This town is colder now/Viva la vida (all levels)

*** Primero te propongo un ejercicio algo distinto: Primero ves el vídeo con la letra, luego imprimes la letra de la canción que hay bajo el vídeo y escuchas la música pero sin mirar el vídeo, e intentas corregir en lo impreso lo que he añadido extra... y que no es parte de la canción, claro, sino trozos de otras canciones que quizá hasta reconozcas. ¡Espero lo disfrutes! Te aviso que puede ser muy difícil, pero ¡ánimo!

This town is colder now (Onerepublic)



This town is really colder now, I think it's sick of them and not us
It's time to make our move or kick their a..., I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here, no wonder
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years I lost in this land
Steady hands, just take the wheel and drive along the road...
And every glance is killing me with their faked smile
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I wanna lead,
what have I done to deserve such a load?

Stop and stare at the tiger luring in the woods
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere but towards doom
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared, even Robin Hood
But I've become what I can't be, oh, thanks to what or whom?
Stop right now and stare, I'm just an ordinary man
You start to wonder why you're 'here' and not there,
but you still feel they favour someone
And you'd give anything to get what's fair,
but no one seems interested in what's fair any more
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see, crystal clear,they said,
everybody wants to rule the world!

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
but I will survive, Gloria Gaynor said
Steady feet, don't fail me now, be the force with me

Gonna run till you can't walk anymore
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...
and watching this cold world
me, just a pawn in this chess game,
On Friday and on every week day

Stop and stare at this pawn, you rook
I shone on my crazy diamond before
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared, not me anymore
life is too short to live with fear
But I've become what I can't be, oh,
Stop and stare, you think you win
but let me tell you that I never lose
not even when I am not here anymore
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair,
yes but do they know the meaning of fair?
But fair ain't what you really need,
not really, what we all need is love,
true love, not tainted love
Oh, you, Inés doesn't need John,

What u need, What u need .....
all you need is honesty and more ...

Stop and stare
I need the same as you, as everyone,
more good things than bad ones
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
I'm stuck in this Rubik's cube
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be,
a lonely knight in a Middle Age war
Oh, do u see what I see...
why don't we stop this
Stop & Stare
there's lots of fake to stop and change.
