Bonus Track
Charly Efe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Los amantes de San Petersburgo
Canciones de Sabina
Libros de Kerouac y sin embargo
Tu vieja Polaroid debajo de mis ojos, atajos
Versos de Baudelaire, romances de Machado
La conciencia de Pavese saltando
Por la ventana
Pero no me gana
Vida de Peter Pan, Dalí escapando del museo
Detrás del incomprendido se
Esconde el fariseo
L'Enfant terrible del rap español
El vietnamita la estanquera de Saigón
La rubia de bote de la primera fila
La mitad más uno en la Bombonera, Maradona
Alfredo la Calas callando al mundo
Escupido por Panero
Lo quise y no lo quiero, con mi lengua bífida
Treballaré el teu cos como
Raymond en el Olimpia
La Tainor en el templo, Burton en el reparto
Ese póster de Cure jamás
Envejeció en mi cuarto
Temas de Calamaro, novelas de John Fante
Bunbury imitando a Jim
Es el Crepusculo de los Dioses
Los Héroes del Silencio como Biggie
Como Tupac kaseO, Mucho
De mis Años Eléctricos a tu No de nunca
La planta de Loquillo en "A por
Ellos que son pocos y cobardes"
Habitaciones verdes
El libro que escribió mi padre
Makinavaja en mis sueños de cómic
Mis años de rock
En el Carmen escuchando a Josh y a Costas
Camarón
Dándole luz al faro, me arrancaron del Tiempo
Nacieron impurezas que abrigo
Entre ídolos muertos
El Atleti palmando en el descuento, mi París
Mi San Siro mis lágrimas cayendo al suelo en
El penal de Pellegrino
Mi cruzada, mi destino, Channel
Cocaína y Don Periñón
Mi Martin Hache, mi Mad Max, mi rendición
El puto facha muerto cara al
Sol y 23 de agosto
Cabañal y mi gente, la pasión y el buen gusto
