"the next time it happens" (richard rodgers / oscar hammerstein II)

(fotografia de Manuel Alvarez Bravo, "la buena fama durmiendo" (1938)


"The next time it happens
I'll know what not to do

The next time it happens
I'll be wise enough to know
Not to trust my eyesight
When my eyes begin to glow

The next time I'm in love
With anyone like you
My heart will sing no love song
Till I know the words are true

The next time it happens
What a foolish thing to say
Who expects a miracle
To happen every day

It isn't in the cards
As far as I can see
That a thing so
Beautiful and wonderful
Could happen more than once to me" (1)

"you're in a bad way" (sarah cracknell / bob stanley / pete wiggs)

(fotografia de manuel alvarez bravo, "fruta prohibida", 1976)

"Toast is burned,
and your coffee’s cold,
And you leave all the post `cause it’s nothing but bills again.
Home from work,
put the tv on.
Get your kicks watching bruce on the old generation game

Just dial my number,
I’ve got some plans for you.
You’re in a bad way
and I can help you through.
You’re in a bad way,
every day is just the same.
Just dial my number
or call my name.

Jeans are old
and your hair’s all wrong
Don’t you know that crew-cuts and trainers are out again?
Going out
you’re feeling low
Running for cover, it looks like it’s going to rain.
what a shame.)

Just dial my number,
I’ve got some plans for you.
You’re in a bad way and I can help you through.
You’re in a bad way,
every day seems just the same.
Just dial my number
or call my name." (1)

"bridge over troubled water" (paul simon)

(fotografia de manuel alvarez bravo, "estudio de manos de tamayo, mexico", 1931)


"When you're weary, feeling small,
when tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
and friends just can't be found,
like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
when you're on the street,
when evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
and pain is all around,
like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind" (1)
