Александр Новиков - С красавицей в обнимку

Одевался модно, броско,
Когда был я молодой.
Я носил штаны в полоску,
А полоски были вдоль.

И когда я очень просто
Угодил на долгий срок,
Дали мне штаны в полоску,
А полоска поперек.

Припев:
Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Я на нем во всей красе.
Я с красавицей в обнимку,
Я с красавицей в обнимку
На песчаной полосе.

Не вернуть – разбейся в доску –
Это время хоть на час,
Где мне светлая полоска
Выпадала через раз.

Где мне белые ботинки
После черненьких штиблет?
Где брюнетки? Где блондинки?
Через раз их больше нет.

Припев:
Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Я на нем во всей красе.
Я с красавицей в обнимку,
Я с красавицей в обнимку
На песчаной полосе.

Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Я на нем во всей красе.
Я с красавицей в обнимку,
Я с красавицей в обнимку
На песчаной полосе.

Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Ах, спасибо фотоснимку,
Я на нем во всей красе.
Я с красавицей в обнимку,
Я с красавицей в обнимку
На песчаной полосе.

Александр Новиков - Белый Пароход

Завтра будет все не так.
Завтра в землю грянет дождь.
Завтра ты уедешь, улетишь, уйдешь.
А сегодня мы с тобой,
Птицу-Лето ухватив,
Жарко обнимаясь, попадем под объектив.

Припев:
Белый пароход и синее море –
Пляжный фотограф, снимай скорей! –
Вот она в смешном головном уборе,
Ветреная чайка души моей.

Завтра будет свет не мил.
Выбросит на берег грусть.
Завтра я в тебя в который раз влюблюсь.
А сегодня бьюсь об мол
И шепчу тебе листвой,
И считаю чаек у тебя над головой.

Припев:
Белый пароход и синее море –
Пляжный фотограф, снимай скорей! –
Вот она в смешном головном уборе,
Ветреная чайка души моей.

Завтра потеряет блеск
Самый белый пароход.
Завтра летний глянец с мира упадет.
А сегодня жмет на спуск,
Не обременен ничем,
Суетный фотограф с обезьянкой на плече.

Припев:
Белый пароход…
Пляжный фотограф…
Вот она в смешном…
Ветреная чайка…

Александр Новиков - Крокодил

В крокодилью оденусь кожу –
Я ни разу в такой не ходил.
И по виду стану похожий —
Просто вылитый крокодил.

Но, по правде сказать, куртяга
Из каких бы не шита кож, –
Есть какая-то к сходству тяга –
Чем-то я на него похож.

Припев:
Он не хватает мелочь, он по-крупному питается,
А зубы стиснет – из зубов никто не вырывается,
А плачет – никому знать не дано, что у него в груди.

И боком он не ползает, и задом он не пятится,
И клеткой или шкурой он когда-нибудь расплатится,
Раскроит на меня ее портной. И вот вам – крокодил.

Не красавец – чего кривляться,
А зубаст – чтоб не быть в долгу.
И приходится, то кусаться,
То откусываться на бегу.

Гром петард, блеск почетных грамот,
И медальный трезвон не мил,
А чтоб – в званья! – так, выкусь, на вот –
Не нуждается крокодил.

Припев:
Он не хватает мелочь, он по-крупному питается,
А зубы стиснет – из зубов никто не вырывается,
А плачет – никому знать не дано, что у него в груди.

И боком он не ползает, и задом он не пятится,
И клеткой или шкурой он когда-нибудь расплатится,
Раскроит на меня ее портной. И вот, я – крокодил.

Рвись, молись, беленись в запарке,
Ключ от райских не жди дверей –
Но это лучше, чем в зоопарке,
За стеклом посреди зверей.

А откроют ворота ада,
Призовут через дым кадил –
Мне грехов отпускать не надо –
Грешным делом я – крокодил.

Припев:
Он не хватает мелочь, он по-крупному питается,
А зубы стиснет – из зубов никто не вырывается,
А плачет – никому знать не дано, что у него в груди.

И боком он не ползает, и задом он не пятится,
И клеткой или шкурой он когда-нибудь расплатится,
Раскроит на меня ее портной. И вот, я – крокодил.

И боком он не ползает, и задом он не пятится,
И клеткой или шкурой он когда-нибудь расплатится,
Раскроит на меня ее портной. И вот, я – крокодил.И вот, я – крокодил.
И вот, я – крокодил.

Александр Новиков - Гостиничная история

Я прилетел сюда зачем-то, на ночь глядя,
И смертным боем бьюсь в гостиничную дверь,
Но как повымерли за стойкой эти… тети,
Конечно, дрыхнут, и куда же я теперь?
Я бьюсь сильней, но это слабо помогает.
Скажите, граждане, куда же я попал?
Я поражен: с меня никто не вымогает,
А я бы дал, клянусь здоровьем, я бы дал.

Я здесь стою один, как тень на полустанке.
Закутанный в халат на лавке спит узбек.
Эй, кто-нибудь, прошу, откликнитесь, гражданки!
Последний раз прошу, пустите на ночлег.
Откройте дверь, я очумел от перелетов,
Во всех портах обледененье полосы.
Вы что, обляденели, эй вы, кто там?
Давно за полночь пробили часы!

Закрыто крепко все на крючья и засовы.
Я начинаю, стоя, сладко засыпать.
Последний шанс иссяк, остались только вдовы –
Они меня поймут, но где их раскопать?
Я чем-то стал похож на волка-одиночку,
Болит, как раньше с перепою, голова.
Я мог бы подарить вдове такую ночку,
Ну, где же ты, моя веселая вдова?

По улице иду, заглядываю в окна,
Вдруг женский голос тихо просит закурить.
Я всем своим нутром до самых пяток екнул,
И с перепугу сердце вдруг начало шалить.
Косметикой в меня пахнуло дуновенье,
Как свежий ветер в растворенное окно –
Уж если есть на свете чудное мгновенье,
Я сразу понял: это именно оно.

Пока свечой горела спичка, мы молчали.
Когда ж ее огонь беспомощно погас,
Я ей сказал, что в ней души уже не чаю,
И эта ночь, увы, свела навеки нас.
Она мне отвечала что-то в том же стиле
И прошептала тихо, сев на чемодан:
«В гостиницу меня сегодня не пустили.
И вот теперь согласна хоть куда».

Я прикусил язык совместно с сигаретой
И тоже, сев на свой раздувшийся портфель,
Доверчиво вещал: «Скажу вам по секрету,
Я пять минут назад стучался в ту же дверь».
Мы хохотали заразительно и звонко
И подавали нежелательный пример.
Она была вполне приличная девчонка,
А я еще вполне приличный кавалер.

Кварталы и дворы стихали и пустели.
И город вскоре, обессилевший, затих.
Как не хватало нам всего одной постели,
Всего одной, но только на двоих.

Александр Новиков - В Екатеринбурге

Вечер грустен и без песен вышел как обряд:
Светел, нем и свят – как крест на рясе.
Я бельмом в глазу ночного фонаря
Поторчу и двинусь восвояси.

По памяти, повдоль неонных знаков –
Под пестрой их водой мой путь так одинаков –
На те же улицы гребу, на те же переулки.
Ах, в Екатеринбу…В Екатеринбу…В Екатеринбурге.

Увязался, не отгонишь, пес-мотив простой,
Громыхает цепь стихотворений.
Первая же встречная мне девочка, постой,
Грех не наломать тебе сирени!

Года мои – в горсти изломанные ветки.
Сирень, меня прости, я только что из клетки.
Кричи, закусывай губу, ведь я приписан в урки!
Ах, в Екатеринбу…В Екатеринбу…В Екатеринбурге.

И погост, и дом казенный, и церковный звон –
Вот они, бок о бок неизменно.
Вечный Плен с Трезвоном Вечным сменит Вечный Сон –
Прав Есенин: все мы в мире тленны.

Пока же мы не тлен, и наша жизнь не ретро,
Мы – ветры перемен, пусть корчатся от ветра
У пьедесталов на горбу державные придурки.
Ах, в Екатеринбу…В Екатеринбу…В Екатеринбурге.
Ах, в Екатеринбу…
В Екатеринбу…Я снова в Екатеринбурге.

Александр Новиков - Город древний

Город древний, город длинный,
Имярек Екатерины,
Даже свод тюрьмы старинной
Здесь положен буквой «Е».
Здесь от веку было тяжко,
Здесь «пришили Николашку»
И любая помнит башня
О демидовской семье.

Мостовые здесь видали
Марш побед и звон кандальный,
Жены верные рыдали,
Шли на каторгу вослед.
И фальшивые монеты
Здесь Демидов шлепал где-то,
И, играючи, за это
Покупал весь белый свет.

Гнил народ в каменоломнях
Из убогих и бездомных,
Хоронясь в местах укромных
С кистенями под полой,
Конокрады, казнокрады –
Все купцам приезжим рады –
Всех мастей стекались гады,
Как на мед пчелиный рой.

Камнерезы жали славу
И, вдыхаючи отраву,
Подгоняли под оправу
Ядовитый змеевик.
Здесь меняли на каменья –
Кто рубаху, кто именья –
И скорбел в недоуменьи
На иконах мутный лик.

Мчали время злые кони.
Лик истерся на иконе.
А царица на балконе
Бельма пялила в алмаз.
Наживались лиходеи,
А убогие глядели,
Как в года текли недели
И домчалися до нас.

Зря остроги и темницы
Душу тешили царице –
Все текло через границы
За бесценок, задарма.
И теперь в пустом музее
Ходят, смотрят ротозеи
На пищали и фузеи,
Да на брошки из дерьма.

Город древний, город славный!
Бьют часы на башне главной.
Стрелки круг очертят плавный
И двенадцать раз пробьют.
Мы металл и камень плавим,
Мы себя и город славим,
Но про то, что мы оставим,
Пусть другие пропоют.

Александр Новиков - Помнишь, девочка

Помнишь, девочка, гуляли мы в саду,
Я бессовестно нарвал букет из роз.
Дай бог памяти, в каком это году,
Я не чувствовал ладонями заноз.

Надрывались от погони сторожа,
И собаки не жалели в беге сил.
Я бежал, твоим букетом дорожа,
И, запутавшись, в заборах колесил.

Кровь хлестала из разодранной щеки,
А рубаха развалилась пополам.
Оставались чудом целы лепестки,
А штаны ползли бессовестно по швам.

Ты сидела на скамейке далеко
И считала в мыслях медленно до ста,
Я ж заборы перемахивал легко,
И версту сменяла новая верста.

Убежал я. И собак перехитрил,
Завершая полуночный марафон.
А потом опять бежал, что было сил,
За тобой по темной улице вдогон.

Хохотали до упаду фонари.
Я в окно твое погасшее глазел.
Комары в меня вонзали волдыри,
А букет в руках беспомощно редел.

Мы столкнулись – видно, есть на свете бог.
И шарахнулись, как серые коты.
Помнишь, девочка, я веник приволок?
Это были твои первые цветы.

Я неважный вид имел как кавалер,
И язык во рту ворочался немой.
Надрывался в упоенье каждый нерв,
Но пора уже, пора было домой.

Проигрыш

Но домой мы не добрались – вот беда,
Дружно рваную рубаху обвиня.
Затуманила рассудок резеда,
И букет ей вторил, запахом пьяня.

А потом качалась ночь на каблуках,
И кувшинки глупо путались в пруду.
Помнишь, девочка, занозы на руках?
Дай бог памяти, в каком это году…

Александр Новиков - Воровка

В то лето с неба выпала
Большая благодать,
И было мне легко и так приятно.
У ней была причесочка –
«Век воли не видать»,
А юбочка – «роди меня обратно».

А я под «ноль» остриженный, пока,
Военным лазаретом.
А что у ней с наколочкой рука –
Не спрашивал об этом.
А что у ней с наколочкой рука –
Не спрашивал об этом.

Кружили мы, как голуби
Над крышами судьбы,
И маялись собой от сладкой лени.
Гудели наши головы
От истовой гульбы,
А души – вплоть до белого каленья.

И вот, однажды, спьяну в кабаке,
Какой-то сука в ботах,
Узрел у ней наколку на руке
И пошептал ей что-то.
Узрел у ней наколку на руке
И пошептал ей что-то.

И будто кровь отхлынула
В момент с ее лица,
И вниз глаза упали черной птицей.
Я взял его за шиворот
И вынес до крыльца,
И бил, чтоб было проще объяснится.

И вот, когда на нем иссякла спесь,
Мне стало бить неловко,
И я спросил: «Кто она есть?»,
И он сказал: «Воровка».
И я спросил: «Кто она есть?»,
И он сказал: «Воровка».

Тем словом, гад, нарочно он
Мне душу искромсал.
И сердце – как гадюка покусала.
Я бил его за то,
Что он всю правду рассказал,
Но не сказал про то, что – завязала.

И вот, когда вернулся я назад
С лихой и горькой миной,
Лежал один платок ее в слезах,
А в нем: «Прощай, любимый».
Лежал один платок ее в слезах,
А в нем: «Прощай, любимый».

А этот сука в ботах
Был, конечно же, ментом,
Из тех, кто нахаляву в месте злачном.
Он срисовал, как с фото,
И нагрянули потом,
И щелкнули браслетами так смачно.

И, окликая прошлое мое,
В этапе женском каждом
Я все искал красивую ее
Среди тюремных граждан.
Я все искал красивую ее
Среди тюремных граждан.

Проигрыш
И, окликая прошлое мое,
В этапе женском каждом
Я все искал красивую ее
Среди тюремных граждан.
Я все искал красивую ее
Среди тюремных граждан.
Я все искал красивую ее
Среди тюремных граждан.
Среди тюремных граждан.

Александр Новиков - Шансоньетка

Вечер по стеклу размазан,
На десерт дают стриптиз.
Раздевается не сразу -
Снизу вверх и сверху вниз.
- Ах, какая!.. Ох, какая!.. -
Языки сощелкали.
В яркий свет себя макая,
И глазенки - щелками.

Шансоньетка!.. Заведенная юла.
Шансоньетка. Не до углей, не дотла -
Выгорает до окурочка...
Дурочка!

Не столкнусь с тобой в метро я.
И не увяжусь пешком.
Здесь ползала землю роет,
Норовит тряхнуть мешком.
И не слез в тебе, ни страха,
Ни влечения к рублю.
Ну, давай еще полвзмаха -
И я тебя почти люблю!

Но, чего не будет точно
Ни по просьбе, ни на спор...
В самом издыханьи ночи,
В самый шапошный разбор,
Передушен, напомажен,
Зябко окунаясь в дым,
Твой окурок рядом ляжет
С недокуренным моим.

Шансоньетка!.. Заведенная юла.
Шансоньетка. Не до углей, не дотла -
Выгорает до окурочка...
Дурочка!

Шансоньетка!.. Заведенная юла.
Шансоньетка. Не до углей, не дотла -
Выгорает до окурочка...
Дурочка!

The Beatles - It′s only love

I get high when I see you go by, my oh my
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies, butterflies
Why am I so shy when I′m beside you?
It′s only love and that is all, why should I feel the way I do?
It′s only love and that is all but it′s so hard loving you
Is it right that you and I should fight every night?
Just the sight of you makes night-time bright, very bright
Haven′t I the right to make it up girl?
It′s only love and that is all, why should I feel the way I do?
It′s only love and that is all but it′s so hard loving you
Yes it′s so hard loving you, loving you

And if you leave me I won′t be late again
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no.

All these years I′ve been wandering around,
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you.

Ev′rybody had a hard year
Ev′rybody had a good time
Ev′rybody had a wet dream,
Ev′rybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
Ev′rybody had a good year,
Ev′rybody let their hair down,
Ev′rybody pulled their socks up,
Ev′rybody put their foot down.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

[Oh my soul... so odd.]

The Beatles - I′ve Just Seen a Face

I′ve just seen a face,
I can′t forget the time or place
Where we just met.
She′s just the girl for me
And want all the world to see
We′ve met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m′mmm-mmm.

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I′d have never been aware.
But as it is I′ll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di′n′di.

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

I have never known
The like of this, I′ve been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, di-di-di-di′n′di.

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

She said I know what it′s like to be dead

And she′s making me feel like I′ve never been born.

I said who put all those things in your hair
Things that ake me feel that I′m mad
And you′re making me feel like I′ve never been born.

She said you don′t understand what I said
I said no, no, no, you′re wrong
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right

I said even though you know what you know
I know that I′m ready to leave
′cause you′re making me feel like I′ve never been born.

She said you don′t understand what I said

The Beatles - Tell Me Why

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

Well I gave you ev′rything I had,
But you left me sitting on my own,
Did you have to treat me oh so bad,
All I do is hang my head and moan.

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

If there′s something I have said or done,
Tell me what and I′ll apologize,
If you don′t really can′t go on,
Holding back these tears in my eyes.

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

Well I beg you on my bended knees,
If you′ll only listen to my pleas,
Is there anything I can do,
′cause I really can′t stand it, I′m so in love with you.

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

I Me Mine

(Harrison)


All thru′ the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
All thru′ the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Now they′re frightened of leaving it
Ev′ryone′s weaving it,
Coming on strong all the time,
All thru′ the day I me mine.

I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine,
I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine.

All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No-one′s frightened of playing it
Ev′ryone′s saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All thru′ the day I me mine.

I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine,
I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine.

All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No-one′s frightened of playing it
Ev′ryone′s saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All thru′ your life I me mine.

The Beatles - One After 909

One After 909
---------------------
(Lennon/McCartney)


My baby says she′s trav′ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I′m travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don′t be cold as ice.

I said I′m trav′ling on the one after 909 I begged her not to go and I begged her on my
bended knees,
You′re only fooling around, you′re fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don′t be cold as ice.

I said I′m trav′ling on the one after 909
I got my bag, run to the station
Railman says you′ve got the the wrong location
I got my bag, run right home
Then I find I′ve got the number wrong

Well I said I′m trav′ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I′m travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don′t be cold as ice.

I said we′re trav′ling on the one after 9 0,
I said we′re trav′ling on the one after 9 0,
I said we′re trav′ling on the one after 909.

["Danny Boy..."]

The Beatles - Across The Universe

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing′s gonna change my world,
Nothing′s gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million
eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing′s gonna change my world,
Nothing′s gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing′s gonna change my world,
Nothing′s gonna change my world.

The Beatles - Real Love

Real Love
----------------
(John Lennon)


All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you

Don′t need to be alone
No need to be alone

It′s real love
It′s real, yes it′s real love
It′s real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Don′t need to be afraid
No need to be afraid

It′s real love
It′s real, yes it′s real love
It′s real

Thought I′d been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Don′t need to be alone
No need to be alone

It′s real love
Yes it′s real, yes it′s real love
It′s real, yes it′s real love...

The Beatles - I Need You

You don′t realize how much I need you,
Love you all the time and never leave you.
Please come on back to me.
I′m lonely as can be,
I need you.

Said you had a thing or two to tell me.
How was I to know you would upset me?
I didn′t realize
As I looked in your eyes
You told me,
Oh, yes, you told me,
You don′t want my lovin′ any more.
That′s when it hurt me
And feeling like this
I just can′t go on any more.

Please remember how I feel about you,
I could never really live without you,
So, come on back and see
Just what you mean to me
I need you.
You told me,
You don′t want my lovin′ any more.
That′s when it hurt me
And feeling like this
I just can′t go on any more.

Please remember how I feel about you,
I could never really live without you,
So, come on back and see
Just what you mean to me
I need you.
I need you.
I need you.

The Beatles - Norwegian Wood

I once had a girl,
Or should i say
She once had me;
She showed me her room,
Isn′t it good
Norwegian wood.
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So i looked around and i noticed there wasn′t a chair,

I sat on a rug,
Biding my time,
Drinking her wine.
We talked until two
And then she said,
"it′s time for bed."
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,
I told her i didn′t and crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And when i awoke
I was alone,
This bird had flown.
So i lit a fire,
Isn′t it good
Norwegian wood.

The Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun

She′s not a girl who misses much
She′s well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane.
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust.

I need a fix ′cause I′m going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I′m going down
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun.

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun
-Yes it is.

The Beatles - The Long And Winding Road

The Long And Winding Road
---------------------------
(Lennon/McCartney)


The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear,
I′ve seen that road before It always leads me here,
leads me to your door.

The wild and windy night the rain washed away,
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way
Many times I′ve been alone and many times I′ve cried
Anyway you′ll never know the many ways I′ve tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don′t leave me waiting here, lead me to you door
Da, da, da, da--

The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand

Oh yeah, I′ll tell you something,
I think you′ll understand.
When I′ll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

Oh please, say to me
You′ll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You′ll let me hold your hand.
Now let me hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It′s such a feeling that my love
I can′t hide, I can′t hide, I can′t hide.

Yeah, you′ve got that something,
I think you′ll understand.
When I′ll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It′s such a feeling that my love
I can′t hide, I can′t hide, I can′t hide.

Yeh, you′ve got that something,
I think you′ll understand.
When I′ll feel that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand

The Beatles - Free As A Bird

Free As A Bird
------------------------------------
(Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)


Free As A Bird,
It′s the next best thing to be free as a bird.
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I fly, as a bird on wings
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much
It always made me feel so
Free as a bird,
It′s the next best thing to be free as a bird.
Home home and dry
Like a homing bird I fly--a bird on wing
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Always made me feel soooo
Free

Free as a bird
It′s the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird

The Beatles - Get Back

Get Back
--------------------
(Lennon/McCartney)


[Sweet Loretta Fat thought she was a cleaner but she was a frying pan.]

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn′t last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she′s got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta
Your mother′s waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

[Thanks, Mo! ...on behalf of the group I hope we passed the audition.]

The Beatles - Two Of Us

Two of Us
-------------------
(Lennon/McCartney)


Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone′s
Hard earned pay
Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We′re on our way home
We′re on our way home
We′re going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We′re on our way home
We′re on our way home
We′re going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We′re on our way home
We′re on our way home
We′re going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We′re on our way home
We′re on our way home
We′re going home

We′re going home
Better believe it

The Beatles - With a Little Help from My Friends

What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I′ll sing you a song
And I′ll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you′re on your own ?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I′m certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can′t tell you but I know it′s mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends.

The Beatles - Love me do

Love, love me do

The Beatles - Help!

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody′s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I′m not so self assured,
Now I find I′ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I′m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won′t you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I′ve never done before.

Help me if you can, I′m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won′t you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody′s help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I′m not so self assured,
Now I find I′ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I′m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won′t you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been, lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hear, no one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night
When there′s nobody there, what does he care?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried
Along with her name, nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave, no one was saved

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

The Beatles - All you need is love

Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.

There′s nothing you can do that can′t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can′t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It′s easy.

Nothing you can make that can′t be made.
No one you can save that can′t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It′s easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

Nothing you can know that isn′t known.
Nothing you can see that isn′t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn′t where you′re meant to be.
It′s easy.

The Beatles - Come Together

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking ′cause he′s so hard to see
Come together right now over me

The Beatles - Girl

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She′s the kind of girl you want so much, it makes you sorry,
Still you don′t regret a single day.
Ah, girl, girl, girl.

When I think of all the times I′ve tried so hard to leave her,
She will turn to me and start to cry.
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
After all this time I don′t know why.
Ah, girl, girl, girl.

She′s the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool.
When you say she′s looking good
She acts as if it′s understood, she′s cool, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ah, girl, girl, girl.

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he′s dead?

Ah, girl, girl, girl.
Ah, girl, girl, girl.

The Beatles - All My Loving

Close your eyes and I′ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I′ll miss you;
Remember I′ll always be true.
And then while I′m away,

The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true.

That′s all I do
And if you saw my love
You′d love her too
I love her

She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

The Beatles - Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom let it be

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah there will be an answer let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom let it be
(2x)

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom let it be

The Beatles - Yesterday

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it look as though they′re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I′m not half the man I used to be
There′s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Chorus:
Why she had to go I don′t know, she wouldn′t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Shakira - What′ Reason?

Hold me ′cause this life is a dream
The worst nightmare there has ever been
Well the weather is appalling and my spirit guide is calling
And the bathroom is in need of a clean

Hold me will I ever be free
From this crippling anxiety
As I wait for it to finish it will slowly just diminish
′Til it′s good enough to leave me be

Hold me never let me go
There′s a thousand things I want you to know
Hold me when confusion reigns
As it soaks me to the bone again

These feelings I′m feeling are here for one reason
What reason
Our reasons are the same

Hold me ′cause this life is a dream
The most beautiful emotive scene
And I couldn′t help but laugh when you took the other half
Because you′re punishing your self-esteem

Hold me ′cause I′m asking you to
And its not something I would normally do
*If you need another reason it′s cause summer is the season
That I make my annual pass at you

Hold me never let me go
There′s a thousand things I want you to know
Hold me when confusion reigns
As it soaks me to the bone again

These feelings I′m feeling are here for one reason
What reason
Our reasons are the same

Shakira - Sueсos

Siempre soсe con las estrellas y a bicicleta ir a ellas
Siempre soсe con ser sirena, hablar con algas y ballenas
Era mi vida, mi fantasia, no solo un sueсo y nada mas
Lo que no sabia, era que existias, o que eres mi unica verdad
Porque yo, no respiro si no estas
No me puedo acostumbrar, cuando me hablas sin igual
Ya lo se, no eres perfecto y es verdad
pero aqui dentro siempre estas, haces de sueсos realidad

Castillos, princesas, que ironia, al fin al cabo fantasias
mi principe azul, mi poesia, no estaba lejos de mi vida
yo presentia que tu vendrias, que te amaria hasta el final
yo tenia un mundo de ilusiones, en el que te guarde un lugar

Porque yo, no respiro si no estas
No me puedo acostumbrar, cuando me hablas sin igual
Ya lo se, no eres perfecto y es verdad
pero aqui dentro siempre estas a hacer de sueсos realidad
Porque yo, no respiro si no estas
No me puedo acostumbrar, cuando me hablas sin igual
Ya lo se, no eres perfecto y es verdad
pero aqui dentro siempre estas a hacer de sueсos realidad

Shakira - Las de la untuicion

No me preguntes mas por mi
si ya sabes cual es la respuesta,
Desde el momento en que te vi
se a lo que voy
Yo me propongo ser de ti
una victima casi perfecta
Yo me propongo ser de ti
un volcan o el amor talvez
Es un mal comun
Y asi como ves,estoy viva aun
sera cuestion de suerte y...
Creo que empiezo a entender
(despacio, despacio comienzo a entender)
Nos deseabamos desde antes de nacer
(te siento, te siento, te siento estremecer)
Tengo el presentimiento de que empieza la accion
(adentro, adentro te vas quedando)
Y las mujeres somos las de la intuicion.
Asi, estoy dispuesta a todo
Yo te propongo un desliz
un error convertido en acierto
Yo me propongo ser de ti
un volcan o el amor talvez
Es un mal comun
y asi como ves
Estoy viva aun...
Sera cuestion de suerte y...
Creo que empiezo a entender
(despacio, despacio comienzo a entender)
Nos deseabamos desde antes de nacer
(te siento, te siento, te siento estremecer)
Tengo el presentimiento de que empieza la accion
(adentro, adentro,te vas quedando)
Y las mujeres somos las de la intuicion.

Shakira - Quince a Nutilde Os

Este nuevo amanecer
Es abrir la puerta de mis años
Sin saber por que
Esta vida nunca pasa en vano
Siempre hay un despuйs
Y vivir en este mundo
Es algo muy difнcil de ejercer.
Busco eternas primaveras
Que renazcan a la vida
Huracбn de emociones
Me confunden, me dominan.
Mi vida es transparente todavнa
La flor que se abre a plena luz del dнa
Mi primer amor
Lo siento tan directo al corazуn.
Hoy descubro que es amar
Un abrazo, una caricia plena
Algo mas que dar
Es el sueño que ahora me libera
Mi otra verdad
En mis quince soy mujer en realidad.
Busco eternas primaveras
Que renazcan a la vida
Huracбn de emociones
Me confunden, me motivan.
Mi vida es transparente todavнa
La flor que se abre a plena luz del dнa
Mi primer amor
Lo siento tan directo al corazуn.
