Long
And the winter's like a knife
And it cut me when you went away
All the seasons seem so cold now
I'm still waiting for my runaway
Finding friendship in the same old ways
> With Mr Daniels and the one arm bandit
City lights from the hotel keeping me sane
> So cold tonight, so long
Sliding through the city
In the yellow hurricane
Black and white in my face
Hot black in my veins
Finding friendship in the same old ways
> With Mr Daniels and the one arm bandit
Night lights from the cityscape keeping me sane
It's so cold tonight
> So cold tonight
Such a long
> Such a long long night
Oooh yeah
> Pick your lucky number and
> And don't go out tonight
High stakes with my city friends keeping me sane
> Oooh
Finding friendship in the same old ways
> With Mr Daniels and the one arm bandit
Night lights from the cityscape keeping me sane
It's so cold tonight
> So cold tonight
It's so long
> Such a long long night
It's so long
> Ooooh so cold tonight
Keeping me sane
> It's a long long night
It's so long
It's a long long night
It's so long
It's a long long night
The thought of you is keeping me sane

The Banker
He is a well-known businessman
Walking in a three grand pair of shiny shoes
Cause his wallet is filled up with money and pride
Countless hours plenty of full business flights
Doesn’t care where he’s spending his nights
Never ever seeing the sky until midnight
Working, only sleeping two days a week
In private he’s so distant, in public a friend
His smile scares the hell out your poor mind
No one dares to look at him once or twice
Cause he trades with money or he trades with you
No one dares to tell him you are a fool
And he makes promises, he’s promising the moon
Corrupting your soul
Controlling the sun
Or even the moon
Is in his hands
Thinking he’s God on a good day
There is not life outside the bank
Having parties with rich men and congressmen
Always talking about money and pretty cars
They are warriors who live for the fight
Doesn’t know with whom he’s spending the night
Never stepping outside until midnight
In private he’s unfriendly, in public false
His smile scares the hell out your poor mind
No one dares to look at him once or twice
Cause he trades with love or any good feeling
Holding back depending on the pricing
No one bets he truly is a banker
Corrupting your …

Cuéntame guitarra
Cuéntame guitarra
Te quiero escuchar
Todas esas notas nadan
De tu cuerpo hasta mi voluntad
Háblame guitarra,
Compañera infiel
Con artes de bruja mala
Te regalas a cualquiera
Que sea capaz de acariciar
Vanidosa semidiosa
Haré tu santa voluntad
Si alguna vez pudiera tocarte tan sólo yo
Convertiré los celos en mi canción
Di que serás la melodía
Di que serás la voz
Yo haré sonar las armonías
Con el ritmo de mi corazón.
Cántame guitarra
Una y otra vez
Ábreme tu alma, en calma
Por tu cuerpo me deslizaré
Cuéntame guitarra
Qué secreto es
Ese que me atrapa y gana.
El mejor de mis abrazos
Sobre tu piel derramaré
Caprichosa amante, diosa
Tú eres la adicción más cruel
Si alguna vez pudiera tocarte tan sólo yo
Convertiré los celos en mi canción
Sé que serás la melodía
Sé que serás la voz
Yo haré sonar las armonías
Con el soplo de mi vida
Y el ritmo de mi corazón
Extrayendo con mis dedos
Las notas de tu diapasón.

Bella
When she says she is leaving
I say leaving, where to go?
There’s some things I see
And some things you need to know..
So she stays for a while
And we watch the candle glow
‘There’s some people that
Don’t have anything you know….’
She just laughs and she says
Not you again
You should go because here comes
My real boyfriend
The most beautiful thing that I ever did
Was fall in love with you
And the sweetest thing that you could do
Was let me in
Is it now, Bella?
Take me back to Paris
Shall we paint the Quai d'Orsay?
Or la Rue de la Paix
Where the sweethearts come to choose..
When I go there alone
There is no-one there at all
Just an empty hand
And a shadow on a wall
She just smiles and she says
‘Hey funny man
We should leave because I have
A secret plan..’
The most fortunate man who has ever lived
Just woke up next to you
And the sweetest thing that he could do
Was tell you so
Is it you, Bella?
When she says she is sad
I say let’s go to the sea
There’s some things we know
And some things we need to be…
Standing there on the beach
And she moves just like the air
By the water’s edge
And she nearly isn’t there
Then she frowns and she says
How does this end?
Never cries as she says
‘Hey lucky man…’
The most beautiful thing that I ever did
Was fall in love with you
And the sweetest thing that you could do
Was fall in too
Is it true, Bella….

Soñando con Peter Pan
No sé cuando ocurrió
Se cambió el interruptor
De pronto me hice mayor.
Aquel niño escapó
Como un pájaro voló
No supo decir adiós.
¿Dónde he dejado la emoción?
Ya no la llevo por bandera
Luchan cabeza y corazón
Y siempre gana la primera.
Ya me conozco la canción
Eso me asusta con violencia
Creo que encontrado la razón:
Se me ha perdido la inocencia.
Telarañas y serrín
Sobre el sueño de seguir soñando
Con Peter Pan.
Mi memoria, lo que fui
Dentro de una Polaroid
Antídoto de olvidar.
¿Qué me ha pasado? no soy yo
Ya no recuerdo cómo era
Luchan cabeza y corazón
Y siempre gana la primera.
He regresado a aquel rincón
Donde aquel niño ya no juega
Y allí he encontrado la razón:
Se me ha perdido la inocencia.

1973
From the year of 73
I will send these words to you
Can your tiny mobile phone
pick up all my deeper meaning?
The doorway of a church
a man’s heart is beating fast
‘Is she waiting there for me?
Here in 1973’
The Soviet leader
Is on the TV
And President Nixon
Is history
Look Pioneer 10 is approaching Jupiter
Moon covers the sun, and the soldier looks up leaving poor Vietnam.
From the year that we first kissed
I will send this news to you
Can your 18 inch screen
Pick up everything I’m seeing?
He’s walking down the aisle
She is hidden by her dad
‘Will he pass her on to me
Here in 1973’
I have seen the king of Rock and Roll
Live worldwide telecast
They should have known
He’d have more juice in him than Watergate
They are wrapping up the presidents
Two people holding hands
Outside a church
They cannot hold our love in acetate

Darling Louise
Duérmete my darling Louise
Monk está en el más allá
Ensayando “Round midnight”
Junto a su big band
Duerme bien my darling Louise
Billie está en un viejo club
Recreando un triste blues
Que escuchó a Helen Humes
Mi pequeña y dulce Louise
George te acunará
Duérmete my darling Louise
“Old blue eyes” te cantará
Al oído la canción:
From this moment on
Duerme bien my darling Louise
Brother Ray entonará
Un antiguo espiritual
Sobre el bien y sobre el mal
Mi preciosa y tierna Louise
Dream sweet dreams tonight

Alone
She is golden like the heavens when she smiles When (are) you coming home x 2 You are melting like a snowflake when she smiles What am I doing here, why am I on my own She would tidy up because you're coming round Waiting up all night drinking coffee on her own
Getting down all knotted up inside
You couldn't make the aisle
I guess you'll be alone
So you laugh it off just like it's something small
Get there when you will, waiting for you still
All the opportunities that passed you by
What am I gonna say, you're still a friend of mine
Daddy left you by yourself - as a child
When's he coming home, when's he coming home
Your good friend Mr Grim is treading time
Time/ waiting for you still
I guess you'll be alone, alone.
It could be so much better
To laugh at the history
When are you coming home
You've got so much to say
'Bout your reasons for being alone
Daddy left you by yourself - as a child
When's he coming home, when's he coming home
My good friend Mr Grim is treading time
Time/ waiting for you still
I guess you'll be alone, alone
Alone, alone

Miss Lucy’s Kiss
Could you listen to me, boy?
Lovely Rita is my love
Send me, please, a Valentine
I am in the mood for love
‘Cause today I’m sixty four
I feel fine
Drinking a bottle of wine
Thinking about her pretty eyes
And looking at this bluesy night
My lonely heart begins to smile Just for a while
You know Lucy is in the sky
With the sergeant and his band
Laughing, singing at the club
Billy Shears and Mr. Kite
Playing cards on trampoline
What a scene
Many people’s in the street
Waiting for Miss Lucy’s kiss
That usually is a ten to six
The family will all be there
With diamond rings
In the middle of the night
Henry the Horse will dance the waltz with you
Boy, look at the marmalade skies
With kaleidoscope eyes
Look, how the love is just in the air
In this misty and cloudy night
I saw a film today, oh boy
Not any army won the war
I read the news today, oh boy
Lucy has the sun in her eyes.

El Perfume
El perfume de lo incierto es mi amigo fiel y cruel
La nostalgia y el lamento le acompañan y cuidan de él
Hoy maldigo aquella que embrujado por tus trampas
Deslizaba mi deseo por tu espalda
Con el manto de la noche ocultando mi derrota
¿Dónde quedará mi vida? ¿Dónde quedará?
Le pregunto a la luna tranquila
Que yace cubriendo su rostro dormida
Velando por mí
Deshojando mi tormento, solo el viento y la marea
Viento que seca mi llanto y entre sueños qué me lleva
Me acompaña la tristeza de camino a la miseria
El rencor no me abandona, él se queda
Lentamente el sol desciende y se pierde lo invisible
¿Dónde quedará mi vida? ¿Dónde quedará?
Le pregunto a la luna tranquila
Que yace cubriendo su rostro dormida
Velando por mí

Perdedor
Entra un tipo
Frío como el hielo
Al que le gusta el fox-trot
O una vieja
Fea y arrugada
Como en los cuentos de hadas
Luego está el inglés
Con su perro fiel
Un pequeño fox terrier
Y un senegalés
Que canta muy bien
Las canciones en francés
Y aquí estoy yo
Un perdedor
En el amor
Un infeliz
Sin ambición
Ni porvenir
Con mi taxi recorro New York
Cuando dejo mi vieja pensión
Y salgo al exterior
Donde hay
Desde golfas a vino francés
Y la noche se vuelve fiel
Con todo aquel
Que busca perder
Hay un tipo
Que con su guitarra
Sólo toca viejos blues
Y un viajante
Que todos los martes
Los disfruta con su amante
Hay un portugués
Tiene una mujer
Con tatuajes en la piel
Y un rico escocés
Que una vez al mes
Va de pesca al lago Ness
Luego estoy yo
Un vividor
Del desamor
Un tipo gris
Sin pretensión
De ser feliz
Con mi taxi recorro New York
Cuando dejo mi vieja pensión
Y empiezo a observar
Lo que hay:
Desde yonquis a bellos cafés
Y la noche le sienta bien
Al perdedor

Una Carta al Porvenir
La ambición
Por querer ser el mejor
La obsesión
Por buscar la perfección
Le llevó
A escribir
Una carta al porvenir
Le pidió
Que contara sin tardar
Si es verdad
Que el poeta popular
Puede usar
A la vez
La razón y el corazón
Le rogó
Que mostrara dónde está
La amistad
O si es algo similar
Al amor
Que algún dios
Despojó de pasión
Suplicó
Que explicara la razón
De porqué
Uno no puede exigir
Encontrar
Su verdad
Mucho antes de partir
Demandó
Como un último favor
Ser capaz
De sentir y descubrir
La emoción
Al tocar
Con sus labios a una flor
Y aquí está
Esperando al porvenir
Sin dormir
Y viviendo el frenesí
De acertar
¿Qué será?
¿Será qué?, al final
