Marina And The Diamonds - Hollywood





American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream

She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned hot blonde called Anya
I asked her ‘Why would you wanna be a hollywood wife?’
“Because I don’t want to end up living in a dive on Vine,, dive on Vine"

Air hostess is doing glossy magazines,crosswords and a flight to JFK.
39 years old with a mile high chin
trying to stimulate a mind that is slowing starting to decay
I itch my skin jump up and say
lady i know why your thoughts turned grey

[Chorus]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America
I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America

I fight security making plays for me
As soon as I touch down in old LA, he said,

Oh my god, you look just like Shakira
No no, you’re Catherine Zeta
Actually, my name’s Marina

Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things benign
You’re looking for the golden lie

[Chorus]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, I’ve been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America
I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America

American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, I’m living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanna kissing in the rain
Oh oh, I’m living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America
I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America

Boyz II Men - Dreams



Here I am again, wondering if you’re okay
Can’t stop this troubled heart
Cuz we’re apart, miles away
Phone pressed up to my ear
Wish you were here, holding me
A face to go with your sweet voice
Will bring me joy, totally

I know I can’t be there
But baby it’s alright
I’ll be waiting for you, tonight
I pray that you’ll be there
When I close my eyes
Meet me in my dreams, tonight

One thing that never changes
No matter what
I can’t wait to see you
Can’t wait to feel you
And there’s a place of our own, where we can go
Nobody knows
I close my eyes real tight
And make love to you all night

I know I can’t be there
Baby it’s alright
I’ll be waiting for you, tonight
I pray that you’ll be there
When I close my eyes
Meet me in my dreams, tonight

I wish I may, I wish you might
Find some time when you sleep tonight
To think of me and I’ll appear before your eyes
It’s my paradise, your world
You are my heart, my life, my girl
Oh, can’t wait to go to sleep
Cuz there’s a possibility, you’ll meet me

Ohh, oh oh oh oh
Ohh yeah, oh yeah
I know...

I know I can’t be there
Baby it’s alright
I’ll be waiting for you, tonight
I pray that you’ll be there
When I close my eyes
Meet me in my dreams, tonight

I know I can’t be there
Baby it’s alright
I’ll be waiting for you, tonight
I pray that you’ll be there
When I close my eyes
Meet me in my dreams, tonight

The Sandpipers - Guantanamera



Guantanamera, my little Guantanamera
Guantanamera, my little Guantanamera
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palmas
Y antes de morir me quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
Guantanamera, my little Guantanamera
Guantanamera, my little Guantanamera

Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmà n encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmà n encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
Que busca en el monte amparo

The words mean 'I am a truthful man from the land of the palm trees.
And before dying, I want to share these poems of my soul.
My poems are soft green. My poems are also flaming crimson.
My poems are like a wounded fawn seeking refuge in the forest.

The last verse says:'Con los pobres de la tierra'.
With the poor people of this earth I want to share my fate.
The streams ofthe mountains please me more than the sea.

Elvis Presley - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me



When I said, I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed, but you
And now you've gone away

Don't you know that now you're gone
And I'm left here on my own
Now I have to follow you
And beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down

Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, oh...believe me
