"ALMOST CUT MY HAIR"
CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG

("I’ll now proceed to entangle the entire area")



Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was getting kind of long
I could have said it was in my way

But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking into a mirror and seeing a police car

But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
Cos I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone

When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in some of that sweet summer weather
I'm going to find a space inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff

Cos I feel like I owe it, yeah
Said I feel like I owe it, yeah
You know I feel---- like I owe it yeah to someone
"ROCK AND ROLL WOMAN"
BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD (II)



There's a woman that you ought to know
And she's coming, singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll, she's a joy to know
'Neath the shadow of a soothing hand
I am free there, just to make my plans
Dream of far away lands, anything close at hand
And she will follow me wide, do you know
Familiar places she's been by, that I know
Could it be, she don't have to try
And tomorrow, she's a friend of mine
And the sorrow, I see her face is lined
She's no longer blind, she's just hard to find
"BLUEBIRD"
BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD



Hi reconeixeu en Neil Young i l'Stephen Stills??

Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can't tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
She knows only crying, just crying
There she sits, aloft a perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
Thinks only of you, just you, oh yeah
So get all those blues
Must be a thousand hues
And be just differently used
You just know
You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize
She got soul, she got soul
She got soul, she got soul
Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?
Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Give herself a bath of tears
And go home and go home

"MILES, MILES, MILES"
KEVIN MORBY



If you knew the death I’d wanted
Or measure that hole that I’m in
If you knew just how far I’d travel ooh
Then, maybe then, only thenAll of friends would be there
All to greet me, inside me is not air
If you knew just how far I travel
Oooh, Miles, Miles, Miles
If you saw that heat I was on
All the view from that mountain tall
If you knew just how far I travel
Maybe then I wouldn’t seem so odd
Then, they wouldn’t stop to stare
Ooh, no then, they wouldn’t even dare
If you knew just how far I travel
Oooh, Miles, Miles, Miles
That devil hang up on that cross
All the evil that I came upon
If you knew just how far I travel
Oooh, Miles, Miles, Miles

"AL MAR!"
MANEL



Tu i jo hem sopat en bons restaurants,
tu i jo hem ballat a la llum d’un fanal,
tu i jo volavem en un Ford Fiesta groc,
tu i jo hem cantat a la vora del foc,
tu i jo hem buscat coses similars,
tu i jo hem tingut el cap ple de pardals,
tu i jo dalt de la nòria,
tu i jo i la nostra història,
però tu i jo no ens hem banyat mai al mar, al mar, al mar.

Plantem les tovalloles, convido a un gelat,
juguem amb alegria, esquivem passejants.
A l’horitzó es divisen les veles
d’uns nens que fan optimist a la cala del costat.
Dormo una estona, a la que bufa la mar,
així estirada se’t veu espectacular
llarga i blanqueta a la sorra llegint
intrigues de final inesperat.
Es abusiva tanta calor.
T’incorpores i et poses bé el banyador,
amb el peu calcules com està l’aigua
i tot esta llest per tal que entrem al mar.

Així doncs si un dia vens i passes per aquí,
i sí malgrat la feina trobem un matí,
no em perdonaria mai, no podria assumir,
no agafar-te amb la moto i que no fessim camí,
molt lluny d’aquí, a l’altra banda del món,
hi ha un xiringuito amb quatre pins al fons,
tu i jo asseguts a la barra d’un bar,
sona bona música i som davant del mar.
"WICKED MAN"
BEN HARPER



Children come running to the truth
But you've got to peel the skin to get the fruit
And while one's living high another's grieving
But what's sweet by morning is bitter by the evening
Oh - What's sweet by morning is bitter by the evening

The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall

When the moon chase away the sun
And cause my day to run
I will not fear the darkest night
For I know upon the other side is light
Oh - The other side is light

The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall

Every man is a common man
And every common man has his plan
But while the hungry man seek any food in sight
The greedy man seek only appetite
Oh - The greedy man seek only appetite

The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall

Oh - The wicked man shall fall
Oh - The wicked
The wicked
Oh - The wicked man shall fall
Fall - Fall - Fall - Fall
Wicked man
Wicked man
Oh - Fall

"CHURCH HOUSE STEPS"
BEN HARPER  (and The Blind Boys of Alabama)



Oh - I sat down upon the church house steps
I sat down upon the church house steps
I sat down upon the church house
Down upon the church house steps

With all my hopes and dreams
All of my regrets

Oh - I sat down upon the church house steps
I sat down upon the church house steps
I sat down
I sat down upon the church house steps

With all I have lost
And with all I have been blessed

Oh - I sat down
Oh - I sat down
Oh - I sat down upon
I sat down upon the church house steps

I reached to the sky
As I hung my head and wept
Oh - I wept

Oh - I sat down
Oh - I sat down
I sat down
Oh - I sat down

If these wings should fail me
(Won't you) meet me with another pair
