Julieta Venegas - Limón Y Sal lyrics

Artist: Julieta Venegas

Album: Limón Y Sal

Tengo que confesar que a veces

no me gusta tu forma de ser

luego te me desapareces y no entiendo muy bien por qué

no dices nada romántico cuando llega el atardecer te pones de un humor extraño con cada luna llena al mes.

Pero a a todo lo demás le gana lo bueno que me das sólo tenerte cerca siento que vuelvo a empezar.

CORO:

Yo te quiero con limón y sal, yo te quiero tal y como estás,

no hace falta cambiarte nada,

yo te quiero si vienes o si vas,

si subes y bajas y

no estás seguro de lo que sientes.

Tengo que confesarte ahora

nunca creí en la felicidad

a veces algo se le parece, pero

es pura casualidad.

Luego me vengo a encontrar con tus ojos y me dan algo más

solo tenerte cerca siento

que vuelvo a empezar.

CORO

Solo tenerte cerca

siento que vuelvo a empezar....

I have to confess at times I do not like you. You disappear and I do not understand. You never say anything Romantic, and you have such a strange humor each full moon.

I want you with Lime & Salt. Just the way you are. I want if when you come and go, high or low. You make me unsure of how I feel.

I never believed in happiness until the times, when I'm being myself. Perhaps its pure concidence. Then I find myself in your eyes, and it all begins again.

:pbpt:

You're right :smile:

How You Live (turn Up The Music) - Point Of Grace

Verse 1:

Wake up to the sunlight

With your windows open

Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken

Wear your red dress

Use your good dishes

Make a big mess and make lots of wishes

Have what you want

But want what you have

And don't spend your life lookin' back

Chorus:

Turn up the music

Turn it up loud

Take a few chances

Let it all out

You won't regret it

Lookin' back from where you have been

Cuz it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

Verse 2:

So go to the ballgames

And go to the ballet

And go see your folks more than just on the holidays

Kiss all your children

Dance with your wife

Tell your husband you love him every night

Don't run from the truth

'Cause you can't get away

Just face it and you'll be okay

Chorus:

Turn up the music

Turn it up loud

Take a few chances

Let it all out

You won't regret it

Lookin' back from where you have been

'Cause it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

Bridge:

Oh wherever you are and wherever you've been

Now is the time to begin

Verse 3:

So give to the needy

And pray for the grieving

E'en when you don't think that you can

'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you

So think of your fellow man

Make peace with God and make peace with yourself

'Cause in the end there's nobody else

Chorus

Turn up the music

Turn it up loud

Take a few chances

Let it all out

'Cause you won't regret it

Lookin' back from where you have been

'Cause it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

'Cause it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

very nice

Runnin out of self-control

Gettin close to an overload

Up against a no win situation

Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove

Im hangin up my boxin gloves

Im ready for a long vacation

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will

Oh be good to yourself

Youre walkin a high wire, caught in a cross fire

Oh be good to yourself

When you cant give no more

They want it all but you gotta say no

Im turnin off the noise that makes me crazy

Lookin back with no regrets

To forgive is to forget

I want a little piece of mind to turn to

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will

Oh be good to yourself

Youre walkin a high wire, caught in a cross fire

Oh be good to yourself

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will

Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine

There's somethin' special on my mind

Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy

And I can tell I'm her kind of guy

She danced close to me like I hoped she would

(she danced with me like I hoped she would)

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

We only danced for a minute or two

But then she stuck close to me the whole night through

Can I be fallin' in love

She's everything I've been dreamin' of

She's everything I've been dreamin' of

I walked her home and she held my hand

I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand

So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could

(I asked to see her and she told me I could)

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

To something good, oh yeah, something good

(somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

To something good, something good, something good

What you got if you ain't got love

The kind that you just want to give away

It's ok to open up

Go ahead and let the light shine through

I know it's hard on a rainy day

You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone

But don't run out on your faith

Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

Is just a grain of sand

And what you've been out there searching for forever

Is in your hands

And when you figure out love is all that matters after all

It sure makes everything else seem

So small

It's so easy to get lost inside

A problem that seems so big at the time

It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole

While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change

And worrying about all the wrong things

Time's flying by, moving so fast

You better make it count cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

Is just a grain of sand

And what you've been out there searching for forever

Is in your hands

Oh, and when you figure out love is all that matters after all

It sure makes everything else seem

So small, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

Is just a grain of sand

And what you've out there searching for forever

Is in your hands

And then you figure out love is all that matters after all

It sure makes everything else

Oh, it sure makes everything else seem

So small

Linkin Park Bleed It Out Lyrics

[Mike Shinoda]

Here we go for the hundredth time,

Hand grenade pins in every line,

Throw 'em up and let something shine.

Going out of my f**king mind.

Filthy mouth, no excuse.

Find a new place to hang this noose.

String me up from atop these roofs.

Knot it tight so I won't get loose.

Truth is you can stop and stare,

Bled myself out and no one cares.

Dug a trench out, laid down there

With a shovel up out to reach somewhere.

Yeah someone pour it in,

Make it a dirt dance floor again.

Say your prayers and stomp it out,

When they bring that chorus in.

[Chester Bennington]

(Chorus)

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away.

[Mike Shinoda]

I bleed it out.

Go, stop the show.

Choppy words and a sloppy flow.

Shotgun opera, lock and load,

Cock it back and then watch it go.

Mama help me, I've been cursed,

Death is rolling in every verse.

Candy paint on his brand new hearse.

Can't contain him, he knows he works.

F**k this hurts, I won't lie.

Doesn't matter how hard I try.

Half the words don't mean a thing,

[Bleed It Out lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

And I know that I won't be satisfied.

So why, try ignoring him.

Make it a dirt dance floor again.

Say your prayers and stomp it out,

When they bring that chorus in.

[Chester Bennington]

(Chorus)

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away.

I bleed it out.

I've opened up these scars,

I'll make you face this.

I pulled myself so far,

I'll make you face this now.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,

Digging deeper just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away,

Just to throw it away.

I bleed it out.

I bleed it out.

I bleed it out.

Johnny Rivers - Memphis

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee

Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me

She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call

'cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie

She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee

Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge

Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye

With "hurry-home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had

Marie is only six years old, information please

Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Johnny Rivers - Midnight Special

You get up in the mornin', you hear the ding dong ring,

Now you look up on the table, you see the same darn thing.

You find no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.

But if you say a thing about it, you be in trouble with the man.

Ah let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,

Oh let the Midnight Special shine its ever lovin' light on me,

Now if you're ever in Houston, oh, you better walk right;

Aw, you better not gamble boy, I say you better not fight, l

Or the sheriff he will grab you and the boys will pull you down.

And then before you know it, you're penitentary bound.

Ah let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, (woooo)

Let the Midnight Special shine its ever lovin' light on me,

Here comes miss Lucy, how in the world did you know?

I can tell by her apron, and by the clothes she wore.

An umbrella on her shoulder, she got a paper in her hand;

She come to see the warden, to try to free her man.

So let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,

Ah let the Midnight Special shine its everlovin' light on me.

I said let the Midnight Special shine a light on me,

Ah let the Midnight Special shine its everlovin' light on me

Johnny Rivers - seventh son

Everybody talkin' 'bout the seventh son

In the whole wide world there is only one

And I'm the one, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the seventh son

I can tell your future, it will come to pass

I can do things to you make your heart feel glad

Look in the sky, predict the rain

Tell when a woman's got another man

I'm the one, oh I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the seventh son

I can talk these words that will sound so sweet

They will even make your little heart skip a beat

Heal the sick, raise the dead

Make the little girls talk outta their heads

I'm the one, oh I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the seventh son

[Lead guitar]

I can talk these words that will sound so sweet

They will even make your little heart skip a beat

Heal the sick, raise the dead

And make the little girls talk outta their heads

I'm the one, oh I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the seventh son

I'm the one, hey, hey

I'm the one

Oh, I'm the one, babe

Oooo, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the seventh son

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the seventh son

Johnny Rivers - Secret Agent Man

There's a man who leads a life of danger

To everyone he meets he stays a stranger

With every move he makes another chance he takes

Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man

They've given you a number and taken away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find

A pretty face can hide an evil mind

Ah, be careful what you say

Or you'll give yourself away

Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man

They've given you a number and taken away your name

[Lead guitar]

Secret agent man, secret agent man

They've given you a number and taken away your name

Swingin' on the Riviera one day

And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day

Oh no, you let the wrong word slip

While kissing persuasive lips

The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man

They've given you a number and taken away your name

Secret agent man

Johnny Rivers - the poor side of town

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

How can you tell me how much you miss me

When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me

That rich guy you've been seein'

Must have put you down

So welcome back baby

To the poor side of town

To him you were nothin' but a little plaything

Not much more than an overnight fling

To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found

And girl it's hard to find nice things

On the poor side of town

I can't blame you for tryin'

I'm tryin' to make it too

I've got one little hang up baby

I just can't make it without you

So tell me, are you gonna stay now

Will you stand by me girl all the way now

With you by my side

They can't keep us down

Together we can make it baby

From the poor side of town

(So tell me how much you love me)

(Come be near to me and say you need me now)

Oh, with you by my side

This world can't keep us down

Together we can make it baby

From the poor side of town

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

Johnny Rivers - The tracks of my tears

People say IÂ’m the life of the party

'Cause I tell a joke or two.

Although I may be laughinÂ’ loud and hearty,

Deep inside IÂ’m blue.

So take a good look at my face.

You see my smile looks out of place.

If you look closer, itÂ’s easy to trace

The tracks of my tears.

I need you, need you

If you see me with another girl,

ActinÂ’ like IÂ’m havinÂ’ fun,

Although she may be cute,

SheÂ’s just a substitute,

Girl, youÂ’re the permanent one.

Ah, take a good look at my face.

You see my smile looks out of place.

Now look closer, itÂ’s easy to trace

The tracks of my tears.

Outside, IÂ’m masqueradinÂ’

Inside, my hope is fadinÂ’.

I'm just a clown since you put me down.

My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you.

Baby, baby, take a good look at my face.

You see my smile looks out of place.

If you look closer, itÂ’s easy to trace

The tracks of my tears.

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face.

You see my smile looks out of place.

Just look closer, itÂ’s easy to trace.

The tracks of my tears.

Baby, baby, baby, take a good look at this face.

My smile looks out of place.

If you look closer, itÂ’s easy to trace

The tracks of my tears.

Johnny Rivers - Swayin' to the music

It's late at night and we're all alone

Just the music on the radio

No one's comin', no one's gonna telephone

Just me and you and the lights down low

And we're

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

Slow dancin', just me and my girl

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

No one else in the whole wide world

Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low

Shadows dancin' all across the wall

Music's playin' so soft and slow

Rest of the world so far away and small

When we're

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

Slow dancin', just me and my girl

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

No one else in the whole wide world

Hold me, Oh, oh, oh, hold me

No never let me go

As we dance together in the dark

So much love in this heart of mine

You whisper to me, hold you tight

You're the one I thought I'd never find

Now we're

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

Slow dancin', just me and my girl

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

No one else in the whole wide world

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

Slow dancin', just me and my girl

Slow dancin', swayin' to the music

No one else in the whole wide world

Whole wide world

Barry Manilow Lyrics

When October Goes Lyrics

And when October goes

The snow begins to fly

Above the smokey roofs

I watch the planes go by

The children running home

Beneath a twilight sky

Oh, for the fun of them

When I was one of them

And when October goes

The same old dream appears

And you are in my arms

To share the happy years

I turn my head away

To hide the helpless tears

Oh how I hate to see October go

And when October goes

The same old dream appears

And you are in my arms

To share the happy years

I turn my head away

To hide the helpless tears

Oh how I hate to see October go

I should be over it now I know

It doesn't matter much

How old I grow

I hate to see October go

Barry Manilow Lyrics

Unchained Melody Lyrics

Oh, my love, my darling

I've hungered for your touch, a long lonely time

And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much

Are you, still mine?

I need your love, I need your love

God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea

To the waiting arms of the sea

Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me

To the open arms, wait for me

My love, my darling, I've hungered for your kiss

Are you still mine?

I need your love, I need your love

God, speed your love, to me

Barry Manilow Lyrics

Copacabana (At The Copa) Lyrics

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there

She would merengue and do the cha-cha

And while she tried to be a star

Tony always tended bar

Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4

They were young and they had each other

Who could ask for more?

[Chorus:]

At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana)

The hottest spot north of Havana (here)

At the copa (CO!) Copacabana

Music and passion were always in fashion

At the copa.... they fell in love

His name was Rico

He wore a diamond

He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there

And when she finished,he called her over

But Rico went a bit to far

Tony sailed across the bar

And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two

There was blood and a single gun shot

But just who shot who?

[Chorus]

At the copa... she lost her love

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,

But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show

Now it's a disco, but not for Lola,

Still in dress she used to wear,

Faded feathers in her hair

She sits there so refined,and drinks herself half-blind

She lost her youth and she lost her Tony

Now she's lost her mind

[Chorus]

At the copa... don't fall in love

Don't fall in love

they should throw him and Michael Bolton on one of those celebrity boxing shows and let them beat the crap out of eachother.

I wouldnt tune in to watch it, mind you.... but it would be cool to hear that they had both been beaten up pretty bad.

ok, I was gonna post this in another thread and then I scroll through here and thats just freaky or coincidental or what....

I had a dream last night and I didnt remember this part of it til I came online and saw an e-mail telling me about BM coming in concert....

some reason I was standing in a room with other people- Barry Manilow was standing behind a table talking with people- I was trying to get a photo - I asked this woman to please move over so I could get the shot and she replied with something about me head over heals for him and I looked at her with a twisted crazy look like are you insane? and exclaimed, "now if it were Neil Diamond I probably woulda already fainted" I think she was insulted-

B.Manilow has some wonderful slow songs - and I know I know all the words - I just don't find him sexy. :neutral:

anyhow, than I come in this thread and you're all talking about him - wierd

You don't like unique noses? :frown: :sheepish: :frown:

clown noses can be funny.

Kid Rock at the Myth?

If I woulda known that! :frown:

I thought it was the typical big venue - excel/target

wow - that place is gonna rock! and to be up in the white VIP room with him afterwards? 3m knows what Im talkin about - wow

http://cgi.ebay.com/Kid-Rock-Myth-in-Minnesota-11-8-Sold-Out_W0QQitemZ260169332984QQihZ016QQcategoryZ16122QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

he can't sell out xcel or target...thats why

I beg to differ

I like when big acts do these small venue shows - especially when I can nab some tickets :smile:

The best small venue show I've been to was back in the late 90s. Green talked me into going to a bar in North St. Paul to hear Lamont Cranston. We went early and had dinner, and we didn't even have to pay a cover charge. For the second set, they announced a guest performer would be joining them - they billed him as "Roseville Slim". He walked out on stage with his guitar and we all went nutz - it was Jonny Lang! We were at not more than fifteen feet from the stage.

I like the smaller venues, and the outdoor concerts, the best.

Vancouver, BC - Commodore Ballroom-

Canada's premiere concert venues and one of the largest rooms in Vancouver with almost a 1000 person capacity.

hmm...impressive...

---

Paramount Theatre is a concert venue in Denver, Colorado, ... The venue has a seating capacity of only 1870

oohhh..

---

Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom -4800

wooohooo 4'x bigger than vancover

---

Myth--about 4000

---

Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle -3500

in redneckville...I'm surprised they didn't sell out the dome.

---

Fillmore at Jackie Gleason Theater -2700

---

Ryman Auditorium -2362

oh ya hot ticket in town..sold out..

---

oh...looky looky...still has tickets...

The Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum is a 14870-seat multi-purpose indoor arena

geez...I wonder why...

I beg to differ your beg to differ!

heck the Roseland capacity is around 1200 and you can still get tickets for that show...hahaha.

1500-capacity venue Showbox SoDo has tickets 2...

geez...I'm right you wrong...

and I like KidROCK...I do...

Ive seen alotta really good shows at Roy Wilkens Auditorium too...

One of my favorite small venue shows, that I've been to, would have been the ICP show that we drove to, out in Milwaukee, back during the Bizzar/Bizarre tour..... it was at The Rave, a.k.a. The Eagles Ballroom

It was about as big as a highschool gym

Yeah, I was hoping you didn't notice that. :smile:

That little trip down memory lane got me to talking with my friend Vicky and we were able to find some info about a dance/concert we went to when we were in about 9th grade.

From this website, which appears to be a wealth of (incomplete) knowledge:

http://www.slphistory.org/history/tcmusic.asp

is this info - and we were there!!!

KDWB and the Aquatennial sponsored "Happening '67" at the Minneapolis Auditorium. It was a "three day psychedelic feast," held on July 19-21. Sheets of brilliant silver mylar and colorful fabrics decorated the auditorium. Performers were Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, the Electric Prunes, and the Shadows of Knight.

Incomplete and not exactly as I remember some of it. I was at the Beatle's concert at the Met. There were no fans that rushed the field.

I remember the Jimi Hendrix concert. That was one of the best.

Danny's Reasons, mentioned several times in that piece, was one of the local favorite bands. Danny Stevens - the lead singer - lived over in Minneapolis. We used to make fun on how his hair was always so perfect. So one windy Sunday afternoon, a friend and I headed over to Minneapolis to see if we could catch him coming or going. Sure enough..and though the wind was wicked that day, not a hair on his head moved. LOL!!

We also spent a great deal of time going wherever the Underbeats were playing. I had a major crush on the lead singer, Rico Rosenbaum.

And then there was TC Atlantic. They actually recorded a full album. I used to have that, but not any longer. Not sure what happened to that.

Some of these bands would play high school dances and car dealerships. I never could figure out what a car dealership wanted with a bunch of teenage girls hanging out in their dealership. None of us had any money. We barely had bus fare.

Then there was the summer we spent at the Teen Fair during almost the whole State Fair. The Grassroots played as well as all the local bands during the time of the fair. We had all the schedules down and knew just when we had to be out there and at what stage.

The Battle of the Bands things were always fun.

We also went to see the Monkees - mostly because we thought it would be fun and we scraped up ticket money.

Paul Revere and the Raiders played for some event out at Calhoun at one point. We had enough money for bus fare over there, but only enough left to take the bus home again once we passed over the bridge on Marshall so we didn't have to pay a double fair. We had dressed "cute" instead of smart considering the walk. We had blisters all over our feet by the time we crawled onto the bus in St. Paul.

Those are some great memories.
