Katy Perry - The One That Got Away Lyrics
The One That Got Away Lyrics

Summer after high school when we first met

We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th Birthday

We got matching tattoos



Used to steal your parents' liquor

And climb to the roof

Talk about our future

Like we had a clue

Never planned that one day

I'd be losing you



In another life

I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world



In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away



I was June and you were my Johnny Cash

Never one without the other we made a pact

Sometimes when I miss you

I put those records on



Someone said you had your tattoo removed

Saw you downtown singing the Blues

It's time to face the music

I'm no longer your muse



But in another life

I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world



In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]

The one that got away



[Bridge:]

All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)

It can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)

I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Woooooow)

'Cause now I paid the price



In another life

I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world



In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]



In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

Summer Is Over by Jon Mclaughlin

Genre/Lang. : Pop
(Feat. Sara Bareilles)


autumn never seemed this cold before
here I am sleeping on the floor
we changed just like the leaves
outside my house
and my phone lay silent by the couch

I remember June
back when I met you
and your eyes were green
and we were, too

but summer is over
we were tangled in the morning sun
felt you getting colder
and we knew that we would come undone
and it's back to my town, back to your life
gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers
'cause summer is over

I can still see your silhouette
in the white hot sand
still feel my ring on your hand
the clock was always ticking down
behind that glass
singing "love, be good while you last"

but we both knew
what we were getting into
the things we said
sounded true

but summer is over
we were tangled in the morning sun
felt you getting colder
and we knew that we would come undone
and it's back to my town, back to your life
gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers
'cause summer is over

the distant innocence
we are leaving far behind
your last words will be burning in my mind
in the winter time

well summer is over
we were tangled in the morning sun
felt you getting colder
i knew that we would come undone
and it's back to my town, back to your life
gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye, goodbye

summer is over
we were tangled in the morning sun
felt you getting colder
and we knew that we would come undone
and it's back to my town, back to your life
gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers
'cause summer is over

MAMÁ: E.P. (1980) + EL ÚLTIMO BAR (1981) + MAMÁ (1982) + NADA MÁS-LIVE (1997) + EL SHOW EMPIEZA-LAS MAQUETAS (2000)

Greeted as the band with the Pop more near to the sound of the Spanish bands of the 60s, they played the most current sounds that were devastating the british scene in the 80's, the new wave and the power pop.
Their first E.P., produced by Carlos Narea, who let the band to work to their air, it's one of the best vinyls of the Spanish New Wave. Four songs of simple, fresh, enterteining pop, without pretensions, two of them any more power pop and energetic, and other two more acoustics, between that the above mentioned stand out "Nada Más", and "Ya No Volverás", two half times tremendously sticky of dislike, both composed by Jose Maria Granados.
Their first album "El Último Bar" begins with very costellian "El Show Empieza", the ideal song to begin a concert. The influence of illustrate newwavers as the own Costello or Any Trouble makes be obvious also in songs as "Chica Cruel" or "Ligarse A Vicky", and the power pop more dancer of "El Figurín" with a pace that can remember to bands as the Doctor Feelgood sweetened and passed to the area of the pop.
Chapter separete deserve "Escóndete", the purest Power Pop. One of the best all times spanish songs, who resembles those jewels hidden in singles of English and lost Americans bands, so typical of that age.
"El Último Bar" is as they themselves recognize: a tribute to The Records and their "Starry Eyes".
Also there's occasion to raise the foot of the accelerator, a time for 60's ballads, with letters of dislike or teen disenchantment, as "El Número equivocado" and "Buscándote A Ti".
A great album.
After the first excellent long play of the band, the Selftitled album is one of the most disappointing discs that we have had the opportunity to listen to a Spanish band. The songs already are not, in general, at the level of the previous ones but the company commits the most serious mistake on having entrusted the production of the album to Luis Cobos, who demonstrates that he was out to the New Wave sound of Mamá, beside not understanding ever the needs of the sound of a group of these characteristics.
A disaster of production.
Taken from lafonoteca.net, reviewed by Rafa García-Purriños.

"Nada Más" was recorded live in 1997 and contains all their greatest hits.
"El Show Empieza" is a very good collection of demos of their best songs.

THE SWEAT - 2007 - NO MORE RUNNING [Expanded Edition]

They came from Belfast (North Ireland). Originally founded in 1978 as No Sweat, they were sued by Pete Townsends Eel Pie Records, which had a band of the same name. They changed their name to THE SWEAT and had several hits in the early Eighties.

The album contains one of my all times favorite songs "Why'd Ya Have To Lie", which could be put together with songs like Back Of My Hand (The Jags), Let's Go (Dirty Looks), What I Like About You (The Romantics), Don't Wait Up (The Beat) or Starry Eyes (The Records)

Lineup:

Clive Culbertson: vocals,bass,guitar / Michael Katin: guitar / David Stuart: keyboards /Ricky Bleakley: drums

Here I leave a video of his live performance in Tokyo in November 2007, the sound carries the original version of "Why'd Ya Have To Lie" and only at the end of the song the voice sounds live. It's clear that the years do not go in vain and our bodies are no longer as in the early 80's.



Tracklisting:

1. Isn't Anything Sacred (2:23) / 2. Here Comes Another Lonely Night (3:11) / 3. No More Running (2:23) / 4. You Gotta Lotta Nerve (2:30) / 5. I Can Hardly Wait (3:41) / 6. Can't Help Myself (3:16) / 7. I Must Be Crazy (2:50) / 8. Please Don't Say You Love Me (2:44) / 9. We All Make Mistakes (3:17) / 10. Why'd You Have To Lie (2:55) / 11. Do You Wanna Break My Heart (2:08) / 12. How Much Longer (2:58)

THE BONGOS - 1982 - DRUMS ALONG THE HUDSON

The Bongos recorded their early singles and their well-received debut EP for UK-based Fetish Records. Their debut U.S. album, Drums Along The Hudson, compiled from the band's British singles, was released in 1982 to mostly favorable reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. While Trouser Press suggested that the group "may trade a certain amount of substance for easy appeal," it added that "there's no better musical equivalent of whipped cream anywhere."
Writing in the Village Voice, Robert Christgau dryly commented that "for all their jumpy originality [the songs are] still slight, and Richard Barone's lyrics are so oblique you have to wonder what his angle is.
In 2007 however, Jim DeRegotis wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times: "The initial impression of naivete is offset by deceptively simple lyrics that actually hint at deep, dark mysteries and unfathomed mystical enigmas."
The group's cover of T. Rex's "Mambo Sun" reached #72 on the Billboard Dance Chart.

Hudson tracks:

In the Congo / Bulrushes / Clay Midgets / Video Eyes / Glow in the Dark / Telephoto Lens / Certain Harbours / Speaking Sands / Burning Bush / Automatic Doors / Hunting / Zebra Club / Three Wise Men / Mambo Sun / Question Ball
