SLASH'S SNAKEPIT - NEITHER CAN I

ARTISTA: SLASH'S SNAKEPIT
ALBUM: IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE (1995)
TEMA: NEITHER CAN I





I once had a friend
They found him in a car
A hose to the window
And the motor running hot
Seems he couldn't take it
The rhetoric of life
Someone found him naked
With a note right by his side
A note right by his side

He can't take it back
Neither can I
No, neither can I

Mommy and daddy
I've borrowed the car
to sleep on the floor
I'm sorry so much
For bringing my own living hell to
your door
Thanks for all the flowers
At the ringside seat
Thanks for nothing everyone
The prayers were too weak


This is the way
It happens all the time
Can you pay attention
To everyone that cries
Remember you can make it through
And make it new
Only if you try
You gotta try

Cause you can't take it back
Neither can I
No, neither can I

Mommy and daddy
I've borrowed the car
to sleep on the floor
I'm sorry so much
For bringing my own living hell to
your door
But things had gotten heavy
Everything was deep
Nothing really mattered
So I just went to sleep
I just went to sleep
And I can't take it back
I won't try


I won't try
I won't try
I won't try
I won't try

Mommy and daddy
I've borrowed the car
to sleep on the floor
Mommy and daddy
I'm sorry to tell you, life is a bore
Don't send any flowers
Don't send anymore
Cause I can't give no more

EXTRECHINATO Y TU - A LA SOMBRA DE MI SOMBRA

ARTISTA: EXTRECHINATO Y TU
ALBUM: POESÍA BÁSICA (2001)
TEMA: A LA SOMBRA DE MI SOMBRA






A la sombra de mi sombra
me estoy haciendo un sombrero;
sombrero de largas pajas
que he recogido del suelo.

lo haré con el ala ancha,
que casi llegue hasta el cielo
pa' muchas veces no ver
las cosas que ver no quiero.

No quiero ver injusticias ni miserias;
no quiero ver militares ni princesas;
no quiero ver dictaduras ni pobrezas;
no quiero ver religiones ricas, ni reinas.
que sólo quiero yo ver a los pobres sin miseria;
a los ricos sin dinero desnudos en esta tierra;
a infinitos corazones unidos por el amor
y unidos contra la guerra.

A la sombra de mi sombra
me estoy haciendo un sombrero
pero voy a dejar de hacerlo
para luchar con dos güevos.
