1) Suerte

Suerte que en el sur hayas nacido
y que burlemos las distancias,
suerte que es haberte conocido
y por ti amar tierras extrañas
yo puedo escalar los Andes
solo por ir a contar tus lunares,
contigo celebro y sufro todo
y mis alegrias y mis males

le ro lo le lo le
le ro lo le lo le

sabes que...
estoy a tus pies

Estribillo

Contigo mi vida
quiero vivir la vida
lo que me queda de vida
quiero vivir contigo

Suerte que es tener labios sinceros
para besarte con màs ganas,
suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños
y no los confundas con montañas
Suerte que heredè las piernas firmes
para correr si me hace falta,
y es que tus dos ojos me dicen
que han de llorar cuando te vayas

Le ro lo le lo le
le ro lo le lo le

Sabes que..
estoy a tus pies

Estribillo (x2)

Le ro lo le lo le
le ro lo le lo le

Sabes que..
estoy a tus pies

Estribillo

Ya sabes, mi vida estoy hasta el cuello por ti
si sientes algo asi quiero que te quedes junto a mi

Estribillo

Ya sabes, mi vida estoy hasta el cuello por ti
si sientes algo asi quiero que te quedes junto a mi

2) Whenever, Wherever

Lucky you were born that far away so
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Too many ways to love somebody

Lo ro lo le lo le
Lo ro lo le lo le
Can't you see...I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever
We'll learn to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
They're over, you're under
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes are for no other
The day you leave we'll cry a river

Lo ro lo le lo le
Lo ro lo le lo le
At your feet...I'm at your feet

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
They're over, you're under
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lo ro lo le lo le
Lo ro lo le lo le

sink or fly, say it again

Lo ro lo le lo le lo le

Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes

Whenever, wherever
We'll learn to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
They're over, you're under
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
They're over, you're under
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

3) Underneath Your Clothes

You're a song, written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong
This might sound to you a bit odd
But you are the place where all my thoughts go hiding
Right under your clothes is where I'll find them

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Because of you I forgot the smart ways to write
Because of you I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We'll still belong to each other

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And of all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

4) Te Aviso, Te Anuncio

Nunca pense que doliera el amor asi
cuando se entierra en el medio de un no y un si
es un dia ella y otro dia yo
me estas dejando sin corazon y cero de razon

Ay te aviso, te anuncio que hoy renuncio / a tus negocios sucios
ya sabes que estoy de ti vacunada / a prueba de patadas
por ti me quede como Monalisa / sin llanto y sin sonrisa
que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de ti...
me voy / sera mejor asi

Se que olvidarte no es asunto sencillo
te me clavaste en el cuerpo como un cuchillo
pero todo lo que entra ha de salir
y los que est¨¢n tendr¨¢n que partir
empezando por mi

Ay Te aviso, te anuncio que hoy renuncio / a tus negocios sucios
ya sabes que estoy de ti vacunada / a prueba de patadas
por ti me quede como Monalisa / sin llanto y sin sonrisa
que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de ti...
me voy...

Talvez tu no eres ese para mi
No se como se puede enga?ar asi
Pero era asi

Eres tan patetico
neurotico
sat¨ªrico
psicotico
s¨¦ que no lo ves / el tango no es de tres
llevo enga?ando a este par y me sale al rev¨¦s / pero voy a intentarlo una y otra vez

Ay te aviso, te anuncio que hoy renuncio / a tus negocios sucios
por ti me quede como Monalisa / sin llanto y sin sonrisa
te aviso que estoy de t¨ª vacunada / y no me importa nada
que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de ti / me voy ser¨¢ mejor as¨ª
ya me voy... ya me fu¨ª
es mejor as¨ª

Ay que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de t¨ª... me voy
hay que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de t¨ª... me voy ser¨¢ mejor asi

5) Que me quedes tu

Que se arruinen los canales de noticias
Con lo mucho que odio la television
Que se vuelvan anticuadas las sonrisas
Y se extingan todas las puestas de sol
Que se supriman las doctrinas y deberes
Que se terminen las peliculas de accion
Que se destruyan en el mundo los placeres
Y que se escriba hoy una ultima cancion

Pero que me quedes tu
Y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui
Despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
Porque yoooo, yoo si, si
Que dependo de ti
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida

Que desaparezcan todos los vecinos
Y se coman las sobras de mi inocencia
Que se vayan uno a uno los amigos
Y acribillen mi pedazo de conciencia
Que se consuman las palabras en los labios
Que contaminen todo el agua del planeta
O que renuncien los filantropos y sabios
Y que se muera hoy hasta el ultimo poeta

Pero que me quedes tu
Y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui
Despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
Porque yoooo, yoo si, si
Que dependo de ti
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida...

6) Rules

You have to swear
You've got love to love me
That will last forever
We must have a story
With a happy ending
?I swear to never go away?
And never put aside
The things I'm gonna say
Cuz these are rules for us

Chorus:

Use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh at me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Can't you see
You always were
You'll always be

You used to say
I should see a doctor
Who would keep me busy
Cuz a jealous woman
Never makes it easy
And you know I'll defrost
Whatever seems right
But it may take a while
Before I change the rules

Chorus (2X)

7) The One

So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone on Friday nights
To take me dancing again
To church on Sundays
To plant more trees
And someday think of kids
Or maybe just save a little money

Chorus:
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun

In the world full of strangers
You're the one I know

So I learned to cook and finally lose
My kitchen phobia
And so I got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a news
That brings insomnia
To buy more thongs
To write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone

Chorus 2X

You're the one I need
You're the one I need

Youre my (?) real life has just begun

You're the one I need
You're the one I need

Nothing like your smile made of sun

Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love

8) Ready for the good times

I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
Time will bring them back I bet
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
Don't make me feel ashamed
I used to sing the saddest songs
And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my door
Falling back down to the floor
I used to read survival guides
When my world was full of seven legged cats
But here a I am with eight more lives

I'm ready for the goodtimes
I'm ready for the goodtimes
Ready to get it on
i'm ready for the goodtimes
I'm ready for the goodtimes
Now that I'm not alone

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
You know it
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
You better not
Ignore it

I don't wanna look at fashion magazines
While someone does my nails
Sitting here watching other people live
Frozen by the fear to fail
Cause, everyday there's a war to fight
And if I win or lose never mind
As long as you're my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now i've got a shoulder
That I can lean on
Swear to me you won't be gone

I'm ready for the goodtimes
I'm ready for the goodtimes
Ready to get it on
i'm ready for the goodtimes
I'm ready for the goodtimes
Now that I'm not alone

[Instrumental]

9) Fool

Tell me lies
Slap me on the face
Just improvise
Do something
Really clever
That'll make me hate
Your name forever

You might swear
You'd never
Touch a lady
Well, let me say
You're not too far
From maybe
Every day you find
New ways to hurt me

But I can't help it
If I'm just a fool
Always having my heart
Set on you
'Til the time
You start changing
The rules
I'll keep chasing
The soles of your shoes

Fool

Got resigned from
Hearing my own story
Every night I'm paying
Hell for glory
I'm embarrassed but
I'm much more sorry

All this pain begins
To feel like pleasure
With my tears
You'd make a sea of desert
Salt my wounds
And I'll keep
Saying thank you

But I can't help it
If I'm just a fool
Always having my heart
Set on you
'Til the time
You start changing
The rules
I'll keep chasing
The soles of your shoes

Fool

But I can't help it
If I'm just a fool
Always having my heart
Set on you
'Til the time
You start changing
The rules
I'll keep chasing
The soles of your shoes

Fool
I can't help it baby
Fool
I can't help it baby
Fool
I can't help it baby
Fool
I can't help it baby

Fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool

10) Te dejo Madrid

uh... ah ah
si, ya es hora de esconder
del mundo el dolor
bajo la piel

yo se que estare bien
los gatos como yo
caen de pie

no quiero
jugar mi suerte por ti
y no puedo
con f¨¦ peque?a vivir
pronto estare de aqu¨ª
muy muy lejos

coro

ay me voy otra vez
ay te dejo Madrid
las rutinas de piel
y tus ganas de huir

yo no quiero cobardes
que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios
a tu boca de anis

si, ya es hora de limpiar
las manchas de miel
sobre el mantel

yo nunca supe actuar
mis labios se ven
muertos de sed

no quiero
dejarlo todo al azar
entiendo
que he comenzado a estorbar
pronto estare de ti
muy muy lejos

coro

hay me voy otra vez
hay te dejo Madrid
las rutinas de piel
y tus ganas de huir

yo no quiero cobardes
que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adi¨®s
a tu boca de anis

ah, aah
(arm¨®nica)

coro (x2)

ay te dejo madrid
madrid
a tu boca de anis
a tu boca de anis

11) Poem To A Horse

You're too far to bring you across
Too high to see below
Just hanging on your daily dose
And you never needed anyone
But they're rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don't have?

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
You start out playing with yourself
You get more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way

Chorus:
I leave again
Cuz I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more

I'd rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab to New York
Cuz to talk to you is harder work
So what's the point of wasting all my words
If it's just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
I bet you'll find someone like you
Cuz there's a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I've got other things to do

12) Eyes Like Yours

Oh, you know I have seen
A sky without sun
A men with no nation
Saints captive in chains
A song with no name
For lack of imagination

Ya he ya he ya la he
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya he ya he ya la he
You know it seems that I
Without your eyes could never be

My one desire
All I aspire is in your eyes
Forever to live
Travelled all over
Crossed lands and oceans
There's nothing
That I wouldn't give

Came from Bahrein
Got to Beirut
Looking for someone
Comparing to you
Tearing down
Windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Came from bahrein
Got to beirut
Looking for someone
Comparing to you
Tearing down
Windows and doors
And I could not
Find eyes like yours

Oh, you know i have seen
A woman of means and rags
And begging for pleasure
Crossed a river of salt
The specter i rode
The ship that sunk
In the desert

Ya he ya he ya la he
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya he ya he ya la he
You know it seems that i
Without your eyes
Could never be

My one desire
All I aspire is in your eyes
Forever to live
Travelled all over
Crossed lands and oceans
There's nothing
That I wouldn't give

rabboussamai fikarrajaii
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Came from Bahrein
Got to Beirut
Looking for someone
Comparing to you
Tearing down
Windows and doors
And I could not
Find eyes like yours

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Looking for someone
Comparing to you
Tearing down
Windows and doors
And I could not
Find eyes like yours

13) Objection

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused is unfixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead, so

Chorus:
Objection
I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
Love is for free and
I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection
I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way
I've got to get away

Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you've got to know small things also count
Better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about, so

Chorus (with a slight change)
The angles of this triangle

I wish there was a chance for
You and me
I wish you could find our
Place to be
Away from here

This is pathetic
And sardonic
And sadistic
And psychotic
Tango is not for fun
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Don't you count on me boy
