About A Girl
I need an easy friend
I do with an ear to lend [Preste atención]
I don't think you fit this shoe [Pisar este zapato]
I do won't you have a clue [Clave, "tener idea de"]
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I do
I'm standing in your line [Esperar en la fila]
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too [Turno]
I do keep a date with you
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free

But I can't see you every night
No, I can't see you every night
Free
I do ... [x4]
Come As You Are
Come as you are, as you were, [Estabas]
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria [Descanso]
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach [rociado, salpicado] [mojado, empapado]
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria [tendencia]
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
Memoria

Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me [peguntar, cuestionar]
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect you to die for me [Mi corrección]

The Man Who Sold The World
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there [Aunque]
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise [Cual, {Lo cual vino como}]
I spoke into his eyes [directo a]
I thought you died alone [Pensé]
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand [Apretón]
And made my way back home [camino regreso a casa]
I searched for form and land [Alt: I searched for foreign land] [tierra extranjera]
For years and years I roamed [vagué]
I gazed a gazeless stare [miré] [sin mirada] [fija]
At all the millions here [millones de personas]
[Alt 1: We walked a million years]
[Alt 2: With multimillionaires]
[Alt 3: We walked a million hills]
I must have died alone [debí haber]
A long, long time ago
Who knows? [quién sabe]
Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Pennyroyal Tea
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea [poleo]
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty. [realeza]
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld [más allá]
So I can sigh eternally [suspiro]
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a liar and a thief [ladrón]
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Dumb
I'm not like them but I can pretend
The sun is gone and I have a light
The day is done and I'm having fun [diversión]
I think I'm dumb [tonto]
Maybe just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
My heart is broke and I have some glue
Help me inhale and mend it with you [arreglar]
We'll float around, hang out on clouds [pasar el rato]
Then we'll come down [después] [bajaremos, dar el bajón]
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Skin the sun, fall asleep [piel soleada]
Wish away, soul is cheap [deseos lejanos]
Lesson learned, wish me luck
Soothe the burn, wake me up. [calma] [quemadura]
I'm not like them but I can pretend
The sun is gone and I have a light
The day is done and I'm havin' fun
I think I'm dumb
Maybe just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
Polly (New Wave)
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off of her first [soltar, salir]
Maybe she wants some water
To put out the blow torch [apagar] [explotar; blow torch: soplete]
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip [despuntar]
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself [complacer]
I've got some rope [tengo] [cuerda]
You have been told [has estado]
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her [pedir] [desatar]
A chase would be nice for a few [caza, cacería]
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself [Alt: To help myself]
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts [trasero]
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard [atrapó] [guardia apagada]
It amazes me, the will of instinct [sorprende] [voluntad]
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope 😵
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself

On A Plain
I'll start this off without any words [No comprendo uso]
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled [puse] [arañar] [hasta] [sangrar]
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do? [equivocado]
The finest day that I've ever had [mejor]
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain [llanura]
I can't complain [quejar]
I'm on a plain
My mother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that [citar]
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again [chantajeado]
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before [en algún lugar]
In a dream my memory has stored [almacenado]
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed [castrado] [esterilizado]
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time to make it unclear [poco claro, no claro, turbio]
To write off lines that don't make sense [cancelar, eliminar] [sentido]
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
And one more special message to go
And then I'm done, then I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
Something In The Way
Underneath the bridge [debajo]
The tarp has sprung a leak [lona] [saltando] [gotera] [ha surgido una gotera]
And the animals I've trapped [entrampado]
Have all become my pets [convertido]
And I'm living off of grass [vivir fuera]
And the drippings from the ceiling [goteos] [techo]
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Plateau
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau [meseta: montaña parece mesa]
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know [pertenecen]
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand [santos] [anfitriones] [plantan]
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands [embellecer] [estribación]
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop [cubo, cubo de agua] [fregona]
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared [asustado]
Who needs action when you got words [tienes, obtienes]
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun
There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau [comienza]
Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood [ningún lado] [donde] [estaba]
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could [esas] [conjeturas] [no podría] [pudiera]
Oh, Me
If I had to lose a mile [tuviera que]
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul [tal vez]
The way I do [la manera]
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news [esas son]
Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion [salpicado]
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see [entera] [expansión]
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me [profundamente almacenado]
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
[x2]
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me
Lake Of Fire
Where do bad folks go , when they die? [Dónde]
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry [se fríen]
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July [hasta]
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth [mordida] [diente]
She went to her grave just a little too soon [tumba] [un poco] [apresurada]
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon [voló] [lejos] [aullando]
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
Now the people cry and the people moan [gemia]
And they look for a dry place to call their home [seco]
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make them their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
All Apologies
What else should I be? All apologies [qué más]
What else could I say? Everyone is gay
What else could I write? I don't have the right [derecho a]
What else should I be? All apologies
In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun
Married, buried [enterrado]
I wish I was like you, easily amused [divertida]
Find my nest of salt, everything is my fault [nido] [culpa]
I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame [culpa] [igual] [espuma marina] [vergüenza]
Sunburn, freezerburn, choking on the ashes of her enemy [quemadura de sol] [quemadura de frío] [cocinando] [cenizas]
In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun
Married, married
Married, buried
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
All in all is all we are [después de todo, al fin y al cabo]
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines [pinos]
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through [tiritando, temblando] [toda] [a través {es auxiliar}]
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows [sopla]
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here [a penas]
His head was found in a driving wheel [rueda motriz; volante] [wheel: rueda]
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
