Laundry Service

- 01 Objection -

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead, so

[Chorus:] Objection I don't want to be the exception To get a bit of your attention I love you for free, And I'm not your mother But you don't even bother Objection I'm tired of this triangle Got dizzy dancing tango I'm falling apart in your hands again No way I've got to get away
Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible But you've got to know small things also count Better put your feet on the ground And see what it's about, so
[Chorus (with a slight change)] - The angles of this triangle -
I wish there was a chance for You and me I wish you couldn't find a place to be away from me
This is pathetic And sardonic And sadistic And psychotic Tango is not for three Was never meant to be But you can try it Rehearse it Or train like a horse But don't you count on me Don't you count on me boy
[Chorus]

Laundry Service

- 02 Underneath Your Clothes –

You're a song
Written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong cause
This might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts go hiding
And right under your clothes
Is where I find them

Underneath Your Clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey
Because of you I forgot the smart ways to lie Because of you I'm running out of reasons to cry When the friends are gone When the party's over We will still belong to each other
Underneath Your Clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey
I love you more than all that's on the planet Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing You know it's true Oh baby it's so funny You almost don't believe it As every voice is hanging from the silence Lamps are hanging from the ceiling Like a lady tied to her manners I'm tied up to this feeling
Underneath Your Clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey

- 03 Whenever, Wherever -

Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Luck that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existance

Baby I would climb the Andes solely To count the freckles on your body Never could imagine there were only Ten Million ways to love somebody
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le Can't you see I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder You'll never have to wonder We can always play by ear But that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble They spill kisses like a fountain Lucky that my breasts are small and humble So you don't confuse them with mountains Lucky I have strong legs like my mother To run for cover when I need it And these two eyes that for no other The day you leave will cry a river
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le Can't you see I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder You'll never have to wonder We can always play by ear But that's the deal my dear
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le Think out loud Say it again
Le do le le le le Tell me one more time That you'll live Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder You've got me head over heals There's nothing left to fear If you really feel the way I feel

Laundry Service

- 04 Rules -

You have to swear
You've got love to love me
That will last forever
We must have a story
With a happy ending
So don’t ever go away
And never put aside
The things I'm gonna say
Cuz these are rules for us

[Chorus:] Use your eyes only to look at me Use your mouth only to kiss my lips We are branches of the same old tree You can laugh only if you laugh at me You can cry only if you cry for me Don't forget that you're condemned to me Can't you see You always were You'll always be
You used to say I should see a doctor Who would keep me busy Cuz a jealous woman Never makes it easy And you know I'll defrost Whatever seems right But it may take a while Before I change the rules
[Chorus (2X)]

Laundry Service

- 05 The One -

So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone on Friday nights
To take me dancing again
To church on Sundays
To plant more trees
And someday think of kids
Or maybe just save a little money

[Chorus:] You're the one I need The way back home is always long But if you're close to me I'm holding on You're the one I need My real life has just begun Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun
In the world full of strangers You're the one I know
So I learned to cook and finally lose My kitchen phobia And so I got the arms to cuddle in When there's a ghost or a news That brings insomnia To buy more thongs To write more happy songs It always takes a little help from someone
[Chorus 2X]
You're the one I need You're the one I need With you my real life has just begun You're the one I need Nothing like your smile made of sun Nothing like your love Nothing like your love Nothing like your love

- 06 I'm ready for the goodtimes -

I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
Time will bring them back I bet
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
Don't make me feel ashamed
I used to sing the saddest songs
And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my door
Falling back down to the floor
I used to read survival guides
When my world was full of seven legged cats
But here a I am with eight more lives

I'm ready for the goodtimes I'm ready for the goodtimes Ready to get it on i'm ready for the goodtimes I'm ready for the goodtimes Now that I'm not alone
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh You know it Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh You better not Ignore it
I don't wanna look at fashion magazines While someone does my nails Sitting here watching other people live Frozen by the fear to fail Cause, everyday there's a war to fight And if I win or lose never mind As long as you're my shelter every night I used to cry against a wall But now i've got a shoulder That I can lean on Swear to me you won't be gone
I'm ready for the goodtimes I'm ready for the goodtimes Ready to get it on I'm ready for the goodtimes I'm ready for the goodtimes Now that I'm not alone
[Instrumental]

- 07 Fool -

Tell me lies slap me on the face
just improvise, do something
really clever that'll make me hate your name forever

You might swear you'd never touch a lady well, let me say you're not too far from maybe every day you find new ways to hurt me
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool always having my heart set on you 'til the time you start changing the rules I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Fool
Got resigned from hearing my own story every night I'm paying hell for glory I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry
All this pain begins to feel like pleasure with more tears you'd make a sea of desert salt my wounds and i'll keep saying thank you
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool always having my heart set on you 'til the time you start changing the rules I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Fool
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool always having my heart set on you 'til the time you start changing the rules I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Fool, I can't help it baby Fool, I can't help it baby Fool, I can't help it baby Fool, I can't help it baby
Fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool

- 08 Te dejo Madrid -

uh...  ah ah

del mundo el dolor bajo la piel

yo se que estare bien los gatos como yo caen de pie

- 09 Poem to a horse -

You're to far to bring you close
And too high to see below
just hangin' on your daily dose
I know you never needed anyone
But the rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don't have?

You keep on aiming for the top And quit before you sweat a drop Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot You start out playing with yourself You get more fun within your shell Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way
[Chorus:] I leave again Cuz I've been waiting in vain But you're so in love with yourself If I say my heart is sore Sounds like a cheap metaphor So I won't repeat it no more
I'd rather eat my soup with a fork Or drive a cab to New York Cuz to talk to you is harder work So what's the point of wasting all my words If it's just the same or even worse Than reading poems to a horse
You keep on aiming for the top And quit before you sweat a drop Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot I bet you'll find someone like you Cuz there's a foot for every shoe I wish you luck but I've got other things to do

- 10 Que me quedes tu –

Que se arruinen los canales de noticias
Con lo mucho que odio la television
Que se vuelvan anticuadas las sonrisas
Y se extingan todas las puestas de sol
Que se supriman las doctrinas y deberes
Que se terminen las peliculas de accion
Que se destruyan en el mundo los placeres
Y que se escriba hoy una ultima cancion

Pero que me quedes tu Y me quede tu abrazo Y el beso que inventas cada dia Y que me quede aqui Despues del ocaso Para siempre tu melancolia Porque yoooo, yoo si, si Que dependo de ti Y si me quedas tu Me queda la vida
Que desaparezcan todos los vecinos Y se coman las sobras de mi inocencia Que se vayan uno a uno los amigos Y acribillen mi pedazo de conciencia Que se consuman las palabras en los labios Que contaminen todo el agua del planeta O que renuncien los filantropos y sabios Y que se muera hoy hasta el ultimo poeta
Pero que me quedes tu Y me quede tu abrazo Y el beso que inventas cada dia Y que me quede aqui Despues del ocaso Para siempre tu melancolia Porque yoooo, yoo si, si Que dependo de ti Y si me quedas tu Me queda la vida...

- 11 Eyes like yours -

Oh, you know I have seen
A sky without sun
A man with no nation
Saints, captive in chains
A song with no name
For lack of imagination
Ya he...
And I have seen
Darker than ebony

Ya he Ya he Ya la he
And now it seems, that I Without your eyes could never be
My one desire, all I aspire Is in your eyes forever to live Traveled all over; the seven oceans There is nothing that I wouldn't give Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours
Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours
Oh, You know I have seen A woman of means In rags and begging for pleasure Crossed a river of salt Just after I rode A ship that's sunk in the desert
Ya he Ya he Ya la he
And I have seen Darker than ebony
Ya he Ya he Ya la he
And now it seems, that I Without your eyes could never be
My one desire, all I aspire Is in your eyes forever to live Traveled all over; the seven oceans There is nothing that I wouldn't give Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours
Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours
rabboussamai fikarrajaii fi ainaiha aralhayati ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni arjouka labbi labbi nidai
Came from Bahrein, got to Beruit Looking for someone comparing to you Tearing down windows and doors And I could not find eyes like yours

- 12 Suerte –

Suerte que en el sur hayas nacido
y que burlemos las distancias
suerte que es haberte conocido
y por ti amar tierras extrañas
Yo puedo escalar los Andes solo
por ir a contar tus lunares
contigo celebro y sufro todo
mis alegrias y mis males

Le ro lo le lo le le ro lo le lo le Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Contigo, mi vida quiero vivir la vida y lo que me queda de vida quiero vivir contigo Contigo mi vida quiero vivir la vida y lo que me queda de vida quiero vivir contigo
Suerte que es tener labios sinceros para besarte con mas ganas Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños y nos los confundas con montañas Suerte que herede las piernas firmes para correr si un dia hace falta Y estos dos ojos que me dicen Que he de llorar cuando te vallas
Le ro lo le lo le Le ro lo le lo le Sabes que estoy a tus pies
[Chorus]
Le ro lo le lo le le ro lo le lo le Sabes que estoy a tus pies
Le ro lo le lo le lo la La felicidad tiene tu nombre y tu piel
[Chorus 2:] Contigo, mi vida quiereo vivir la vida y lo que me queda de vida quiero vivir contigo Ya sabes mi vida estoy hasta el cuello por ti Si sientes algo asi Quiero que te quedes junto a mi.
[Repeat Chorus 2]
