Sid Denison & the Harpooners

You are inscrutable, mysterious, unfathomable
Can’t understand you but you’re eminently lovable
I’m lost for words in your presence you confuse me every time
Every time
Every time I look into your eyes
I get a feeling things aren’t right, I get a feeling of ill ease
Like I’m a man who’s spent a year learning Spanish for you
Only to discover, that you speak Portuguese

You’re out of my league, out of my reach, I am out of my mind
To even contemplate you’d contemplate that you would be mine
I wake at night in a cold sweat and it’s all because of you
It’s you
It’s your unobtainability that tortures me
That churns me up inside
Like I’m standing at the roller-coaster smaller than the sign that says:
“You must be at least this big to ride”

The only thing I know for sure with you
Is when I’m standing next to you my heart beats faster

Sometimes my life in this town
Is awfully hard
Sometimes it throws a sharp right to the jaw
If I let down my guard

But I can take care of myself
Yeah, I’ve got a plan
I’m starting to fix up a new bag of tricks
As fast as I can

See, I signed up for night school
On Tuesdays and Thursdays
I’ll learn me some Spanish from Señor McLean
Then I’ll move to Majorca
And help pick the olives
And say sayonara to life in Fort Wayne

Sometimes it seems like my plan
Might not come to pass
I will admit these irregular verbs
Are kicking my ass

I just need to take a deep breath
And climb out of bed
Then come snow, sleet or rain, like a runaway train
I’m full speed ahead

I will finish up night school
On Tuesdays and Thursdays
Learn all the Spanish from Señor McLean
Then I’ll move to Majorca
And help pick the olives
And say sayonara to life in Fort Wayne

Jon Eric - Spanish Lessons
(...in Subtitle-o-vision!)

When the time came, he made his first million
He knew in his heart he had to start buildin'
He pulled up in a Tahoe, said "Tengo trabajo"
["I have work"/"I have a job" (i.e. for you to take)]
They got in 'cause they needed a job
Well he spoke no español, he told them they could go
But none of the workers would stop

(chorus)
No hablo, no hablo, no hablo no español
No hablo, no hablo, no hablo no español
The building is getting so high
And nobody seems to know why
No hablo, no hablo, no hablo no español
["I don't speak Spanish"]

When it got bad, he hired a new tutor
She pulled up the driveway on a blue scooter
(said) You can say "What did he say," or "Como se dice"
["How does one say," or more idiomatically, "How do you say"]
Until you turn azul in the face
["blue"]
But you made 'em into zombies, and they tienen hambre,
["Have hunger," or "are hungry."]
And soon they're gonna run the whole place.

(chorus)

Hangin' in Ibiza with Topless Sam
She said "You may have a dick but you ain't no man"
I asked "Why is that?"

"Because I said so
Porque dije tan
Because I said so
Porque dije tan
Because I said so
Porque dije tan
Because I said so
Porque dije tan

"You can whip it out stick it in all day long
But if that's all you got then baby, something's wrong
If you wanna be with me you gotta toe the line"
I looked her up and down and she said, one more time

"Because I said so
Porque dije tan
Because I said so
Porque dije tan
Because I said so
Porque dije tan
Because I said so
Porque dije tan

"There's one more lesson before this is through
You play along with me and babe I'll
Play with you
Just one thing you gotta
Keep in mind
I'm always right, yeah, all of the time

Porque dije tan
Porque dije tan
Porque dije tan
Porque dije tan
Porque dije tan"

VERSE 1
I go to the store, when I am able
to put food on the table, for the kids at home

when I walk down the aisle, I am unable
to read what's on the labels, cause it sure ain't my native tongue

CHORUS 1
looks like spanish, but I don't know
maybe french or cuban I suppose
I'm no super linguistic dynamo
but my kids are starving, and i want them to grow
so it looks like I'm going to need...

VERSE 2
out on the town, took my wife out to eat, yeah

they wanted to feed us, but what they said we could not understand

CHORUS 2
sounds like spanish, but I don't know
maybe french or cuban I suppose
I'm no super linguistic dynamo

"Spanish Lessons" by Berkeley Social Scene

It was a warm day in San Felipe
I had just arrived for my vacation
I met a beauty there
She had long silky hair
She took me home for the entire evening

Una noche conmigo no viene gratis
(A night with me does not come free)
Solo eres un Americano arrogante
(You're just another arrogant American)
Mi alma y tu cartera estan vacidas
(Your wallet and my soul are so empty)
Si quieres vivir, dame tu coche
(if you want to live, give me your car)

In the morning I knew we were in love
She took my car to get some food
In bed I closed my eyes
That's when I realized
I hadn't had the sense to ask her name

Morning turned to afternoon
I started pacing the room
I knew she'd be back
But I nearly had a heart attack
When she returned with another guy

Una noche conmigo no viene gratis
(A night with me does not come free)
Solo eres un Americano arrogante
(You're just another arrogant American)
Deves de ser estupido! Porque sigues aqui?
(Why are you still here? you must be stupid!)
Tienes suerte que Roberto le gusta tu Monte Carlo
(You're lucky Roberto really likes your Monte Carlo)

I'm starting to think I should learn Spanish
I don't think I'm fluent in the language of love

Una noche conmigo no viene gratis
(A night with me does not come free)
-- I think I'm feeling it too
Solo eres un Americano arrogante
(You're just another arrogant American jerk)
-- When we kiss i know it's forever
Eres calbo, gordo y feo
(You're bald and fat and kind of ugly)
-- Even though it's soon i know it's real
No tienes valor ya que te he quitado todo
(You're useless now I've taken you for all of your worth)
-- Is that how you say "I love you" in Spanish?

Spanish Lessons
by Naked Philosophy

Just a suburban housewife
But by night she's something else
Just ask her new instructor
We all heard he -- taught her things

Six months of Spanish lessons
She doesn't speak a word
But she was speaking in tongues
And the whole neighborhood heard

Just an immigrant gardener
But he had something to teach
Every week he'd cut her grass
Then he'd take her in -- side for a lesson

Six months of Spanish lessons
She didn't speak a word
But she was speaking in tongues
And the whole neighborhood heard

Old man came home early
Found her learning something
Gun was by the bed
Shot her teacher in the head

The big boss comes to tell us
What we didn't want to hear
He said boys and girls I have bad news
And some good news for a few
He said our jobs are moving to another country
And I'll have to let you go
The good news if you want to keep your job
Then you have to let me know

But you'll have to take
Spanish lessons
Spanish lessons
When you meet your instructor
He will tell you what you should do

This will happen in a week or two
Pack your bags get ready to go
Say goodbye to your family and friends
Tell them all you love them so
It's a good thing because we're saving money
Sending jobs so far away
Too bad for you when you soon find out
That your pay is cut in two

And you'll have to take
Spanish lessons
Spanish lessons
When we landed at the airport
This is what he told us to do

You have to learn to dance
You have to learn to dress
If you want to have success
Cause anyone can learn a language
But you have to look your best

You have to cut your hair
And change your underwear
And take a shower twice a day
Cause it gets pretty hot down here
And it's gonna make you sweat

You need to learn to dance
You need to learn to dress
If you want to have success
Cause anyone can learn a language
But you have to look your best

Spanish Lessons - Therman

is there anybody looking down
on my family
cause I am wasted
and I can't face it
there are vultures circling round
got no remedy
and I am spacing
it's blood I'm tasting

In this world there's
nothing worth the effort
and everyone is censored
maybe I'll learn the french words in spanish
and learn how to speak

the heat's a living hell
but I got a trusted wife
the problems mostly
were quiet and ghostly
and I never adjusted well
to a country life
I slit her throat to
show that I love you

In this world there's
nothing worth the effort
and everyone is censored
maybe I'll learn the french words in spanish
and learn how to speak

In this world there's
nothing worth the effort
and everyone is censored
maybe I'll learn the french words in spanish
and learn how to speak

"Here are some words to do with

The first word.

Imagine keeping Time"

Time
To The Tempo... of the...

Imagine
Killing a Bullfighter!

i'm tired of girls who use their girlfriends as deflection
i'm tired of passive aggression
I'm tired of asking questions.
I'm tired of feeling like I'm taking spanish lessons.
From a sicilian woman!
(SPANISH LESSONS?!)
WOO!

"I do not intend to understand"
To understand.
I do not intend.
Entiendo!

"Imagine being in a mess!"

your condescension
does nothing to assist my state of mind
My comprehension is quite a few pages behind
Can't take that glare as motivation
Without you sayin'
Just what your issue is
In something but your made up language!

"I do not intend to understand!"

Papers?
We don't have no papers.
We don't need no papers.
We don't have to show you fucking papers.
You could use some Spanish lessons.

[RangerDenni]

SPANISH LESSONS

You don't know it / but you're the subject
You don't know it …but you're the predicate too
switch back and forth again with other people
switching places with you

Make a commitment to these sentences I'm trying to say
Once in a while baby give me my way give me some hand
understand my take on things
it's not like I'm rushing you towards any

Spanish lessons
I'm not asking you for Spanish lessons;
for you to learn a foreign tongue
I just want to talk to someone
that shouldn't be so hard to do
For a human like you

I'm not asking for anything crazy
I'm not begging for anything baby
...as a matter of fact I don't beg
You won't catch me doing that
Yeah .... that's a fact

I don't want any time that's not just fine with you
I want my own space
I got my own plans, it's true
my own land, my own big glass of wine
... maybe you could stop by
and have some of mine- with your

Spanish lessons
Just a few … spanish lessons
Or something kinda
foreign tongue
Learn to talk to someone so easy to do
For a person like

You don't know me
I could show you things
(not a lot in spanish consequently)
hola mi amor
well … que lastima - amigo

what the hell?
can you tell? that it's just me..
or if this isn't going well
… these ...

Spanish lessons / Spanish lessons
Is it it too hard to do..
For a person, for a person
for a person like you?

[signboy]

I learned of the world
From Alonso Quixano
A well read man
Who does what he can

He travelled out
To defeat bad things
Declare his true love
As things were in the past

Forcing ingrates
To pay their squires
Telling whores
They are queens


These were his Spanish lessons
Honour, Love, Chivalry
This is the way the world
Is supposed to be

Danger comes
When he doesn’t see
The world has moved on
And it just can’t be

Giants turn to windmills
Queens become whores
Kicked into the mud
For believing the lore

These were their Spanish lessons
Spite, Mirth, Disdain
This is the way the world
Appears to me

(Sorry this took so long, judges -- just got back from vacation. If any of you are dawdling in your judging, at least now you have these lyrics for your convenience.)

You were quiet, oh so quiet
Never opening up to say how you feel
Now you're gone and I deny it
Was it all a bad dream or were you real?

If I knew that you would reach me
I'd get out of this town
If I knew what you could teach me
I'd put my pencil down
If I knew the words in Spanish
I'd say 'em all day long
To keep you well, to keep you safe, to keep you strong

You had tried, I know you tried it
To let me know you that want me to leave
Now I listen, and I find out
Your actions speak so much louder to me

If I knew what you were after
I'd buy another round
If I knew we'd be a disaster
I'd tear this whole thing down
If I knew the words in Spanish
I'd say 'em all day long
To keep you well, to keep you safe, to keep you strong

If I knew what you were after
I'd buy another round
If I knew we'd be a disaster
I'd tear this whole thing down
If I knew the words in Spanish
I'd say 'em all day long
To keep you well, to keep you safe, to keep you strong

If I knew the words in Spanish
I'd say 'em all day long
To keep you well, to keep you safe, to keep you strong

If I knew the words in Spanish
I'd say 'em all day long
To keep you well, to keep you safe, to keep you strong

If I knew the words in Spanish
I'd say 'em all day long
To keep you well, to keep you safe, to keep you
