HISTORIA

Formados en Manchester (Inglaterra) en 1975. Fueron una de las bandas más influyentes surgidas de la ola inicial de punk rock. Los Buzzcocks se inspiraron en la energía de los Sex Pistols pero sin su compromiso político. Pete Shelley (guitarrista, voz y letrista) y Howard Devoto eran seguidores de The Velvet Underground  y The Stooges. Steve Diggle se unió al grupo como bajista. Telonearon a los Sex Pistols en 1976. Debutaron con el single orgasm addict  en 1977. Ese año Garth Smith fue sustituido por Steve Garvey. En 1977 grabaron su primer álbum Another music in a different kitchen. Se separaron en 1981 y volvieron a reunirse en 1989.

ACORDES Y LETRAS

Raison D'etre

You're an awful lot of fun
Forever on the run
You're my number one
But if you're not late
Then I guess you never come

You're always on my side boy
When it comes to playing games of who are we
We never find out why though
That our own raison d'etre we can't see

You're an awful lot of fun
Forever on the run
You're my number one
But if you're not late
Then I guess you never come

I said blue eyes would suit you
Yes they do oh I knew I would be right
But watch your friends don't get you
'Cos if they do I won't be seeing you tonight

 

 

Razón de otro

Eres una diversión horrible
Siempre de prisa y corriendo 
Eres mi número uno, 
pero si no llegas tarde 
Entonces adivino que no vendrás

Estás siempre de mi lado, muchacho
Cuando viene a jugar juegos de quien somos nosotros
aunque nunca averiguamos por qué 
no podemos ver nuestra propia razón de otro

Dije que los ojos azules te satisfarían
 Sí, ellos lo hacen, oh yo sabía que tendría razón, 
pero mira, tus amigos no te alcanzan' 
porque si lo hacen no te veré esta noche

What is inside me
Is caged here beside me
Life is a zoo
I'm labelled him
And it's labelled you
Life is a zoo
Life's a zoo

You are a stranger
But I'm even stranger
What can I do
Life's getting stranger
Strangers are stranger
What can we do
Life's a zoo

I am a stranger
And you're even stranger
What can you do
Life's getting stranger
A stranger's a stranger
What can we do
Life's a zoo
Dinero

Que hay dentro de mí 
Está enjaulado aquí a mi lado
la Vida es un zoo
Estoy etiquetado a él
y está etiquetado a ti
la Vida es un zoo

Eres un forastero 
Pero soy aún el forastero
Que puedo hacer
la vida se está volviendo extraña
Los forasteros son extraños
La Vida es un zoo

Do It

E-D (BIS) E-C-B

E-D (BIS)

Here again playing the lonely game
Blind as a fool who won't see
Suddenly taking control again
What could be happening to me
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
My source of inspiration
You don't get far when you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

Hestitate is there no end to it
So tired of living a lie
Time won't wait too late to start again
Wander while wondering why
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
Perverse sophistication
You won't get far if you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

[SOLO]

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
My source of inspiration
You don't get far if you're going nowhere

It's not infatuation
To hope that you're the one to care
My final consolation
You won't get far you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees
I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
I can do it,do it,do it,do it

 
 

Never Gonna Give It Up

Hey there you with your head in the sand
I'm try'n'a tell you something you'll understand
I wanna spend my time in a passionate way
These feelings keep on growing inside me day by day

The things you do make me so hot
I'd give you everything I've got to give
Let's cut in two the Gordian Knot
Release a power much greater than this foolish pride

Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up

Hey there you with your head in a cloud
Don't let nobody tell you're not allowed
You'd have no hesitation if only you knew
The sweetness of sensations in store for you

The things you do make me so hot
I'd give you everything I've got to give
Let's cut in two the Gordian Knot
Release a power much greater than this foolish pride

Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up

[SOLO]

The things you do make me so hot
I'd give you everything I've got to give
Let's cut in two the Gordian Knot
Unleash a power much greater than this foolish pride

Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
I'm never ever gonna give it up

 

 

Smile

If I never ever ever get to see you again
Remember it was you that made me smile
You satisfy the need you created
Not for the first time could be for real

And in times of desperation when I needed a friend
Remember it was you that made it all worthwhile
I sometimes try to fake hesitation
Not for the first time I've started to feel

Straight straight through my heart those arrows fly
Straight straight through my heart and that's no lie

I don't want to play the innocent you know me too well
You still keep me wondering but I don't know why
You satisfy the need you created
And for the first time I feel so real

Straight straight through my heart those arrows fly
Straight straight through my heart and that's no lie
Wait wait for me please don't pass me by
If this world's without you I'd surely die
I'm in the middle of a love without an end
Reality too easy to comprehend

[SOLO]

Straight straight through my heart those arrows fly
Straight straight through my heart and that's no lie
Wait wait for me please don't pass me by
If this world's without you I'd surely die
I'm in the middle of a love without an end
Reality too easy to comprehend

Kono yono nani yori ichiban daisuki yo
Remember it was you that made me smile

Innocent

I thought you were so innocent
Until I got my fingers burnt
You think me strange and quite peculiar
Let the first appearance fool ya
Even though you're not my mum
I've got to get my washing done
Who calls the tune must pay the piper
Fix the plug and catch the spider

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true

I love someone who looks like you
The way you do but isn't you
It's still the same sad sordid story
Suffering sinner slave to glory
Now you say you want someone new
I knew you do you left a clue
The vows of love that you've recanted
Say you're taking me for granted

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true

Innocent Innocent

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you						
Something emanated from your eyes						
My dream came true

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true

Something hesitated in your eyes
When I found you
Something emanated from the sky
My dream came true

 

 

I Believe

In these times of contention it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past

I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe in I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in

When I poison my system I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colours that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going if to end or begin

I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I've fallen from favour while trying to savour experience
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line

I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
I believe in my Mum and my Dad
And I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling I just want them to last

I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe in I'm going to be late
So I'll be leavin'
What I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

 

 

 

Your Love

Whenever I feel like this
I notice that you are near to me
I struggle but can't resist
I can't fight my destiny
I put my world in your hands
Casting caution to the wind
I hope that you'll understand
Cause here I go again

Your love 
So warm inside me 
Your love 
Please don't deny me
Your love

You say it's a passing phase
And that it might not last
I guess that I can't complain
If the good times are gone too fast

Your love 
So warm inside me 
Your love 
Please don't deny me
Your love's as precious as the desert rain
Your love
Your love makes the whole world seem right again

You say it's a passing phase
And that it might not last
But when my life is through
The thought of you will be my last

Your love 
So warm inside me 
Your love 
Please don't deny me
Your love

 

 

Why Can't I Touch It?                 

Notas: Sol   /  Re – Do / Sol

Well it seems so real I can see it
And it seems so real I can feel it
And it seems so real I can taste it
And it seems so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?
Then it looks so real I can see it
And it feels so real I can feel it
And it tastes so real I can taste it
And it sounds so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?
Then it looks so real I can feel it
And it feels so real I can taste it
And it tastes so real I can hear it
And it sounds so real I can see it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?
Now it is so real I can see it
And it is so real I can feel it
And it is so real I can hear it
And it is so real I can be it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?
