LUCKY BAR 03:06
lyrics

LUCKY BAR We write down all the things we like on an invisible notebook The whole package, take it or leave it Beauty, the towns we didn't seen if the songs hadn’t taken us there Do you know anything else about that woman looking at you as if you were losing it? Lucky Bar There in the Lucky Bar Get us another round at the Lucky Bar Machado, Blake, John Berger’s books The whole package take it or leave it Is there anything better than surviving? Yes, the second beer The last one? Three cigarettes, two words and the shadows of the Lucky Bar Lucky Bar Get us another round at the Lucky Bar Listen... Life Don't forget it, yes That phrase... Here today gone tomorrow And sometimes there is just the here and now... In the Lucky Bar Lucky Bar Get us another round at the Lucky Bar (c) Fernando Garcin, copyrighted, 2002. Arteria Ed.

RUST (Óxido) The tailpipe of my motorbike has a crack When I’m trying on starting it, it sounded different A classic sound I drove it to the mechanic He said we had to change the pipe The crack was caused by rust Too much humidity That classic sound Such is rust Too much time in the open air he told me and it’s true It has been a careless year for it As much for me as for the house, but we pulled through and it’s not too bad Just a classic sound About the effect of that rusty year on my heart The mechanic told me I could change the pipe The exhaust pipe of my feelings and ought to be in mind that classic sound.

BELA MONTE 04:29
lyrics

BELA MONTE The shape of your mother Your long body and your voice So many sad guys cry at your feet when you’re going and they don’t know your name Bela Monte Your loves never last You’ve learned to read others’ future but your future is a mystery And you don’t know how you feel until you lose feeling And fear is young and your daring Bela Monte There are men that could kill you and others would die for you So some bones crack from abuse as much as hugs And your gaze falls in places where nobody else dare to look Bela Monte One of these days you won’t be so young Beauty is not pausing This air of a runaway with no reasons We are both orphans I don’t know where you will sleep tonight What continent will not have enough space to your being Bela Monte You are from the place I grew up Fifteen years old, love among the reeds Watching trains and wanting to be in them Too early to have scars Too late to heal the wounds Bela Monte I don’t know how to feel again That’s something that stops and starts again I can hear our voices from the seashore Desire is a wandering light Truth an adolescent dream Fear is losing what is already lost Bela Monte I have a picture of what I was Your look of goodbye Nothing to lose by changing Bela Monte Where will you be? What will they call you? If I hear my name perhaps I will turn and look Bela Monte Where will you be? Who will love you? (c) Fernando Garcin. All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2002. Arteria Ed.

PUZZLE 02 New year’s day You’re in another town Girls are sleeping The clouds don’t get up You’re groping through the dark The same old puzzle again and the piece called heart It’s our Puzzle 02… I like your style Your dance-hall spell I don’t like your style when you don’t take care with the sword and the rose Those missing pieces of the puzzle of our hearts Puzzle 02… We’ll meet again whenever you want on the other side of the sun We could learn new tricks and forget the fake ones Now choose a colour This puzzle is magic There’s hope for the two of us It’s our puzzle 02… COMPLETE LYRICS ENGLISH: http://www.fernandogarcin.com/html/FGARCINlyrics88-19.pdf COMPLETE LYRICS SPANISH: http://www.fernandogarcin.com/html/FGARCINlyrics88-19.pdf © Fernando Garcin.

NO NOS VAMOS A QUEJAR 03:34

WE’RE NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN NO MORE (No nos vamos a quejar nunca más) It’s just another day you’re coming back home Debts took your house away Someone wants you more alive Someone wants you more dead We’re not going to complain no more If you don’t make noise, people don’t hear If you make noise, who will listen You strained your voice in the cave Out of the cave is even worse We’re not going to complain no more She wants to be sure of who you are You are not sure about anything She doesn’t want to be your muse She doesn’t want to be your mom We’re not going to complain no more Another day in the dug-up city If you are sensitive take care boy An angel passes... You fall down thinking of how beautiful is We’re not going to complain no more You can tell it louder but not clearer City under construction work... are they good works? Remember the Dakota proverb The path is beautiful, silence The path is beautiful, silence We’re not going to complain no more...

AN EMBRACE (En un abrazo) There’s no space for the cold in an embrace There’s not that much more to say There are some wars over there and there are some other wars within I look at you and I can’t see your face I see your face and I don’t want anything more You, where are you going? I can’t guess what are you thinking of You, where are you going? We may go together a while Look, put on some old music That new stuff it’s no good for me There’s some things that make me laugh and there’s some things that make me cry Words are not the things What are you pretending to change? You, where are you going? I can’t guess what you’re thinking of You, where are you going? We may go together a while There’s no space for the cold in an embrace Sometimes it’s better to forget Blue pains and letters of love You’re alone, you may stay alone I look at you and I can’t see your face I see your face now and I don’t want anything more You, where are you going? We may go together a while You, where are you going? You don’t know it but we met each other before You, where are you going? We may go together a while You, where are you going?

1978 Days of madness and joy A dark angel made its nest in your room Twenty years still to come Remember what you're feeling now Remember what you were feeling then Shine and then pass on Shine and go 1979 Out of the blue and into the black Horses, Slow train coming ¿What's a fuse like you doing in a volcano like this? Cut your hair Draw your dreams in blood on the wall 1998 Whatever you do do it well You flipped a coin and it hasn’t come back yet Twenty years now Remember what you're feeling now Remember what you were feeling yesterday Shine and pass on Shine and go and see… © Fernando Garcin.

LA COSTA OESTE 02:25
lyrics
buy track
THE WEST COAST (La Costa Oeste) Silence. You take what you love with you like wet sand under your feet. A certain common sense took you far from a world of being at home at ten from boring men with feminine faces and boring women with masculine faces. A world in which fantasy is a bone to gnaw, The right and the good what serve to the ones who define transgressions, the ambition of bloodsuckers. Desire is an outlaw yet is not from the law your fingers point out between the sky and earth. You’ve come from the West Coast but you keep on being at the same place because you never left. Let’s go fishing to the dyke You know it’s not for the fish though you’re a fish, and the fishing rod and this friend going with you And that woman who approaches you from behind You feel her breathe in your ear You turn… and the blue The immense blue that whispers: “You’ll keep on being there when you no longer are” © Fernando Garcin.

PRAYER 709 (Plegaria709) Take care of my voice for when I cannot speak Keep hold of your silence for my voice Throw your tears to heaven when you are riding the storm Throw some sugar to the waves Put your longer day on my shoulder Lose yourself, cats just do it Find yourself, cats just do it If you cannot see you are there turn off the light Smile at the ground Avoid me, embrace me Miss me, meet me Say 709 Say you are thirsty when they ask you about hunger Talk that way, in the dark Move that way, without thinking so much Go against the tide, ride another wave Come to see me Dance with your surroundings Dance around your world Dance… © Fernando Garcin.

THE BEST HOUR (La Mejor Hora) In your smile of a man who might be king there’s pain there’re dry river beds there’s truth You stoke the fire with your closed eyes with the clear look of women that are as crazy as you It’s the best hour: your favourite when times slips away Rough sea, enclosed sea Her hands on your shoulder when silence falls It’s the best hour: your favourite when time slips away In your smile of a man who might be king there’s passion there’re two blue cat’s eyes there’s truth It’s the best hour: your favourite when time slips away, away, away...
