LA RUTA: 'The Forest Is Burning'


1) BLEEDING HEART

Well, I feel so good and
I don't know what it it is.
But I've got to say that
I've never felt like this.
What has happened
To my bleeding heart?

It sends a shiver
Running down my spine.
I begin to think
I'm about to lose my mind.
Something happened
To my bleeding heart.

Yes, I used to cry
My heart out all night long.
It seemed my life had
Somehow all gone wrong
What had happened
To my bleeding heart?

Well it used to shudder.
Now it seems to spurt.
Sometimes it missed
But now it really works.
Once a lost cause
Was my bleeding heart.

Well I feel so good and
I don't know what it it is.
But I've got to say that
I've never felt like this.
What has happened
To my bleeding heart?
 


2) SHAME ON YOU

Oh, Shame on you!
How you used to hold me.
Shame on you!
Sad stories that you told me.
If one thing is true
All of the shame is on you.

Shame on you!
How you used to squeeze me.
Shame on you!
The wicked ways
In which you teased me.
If one thing is true
All of that shame is on you.

Well, it's a crying shame.
Shame on you!
Better change your name.
Won't that be a shame?
Shame on You!
All of the blame
And all the shame is on you.

Oh, Shame on you!
How you used to touch me.
Shame on you!
You cut me and you crushed me.
If one thing is true,
All of the shame is on you.

Oh, Shame on you!
How you used to hold me.
Shame on you!
Sad stories that you told me.
If one thing is true,
All of the shame is on you.

Well, it's a crying shame.
Shame on you!
Better change your name.
Won't that be a shame?
Shame on You!
All of the blame
And all the shame is on you.



3) CALL ME

Call me, right away.
Call me, I've got to
Hear from you today
Or I'll drown in my own tears.
It's been so long
It seems like it's been years
Since you've been gone
I don't know how I carry on
Call me.

Call me, I implore.
Call me, I can't wait
A moment more for the sound
Of your sweet voice
Ringing in my ears.
It seems like donkey's years
Since you've been gone.
I don't know how I'll get along,
Call me.

Call me, when you arrive.
Call me and let me know
I'm still alive.
Don't let me down.
But make it soon - this afternoon.
It seems like donkey's years
Since you've been gone.
Don't know how I carry on.
Call me.



4) SO EXCITED

You're such a beautiful thing.
You're such a beautiful thing.
It's in the way that you walk,
Your style of talk.
It's in the love that you bring.
And I'm so excited by it.

You're such a beautiful thing.
You've got the perfect swing.
It's in the way that you walk,
Your style of talk.
It's in the love that you bring.
And I'm so excited by it.

Each night when I get home,
I disconnect the phone.
I pull the back door to
Just me and you, all alone.
You've got me so excited now,
I can't leave you alone.

I lay one hand across your hip
And brush your neck with my fingertips.
Then I slide from the saddle,
All the way up - it's a sexy lick.
You've got me so excited
I can't leave you alone.

You're such a beautiful thing.
You're such a beautiful thing.
It's in the way that you walk,
Your style of talk
And the song that you sing.
And I'm so excited by it.

I can't leave you alone.
I can't leave you alone.
When I get up,
I reach and pick you up
And you sigh and moan.
You've got me so excited now,
I can't leave you alone.
I can't leave you alone.



5) GOOD FEELING

So many, many times,
Oh so many times
I've heard your blues from the heart
A thousandfold sensation
Each one a soul vibration
From you to me, in you for me
Falling wake,
I dream once more of you
And hear the echo of the blues

So many, many times,
Oh so many times
I've felt these blues in my heart.
You give your whole heartache.
Your very soul vibrates
In you for me. From me to you
One thing that gives me
The will to carry on
And that's the echo of the blues

So many times, many many times
I've heard these blues from the heart
A thousandfold sensations
Each one a soul vibration
From you to me, in you for me
Falling wake,
I dream once more of you
And hear the echo of the blues.

Falling awake,
I hear the echo of the blues
Make no mistake,
I hear the echo of the blues.
The dream will break.
I hear the echo of the blues.
You heart will ache.
I hear the echo of the blues.



6) FIRESIDE

I come in late.
No one at home.
I find a note left
Beside the telephone.
It's such a shame.
It won't be the same.
Once we were happy
Sitting by the fireside.

But you've got a problem
Oh yes you have
Big problem, run and
Ask your mum & dad
See what they say.
Do it right away.
Once they were happy
Sitting by the fireside.

Now, listen to me.
Listen to me, please.
I want to thank you for
Everything you've done for me
Then I'll say "Good night"
Then I'll say: "Bye-bye"
Once I was happy
Sitting by the fireside.

So listen to me.
Listen to me, please
I want a thankyou for
Everything you took from me.
Then we'll call it quits.
That's the end of it.
Once we were happy
Sitting by the fireside.

I come in late.
No one at home.
And read a note left
Beside the telephone.
And I feel the same.
It's a crying shame.
I was happy, baby
Sitting by the fireside.



7) END IN TEARS

Pretty little baby
Wrapped up in her Daddy's arms.
Lovely little lady,
Dad's little good luck charm.
Mark my words
When I say It'll all end.
It'll all end in tears.

Mama's got a daytime
And Papa's got a nighttime job.
I’ve seen Daddy on the corner.
Daddy likes to push his luck.
Mark my words when I say
It’ll all end. It’ll all end in tears.

I can hear that baby screaming,
But will she ever learn to talk?
I can hear that baby screaming
But will she ever learn to walk?
Mark my words
When I say it'll all end.
It'll all end in tears.

Pretty little baby (X4)
Wrapped up (X4)
In her Daddy's arms.
Lovely little lady
Daddy's little, daddy's little
Good luck charm
Mark my words
When I say it'll all end.
It'll all end in tears.



8) THE FOREST IS BURNING

The forest is burning.
Right here in La Floresta
Choppers are flying
Right overhead, right now.
Sirens are whining,
Sounding their warning.
Fash fires on the hillsides
Since late in the morning

Up here on the rooftop,
I can see the black smoke blown.
A cruel wind that's feeding
The flamers growing higher.
And it's up in the nineties
With no sign of rain yet.
If the wind changes
This place is a fire trap.

Somebody took a rabbit
And a cloth soaked in gasoline.
They tied it to the tail.
Put a match to the cruel fuse.
The rabbit runs through the forest
Through the dry leaves and brushwood.
Kindling for the fires,
If only it would rain soon.



9) WHEN THE BOOZE HAS GOT YOU

When you leave the club
And your stomach is weak
And you can't walk straight
On your two left feet:
That's when the booze has got you.
Then the booze has got you.
And when the booze has got you,
Take a taxi home.

If your head is spinning
And your vision is blurred.
And you slur your speech
As you leave the kerb.
Then the booze has got you.
And the booze has got you.
And when the booze has got you,
Walk your own way home.

In moderate to large
Amounts consumed:
A condition of insanity
Expressly consumed.
When the booze has got you,
Then the booze has got you.
And when the booze has got you,
Take a taxi home.

When the booze has got you
When the booze has got you
When the booze has got you
When the booze has got you
When that booze has got you
Take that taxi home.

When the booze has got you
When the booze has got you
That's when the blues has got you
When the booze has got you
And when the booze has got you
Take that taxi home

When the blues has got you
When the booze has got you
When the blues has got you
Then the booze has got you
When that booze has got you
Take a taxi home.



10) MY TV

I don't like what I see.
I won't watch my TV.
It's a sin it's a crime.
It's an awful waste
Of your time and mine.

There's some kind of
Clown who reads the news.
Eyes down, his views are skewed.
It's a sin it's a crime.
It's an awful waste
Of your time and mine.

I don' like what I find.
It doesn't stretch my my mind.
It's a sin it's a crime.
It's an awful waste
Of your time and mine.

Soap just won't wash for me.
It's not my cup of tea.
It's a sin, it's a crime,
It's an awful waste
Of your time and mine.

It's a sin, it's a crime,
It's an awful waste
Of your time and mine.



11) KEEP YOUR HEAD

We're both working hard,
just to survive.
And in trying to earn a living
We forget how to live our lives.
Just keep your head.
Honey, keep your cool.
I'll meet you after class.
I'll pick you up from school.
Just keep your head.

I can't sleep at night.
Lord, I roll and I sweat.
And I then wake up in the morning
And the sheet and the pillow's soaking wet.
Just keep your head.
Honey, keep your cool.
I'll meet you when it's dark.
I'll pick you up from school.
Just keep your head.

We'll find a way,
just you wait and see.
And if you're scared about tomorrow
Then spend it right here beside me.
Just keep your head.
Just keep your cool.
I'll meet you after class.
I'll pick you up from school.
Just keep your head.

It's all going to work out fine.
It's all going to be just alright now.
It's all going to work out fine
It's all going to be alright.



12) DO IT YOURSELF

Take the spirit level up.
Put the picture straight.
Now pick all the broken pieces up
And knock them into shape.
Strip the wall and size it up
And add a lick of paint.
In no time you can have it
Looking good as new.
If you take a pride.

Get off your backside and
Do it yourself. (X2)
It's a bummer and I'm sorry
But you're gonna have to
Do it yourself.

Turn the record over, please
Fix us both a drink
Then take all the dirty washing up
And drop it in the sink
Now this could use a screw or two
And there's a door still creaks
In no time you can have it
Working good as new
If you don't backslide

Get off your backside and
Do it yourself. (X2)
It's a bummer, but I do believe
You're gonna have to
Do it yourself.

Hire yourself a power tool
And a bib'n'brace.
Are you really such a handyman
Or just a waste of space?
Fill those cracks and
Check those leaks.
Eradicate that pest.
In no time you can
Have it feeling brand new
If you have a mind.

Do it yourself - Come on now!
Do it yourself.
Let's see you do it yourself.
Why can't you do it yourself
It's a bummer
But I do believe
You're gonna have to
Do it yourself.
