Breakfast in America



Take a look at my girlfriend
Shes the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see america
See the girls in california
Im hoping its going to come true
But theres not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, mummy dear
They got to have em in texas
Cos everyones a millionaire

Im a winner, Im a sinner
Do you want my autograph
Im a loser, what a joker
Im playing my jokes upon you
While theres nothing better to do

Dont you look at my girlfriend
Shes the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see america
See the girls in california
Im hoping its going to come true
But theres not a lot I can do

Cantares



Todo pasa y todo queda
Pero lo nuestro es pasar,
Pasar haciendo caminos,
Caminos sobre la mar.
Nunca persegui la gloria
Ni dejar en la memoria
De los hombres mi cancion;
Yo amo los mundos sutiles,
Ingravidos y gentiles
Como pompas de jabon.
Me gusta verlos pintarse
Se sol y grana, volar
Bajo el cielo azul, temblar
Subitamente y quebrarse...
Nunca persegui la gloria.
Caminante son tus huellas
El camino y nada mas;
Caminante, no hay camino
Se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino
Y al volver la vista atras
Se ve la senda que nunca
Se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante no hay camino
Sino estelas en la mar...
Hace algun tiempo en ese lugar
Donde hoy los bosques se visten de espinos
Se oyo la voz de un poeta gritar
"Caminante no hay camino,
Se hace camino al andar..."
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso...
Murio el poeta lejos del hogar.
Le cubre el polvo de un pais vecino.
Al alejarse, le vieron llorar.
"Caminante, no hay camino,
Se hace camino al andar"
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso...
Cuando el jilguero no puede cantar
Cuando el poeta es un peregrino,
Cuando de nada nos sirve rezar.
"Caminante, no hay camino,
Se hace camino al andar..."
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso

No Milk Today



No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
