Jacob's Ladder - Jethro Tull

 Jacob's Ladder

Jethro Tull


Lyrics:

[Genesis 25: 27 - 33]

 

Who cares about the family silver

That glints in dusty halls

Lined with badly painted landscapes

On badly painted walls?

Who cares for family favourites

Dangling from the family tree?

That Auntie Mabel loved you more

Loved you, loved you more than me

 

We're not old fools of competition

Jacob's tales or superstition

But siblings born in equal grace

Seated at set-table place

 

Same old chances, toss of dice:

Evil eyes look twice as nice

Blood runs thicker, blood runs cold;

Seize legacy before it's sold

 

Who cares if I am comfortable

In leafy rural lane

While you are tied to drudgery

Left staring at the rain

That washes out your young ambition

Hung out left to dry

And wither on the washing line

Washed out, washed-out butterfly

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Letra:

[Génesis 25: 27 - 33]

 

A quien le importa la plata familiar

Que brilla en pasillos polvorientos

Bordeado de paisajes mal pintados

¿En paredes mal pintadas?

¿A quién le importan los favoritos de la familia?

Que cuelgan del árbol genealógico?

Que la tía Mabel te quería más

Te amaba, te amaba más que a mí

 

No somos viejos tontos de la competencia

Cuentos de Jacob o superstición

Pero los hermanos nacidos en igual gracia

Sentado en el lugar de la mesa puesta

 

Las mismas posibilidades de siempre, tirada de dados:

Los ojos malvados se ven el doble de bonitos.

La sangre corre más espesa, la sangre se enfría;

Aprovecha el legado antes de que se venda

 

A quién le importa si estoy cómodo

En un camino rural frondoso

Mientras estás atado a la monotonía

A la izquierda mirando la lluvia

Eso lava tu joven ambición

Colgado a la izquierda para secar

Y se marchita en la línea de lavado

Mariposa descolorida, descolorida

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...
