A letra:

I have no answer for you, little lamb
I can help you out
But I cannot help you in

Sometimes you think that life is hard
And this is only one of them
My heart is breaking for you, little lamb
I can help you out
But we may never meet again

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Dragonfly, fly by my window
You and I still have a way to go
Don't know why you hang around my door
I dont live here any more

Since you've gone (since you've gone)
I never know
I go on (I go on)
But I miss you so

Dragonfly, don't keep me waiting
(I'm waiting, can't you see me, I'm waiting)
When we try
We'll have a way to go

Dragonfly, you've been away too long
How did two rights make a wrong?
Since you've gone (since you've gone)
I never know (I never know)
I go on (I go on)
But I miss you so (I miss you so)
In my heart (in my heart)
I feel the pain (I feel the pain)
Keeps coming back again

Dragonfly, fly by my window
(I'm flying, can't you see me, I'm flying)
You and I (you and I)
Can find a way to see (see-eeh)

Dragonfly, the years ahead will show
How little we really know
Since you've gone (since you've gone)
It's never right (it's never right)
They go on (they go on)
The lonely nights (those lonely nights)
Come on home (come on home)
And make it right (make it right)

My heart is aching for you, little lamb
I can help you out
But I cannot help you in

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Come on, babe

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Come on babe

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Come on babe

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

1348 – Eagles – Certain kind of fool (1973)

Escrita por Randy Meisner, Don Henley e Glenn Frey, foi gravada em 1973 e lançada em 17 de abril de 1973 no disco Desperado. Fala da história de um menino pobre que queria ser famoso através da sua arte, mas acabou ficando famoso sendo um bandido procurado.

A letra:

He was a poor boy, raised in a small family
He kinda had a cravin' for somethin' no one else could see
They say that he was crazy
The kind that no lady should meet

He ran out to the city and wandered around in the street
He wants to dance, oh yeah
He wants to sing, oh yeah
He wants to see the lights a flashin' and listen

To the thundering

He saw it in a window
The mark of a new kind of man
He kinda liked the feeling, so shiny and smooth in his hand
He took it to the country and practiced for days without rest

And then one day he felt it

He knew he could stand with the best
They got respect, oh yeah
He wants the same, oh yeah
And it's a certain kind of fool that
Likes to hear the sound of his own name

Oo...

A poster on a storefront, the picture of a wanted man
He had a reputation spreading like fire through the land
It wasn't for the money, at least it didn't start that way
It wasn't for the runnin', but now he's runnin' every day.

A letra:

It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oh

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh

Talk talk, talk, talk
Hey, I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us,
But I know that I love you so
Oh, but I know
That I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind, they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch
We all must hold

This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen, oh
He should know, he's been there enough
Oh I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh

Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Oh Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?

Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son
The highway is my legacy
On the highway I will run
In one hand I've a Bible

In the other I've got a gun
Well, don' you know me
I'm the man who won

Woman don't try to love me

Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day
All of my friends are strangers
They quickly come and go

And all my love's in danger
'Cause I steal hearts and souls

Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand a life upon
The road is the life of an outlaw man
Ooh

Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

Some men call me Abel
Some men call me Cain,
Some men call me sinner, Lord
Some men call me saint

Some say there's a Jesus
Some men say there ain't
When you got no life to lose
Then there's nothin' left to gain
Outlaw man
Outlaw man

1339 – Bruce Springsteen – Incident on 57th street (1973)

 

Escrita por Bruce Sringsteen, foi gravada em 1973 no 914 Sound Studios em Blauvelt, em New York e lançada em 11 de setembro de 1973 no disco The wild, the innocent & the E street shuffle. O tema é redenção, um tema que ele viria a voltar várias vezes. A historia se passa em New York City e conta a história de um Spanish Johnny e uma Perto Rico Jane. É como se fosse uma West Side Story com Romeu e Julieta, com personagens latinos em NYC. Johnny é chamado de um cool Romeo e Jane de Late Juliet. Johnny vai pra Midtown Manhattan depois de levar uma surra ao tentar trabalhar como um prostituto. Apesar de ser rejeitado por todos, Jane dá colo a ele, dizendo Johnny não chore. Eles dormem juntos mas quando seus velhos amigos o chamam pra um programa, ele a deixa. Ela concorda mas pede que ele volte. Ele diz que sim mas não sabe se será capaz. O cantor não diz qual o fim, deixando a cargo do ouvinte decidir. David Sancious toca piano e Bruce canta e toca guitarra. Vini Lopez toca bateria. Danny Federici tocou orgao. Gary Tallent tocou baixo.

A letra:

Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night
With bruised arms and broken rhythm and a beat-up old Buick but dressed just like dynamite
He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls over on easy Street
But they said, Johnny, it falls apart so easy, and you know hearts these days are cheap

And the pimps swung their axes and said, Johnny, you're a cheater
And the pimps swung their axes and said, Johnny, you're a liar
And from out of the shadows came a young girl's voice
Said, Johnny, don't cry

Puerto Rican Jane, oh, won't you tell me, what's your name?
I want to drive you down to the other side of town
Where paradise ain't so crowded and there'll be action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight
All the golden-heeled fairies in a real bitch-fight
Pull thirty-eight's and kiss their girls goodnight

Oh, goodnight, it's alright, Jane
Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame
We may find it out on the street tonight, baby
Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe

Well, like a cool Romeo he made his moves, oh, she looked so fine
Like a late Juliet, she knew she'd never be true but then, she didn't really mind
Upstairs a band was playin' and the singer was singin' something about going home
She whispered, Spanish Johnny, you can leave me tonight, but just don't leave me alone

And Johnny cried, Puerto Rican Jane, word is down, the cops have found the vein
Oh, them barefoot boys left their homes for the woods
Them little barefoot street boys, they said their homes ain't no good
They left the corners, threw away all of their switchblade knives
And kissed each other goodbye

Johnny was sittin' on the fire escape, watchin' the kids playin' down the street
He called down, hey little heroes, summer's long, but I guess it ain't very sweet around here anymore
Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat
Johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on, dream on

And the sister prays for lost souls, then breaks down in the chapel after everyone's gone

Jane moves over to share her pillow but opens her eyes to see Johnny up and putting his clothes on
She says, those romantic young boys (those romantic young boys), all they ever want to do is fight
Those romantic young boys (those romantic young boys), they're callin' through the window
Hey, Spanish Johnny, you want to make a little easy money tonight?

And Johnny whispered, goodnight, it's all tight, Jane
I'll meet you tomorrow night on lover's lane
We may find it out on the street tonight, now, baby
Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe

Oh, goodnight, it's alright, Jane
I'm gonna meet you tomorrow night on lover's lane
Oh, we can find it out on the street tonight, baby
Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe

Ah, goodnight, it's alright, Jane
I'll meet you tomorrow night on lover's lane
Oh, we may find it out on the street tonight, baby
Or we may have to walk until the daylight, maybe (goodnight it's alright, Jane)
