Objection (tango)

 

It’s not her fault that she’s so irresistible

But all the damage she’s caused isn’t fixable

Every twenty seconds you repeat her name

But when it comes to me you don’t care

If I’m alive or dead

 

So objection I don’t want to be the exception

To get a bit of your attention

I love you for free and I’m not your mother

But you don’t even bother

 

Objection I’m tired of this triangle

Got dizzy dancing tango

I’m falling apart in your arms again

No way I’ve got to get away

 

Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal

That’s why in front of your eyes I’m invisible

But you gotta know small things also count

You better put your feet o the ground

And see what it’s about

 

objection I don’t want to be the exception

To get a bit of your attention

I love you for free and I’m not your mother

But you don’t even bother

 

Objection I’m tired of this triangle

Got dizzy dancing tango

I’m falling apart in your arms again

No way I’ve got to get away

 

I wish there was a chance for

You and me

I wish you couldn't find a place

to be away from me

 

This is pathetic

And sardonic

And sadistic

And psychotic

Tango is not for three

Was never meant to be

But you can try it

Rehearse it

Or train like a horse

But don't you count on me

Don't you count on me boy

 

Underneath your clothes

 

You're a song

Written by the hands of god

Don't get me wrong cause

This might sound to you a bit odd

But you own the place

Where all my thoughts go hiding

And right under your clothes

Is where I find them

 

Underneath Your Clothes

There's an endless story

There's the man I chose

There's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

Because of you

I forgot the smart ways to lie

Because of you

I'm running out of reasons to cry

When the friends are gone

When the party's over

We will still belong to each other

 

Underneath Your Clothes

There's an endless story

There's the man I chose

There's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

I love you more than all that's on the planet

Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing

You know it's true

Oh baby it's so funny

You almost don't believe it

As every voice is hanging from the silence

Lamps are hanging from the ceiling

Like a lady tied to her manners

I'm tied up to this feeling

 

Underneath Your Clothes

There's an endless story

There's the man I chose

There's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

 

Whenever wherever

 

Lucky you were born that far away so

We could both make fun of distance

Luck that I love a foreign land for

The lucky fact of your existence

 

Baby I would climb the Andes solely

To count the freckles on your body

Never could imagine there were only

Ten Million ways to love somebody

 

Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le

Can't you see

I'm at your feet

 

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal my dear

 

Thereover, hereunder

You'll never have to wonder

We can always play by ear

But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble

They spill kisses like a fountain

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble

So you don't confuse them with mountains

Lucky I have strong legs like my mother

To run for cover when I need it

And these two eyes that for no other

The day you leave will cry a river

 

Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le

Can't you see

I'm at your feet

 

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder

You'll never have to wonder

We can always play by ear

But that's the deal my dear

 

Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le

Think out loud

Say it again

 

Le do le le le le

Tell me one more time

That you'll live

Lost in my eyes

 

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal my dear

 

Thereover, hereunder

You've got me head over heals

There's nothing left to fear

If you really feel the way I feel

 

Rules

 

You have to swear

You've got love to love me

That will last forever

We must have a story

With a happy ending

?I swear to never go away?

And never put aside

The things I'm gonna say

Cuz these are rules for us

 

Use your eyes only to look at me

Use your mouth only to kiss my lips

We are branches of the same old tree

You can laugh only if you laugh at me

You can cry only if you cry for me

Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Can't you see

You always were

You'll always be

 

You used to say

I should see a doctor

Who would keep me busy

Cuz a jealous woman

Never makes it easy

And you know I'll defrost

Whatever seems right

But it may take a while

Before I change the rules

 

The one

 

So I find a reason to shave my legs

Each single morning

So I count on someone on Friday nights

To take me dancing again

To church on Sundays

To plant more trees

And someday think of kids

Or maybe just save a little money

 

You're the one I need

The way back home is always long

But if you're close to me I'm holding on

You're the one I need

My real life has just begun

Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun

 

In the world full of strangers

You're the one I know

 

So I learned to cook and finally lose

My kitchen phobia

And so I got the arms to cuddle in

When there's a ghost or a news

That brings insomnia

To buy more thongs

To write more happy songs

It always takes a little help from someone

 

You're the one I need

The way back home is always long

But if you’re close to me

I’m holding on

You're the one I need

My real life has just begun

Cause there’s nothing like

Your smile made of sun

 

You're the one I need

You're the one I need

Nothing like your smile made of sun

Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love

 

Ready for the good times

 

I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head

Time will bring them back I bet

So if you hear me say that I believe in love

Don't make me feel ashamed

I used to sing the saddest songs

And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my door

Falling back down to the floor

I used to read survival guides

When my world was full of seven legged cats

But here a I am with eight more lives

 

I'm ready for the good times

I'm ready for the good times

Ready to get it on

I'm ready for the good times

I'm ready for the good times

Now that I'm not alone

 

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

You know it

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

You better not

Ignore it

 

I don't wanna look at fashion magazines

While someone does my nails

Sitting here watching other people live

Frozen by the fear to fail

Cause, everyday there's a war to fight

And if I win or lose never mind

As long as you're my shelter every night

I used to cry against a wall

But now I've got a shoulder

That I can lean on

Swear to me you won't be gone

 

I'm ready for the good times

I'm ready for the good times

Ready to get it on

I'm ready for the good times

I'm ready for the good times

Now that I'm not alone

 

Fool

 

Tell me lies

slap me on the face

just improvise

do something

really clever

that'll make me hate

your name forever

 

You might swear

you'd never

touch a lady

well, let me say

you're not too far

from maybe

every day you find

new ways to hurt me

 

But I can't help it

if I'm just a fool

always having my heart

set on you

'til the time

you start changing

the rules

I'll keep chasing

the soles

of your shoes

 

Fool

Got resigned from

hearing my own story

every night I'm paying

hell for glory

I'm embarrassed but

I'm much more sorry

All this pain begins

to feel like pleasure

with more tears

you'd make a sea

of desert

salt my wounds

and I'll keep

saying thank you

 

But I can't help it

if I'm just a fool

always having my heart

set on you

'til the time

you start changing

the rules

I'll keep chasing

the soles

of your shoes

 

Fool

 

But I can't help it

if I'm just a fool

always having my heart

set on you

'til the time

you start changing

the rules

I'll keep chasing

the soles

of your shoes

 

Fool

I can't help it baby

Fool

I can't help it baby

Fool

I can't help it baby

Fool

I can't help it baby

Fool

I'm a fool

I'm a fool

 

Te Dejo Madrid

 

uh... ah ah

si, ya es hora de esconder

del mundo el dolor

bajo la piel

 

yo se que estare bien

los gatos como yo

caen de pie

 

no quiero

jugar mi suerte por ti

y no puedo

con fui pequeña vivir

pronto estare de aqui

muy muy lejos

 

ay me voy otra vez

ay te dejo Madrid

las rutinas de piel

y tus ganas de huir

 

yo no quiero cobardes

que me hagan sufrir

mejor le digo adios

a tu boca de anis

 

si, ya es hora de limpiar

las manchas de miel

sobre el mantel

 

yo nunca supe actuar

mis labios se ven

muertos de sed

 

no quiero

dejarlo todo al azar

entiendo

que he comenzado a estorbar

pronto estare de ti

muy muy lejos

 

hay me voy otra vez

hay te dejo Madrid

las rutinas de piel

y tus ganas de huir

 

yo no quiero cobardes

que me hagan sufrir

mejor le digo adios

a tu boca de anis

 

ah, aah

 

ay te dejo madrid

madrid

a tu boca de anis

a tu boca de anis

 

Poem to a horse

 

You're to far to bring you close

And too high to see below

just hangin' on your daily dose

I know you never needed anyone

But the rolling papers for your grass

How can you give what you don't have?

 

You keep on aiming for the top

And quit before you sweat a drop

Feed your empty brain with your hydroponics’ pot

You start out playing with yourself

You get more fun within your shell

Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way

 

I leave again

Cuz I've been waiting in vain

But you're so in love with yourself

If I say my heart is sore

Sounds like a cheap metaphor

So I won't repeat it no more

 

I'd rather eat my soup with a fork

Or drive a cab to New York

Cuz to talk to you is harder work

So what's the point of wasting all my words

If it's just the same or even worse

Than reading poems to a horse

 

You keep on aiming for the top

And quit before you sweat a drop

Feed your empty brain with your hydroponics’ pot

I bet you'll find someone like you

Cuz there's a foot for every shoe

I wish you luck but I've got other things to do

 

Que Me quedes tu

 

Que se arruinen los canales de noticias

Con lo mucho que odio la television

Que se vuelvan anticuadas las sonrisas

Y se extingan todas las puestas de sol

Que se supriman las doctrinas y deberes

Que se terminen las peliculas de accion

Que se destruyan en el mundo los placeres

Y que se escriba hoy una ultima cancion

 

Pero que me quedes tu

Y me quede tu abrazo

Y el beso que inventas cada dia

Y que me quede aqui

Despues del ocaso

Para siempre tu melancolia

Porque yoooo, yoo si, si

Que dependo de ti

Y si me quedas tu

Me queda la vida

 

Que desaparezcan todos los vecinos

Y se coman las sobras de mi inocencia

Que se vayan uno a uno los amigos

Y acribillen mi pedazo de conciencia

Que se consuman las palabras en los labios

Que contaminen todo el agua del planeta

O que renuncien los filantropos y sabios

Y que se muera hoy hasta el ultimo poeta

 

Pero que me quedes tu

Y me quede tu abrazo

Y el beso que inventas cada dia

Y que me quede aqui

Despues del ocaso

Para siempre tu melancolia

Porque yoooo, yoo si, si

Que dependo de ti

Y si me quedas tu

Me queda la vida...

 

Eyes like yours

 

Oh, you know I have seen

A sky without sun

A man with no nation

Saints captive in chains

A song with no name

For lack of imagination

Ya he ya he ya la he

And I have seen

Darker than ebony

Ya he ya he ya la he

You know it seems that I

Without your eyes

Could never be

 

My one desire

All I aspire

Is in your eyes

Forever to live

Traveled all over

Crossed lands and oceans

There's nothing

That I wouldn't give

 

Came from Bahrein

Got to Beirut

Looking for someone

Comparing to you

Tearing down

Windows and doors

And I could not

Find eyes like yours

 

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii

Fi ainaiha aralhayati

Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni

Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

 

Came from bahrein

Got to Beirut

Looking for someone

Comparing to you

Tearing down

Windows and doors

And I could not

Find eyes like yours

 

Oh, you know I have seen

A woman of means and rags

And begging for pleasure

Crossed a river of salt

The specter I rode

The ship that sank

In the desert

 

Ya he ya he ya la he

And I have seen

Darker than ebony

Ya he ya he ya la he

You know it seems that I

Without your eyes

Could never be

 

My one desire

All I aspire

Is in your eyes

Forever to live

Traveled all over

Crossed lands and oceans

There's nothing

That I wouldn't give

 

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii

Fi ainaiha aralhayati

Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni

Arjouka labbi labbi nidai
