New identities
04:43
|
|||
|
Leaving old identities, am I going nowhere?
I’m leaving the city, I’m leaving myself,
leaving the life that I chose
I’m looking for new things, I’m looking for fun,
looking for new dreams around
Living in a better world or living on my own?
I’m leaving the city, I’m leaving myself,
leaving the life that I chose
I’m looking for new things, I’m looking for fun,
looking for new dreams around
THIS IS THE END OF MY LIFE AS I KNEW IT,
LOOKING FOR IDENTITIES
AND THIS SHOULD BE JUST ANOTHER BEGINNING
WITH A NEW IDENTITY
Always changing, never stop,
a new personality
Living in a better world or living on my own?
I’m leaving the city, I’m leaving myself,
leaving the life that I chose
I’m looking for new things, I’m looking for fun,
looking for new dreams around
THIS IS THE END OF MY LIFE AS I KNEW IT,
LOOKING FOR IDENTITIES
AND THIS SHOULD BE JUST ANOTHER BEGINNING
WITH A NEW IDENTITY
Always changing, never stop,
a new personality

My wedding
03:50
|
|||
|
I have had a strange dream (tonight), and I felt really scared
I married an ex-girlfriend and I can’t explain
I have never had a dream like that, and I felt really scared
I’m not in love now, but I married her
ALL MY FRIENDS SAID
THEY WANTED TO COME
THEY WANTED TO BE IN MY WEDDING
AND ALL MY FRIENDS CAME
TO KNOW JUST MY BRIDE
THEY DIDN’T WANT TO MISS MY WEDDING
The came from so far (away) just to know my bride
I married an ex-girlfriend and I can’t explain
I used to love her but I don’t love her now
I married an ex-girlfriend and now I can’t escape

The championship cup
02:13
|
|||
|
I always want what I don´t have
it´s such a strange desire
and I can´t feel fine
If I love you and you love me
we´d be almost happy,
always having fun in our car
If we can't wait for long
time won't be on our side
If we believe in what we do
we will be the winners
we will win the champinship cup
And all I see I cannot reach
it´s such a strange desire
and I can´t feel fine
What I´ve become is what I am
it´s such a strange way of life
and I wanna feel fine again

Found your smile
03:02
|
|||
|
One day I dreamt I´d fall in love again
that day I felt the magic in the air
And I took a step
I woke up and found your smile
I can remember the times you took my hand
and in the meantime we walked along the way
And I took a step
I woke up and found your smile,
I found your smile
I found your smile, I found your smile
And I took a step,
I woke up and found your smile
it was a lovely summer night
the shiny stars, the moon reflected in your eyes
the sound of wishes coming true
and time stopped and waves were all around us
I found your smile...

I'll never understand
02:51
|
|||
|
You say you love my band
but you don’t know any song
you say you love my badge
and you want just one of those
I THINK I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
I GUESS I’LL NEVER BE YOUR MAN
BUT I DON’T MIND IF YOU TAKE MY HAND
I can’t believe it’s true
it seems to be so strange
I love when you talk
and you love nothing at all
And I’ve learnt to say goodbye sometimes
since it’s hard to forget you when you leave
And I’ve learnt to say goodbye sometimes
since it’s hard to see you leave
I THINK I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
I GUESS I’LL NEVER BE YOUR MAN
BUT I DON’T MIND IF YOU TAKE MY HAND
I THINK I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
I GUESS I’LL NEVER BE YOUR MAN
BUT I DON’T MIND IF YOU TAKE MY HAND

No more parties
01:54
|
|||
|
I don´t want to give it up
though I know you´d love me to
Now I am sure of who you are
now you think you´re a star
No more parties
no more parties
now the party´s over,
the party´s over,
the party´s over now
I need to believe
these things we do are worthwhile despite
what you say, you were so cruel
go to hell, forget my name
I need to believe (that)
nothing´s going to stop me now

So well together
03:37
|
|||
|
Come here with me, come here with me
We could go to Madrid to spend the whole weekend
We’ll go to Espiral Pop, and then to Elastico
a beautiful weekend with some lovely friends
Let’s have a cup of tea, let’s have another beer
I want to see you smile, I want to see you dance
I want to see you talk, I want to see you walk
into the Nasti Club, and meet the modern scene
WE COULD BE SO WELL TOGETHER,
WE COULD GO TO WHERE YOU WANT TO
WE COULD BE SO WELL TOGETHER,
WE COULD GO TO WHERE YOU WANT TO
Where were you last night? What shall we do tonight?
We could go to a gig, to see The Flaming Lips
or to the cinema, to see Amelie
or we could go to sleep until the morning comes
Let’s have a cup of tea, let’s have another beer
I want to see you smile, I want to see you dance
I want to see you talk, I want to see you walk
into the Nasti Club, and meet the modern scene
Tonight we could spend an unforgettable night
and you’ll draw a simple smile on your ordinary days
Perhaps it’s a chance that we shouldn’t miss
why couldn’t we make it happen?

Friday night
02:05
|
|||
|
I don’t know what to do we could go out tonight
we should call Adam Green and have a party
A BOX OF BOTTLES OF RED WINE
A SEVEN INCH BY THE PIPETTES
IT’S A GOOD CHOICE
JUST FOR A FRIDAY NIGHT
We will bring our smiles and we’ll go dancing
we’ll go out on the streets, we won’t forget it
A BOX OF BOTTLES OF RED WINE
A SEVEN INCH BY THE LEMONHEADS
IT’S A GOOD CHOICE
JUST FOR A FRIDAY NIGHT
IT’S A GOOD TIME TO BE OUT TONIGHT
IT’S JUST SO NICE TO BE HERE

Keep away from me
02:35
|
|||
|
I don´t mind if you have won, I don´t mind if you lose
I don´t care if you get lost in the middle of the road
I just wanna go my way, so please, keep away from me
You may think this is not fair but I cannot be your friend
I´m afraid we won´t agree in what friendship means to me
and I want to go my way, so please, keep away from me
I don´t want to talk about the past
and I´ll try to forget all the harm
you did to me that day
Now I´m getting over it it will be hard to forgive
I´m afraid we won´t agree you were so false to me
and I want to go my way so please,
keep away from me

The story of my life
04:13
|
|||
|
Why don´t you sing the songs I write?
why don´t you tell me where I´ve gone wrong?
I will translate the words I say
so that you´ll understand them all
I only dream, my dreams don´t lie
I´m just a guy who loves his life
and it´s so beautiful, and it´s so magical
Why do I have to change my mind?
as I am now thirty-something
I left my job to stop and think
about the things that made me blind
I only dream, and dreams don´t lie
I´m just a guy who loves his life
and it´s so beautiful, and it´s so magical
And you may guess the story of my life
by the chords and words I write,
and I cannot hide
and if you seek, and read between the lines
you may find the meaning and that´s the story of my life
Now you can see what you have done
is that the life that you dreamt of?
and you may like another song
not this one, it´s up to you
I only dream, my dreams don´t lie
I´m just a guy who loves his life
and what have you done with yours?
and what have you done with yours?

It's only love
03:33
|
|||
|
I get high when I see you go by,
my oh my.
When you sigh, my, my insides just flies,
Butterflies.
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all,
why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all,
but it's so hard loving you.
Is it right that you and I should fight
ev’ry night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,
very bright.
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
It's only love and that is all,
why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
but it's so hard loving you
yes it's so hard loving you
loving you...

You make me fall in love
04:44
|
|||
|
In your eyes I get reflected
in your face I paint a smile
and that´s the way you make me fall in love
I was home thinking about us
took the phone, dialed your number
missed your voice that makes me fall in love
I don´t want it´s over now baby,
don´t say it´s over now,
don´t say it´s over now,
don´t say it´s over...
now that I feel that the girl
that I love is away,
far away from me,
Miles away from me,
sixty six miles away,
so far away from me...
Waves of sun, summer emotions
in my mind you´re an obsession
that´s the way you make me fall in love
I woke up too early in the morning
just to see that you´re by my side
and that´s the way that I´m still in love
