ticking away the moments
that make up a dull day
you fritter and waste the hours
in an offhand way.
kicking around on a piece
of ground in your home town
waiting for someone or something
to show you the way.
tired of lying in the sunshine staying
home to watch the rain.
you are young and life is long and
there is time to kill today.
and then one day you find
ten years have got behind you.
no one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun.
so you run and you run to catch up with the sun
but its sinking
racing around to come
up behind you again.
the sun is the same in a relative way,
but youre older,
shorter of breath and one day
closer to death.
every year is getting shorter
never seem to find the time.
plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation
is the english way
the time is gone,
the song is over,
thought id something more to say.

Mistreated
Imagen: https://www.coffeewithkenobi.com/new-images-and-featurette-for-george-lucas-strange-magic/
Mistreated
I've been mistreated
I've been abused
I've been struck downhearted, baby
I've been confused
'Cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing my mind
You know I have
I've been abused
I've been struck downhearted, baby
I've been confused
'Cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing my mind
You know I have
I've been lonely
I've been cold
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'Cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, I've been losing
I've been losing my mind
Baby baby baby
I've been cold
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'Cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, I've been losing
I've been losing my mind
Baby baby baby
I've been mistreated
I've been abused
I've been looking for a woman, yeh
I've been…
I've been abused
I've been looking for a woman, yeh
I've been…

"The Man Who Sold The World"
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

"El hombre que vendió el mundo"
Pasamos por la escalera, hablamos de era y cuando
Aunque yo no estaba allí, él dijo que yo era su amigo
Lo que vino como una sorpresa le dije a sus ojos
Pensé que habías muerto solo, hace mucho tiempo
Oh no no yo
Nunca he perdido el control
Estás cara a cara
Con El Hombre Que Vendió El Mundo
Me reí y le estreché la mano, y regresé a casa
Busqué forma y tierra, durante años y años recorrí
Miré fijamente la mirada a todos los millones aquí
Debemos haber muerto solo hace mucho tiempo
¿Quién sabe? yo no
Nunca perdimos el control
Estás cara a cara
Con el hombre que vendió el mundo

Simon & Garfunkel Kodachrome
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those
nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all
the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama
don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse
in black and white
Kodachrome
They give us those
nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all
the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama
don't take my Kodachrome away

And I love her Beatles
And I Love Her
I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
She gives my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
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
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
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
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
