Wyclef Jean – To All the Girls

Spoiler

Yo, Wyclef, It’s time that I confess (Refugee Camp) to all the girls
(Don’t do it, don’t do it)
[singing] To all the girls I loved before
[rapping] To all the girls I cheated on before
[singing] To all the girls I loved before

To all the girls I cheated on before, I tip my hat like Willie Nelson
You got pressure, take a sip of this Molson
Here’s what happened, it wasn’t my intentions
To fall into seduction while playing a temptation
I thought I had it figured out, but games don’t last
The hourglass ran out, I got sprayed with the tear gas
Big men don’t cry, hold my feelings inside
Stress brings me ?, I gotta hold my pride
When I see you with another guy, jealous thoughts of homicide
Call me selfish when I say Abraham has many wives
You say this is the 90’s, either it’s gonna be me or her
I found myself in a blur
Lookin’ into the clouds thinkin’ out loud
«I’m in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?»

To all the girls I cheated on before, it’s a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive but never forget, so the past reappears, uh huh
To all the girls I cheated on before, it’s a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive, but you still think that I’m a ho

Second verse is gonna hurt, based on a true life story
I got married at 24 in New Jersey
You know the feelings start nature take it’s course
Two years later ‘Clef gets a divorce
When I had the cold feet, I shouldn’t’ve walked the altar
With Dionne Warwick, she could predict my future
Went with my feelings even though it wasn’t right
Creepin’ with my secret lover in the middle of the night
Back home, break of dawn, dinner’s at the table
Thin Line Between Love And Hate is on cable
I’m lookin’ at myself thinkin’ out loud
«I’m in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?»

To all the girls I cheated on before, it’s a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive but never forget, so the past reappears, uh huh
To all the girls I cheated on before, it’s a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive, but you still think that I’m a ho

Hotel, (I’m not a) motel, Holiday Inn (you don’t believe me though)
And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you take her friend
Hotel, (I’m not a) motel, Holiday Inn (you don’t believe me though)
And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you snatch her friend

(Break it down right here)

One love, you’re lucky to have one love
It sounds bugged, drinking wine from the same jug
One heart, one mind, one soul
She ain’t a gold digger, she don’t care about your bank-roll
Keep your money, she make her own cheddar
All she want from me is respect like Aretha
Cooked me lasagne, stayed in for the winter
Chilled to the summer, now I’m gone ‘til November
Have you seen her?
I think I did
But what I did wrong was take a love for granted
Cause first comes trust, don’t rush into lust
Easier said than done, I lust and I must
Passion is a must, but then we start to cuss
We was just makin’ love, now we tearing up each other’s guts
Like species, she called me an animal
So feel the tongue of the warm-blooded mammal

To all the girls I cheated on before, it’s a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive but never forget, so the past reappears, uh huh
To all the girls I cheated on before, it’s a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive, but you still think that I’m a ho

I’m not a ho [repeat and dimminuendo at the same time]
(You don’t believe me though)
I know you’re diggin’ this
Is it OK if I play my guitar right about now, is it alright?
(You don’t believe me though)
Alright (you don’t believe me though), alright
People in the back, is it OK if I play my guitar right about now?
Alright, alright, alright, alright
People on the side, is it OK if I play my guitar right about now?

Definitivamente, Wyclef no ha vuelto a sacar un disco tan bueno como lo fue «The Carnival»…

Rumores

Según palabras de [J]: «Auna, Ono o como quiera que se llame la empresa ahora dicen que van a poner en noviembre 8 megas de bajada y 1 mega de subida…» Rumores al fin y al cabo. De todas maneras, me parece un poco raro, no creo que hagan ese aumento de velocidad gratuitamente, supongo que será una nueva modalidad para contratar, siempre y cuando el rumor sea cierto.

iPod (y II)

iPod PhotoAl final he conseguido el iPod Photo de 20 GB por 256€ a lo que hay que sumar 12€ de envío. Me acordé de la puja mientras volvía de casa de [I] después de ir a cenar. Ahora sólo queda contactar con el vendedor, que curiosamente tiene un correo de Nestlé, para que me dé los datos de la cuenta o lo que sea. Supongo que ahora queda lo peor, esperar a que llegue el envío :jittery_tb:

Rotondas y semáforos

Para todos aquellos que no se hayan enterado, este año se llevan las rotondas y los semáforos. Sí, sí, como lo oye. Para ponerle un ejemplo, desde Vistabella hasta la Finca España hay seis rotondas. Es que ahora la Avenida de los Menceyes llega hasta un poco antes de Vistabella, hasta el límite municipal de La Laguna, está claro. ¿Los de Santa Cruz? La envidia les corroe, todo porque no tienen una avenida de dos carriles en ambos sentidos repleta de rotondas. Lo que me parece triste es que no exista algún tipo de acuerdo entre los dos municipios para hacer una carretera general desde Santa Cruz hasta La Laguna con dos carriles…

Otro ejemplo de la nueva moda de este año son los semáforos de la carretera La Cuesta – Taco. No sé si soy el único, pero a mi entender son un atraso, una pérdida de tiempo y, por si fuera poco, están pésimamente temporizados para el volumen de tráfico que tienen que dirigir. De esos sí que es verdad que no me he puesto a contarlos, pero creo que hay cinco o seis con un espacio entre ellos de como mucho 30 metros.

Todavía no me he visto en la situación de tomar una decisión tan drástica, pero un día de estos voy a poner una rotonda en el pasillo y un semáforo para poder ir al baño por las mañanas…

Stay

Things ain’t what they used to be. Other things can chage but, definitely… Surely your so solid heart will stay.
