Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan

Subterranean Homesick Blues

Bob Dylan


Lyrics:
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

Letra:
Johnny está en el sótano
mezclando la medicina,
yo estoy en la acera
pensando en el gobierno,
el tío de la trinchera,
fuera la insignia, despedido,
dice que ha cogido un catarro,
quiere que le paguen por ello.
¡Cuidado Chaval,
has hecho algo!
Dios sabe cuando
pero estás haciéndolo de nuevo,
mejor esfúmate en la callejuela
buscando un nuevo amigo,
el hombre del gran redil
con la gorra de piel de mapache
quiere once dólares en billetes:
tú sólo tienes diez.

Maggie viene veloz,
la cara llena de negro hollín
habla de que el calor pone pruebas incriminatorias en la cama pero
el teléfono está intervenido, de todas modos Maggie dice lo que muchos dicen
deben romperse a primeros de mayo,
órdenes del D.A.
¡Cuidado, chaval,
no importa lo que hicieras!
Anda de puntillas,
no lo intentes, “No Doz”,
mejor aléjate de esos
que llevan una manguera de fuego,
mantén limpia la nariz,
guarda la ropa de calle,
no necesitas al hombre del tiempo
para saber por dónde sopla el viento.

Ponte enfermo, ponte bien,
inclínate en un tintero,
llama timbres, es duro decir
que algo se va a vender,
prueba fuerte, guárdate,
vuelve, escribe Braille,
enciérrate, salta fianzas,
si fracasas alístate en el ejército.
¡Cuidado chaval,
vas a conseguir que te den!
Solamente perdedores, tramposos,
usadores de sexta mano,
haraganean en los teatros,
chica cerca del torbellino
buscando un nuevo tonto,
no sigas a los líderes,
vigila los parquímetros.

Ah, consigue nacer, mantente caliente,
acorta pantalones, sueña, aprende a bailar,
vístete, bendícete,
intenta tener un triunfo,
gústale, gústale, compra regalos,
no robes, no plagies,
veinte años de instrucción
y te ponen en el turno.
¡Cuidado chaval,
lo mantienen todo escondido!
Mejor salta dentro de una alcantarilla,
enciéndete una vela,
no lleves sandalias,
intenta evitar los escándalos,
no seas un holgazán,
mejor masca chicle
la bomba no funciona  porque los
ladrones se llevaron las manillas.

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
