Smell The Roses - Roger Waters

Smell The Roses

Roger Waters


Lyrics:
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
A hint of danger in his eye
Alarm bells raging round his brain
And the chimney's broken in the sky

Wake up
Wake up and smell the roses
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
Nothing but hope at the end of the road
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
Come on honey it's real money

This is the room where they make the explosives
Where they put your name on the bomb
Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
And scratch out words like right and wrong

Wake up
Wake up and smell the phosphorus
This is the room we keep a human heir
Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us
Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
At the bottom of the stair
Money honey

Wake up
Wake up and smell the bacon
Run your greasy fingers through her hair
This is the life that you have taken

Just a line in the captain's log
Just a whine from a resident dog
Another kid didn't make the grade
Come on honey it's a fair trade

Wake up
Wake up and smell the roses
Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
Now we can forget the threat she poses
Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Letra
Hay un perro enfadado jalando de su cadena
Un indicio de peligro en su mirada
Hay  campanas de alarma en su cerebro
Y la chimenea está rota en el firmamento

Despierta
Despierta y huele las rosas
Cierra los ojos y reza por que este viento no cambie
No hay nada pero grita en el campo de los sueños
Nada excepto esperanza al final del camino
Nada excepto oro en el humo de la chimenea
Vamos, querida, es dinero real

Esta es la habitación donde fabrican los explosivos
Donde ponen sus nombres sobre la bomba
Aquí es donde sepultan los "peros" y los "si"
Y vetan palabras como correctas e incorrectas

Despierta
Despierta y huele el fósforo
Esta es la habitación que preservamos una herencia humana
No preguntes, no digas, esto podría no estar perdido para nosotros
Un poco menos de efectivo en el escondite del armario
Al pie de la escalera
Dinero amante

Despierta
Despierta y huele el tocino
Recorre tus grasientos dedos a través de su cabello
Esta es la vida que has tomado

Solo una línea en el registro del capitán
Solo un gemido de un perro residente
Otro muchacho que no pasó el curso
Vamos, querida, es un intercambio justo

Despierta
Despierta y huele las rosas
Toma una foto en la pira del funeral
Ahora podemos olvidar la amenaza que ella posa
Chica, ya sabes, no podrías llegar mucho más alto

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 ...
