Laundry Service (2001)

Objection (Tango)

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead

So objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away

Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about

Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away

I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here

This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be

But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Don't you count on me boy

Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
And you don't even bother

Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get awayTop Of The Page

Underneath Your Clothes

You're a song
Written by the hands of god
Don't get me wrong cause
This might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts go hiding
And right under your clothes
Is where I find them
Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

Because of you
I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We will still belong to each other

Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey

I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the celing
Like a lady to her good manners
I'm tied up to this feeling

Underneath Your Clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honeyTop Of The Page

Whenever, Wherever

Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody

Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
At your feet
I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
And that's the deal my dear

Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
Think out loud
Say it again

Le do le le le le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes.

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heals
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feelTop Of The Page

Rules

You have to swear
You've got love to love me
aah aah
That will last forever
aah aah
We must have a story
Aah aah
With a happy ending
So don't ever go away
And never put aside
The things I'm gonna say
Cause these are the rules for us

Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree

You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Oh can't you see
You always were
You'll always be

You used to say
I should see a doctor
Aah aah
Who would keep me busy
Aah aah

Cause a jealous woman
Never makes it easy

Ahh, ahh
And you know I'll do for us
Whatever seems right
But it may take awhile
Before I change the rules

Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree

You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Oh can't you see
You always were
You'll always beTop Of The Page

The One

So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone
Friday nights to take me dancing
And then to church on Sundays
To plant more dreams
And someday think of kids
Or maybe just to save a little money
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me
I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
Cause there's nothing like
Your smile made of sun
In a world full of strangers
You're the one I know

So I learn to cook
And finally lose my kitchen phobia
So I've got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a muse
That brings insomnia

To buy more thongs
And write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone

You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me
I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
Cause there's nothing like
Your smile made of sun

You're the one I need
You're the one I need
With you my real life has just begun
You're the one I need
Nothing like your smile made of sun
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your loveTop Of The Page

Ready for the Good Times

I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
Time will bring them back I bet
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
Don't make me feel ashamed
I used to sing the saddest songs
And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my
Door
Falling back down to the floor
I used to read survival guides
When my world was full of seven legged cats
But here I am with eight more lives
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Now that I'm not alone
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You know It
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You better not
Ignore it

I don't wanna look at fashion magazines
While someone does my nails
Sitting here watching other people live
Frozen by the fear to fail
Cause, everyday there's a war to fight
And if I win or lose never mind
As long as you're my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you won't be gone

I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Ready to get it on

I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Now that I'm not alone

Fool

Tell me lies, slap me on the face, just...
Improvise, do something really clever,
That'll make me hate your name forever
You might swear, you'd never touch a lady
Well, let me say, you're not too far from
Maybe
Every day you find new ways to hurt me

But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
`Till the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
ahh, fool

God resigned, from hearing my old story
Every night, I'm paying hell for glory
I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry

All this pain, begins to feel like
Pleasure
With my tears, you'd make a sea a desert
Salt my wounds and I'll keep saying thank
You

But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
`Till the time you start changing the rules,
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh, foolTop Of The Page

I Leave You Madrid (Te Dejo Madrid)

It's already time to hide
From this world of pain
Underneath my skin
I'll be alright
Cats like I fall on their feet
I don't want
To play my luck with you
I can't
Go on living like this
Soon I'll be from here
Far, Far away
O I go again
O I leave you Madrid
The patterns of your skin
And your habits of hating
I don't want bad vibes
That make me suffer
It's best I say good-bye
To your mouth of anise
Yes, its the hour of cleaning
The spots of honey
Above the eating mat
I never knew how to act
And my lips bring themselves
Dead of thirst
I don't want to leave it all to chance
I understand
That I've begin to change myself
Soon I'll be from you
Far, far away

O I go again
O I leave you Madrid
The patterns of your skin
And your habits of hating
I don't want bad vibes
That make me suffer
It's best I say good-bye
To your mouth of aniseTop Of The Page

Poem to a Horse

You're too far to bring you close
And too high to see below
Just hangin' on your daily dose
I know you never needed anyone
But the rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don't have

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain
With your hydroponic pot
Start out playing with yourself
You get more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way

I'll leave again `cause I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more

I rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab in New York
`Cause to talk to you is harder work

So what's the point of wasting all my words
If it's just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse

You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain
With your hydroponic pot
I bet you'll find someone like you
`Cause there's a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I've other things to do

I'll leave again `cause I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no moreTop Of The Page

If You Stay With Me (Que Me Quedes Tu)

All the channels look the same
With all the hate for the television
When the old fashioned smiles return
And extinguish the doings of the sun
When the writings and debts suppress themselves
When the action movies end
When all the pleasures in the world are destroyed
And today I write one final song
But if you stay with me and your hug stays with me
And the kiss you give everyday
And if you stay here after the occasion
Forever you melancholy
Because its true that I depend on you
And if you stay with me|
Then my life will stay with me
When all the neighbors disappear
And everyone eats my shade of innocence
When one by one the friends leave
And it pesters my piece of consciousness
And when it consumes the words of my lips
And contaminates all the water in the planet
Or when the philanthropists and wise people reunite
And die today after the last poet
But if you stay with me and your hug stays with me
And the kiss you give everyday
And if you stay here after the occasion
Forever you melancholy
Because its true that I depend on you
And if you stay with me|
Then my life will stay with meTop Of The Page

Eyes Like Yours (Ojos Así)

Oh, you know I have seen
A sky without sun
A man with no nation
Saints, captive in chains
A song with no name
For lack of imagination
Ya he...
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya he...
And now it seems, that I
Without your eyes could never be

My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live
Traveled all over; the seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn't give
Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours

Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours

Oh, I have just seen
A woman of means
In rags and begging some for pleasure
Crossed a river of salt
Just after I rode
A ship that's sunk in the desert

Ya he...
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya he...
And now it seems, that I
Without your eyes could never be

My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live
Traveled all over; the seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn't give
Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours

Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit

Lucky (Suerte)

Lucky you were born in the South
So we could joke with the distances
Lucky that I have come to know you
And for you love foreign lands
I can scale the Andes soley
For you, to count your freckles
With you I celebrate my everything
My goods and bads
Le lo le lo le lo
Do you know
I'm at your feet
With you
My life
I want to live my life
What that keeps me living
I want to live with you
Lucky I have sincere lips
To kiss you with more desire
Lucky that my breast will be small
So you can't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I received firm legs
To run for safety when I need it
And these two eyes that tell me
That they will cry when you leave
Le lo le lo le lo
Do you know
I'm at your feet
With you
My life
I want to live my life
What that keeps me living
I want to live with you
Le lo le lo le lo
Do you know
I'm at your feet
Le lo le lo le lo
The happiness that belongs to you
Name and your skin.
With you
My life
I want to live my life
What that keeps me living
I want to live with you
You already know my life
I'm up to my neck with you
If you feel something like this
I want you to stick with meTop Of The Page

I Warn You, I Announce To You (Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango))

Never thought that love would hurt like this
When it enters the middle of a No
And a yes
Your leaving me without heart
Nor reason

O I warn you and announce to you
That this is the day of resignation
From your dirty businesses
You already know that I'm vaccinated
From your tests of kicks
For you I stayed like the Mona Lisa
Without tears nor smile
That the heavens and your mother watch over you
I'm going, it will be better like this
I know that forgetting you isn't my only fear
You cut me in my body like a knife
But all that enters has to leave
And those that are together have to leave
Beginning with me
O I warn you and announce to you
That this is the day of resignation
From your dirty businesses
You already know that I'm vaccinated
From your tests of kicks
For you I stayed like the Mona Lisa
Without tears nor smile
That the heavens and your mother watch over you
I'm going, it will be better like this

Sometimes you aren't this for me
I don't know how I can live like this
Loving like this
They are pathetic, neurotic, caustic and psychotic
You don't see
Tango isn't for three
I go planning on how to escape and it leaves me with bad fortune
But I am going to try it time and time again

O I warn you and announce to you
That this is the day of resignation
From your dirty businesses
You already know that I'm vaccinated
From your tests of kicks
For you I stayed like the Mona Lisa
Without tears nor smile
That the heavens and your mother watch over you
I'm going, it will be better like thisTop Of The Page
