Here comes the Hotstepper

Nah, na na na nah, na na na nah, na na nah, na na nah, na na na nah

 

Here comes the hotstepper, murderer
I’m the lyrical gangster, murderer
Pick up the crew in-a de area, murderer
Still love you like that, murderer

No, no, we don’t die
Yes, we multiply
Anyone test will hear the fat lady sing
Act like you know, Rico

Touch them up and go, uh-oh
Ch-ch-chang-chang

Here comes the hotstepper, murderer
I’m the lyrical gangster, murderer
Excuse me mister officer, murderer
Still love you like that, murderer

Extraordinary
Juice like a strawberry
Money to burn baby, all of the time
Cut to fade is me
Fade to cut is she
Come juggle with me, I say every time

Here comes the hotstepper, murderer
I’m the lyrical gangster, murderer
Dial emergency number, murderer
Still love you like that, murderer

Nah, na na na nah, na na na nah, na na nah, na na nah, na na na nah
It’s how we do it man
Nah, na na na nah, na na na nah, na na nah, na na nah, na na na nah

Start like a jackrabbit

On the night is jack , that’s it, understand

His are left in gold, maybe
Ain’t no homey gonna play me, top celebrity man

Murderer
I’m the lyrical gangster, murderer
Excuse me mister officer, murderer
Still love you like that, murderer

No, no, we don’t die

Anyone test will hear the fat lady sing
Act like you know, “G” go

This Picture

Me sigue encantando aunque ya la he escuchado centenares de veces. Placebo, en Sleeping with Ghosts.

“This Picture”

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Of cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night
Whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What’s wrong with this picture?
What’s wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it’s fated
(We) Disintegrated it
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it’s fated
(We) Assassinated it
For fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it’s fated
(We) Disintegrated it
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it’s fated
(We) Assassinated it
For fear of growing old

Hang on
Though we try
It’s gone
Hang on
Though we try
It’s gone

Sometimes it’s fated
(We) Disintegrated it
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it’s fated
(We) Assassinated it
For fear of growing old
Can’t stop growing old…

Downtown

Petula Clark, nació en 1932 en Inglaterra. Cantante y actriz, de família de artistas, a los 13 años empieza su incursión en la gran pantalla. A los 22 años arranca con su carrera en la música. Se estrena con The little shoemaker, al que le siguen Alone y Sailor, canción que llegó a ser nº1 en 1960. Su gran éxito es, sin duda, el tema Downtown, compuesto por Tony Hatch. Esta canción ha sido gravada por múltiples artistas, entre otros Frank Sinatra.

“Downtown”

When you’re alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you’ve got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown, things’ll be great when you’re
Downtown, no finer place for sure,
Downtown, everything’s waiting for you
(Downtown)

Don’t hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
You’ll be dancing with ‘em too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
Downtown, you’re gonna be alright now
(Downtown downtown)

Downtown
(Downtown)

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So, maybe I’ll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
Downtown, things’ll be great when you’re
Downtown, don’t wait a minute more,
Downtown, everything’s waiting for you

Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
(repeat and fade out)

El hombre orquesta

“Un israelí de 27 años nos obliga revisar ciertas creencias. A partir de un laborioso corta y pega de vídeos amateur de YouTube, Kutiman ha creado música sorprendente. Los críticos no salen de su asombro” La notícia completa en ELPAIS

Special K

Placebo de nuevo, en este caso, con el genial video de Special K, de su album Black Market Music.

“Special K”

Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just a leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief
I’ll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can the savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you’re back with dope demand
I’m on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping… not for free
I fall down… hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

I’ll describe the way I feel
You’re my new Achilles heel
Can this savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you’re back with dope demand
I’m on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping… not for free
I fall down… hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity [x4]

The Bitter End

The Bitter End es un single que aparece en Sleeping With Ghosts, de Placebo. Placebo es un grupo que tiene, a mi gusto, canciones geniales, como Special K, Every you every me, o la que me encanta, Jhonny & Mary. Un sonido muy particular el de esta banda.

“The Bitter End”

Since we’re feeling so anaesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

We’re running out of alibis
From the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter’s day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

Every step we take that’s synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
As you’re walking away
Reminds me that it’s killing time
On this fateful day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

From the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
Slow and sad, grown inside us
Arouse and see you’re mine
(See you at the bitter end)

Love has seen your run-around
Who wanna seek you now?
I want a peace
I’d whine out
(See you at the bitter end)

Love’s reached his side
Grab this gentleness inside
Heard a cry
Six feet down
In six weeks’ time
The mess you left
Will end
See you at the bitter end

Jason Mraz

I’m yours

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I’m trying to get back

Before the cool done run out, I’ll be giving it my bestest
And nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We’re just one big family
And it’s our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It’s what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m yours

Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won’t hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you’ll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I’m sure)

So please don’t, there’s no need
(There’s no need to complicate)
There’s no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
‘Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I’m yours

Oh, I’m yours
Oh, I’m yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I’m yours
You best believe, best believe I’m yours

Unbelievable

No sé mucho de música… seguramente sé muy poco de casi nada… pero me encantan las tonalidades de Craig David, el arrastrar de su voz… os dejo una de mis favoritas.

Always said I would know where to find love,
Always thought I’d be ready and strong enough,
But some times I just felt I could give up.
But you came and changed my whole world now,
I’m somewhere I’ve never been before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]
It’s so unbelievable,
And I don’t want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you’ve always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it’s so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I’d never thought I’d be.

In my heart, in my head, it’s so clear now,
Hold my hand you’ve got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you’ve rescued me some how-.
I’m alive, I’m in love you complete me,
And I’ve never been here before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]

When I think of what I have, and this chance I nearly lost,
I cant help but break down, and cry.
Ohh yeah, break down and cry.

[Chorus]

Now I see, what love means

Hysteria

it’s bugging me, grating me
and twisting me around
yeah i’m endlessly caving in
and turning inside out

’cause i want it now
i want it now
give me your heart and you soul
and i’m breaking out
i’m breaking out
last chance to lose control

it’s holding me, morphing me
and forcing me to strive
to be endlessly cold within
and dreaming i’m alive

’cause i want it now
i want it now
give me your heart and your soul
and i’m breaking down
i’m breaking out
last chance to lose control

and want you now
i want you now
i’ll feel my heart implode
and i’m breaking out
escaping now
feeling my faith erode

Send me an angel

Finalmente, después de bastante tiempo, recobramos una canción de nuestros conocidos Scorpions. Tal vez una de sus mejores canciones, send me an angel

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
