“Everything you want” (Vertical Horizon – álbum: Everything you want – Sony BMG, 1999)

Somewhere there’s speaking
It’s already coming in
Oh and it’s rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you’re here and you don’t know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won’t return

Coro:
He’s everything you want
He’s everything you need
He’s everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don’t know why

You’re waiting for someone
To put you together
You’re waiting for someone to push you away
There’s always another wound to discover
There’s always something more you wish he’d say

Coro

But you’ll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It’s only what you’re asking for
And you’ll be just fine
With all of your time
It’s only what you’re waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won’t return

Coro

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don’t know why
And I don’t know why
Why
I don’t know

“Clumsy” (Our Lady Peace – álbum: Clumsy- Columbia, 1997)

Throw away the radio
Suitcase…Keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone in case…You realize that
Sometimes your just not OK
You level out, level out, level out
It’s not alright now…You need to understand
There’s nothing strange out this
You need to know your friends…You need to know that

I’ll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need…A friend
As clumsy as you’ve been there’s no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here

Throw away this very old…shoe lace
Tripped you again
Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Sow the skin now
You need to understand…there’s nothing fake about this
You need to let me in…watching you and

I’ll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, no one’s around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need…A friend
As clumsy has you’ve been, there’s no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in…

I’ll be wavin my hand…Watching you drown…
Watching you scream…Quiet or loud…
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need…A friend
As clumsy as you’ve been, there’s no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here…Yeah
You will be safe in here…in here…Yeah
in here…Yeah…in here…Yeah…in here…Yeah
in here…Yeah….in here…Yeah

Lo que una vieja canción noventera puede darnos: la infinita paciencia de comprender lo que un loco quiere decir. La nostalgia de una época fuera de nuestros absurdos. Si tan sólo dieras un vistazo en el universo que se encierra en los ojos del otro…

“Muy despacito” (Los Piojos – álbum: Ay ay ay- RBK, 1994)

Jardines de calma feroz
un sol de infinita paciencia
los locos cantan su canción
y aplauden

Se acercan de a uno, de a dos
se va formando la ronda
una enfermera tetona
imita a una estrella de rock

Se ríen y del paredón
el eco aplaude contento
el viejo dice que está bien
vamos adentro
Andrés vení por favor,
acompañame un poquito,
dice uno
sólo dame la mano.

Muy despacito
sobre el abismo,
volaré…

Abajo el sol
abajo el sol
yo ver
Abajo el sol
abajo el sol
llover.
