Sam Brown - Nellie, Nellie
Tekst :
Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.Hey Nellie, Nellie, look at what I see.
He s ridin into town on a sway-back mule.
He s got a tall black hat and he looks like a fool.
But he sure is talkin like he s been to school, and it s 1853.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, listen what he s sayin .
Hey Nellie, Nellie, he says it s gettin late.
Says all them black folks should be free,
To walk around the same as you and me.
He s talkin about a thing they call democracy, and it s 1858.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, hand me down my gun.
For the men are cheerin and the boys are too,
They re all puttin on their coats of blue.
And I ain t got no time to sit and talk to you, and it s 1861.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, I ve come back alive.
My coat of blue is stained with red,
And the man in the tall black hat is dead.
But we sure will remember all the things he said, and it s 1865.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, look at what I see.
There are white folks and colored walkin side by side,
A-marchin in a column that s a century wide.
It was a long and a hard and a bloody ride, and it s 1963.

Internal torment II
As you stare into the depths of darkness
Illusions of your mind pressured by horror
Standing on a plain of desolation
The streams of frozen mist are shattered by the sun
Travel through the uncaring skies
Prepare for this defeat
Once you re dead...
Illusions of your mind pressured by horror

Shining escalade
I want a shining escalade
Live my life a different way
Ride round the block with you, my boo
Always with you
A million others waited at my gate
We build the fences, now we can t escape
Hide with me under the covers
Cos you are my love
I want a shining s.u.v.
People see me differently
Fly round...
Live my life a different way

The bus is leaving I don t wanna go

Give me a reason
Just give me a reason why we fuss and fight
Give me a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Is there a reason why you fall for other girls
When I thought I was the number one baby in your world
Give me a reason why you make me cry
Is there...

Me duele amarte
Me duele amarte
Sabiendo que ya te perdi
Tan solo quedara la lluvia
Mojando mi llanto
Y me hablara de ti
Me duele amarte
Los sueños que eran para ti
Se pierden con cada palabra
Con cada momento que espere vivir
Me duele mas imaginar
Que tu te vas y dejaras
Detras de ti
Tu ausencia en mis brazos
Me duele tanto sospechar
Que...
