Baby's request
When the moon lays his head on a pillow,
And the stars settle down for a rest,
Just do me one small favour, I beg you,
Please, play me my baby's request.
It's the song that we heard when we started,
Now the birds have all flown from our nest.
But you could bring back mem'ries, departed,
By playing my baby's request.
My baby said,
That she knows how it goes,
But you're the one who really knows.
So go ahead,
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed.
But you could bring back mem'ries, departed,
By playing my baby's request.
My baby says,
That she knows how it goes,
But you're the one who really knows.
So go ahead,
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed.
When the moon lays his head on a pillow,
And the stars settles down for a rest,
Just do me one small favour, I beg you,
Please, play me baby's request,
Mm-mm, play me baby's request,
Please, play me my baby's request.
One more time.

Maybe I'm amazed
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
CHORUS:
Maybe I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me understand
CHORUS
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
CHORUS

Any road
(Give me that plenty of that guitar.)
But I've been traveling on a boat and a plane
In a car on a bike with a bus and a train
Traveling there, traveling here
Everywhere in every gear
But oh Lord we pay the price
With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice
Ah yeah you pay your fare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
And I've been traveling through the dirt and the grime
From the past to the future through the space and the time
Traveling deep beneath the waves
In watery grottoes and mountainous caves
But oh Lord we've got to fight
With the thoughts in the head with the dark and the light
No use to stop and stare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
You may not know where you came from
May not know who you are
May not have even wondered
How you got this far
I've been traveling on a wing and a prayer
By the skin of my teeth, by the breadth of a hair
Traveling where the four winds blow
With the sun on my face, in the ice and the snow
But oooeeee it's a game
Sometimes you're cool, sometimes you're lame
Ah yeah it's somewhere
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
But oh Lord we pay the price
With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice
Ah yeah you pay your fare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
I keep traveling around the bend
There was no beginning, there is no end
It wasn't born and never dies
There are no edges, there is no sides
Oh yeah you just don't win
It's so far out, the way out is in
Bow to God and call him Sir
But if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
If you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
(Yeah hey! Ah ee ah! Ah he ah!)

TOCABLES
Hace unas cuantas horas España ha iniciado su andadura en el Eurobasket, y a pesar de su victoria por 83-78 ante Polonia, ha comenzado, al igual que en los pasados Eurobasket y Mundial, sembrando dudas sobre su juego y sobre su futuro en el campeonato. Si en el pasado Eurobasket la cosa empezó fatal para acabar tal y como estábamos acostumbrados, con victoria y con aplastante superioridad sobre sus rivales; en el último Mundial lamentablemente el final fue tan trabado y triste como el principio, y se demostró, en aquel momento pensé que por las ausencias, que sin Pau Gasol éramos tocables.Sobre todo no entiendo cómo se puede no jugar a baloncesto con semejante equipazo. Confío en que el rumbo se enderece y veamos un mejor juego de nuestro equipo nacional, pero mientras tanto solo puedo dejar volar la imaginación y viajar a aquella época en la que éramos intocables o si lo preferís, cuando éramos Fab.

The fall of the world's own optimist
I guess I thought you were a golden idol
Cause I called you majesty
On the balustrade
You watched me hunt for tips I was obliged to pick up
From the passing trade
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells I've been treading
Couldn't spare me a beheading
And I'll know I had it coming
From a caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
Well, I could have objections
Which you could override
But what's the point--we're only flogging the horse
When the horseman has up and died
Once I testified
And swore I'd never leave a stone unturned--
I bet you're really glad that I lied
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells I've been treading
Couldn't spare me a beheading
And I'll know I had it coming
From a caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask

and put the champagne on ice

I'm gonna win
in sin city
Where the lights are bright
do the town tonight
I'm goin' in
to sin city

On with the show
Good evening one and all we're all so glad to see you here
We'll play your favorite songs while you're all soak up the atmosphere
We'll start with old man river, then maybe stormy weather, too
I'm sure you know just what to do
On with the show good health to you
Please pour another glass, it's time to watch the cabaret
Your wife will never know that you're not really working late
Your hostess here is Wendy, you'll find her very friendly, too
And we don't care just what you do
On with the show good health to you
Petina, start the show at 2 o'clock
And if by chance you find that you can't make it anymore
We'll put you in a cab and get you safely to the door
But we've got all the answers, and we've got lovely dancers, too
There's nothing else you have to do
On with the show good health to you
You're all such lovely people dancing gaily round the floor
But if you have to fight, please take your trouble out the door
For now I say with sorrow, until this time tomorrow
We'll bid you all a fond adieu
On with the show good health to you
(MICK JAGGER/KEITH RICHARDS)
Siempre me ha encantado esta forma tan circense de acabar un álbum tan deliciosamente loco como éste, que demostraba que los Stones también podían ser psicodélicos si les apetecía, saludos.

Confessions of a mind
She goes away for a couple of days
So you phone a few number you fancy a change
You say you’ll miss her but deep down inside
There are thoughts of another girl waiting somewhere for you
She’s been away for a couple of days
The affairs weren’t so good so you’re mending your ways
You realise that there’s nobody else who can do what she does for you
You tell yourself don’t be a fool
Don’t let her go chase as hard as you can
Or you’ll be the loser
Swallow your pride you can still be a man
She’ll never refuse you
She deserved to be loved, she wants to love you
If you went away you know she’d be true, yes you do.
Baby I was lonely, still love you only, but I was a bad boy
Know you couldn’t see me, thought you’d never leave me, so I was bad boy
Even though I’m trying, there is no denying I am just a bad boy
Met a little baby, thought she was a lady, still I was a bad boy
She gives me everything a girl’s supposed to do
She gives me everything still I can’t be true
She gives me everything, she gives me everything
Going off to different places
All I see is different faces
I love them all but not like you
She deserves to be loved, she wants to love you
If you went away you know she’d be true, yes you do.
She deserves to be loved - yes she does, you know she does
She deserves to be loved - even if she goes away
She deserves to be loved - no one else can take her place
She deserves to be loved - you’ll be the loser if you let her go
She deserves to be loved - she gives you everything a girl’s supposed to do
She deserves to be loved - you love them all but she’s the one for you
She deserves to be loved - yes she does, you know she does
She deserves to be loved - even if she goes away
She deserves to be loved - no one else can take her place

That's entertainment
Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show
You can make 'em laugh
You can make 'em cry
Anything
Anything can go....
The clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment!
Nanette : The lights on the lady in tights
Oscar : Or the bride with the guy on the side
Jack : Or the ball where she gives him her all
All : That's entertainment!
Nanette : The plot and the hot simply teeming with sex
Oscar : A gay divorcee who is after her ex
Fred : It could be Oedipus Rex
Jack :
Where a chap kills his father
And causes a lot of bother
Nanette : The clerk who is thrown out of work
Oscar : By the boss who is thrown for a loss
Fred : By the skirt who is doing him dirt
All :
The world is a stage,
The stage is a world of entertainment.
That's entertainment!
That's entertainment!
The doubt while the jury is out
Or the thrill when they're reading the will
Or the chase for the man with the face
That's entertainment!
Nanette : The dame who is known as the flame
Jack : Of the king of an underworld ring
Oscar and Fred :
He's an ape
Who won't let her escape
All : That's entertainment!
It might be a fight like you see on the screen
A swain getting slain for the love of a queen
Some great Shakespearean scene
Where a ghost and a prince meet
And everyone ends in mincemeat.
The gag may be waving the flag
That began with a mystical hand
Hip hooray!
The American way
The world is a stage,
The stage is a world of entertainment
(ARTHUR SCHWARTZ/HOWARD DIETZ)

Con este clásico del cine musical perteneciente a la película Melodías de Broadway 1955(curioso título español ya que la película es del año 1953 y además su título original es The Band wagon) dirigida por Vincente Minnelli, volvemos a las andadas con el blog después de un largo parón, y es que como bien dice la letra de That's entertainment, "the world is stage y the stage is the world", o en otras palabras, todo esto no deja de ser un vodevil en el que se pueden producir caprichosas bajadas espectrales, pero a pesar de todo el espectáculo debe continuar, ya que una batalla es mucho menos importante que una guerra y es esta última la que hay que vencer, y lo haremos. Un abrazo a todos.

I can remember
I can remember Summer skies and your eyes
And in September, when I first realized
That I needed you to be
The other half of me
And my love long locked inside itself
Had finally been set free
I can remember Autumm skies and goodbyes
Hurting so badly that I thought I would die
But the more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
And the lonely ones get lonelier
With every passing day
From the day we met I knew that I should
Never let you
Get a hold on me 'cause noe you see I
Can't forget you
Oh I, I can remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
In the Spring, the sun will shine and make the
Ice surrender
But it will not warm my heart as long as
I remember
And I, I will remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I will remember the times I've cried
Since you say goodbye
I nearly died when you said,
"I, I can't let you down anymore
So I guess this goodbye"
What, what did you do it for?
Everytime I think of you and him together
I break down and cry
Oh I, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you say goodbye
I can remember
Oh I, I can remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I can remember the times I've cried
Since you said goodbye

Live and let die
When you were young and your heart was an open book
you used to say live and let live
you know you did
you know you did
you know you did
but if this ever-changing world in which we live in
makes you give in and cry
Chorus
say live and let die
live and let die
live and let die
live and let die
What does it matter to ya?
when you gotta job to do
you gotta do it well
you gotta give the other fellow hell
You used to say live and let live
you know you did
you know you did
you know you did
but if this ever-changing world in which we live in
makes you give in and cry
Chorus
(PAUL McCARTNEY)
Después de un inicio de curso brutal(el lógico proceso de adaptación) en el que he estado más muerto que vivo, vuelvo de nuevo a esta vuestra casa con este clasicazo de sir Paul McCartney que refleja fidedignamente lo que hasta el momento está siendo mi rutina laboral. A partir de los próximos días prometo daros la tabarra con mis cosas al menos una vez a la semana, he vuelto.
