Doctor Retro: octubre 2011

The winner takes it all - Abba

Que hermosa canciòn, bella, Antes de la separaciòn definitiva del grupo. 1980

I don’t wanna talk/About the things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me/Now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards/And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say/No more ace to play

The winner takes it all/The loser standing small
Beside the victory/That’s her destiny

I was in your arms/Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense/Building me a fence
Building me a home/Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool/Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice/Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here/Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all/The loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain/Why should I complain.

But tell me does she kiss/Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same/When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside/You must know I miss you
But what can I say/Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide/The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show/Always staying low
The game is on again/A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small/The winner takes it all

I don’t wanna talk/If it makes you feel sad
And I understand/You’ve come to shake my hand
I apologize/If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense/No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all......

Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

Eso era rock. 1986. Alucinante.

Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer

Excelente canciòn 1986, un hard rock calificado como comercial, muy bueno

Overkill - Men at work

Una de sus mejores canciones (1983)

I can't get to sleep /I think about the implications / Of diving in too deep/And possibly the complications/Especially at night/I worry over situations/I know will be alright / Perhaps it's just imagination CHORUS Day after day it reappears /Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear/Ghosts appear and fade away/Alone between the sheets/Only brings exasperation/It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation/At least there's pretty lights/And though there's little variation /It nullifies the night
CHORUS I can't get to sleep /I think about the implications /Of diving in too deep /And possibly the complications/Especially at nightI worry over situation /I know will be alright /It's just overkill CHORUS

Copacabana - Barry Manilow

1977

Honesty - Billy joel

De 1978. Clàsica. Discoteca .Darness, a drink, a pretty girl....

If you search for tenderness / it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live. / But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind. / It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a lonely word. / Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard. / And mostly what I need from you.
I can always find someone / to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve. / But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies. / All I want is someone to believe.
Honesty is such a lonely word. / Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard. / And mostly what I need from you.
I can find a lover. / I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end. / Anyone can comfort me
with promises again. / I know, I know.
When I'm deep inside of me / don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone. /But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn. /Because you're the one I depend upon.
Honesty is such a lonely word. / Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard. /And mostly what I need from you.

Allentown - Billy Joel

1982. Cuando te preguntas y que paso, simplemente que sucediò. Excelente para deprimirse...Haces un recuento de todo...Esta letra ...

Well we are living here in Allentown / And they're closing all the factories down

Out in Bethlehem they're killing time / Filling out forms, standing in line

Well our fathers fought the Second World War / Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore

Met our mothers at the USO / Asked them to dance, danced with them slow

And we're living here in Allentown / But the restlessness was handed down

And it's getting very hard to stay / Well we're waiting here in Allentown for the Pennsylvania we never found

For the promises our teachers gave if we worked hard, if we behaved
So the graduations hang on the wall but they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real /Iron and coke, chromium steel
And we're waiting here in Allentown / But they've taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away / Every child had a pretty good shot to get at least as far as their old man got
Something happened on the way to that place / They threw an American flag in our face

Well, I'm living here in Allentown / And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting up today /
And it's getting very hard to stay
And we're living here in Allentown /
