ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA

It was nine twenty-nine
Nine twenty-nine, back street, big city
The sun was going down
There was music all around, it felt so right

It was one of those nights
One of those nights when you feel the world stop turning
You were standing there
There was music in the air

I should have been away
But I knew I had to stay

Last train to London
Just heading out
Last train to London
Just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

It was one of those nights
One of those nights when you feel the fire is burning
Everybody was there, everybody to share
It was so right

There you were on your own
Looking like you were the only one around
I had to be with you
Nothing else that I could do…

di Bono, The Edge

U2

Unos, dos, tres, catorce
Turn it up loud, captain

Lights go down, it’s dark
The jungle is your head, can’t rule your heart
A feeling’s so much stronger than a thought
Your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can’t be bought
Your mind can wander

Hello, hello (hola)
I’m at a place called Vertigo (¿dónde está?)
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something
I can feel, feel

The night is full of holes
‘Cause bullets rip the sky of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can’t dance, at least they know
I can’t stand the beat, I’m asking for the check
Girl with crimson nails has Jesus around her neck
Swinging to the music, swinging to the music (whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Hello, hello (hola)
I’m at a place called Vertigo (¿dónde está?)
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
But you give me something
I can feel, feel

Checkmated
Just fun
She made it in, yeah…

di Flea, Frusciante, Kiedis, Smith

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

They say in chess you’ve got to kill the queen
And then you made it
Oh, why?
Do you?

A funny thing the king who gets himself assasinated
Hey now
Every time I lose
Altitude

You took a town by storm the mess you made was nominated
Oh, why?
Do you?

Now put away your welcome, soon you’ll find you’ve over stayed it
Hey now
Every time I lose
Altitude

So divine
Hell of an elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Nevermind
The consequences of the crime this time
My fortune’s faded

The medicated state of mind you’ve found is over rated
Oh, why?
Do you?…

BILLY JOEL

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There’s an old man sittin’ next to me
Makin’ love to his tonic and gin

He says, “Son can you play me a memory?
I’m not really sure how it goes
But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man’s clothes”

La, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum

Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he’s quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
But there’s some place that he’d rather be

He says, “Bill, I believe this is killing me”
As a smile ran away from his face
“Well, I’m sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place”

Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum…
