CHRIS CORNELL - TWO DRINK MINIMUM

En ese pedazo de plástico donde está contenida la última bazof... digo, el último trabajo de Chris Cornell llamado Scream (pedazo de grito darás cuando lo escuches...) hay también una buena hidden track (entre la hojarasca, ya se sabe...):


So open promise fades
and the sun forgets to rise
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
but it's better I stay dry
No more than two drinks away
from crying

Stare into the glass
and wait for the time to pass
And thank you for the offer
but you know I must decline
No more than two drinks away
from crying

There used to be a time
When I could hold my head up high
My life stretched out before me
and rivers flowed with wine
and had my love beside me
and everything was fine
But now the ride is over
It's hard to say goodbye

So open promise fades
and midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow
but I cannot tell a lie
No more than two drinks away
from crying

MONSTER MAGNET - LOOK TO YOUR ORB FOR THE WARNING

Creo que la web http://www.goear.com/ va a dar mucho juego para colocar material en mi cuaderno... Os dejo con uno de los mayores exponentes del stoner rock (con gran influencia del rock psicodélico de los 70), Monster Magnet son algo así como la expresión de lo que hoy haría Black Sabbath si Ozzy Osbourne no se hubiera convertido en Pozí Osbourne (os remito a ese gran reality show que dedican a tan ilustre familia del metal) y si los 80 no hubieran existido (y mucho menos en el terreno del rock). Vivan las guitarras eléctricas y los amplificadores Marshall...


Goin' down now

The mountain screamed three times today
I guess it thought i like to play
How much does one have to pay
To fry a peak and melt away
Launching titan's breath on mine
The sweating measure lands on time

And the old man, down by the river
Well he walks up and he walks on down
To the spaceship that's parked at your doorstep
And it's waiting to take you away now

Goin' down now

Looking for the rat that crowed
He's hooked up down to Mexico
Slap my nerve now, give me more
It's my disaster friend, not yours

And the old man, down by the river
Well he gets up and he walks on down
To the spaceship that's parked at your doorstep
And it's waiting to take you away now

It's down by the river, it's always this way now
It's down by the river, it's always this way now
Goin' down now, goin' down now

HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH - BE THE ONE

Una de mis canciones favoritas de este grupo americano. Espero que os quedéis con el nombre porque merece mucho la pena escucharlos:


I wonder
Why are we involved
With the seasons
And the living of our own
Let me see if nothing's wrong
I just want to be the one

(She) wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
I'll just make it out

(We don't see it bleeding)
I want to die with you
(Something no ones needing)

I left the other day
But you're never here
You only listen to things you want to save
But the power it's ok with you
You knew I'd find something else to do

Let me be the one
(we don't see it bleeding)
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you
Something no ones

See it's not like they
Are gonna take my faith away
Let me in it's ok now
Close the door

Is it really needing
When you find a place
That's only yours

Just go he beams
Well I've died for good now
Let me feel it
Let her come---let her run---let her run

(Now)
Let me be the one
(We don't see it bleeding)
I can't feel it, I can't see it
(Something no ones needing)
I feel dumb
