Grounded Ang Girlfriend Ko

 

Grounded ang girlfriend ko

(Hindi pinapagamit ng telepono)

Grounded ang girlfriend ko

(Me-balak pa namang sa Miyerkules mag-disco)

 

Ngunit hindi ko siya I-

Pagpapalit kahit na

Kanino (mang/pang) mas malaya…

 

Grounded ang girlfriend ko

(Hindi rin maaaring dumalaw sa kanila)

Grounded ang girlfriend ko

(Ayokong manood ng sineng mag-isa)

 

Heto’ng sabihin mo

Sa tatay mong…..

 

“Wag kang masyadong mag-aalala

 Lalo ka lamang tatanda

 Mabuti pa’y payagan mo na

 Ang prinsesang iniibig nating dal’wa.”

 


 

 

Rodeo

 

Rhinestone kid on a freeway star

An ’87 pick-up an’ a red guitar

Playin’ like an angel with a broken grin

A song o true love fo’ his girl Darlene

 

They haven’t seen each other for a year or so

Man, he misses her like we all miss that TV show

Where he first performed that love song ‘bout a year ago

Well, if ya haven’t heard it yet then this is how it goes…

 

RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh

Like the buffalos do it by the wishing well

‘Cause they ain’t got time no money for a cheap motel, yeah

RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh

Tell me what sweeter thing could happen to a boy an’ a girl?

We gotta do it like mechanical wabbits from hell, yeah

 

It was the sweetest song playin’ on the raid-eeh-oh

From the edge of Alabama down to Me-hee-ko

It was a number one hit but Darlene didn’t know

Whom her fav’rite song was fo

 

But everytime she hears it, her heart, like a gong,

Would tremble for the man for whom she longs

…for whom she longs….

And ‘en she starts to sing along…

 

RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh

We gotta do it for a reason, gotta do it for fun

We gotta sparkle like tequila in the hot…hot sun, yeah!

RODEO-uh-oh-oh-oh

We gotta do it like Sinatra used to do “My Way”

An’ in the background there’s that Beck dude singin’ Odelay

  

   


 

 

Shattered Like

 

You’re the night

In my days

That I fight to keep from coming

You’re the light

 When I pray

That I fear

 

I tried to tame you

I tried to open your mind

I tried to save you

You said its just a waste of time

‘Cause you were meant to explode one day

‘Cause you were built that way

Yeah you were built that way

 

I delight

In my pain

And I’m shattered like your promises

Though I try

To be sane

I’m just shattered like

Shattered like your promises

 

Heard you’ve been drinkin’

Heard you’ve been messin’ up your life like you did mine

Not long ago

That’s food for ego

That’s food for motherfuckin’ ego

Like I need it still

 

And while the record company awaits

A killer song I say:

“Tough luck!”

‘Cause I’m too crazy

And I’m too weak

And I’m too busy

Remembrin’ how to smile

And how to be happy   


 

 

May Kasalanan

 

May kasalanan ka sa akin

Bigla ka lang nawala

Iniwan mo akong mag-isa

Diba't nangako ka sa akin

Na hindi mo sasaktan

ang pusong sugatan

ano yan?

O, wag mo lang sabihin

(na hindi ko kaya 'to)

Ang mabuhay ng sarili

(na wala sa piling mo)

O, kelan pa kaya ako lalaya sayo

 

Ilang umaga nang lumipas 

Mahal pa rin kita 

Di ko malimot limot ang saya 

 

Sana'y sinabi mo sa akin 

Na may iba kana pala 

Nagmukha akong tanga 

 

O, wag mo lang sabihin 

(na hindi ko kaya 'to) 

Ang mabuhay ng sarili 

(na wala sa piling mo)

 

O, kelan pa kaya ako lalaya sayo 

 

La la la...... 

Kelan pa kaya ako lalaya sayo

 

 

 


(A Little) Sorry (Should Make Everything Alright)

 

Everything will

Everything will be fine

I’ll be yours and

You will again be mine

 

So you were wrong and I was right

But girl I know you’ve seen the light

A little sorry should make everything alright

 

Step on your pride

Don’t let her foil your play

Cause even all your heroes

Got their little feet o clay

 


   

 

 

Bagong Taon

 

Baby rocket

Bakit ang panget ng lipad?

Hindi deretso

Naisip ko tuloy ang buhay kong

Na’ng mawala ka’y

Naging trumpilyong

Paikot-ikot

Hanggang ito’y maubos…

 

Bagong Taon

Lumang problema

Kailan kaya ako

Liligaya?

 

Super Lolo

Ba’t ka ganyan?

Nambubulabog .

Naisip ko tuloy itong

Lumipas na pag-ibig

Paarang luses na

Pagka-liwa-liwanag

Pagka-iksi-iksi ng buhay…

 

Bagong Taon

Lumang problema

Kailan kaya tayo magsasama?

   


 

 

It's Getting Late

   

It’s getting late

I’m feeling funny

It’s getting late

I fear, uh oh

 

It’s getting late

The night is callin

It’s getting late

Out here, uh oh

 

We will

Ride the wings of moonlight

Through the stardust in the night

Till we’re

Gently kissed by daylight

You’ll be captive in my eyes

 

It’s getting late

I’m sure they worry

It’s getting late

My dear, uh oh

 

It’s getting late

I hear them callin’

“It’s getting late

Come home, come on,

come home, come on,

come home…”

How can I ride?

How can I fall?

How can I lay me down?

 

How can I run?

How can I leave and disappear?

 

How can I learn?

How can I follow?

How can I sympathize?

 

And what if I burn

What if tomorrow

Brings only melted ice?

 

How can I see

Right through my sorrows?

How do I get through lies, get through lies?

 

How can I breathe?

Whom do I turn to

If you’re not here…?

Here uh oh…

   


 

 

Nerbyoso

 

Isang gabing kasama ka

Walang ginagawang iba

Kundi mag-usap sa mata

 

Bigla akong tinawag

Uwian na pala

Pag-lingon ko'y wala ka na

 

Ilang  gabi na 'kong  lubhang nagdaramdam

Kahit pangalan mo'y hidi ko pa alam

 

Sasabihin ko na sana't

Aaminin sa iyo

Lahat lahat ng itinatago ng

Puso kong

Alipin ng kaba

Alam mo naman tayo

Walang magawa

Nerbyoso…

 

Nais ko sanang makapiling kang muli

Kahit saglit lang kahit lamang sandali

 

Pagka't ilang gabi na 'kong nagdaramdam

Pa'no  kung di ka na muling matagpuan

 

ilang gabi na 'kong  lubhang nagdaramdam

kase mahal kita hindi mo pa alam

Mother please be strong

Don't take it hard on yourself

Blame someone else

Don't let him slip away now  

Father's never home

'Coz life's been so hard since losin'

Losin' you

So please come home soon  

Mother please be strong

Don't take it hard on yourself

Blame someone else

Don't let him slip away now  

 

Near his sister stands alone

Who's to know she's okay

Go blame yourself

We've got to save her  

Children of the sun

Don't hide away from your pain

Please come back home

No, don't you run away now  

Mother please be strong

Blame someone else

Don't let him slip away now

Don't let him slip away now

Don't let him slip away....

...now.

 


 

 

Never Been Better

 

Suddenly I’m an aeroplane and

Suddenly I was high

Suddenly you did not glitter at all

 

Suddenly I forgot your face and

All of the things I liked

Finally I was able to control

 

I’m through with hurting you and

You won’t like the answer

So

Don’t ask me how I’m doin’

I’ve never been better

 

Suddenly I’m a locomotive

Glimmering in the sun

Suddenly I just felt like I had won

 

Over my loss of faith in kindness

Over my fear of you

Hurting me time and again unintentionally

 

 

 

 

 

She's So Uncool

 

Now it serves my evil purpose just to see her

Though I know now what she says is untrue

And the things she makes me count

But, for the record, count me out

”honey harder baby!” that's what she screamed

 

Now she makes me wait beneath the cloud of darkness

Like a lover in despair, I thank you

For the things you made me see

All through the madness

You taught me well, forget your wedding bells

 

Ah,  she's so uncool 

She's  the loneliness that hangs beneath your cradle 

Though you know that what I say it ain't true 

Well the gift I gave today don't really matter 

It's the clothes she wears, 

And the way she swears 

 

Ah,  she's so uncool 

Ah,  she's so uncool 

Ah,  she's so uncool

 

 

 

 

 

 

Homecoming

 

I get chills every morning

They make me strong

They make me strong  

 

By the lamp, by  the table

Your clothes are gone

I'm all alone  

 

While the sun is out to play

I look back and i just

Wait for you my love

Until the sun breaks free  

 

I packed my bags for  the journey

You said goodbye, our last goodbye

When I'm gone will you miss me?

I'm not letting go, i don't know  

   

While the sun is out to play

I look back and i just

Wait for you my love

Just wait for you my love

Until the sun breaks free  

 

Lover come home, lover come home...  

 

While the sun is out to play

I look back and i just

Say I can't be wrong

Just say I can't be wrong

It's you I want to be with  

Lover come home, lover come home...
