The Presidents of the USA - Lump



Un grupo de Seattle, que en lo particular me gusto mucho, sobretodo el cover de 1998, la canción para celebrar los 20 año de MTV: "Video Killed The Radio Star", sin duda el disco mas importante de este grupo fue su opera prima:"The Presidents of the United States of America" . Otros sencillo de este disco son: "Peaches" y "Kitty".

Lump
The Presidents of the USA


Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally motionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into Lump's pajamas
She totally confused all the passing piranhas

She’s lump, she's lump
She’s in my head
She’s lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead

Lump lingered last in line for brains
And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane
Small thing's so sad that birds could land
Is Lump fast asleep or rocking out with the band?

She’s lump, she's lump
She’s in my head
She’s lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead

Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
She spent her twenties between the sheets
Life limped along at subsonic speeds

She’s lump, she's lump
She’s in my head
She’s lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead

Is this lump out of my head?
I think so
Is this lump out of my head?
I think so
Is this lump out of my head?
I think so
Is this lump out of my head?

Fastball- The Way

Una banda de un solo hit, originaria de Austin Texas, que con esta canción fue nominado al Grammy, Tony Scalzo, voz , bajo eléctrico, teclados, guitarra; Miles Zuniga, guitarra y Joey Shuffield batería , percusión; con un nombre al principio de grupo chafa mexicano: Magneto, por lo que decidieron cambiar a Fastball, su segundo disco: "All the Pain Money Can Buy" el mas recomendable.

The way
Fastball


They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going
Without ever knowing the way?
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down
They started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
Anyone could see
The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows
Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today , today
The children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They Left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
And left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
