2.- Lyrics

(Part 1)

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit lonely

And you're never coming 'round

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit tired

Of listening to the sound of my tears

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit nervous

That the best of all the years have gone by

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit terrified

And then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then I fall apart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then

I fall apart

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit restless

And I dream of something wild

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit helpless

And I'm lying like a child in your arms

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit angry

And I know I've got to get out and cry

(Turn around)

Every now and then

I get a little bit terrified

But then I see the look in your eyes

(Part 2)

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then

I fall apart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then

I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

'Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

(Repeat Part 2)

A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around)

2.- Lyrics

Everyone you meet,

the children in the street

Are swayin' to the rhythm,

there's somethin' movin' in them

There's no place to hide,

so why even try?

Can't you hear it coming your way?

It's here to stay

Music in our walk,

music when we talk

It's really something magic,

to lose it would be tragic

Can't you feel the sound

movin' through the ground?

Music makes the world go around

(Chorus 1)

You can't stop the music,

nobody can stop the music

Take the cold from snow,

tell the trees, don't grow

Tell the wind, don't blow,

'cause it's easier

No, you can't stop the music,

nobody can stop the music

Take the spark from love,

make the rain fall up

'Cause that's easier to do

Movin' with the wind

since the world began

The beat is gonna get you,

beat is gonna get you

Music for the blues,

for your dancin' shoes

There's music in the way that we kiss,

you can't resist

Movin' through the trees,

buzzin' with the bees

The sound is gettin' louder,

sound is gettin' louder

Music when we play,

when we kneel to pray

There's music in the sound of the wind

You can't stop the music,

nobody can stop the music

Take the heat from flame,

try not feeling pain

Though you try in vain,

it's much easier

No, you can't stop the music,

nobody can stop the music

Change the master plan,

take the hope from man

'Cause that's easier to do

On the radio, on every TV show

For each and every reason,

each and every season

Music when we love

for the Moon above

Music for the show

of life that never ends

Music on a plane,

music on a train

Sailing on the ocean,

music in the motion

Music in your car,

at your local bar

There's music when you look at a star

(Chorus 2)

You can't stop the music,

nobody can stop the music

Keep two loves apart,

mend a broken heart

Catch a fallin' star,

that's much easier

No, you can't stop the music,

nobody can stop the music

Tell the Sun don't shine,

stop Old Father Time

'Cause that's easier to do

(Repeat Chorus 1)

I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid

Tell me, princess, now,

When did you let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways, and under

On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no, or where to go

Or say we're only dreamin'

A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But now, from way up here, it's crystal clear

That now, I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world

(don't you dare close your eyes)

A hundred thousand things to see

(hold your breath, it gets better)

I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far

I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world

With new horizons to pursue

I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world

(a whole new world)

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no, or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world

(every turn, a surprise)

With new horizons to pursue

(every moment gets better)

I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare

Anywhere, there's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

2.- Lyrics

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round?"

She said I am the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round?

She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein' the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round?

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do

Don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"

And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do

'Cause the lie becomes the truth"

(Chorus)

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one

But the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights, law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand? Her schemes and plans

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice

Just remember to always think twice

(Do think twice) do think twice

She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me

Then showed a photo of a baby cryin', his eyes were like mine

Go and dance on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me, "Be careful of what you do

And don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"

But she came and stood right by me

Just the smell of sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

No-no-no, no-no, no-no-no

(Repeat Chorus)

She says I am the one

But the kid is not my son

(Repeat Chorus)

She says I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one (you know what you did)

She says he is my son (breakin' my heart, babe)

She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover (x6)

I'd like to be

Under the sea

In an octopus's garden

Knows where we've been

In his octopus's garden

I'd ask my friends to come and see

An octopus's garden with me

We would be warm

Below the storm

In our little hideaway

Beneath the waves

Resting our head

On the seabed

In an octopus's garden

Near a cave

We would sing and dance around

Because we know, we can't be found

(Repeat Chorus)

We would shout

And swim about

The coral that lies beneath the waves

Oh, what joy

For every girl and boy

Knowing they're happy,

And they're safe 

We would be so happy, you and me

No one there to tell us what to do

In an octopus's garden with you

No first of spring, no song to sing

I just called to say I love you

No summer's high, no warm July

No harvest moon to light one tender August night

No autumn breeze, no falling leaves

Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

The club isn't the best place to find a lover

So the bar is where I go

Me and my friends at the table doing shots

Drinking fast and then we talk slow

Come over and start up a conversation with just me

And trust me I'll give it a chance now

Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox

And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like

(Chorus 1)

Girl, you know I want your love

Your love was handmade for somebody like me

Come on now, follow my lead

I may be crazy, don't mind me

Say, boy, let's not talk too much

Grab on my waist and put that body on me

Come on now, follow my lead

Come, come on now, follow my lead

I'm in love with the shape of you

We push and pull like a magnet do

Although my heart is falling too

I'm in love with your body

And last night you were in my room

And now my bedsheets smell like you

Every day discovering something brand new

I'm in love with your body

One week in we let the story begin

We're going out on our first date

You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat

Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate

We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour

And how your family is doing okay

And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat

THE LOGICAL SONG - SUPERTRAMP

1.- Historia

El grupo británico de Rock, Supertamp, se formó en Londres en 1969. Su nombre proviene de un libro del poeta W.H. Davies de 1938 titulado "The Autobiography Of A Supertramp".

El sexto álbum de la banda, "Breakfast In America", es el más importante de su discografía. Su primer sencillo "The Logical Song", es sólo una muestra de ello. Su letra habla acerca de las preguntas que toda persona hace acerca de su existencia. Fue premiada como Mejor Canción Lírica y Musicalmente por la Academia Británica de Autores y Compositores. En los rankings, fue número 1 en Canadá, 6 en USA y 7 en UK.

2.- Lyrics

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily

Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible

Logical, oh, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?

I know it sounds absurd

Please tell me who I am

I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical

A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal

Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable

Oh, take, take, take it, yeah

But at night, when all the world's asleep

The questions run so deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please (oh, won't you tell me)

Please tell me what we've learned? (Can you hear me?)

I know it sounds absurd (oh, won't you tell me)

Please tell me who I am

Who I am, who I am, who I am

2.- Lyrics

Gazing through the window at the world outside

Wondering will mother Earth survive

Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her

Sometime

After all there's only just the two of us

And here we are still fighting for our lives

Watching all of history repeat itself

Time after time

(Chorus)

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us

I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign

A better place for those Who will come after us ...

This time

(Repeat Chorus)

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ

It doesn't really matter much to me

Without each others help there ain't no hope for us

I'm living in a dream of fantasy

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity

It would be nice if we could live as one

When will all this anger, hate and bigotry ...

Be gone?

I'm just a dreamer

I dream my life away

Today

I'm just a dreamer

Who dreams of better days

Okay

I'm just a dreamer

Who's searching for the way

Today

I'm just a dreamer

Dreaming my life away
