too late and we're gone
    I mean just how safe is this boat we'll be on?"
    "it's rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady"
    It rained for forty days and forty long nights
    I'd never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend
    Was being proved right
    We had no time to worry though there was just too much to do
    Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo
    We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too
    We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo
    She said, "hey baby i don't mean to be flip
    But it seems this old man is on some power trip"
    I said, "no, no sugar you must be wrong
    I mean look at the size of this boat we're on.
    We're as safe as houses, as safe as mother's milk
    He's as cool as november and as smooth as china silk
    He's god's best friend, he's got a seat on the board
    And life may be tough but we're sailing with the lord."
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Woke up this morning and something had changed
    Like a room in my house had just been rearranged
    She said, "it's stopped raining and i know the guy's kind
    But if we stay here much longer i'm gonna lose my mind."
    So we said we had a mission for his favorite dove
    To see if there was any mercy from this great god above
    So to find dry land, away the white bird flew
    We didn't need no country just a rock would do
    When the dove came back to us he threw down a twig
    It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig
    "but the rock's too small," he said, "can't you see?"
    I said, "it's just perfect for her, it's perfect for me."
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady
    Rock steady / rock steady

    letra de Sister Moon

    Sister moon will be my guide
    In your blue blue shadows i would hide
    All good people asleep tonight
    I'm all by myself in your silver light
    I would gaze at your face the whole night through
    I'd go out of my mind but for you
    Lying in a mother's arms
    The primal root of a woman's charms
    I'm a stranger to the sun
    My eyes are too weak
    How cold is a heart
    When it's warmth that he seeks?
    You watch every night, you don't care what i do
    I'd go out of my mind, but for you
    I'd go out of my mind, but for you
    My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
    My hunger for her explains everything i've done
    To howl at the moon the whole night through
    And they really don't care if i do
    I'd go out of my mind, but for you
    Sister moon

  2. Mario López Mineros: Me parece a nivel muy personal que éste disco a sido uno de sus mejores trabajos, excelente producción.
