1- Smaragdos Margara EN VIVO - DUO GUARDABARRANCO

He’s name is Michael,
and breaks his string on every show.
He’s kind of psycho,
But that’s ok ‘cause so are you.
Now if you see him come around don’t be afraid,
The guy looks spooky but that’s his way.
He’s just a man with a guitar,
Singing a song to take you far.

You’ll see him laugh
Takes photographs
And nothing will stop him from rocking hard

He’s going out to a gig
He’ll be rollin’ a sig
…and when he sees you will smile!

It’s Michael!

Take him in or leave him out,
It’s your choice there’s no doubt.
But if you know him like I do,
You’ll want him sitting next to you.
He talks about band you’ve never heard,
Drinks weird liquors no one dares.
You won’t know if he’s too drunk,
But sure will he play more punk.

You’ll see him laugh
Takes photographs
And nothing will stop him from rocking hard

He’s going out to a gig
He’ll be rollin’ a sig
…and when he sees you will smile!

Are you ready!

He’ll be your friend
You’re waisted friend,
You’re strangest friend!

Michael

Anyway, a crossing tale, every movement
is too much high
it’s wrong this way,
it’s lost the side,
clearly borders in your eyes
by the way, inside your vein, nothing to do,
a blessing mind
anyway , back in time, something to complete for a while
and nothing right and something right,
wrong side, for a while

Wrong Side

Hey man, rising in the street of a bad dirt town,
hey man. running in your lips, i will be your hound,
and when i’ve found it overboard don’t look back,
and when i’ve lost you time before, just save your ass

hey man, walking in a sweet deep hole ground,
hey man, falling in a big black showdown,
and when i’ve found it scare alone don’t look back,
and when i’ve lost you shut the door, just save your ass

i don’t wanna have your money and
i don’t wanna hear your story and
don’t prove anything so sorry

i’m sick to move, a warning and
don’t never leave my darling and
nothing to do, so bloody

hey man, around the hell,
hey man, i feel so well,
hey man, over the head

Hey Man!

it seems so hard, it seems so, nothing hit we cold, it seems so hurt, it seems so, everybody knows,
it seems so hard, it seems so, trash and blood, it seems so hard, it seems so, nothing hit so long..

wild bad love, i will dive in a sick mad world,
wild bad love, i roller, rise and fall,
wild bad love, i will dive, behind the storm,
wild bad love. don’t lie, don’t lie at all..

i want you, i need you, i leave you,
i’m feeling so far, i’m dreaming so far

W.B.L.

I have a voice deep in my head,
Telling me to stop moaning and get on…
I know it’s scary with a gun,
I will feel better once I’m done!

I’m dead, dead!
I can feel the cold is bursting in my head.
I’m dead, dead!
All the pain I had is dripping on the bed.

I had to try it and now I’ve done it.
Oh wait a moment, how can I stop it?

I’m dead, dead!
I can feel the cold is bursting in my head.
I’m dead, dead!
Wait a moment what have I just said?

Oh no! What did I do?

Dead

Another family on the streets,
A silent eviction to keep it so discrete.
There’s no place for you to be,
If you don’t fit society.
Here we are marching for those,
Who’ve lost the voice but not their cause.

You’ll be standing in line,
Not your city!
You are building a wall,
Not your city!

We will never again endure,
Injustice on the weak or the poor.
Blow our homes, torture the kids,
Punch the face, break the ribs.
We all know to full degree,
It could be you it may be me!

You’ll be standing in line,
Not your city!
You are building a wall,
Not your city!

This is not a test, you’re all under curfew!
Anybody found outside after sunset,
Will be shot!

Can’t stop the fight ‘till there’s a war.
Won’t take your orders anymore.

You’ll be standing in line,
Not your city!
You are building a wall,
Not your city!
Shoot us again,
Not your city!
Look in our eyes,
Not your city!

Not Your City

There’s a time I want to save
When we couldst and only play
Every day just runs so fast
I wish I knew it wouldn’t last
Oh, no!

Nothing more that I can do
And nothing left that I can say
You’re hair is growing everywhere
Forgive me please you are no where

No where!

Stay, inside I wish you could
Stay, I never felt so insecure but now
You are going to make me pay
That’s ok ‘cause I’m a stray

Stay
