mike pinto - a thousand years ago

Some may say
The choice is ours
Others seek advice while starin at the stars
Others fold their hands and pray and wait
Hoping that one momentous day
Their heaven will await
And those who hope through microscopes each day
Say they know the answer but its only theory
Was our fate set in stone
A thousand years ago

There exists a girl halfway round the world who looks as lost as
lost could be
Who looks exhausted just like me
And she's been losing sleep over thoughts too deep to consume
As she stares at the ceiling of her room
And though she's trying so hard to make some sense about
Every little thing and each event that
Comes her way and now she's praying
Up into the sky where her god is waiting
But is he really there to listen to her prayers
Or is he from a story
A thousand years ago

What do you believe is true
in a world that's filled with lies
And who do you think painted the pictures that became our
morning skies
Do you even think at all or are just another
Materialistic fool or skeptic
who counts their money just to see if they're alive
And are you alive

Some may say
The choice is ours
Others seek advice while starin at the stars
Others fold their hands and pray and wait
Hoping that one momentous day
They're heaven will await
And those who hope through microscopes each day
Say they know the answer but its only theory
Was our fate set in stone
A thousand years ago

mike pinto - chilean lover

Now tell me how many times do you think you can get away with
Tell me how many times did it take to get the nerve
To break the heart of your lover for the likes of another woman
Your gonna get what you deserve
How many times did you disguise your reputation
How many women did you promise that you loved
While at the same time you rhymed to that Asian
Stewardess you undressed to join the mile high club

Sandra was a victim of adultery
She lost control as he gave all his love to three
Fine looking women never meant to be and now
Now Sandra sits and prays the rosary she said
Hail Mary woe is me
Oh I try not to cry but I?m full of grief
My children weep no they cannot sleep cause they
Miss the kisses of their dear papi

I know my husband?s not an honest man
He drinks too much and often gives his hand
To other women and though he sleeps around I pray
Blessed Virgin Mary keep him safe? safe and sound

Now it?s time for me to introduce
A full-time driver of an autobus
Part-time husband and father of three by the name of
Alejandro Sanchez from the heart of Chile
A Spanish lover who likes to go down south
Came out of the fucking womb with a rose in his mouth
He?s always looking for a heart to break
But my friend Alejandro made one fatal mistake

You know I told you about the three
Fine looking women mentioned previously
Well one of them whose loved he torn apart
Put a bullet through his head and two straight through his heart
and she said
how many times do you think you can get away with
Tell me how many times did it take to get the nerve
To break the heart of your lover for the likes of another woman
Your gonna get what you deserve
how many times do you think you can get away with
Tell me how many times did it take to get the nerve
To break the heart of your lover for the likes of another woman
Your gonna get what you deserve

mike pinto - dear señoritas

Chorus
Girl you better love your man
Before he finds somebody else that can
You can ignore my advice but you better think twice
Before you leave him without love again
And you may think that he will always stay
You may think his love will never stray
But there?s empty beds out there so you better beware
Another woman soon could take your place

I know this señorita who didn?t hear what I have told
You know she didn?t satisfy and that?s exactly why
Her husband left her all alone
And this señorita is filled with anger and disgrace
Because her husband unkind only left behind
His image on her children?s face

Well Well you can only blame yourself
Now your husband?s lovin? someone else (good lord)
But this is the price you?ll pay
Because every man needs a little bit of love?at least 3 times a
day

(Chorus)

I know this puta hermosa
She?s working on the boulevard
You know her loving is cheap seven days of the week
Her lovers come from near and far
And this puta hermosa
Although she never felt real love
Well tonight a senor will keep begging her for more
So to her its close enough

Well Well how the women call you names
Little do they know that they?re to blame
But you don?t hear a word they say
Cause its their man who comes for just a little bit of love?at
least three times a day

Solo

Chorus

mike pinto - never hold me down

Come on little girl won?t you fly away from me now yeah
Come on little angel won?t you fly away from me
Why can you not see what I can see
That your love your love your love will never set me free

You think you and I are just fantasy now yeah
Meanwhile I?m starting to plan our anarchy
Sick of saying I love you don?t wanna pretend
I?m just trying to get a little closer to your friend

And you will never hold me down
No you will never hold me down
Cause now that?s not the type of life that I?d like to lead
Well I know I sure as hell have as changed
I just want to forget all the pain
That your life has given now its time for you to bleed

Come on little girl won?t you fly away from me now yeah
Come on little angel won?t you fly away from me
Why can you not see what I can see
That your love your love your love will never set me free

Well its been twenty-seven days since I wrote a song
About me or a girl or anything at all
Life is getting stranger every time I close my eyes
As I look at all the meanings that surround me in disguise
Girl you tell you miss me and how much you want to kiss me well
You better believe I got some tricks up my sleeve
While you?re in love all that I?ve been thinking of
Is the girl last week that crazy freak that made me stain my
sheets

And you will never hold me down
No you will never hold me down
Cause now that?s not the type of life that I?d like to lead
Well I know I sure as hell have as changed
I just want to forget all the pain
That your life has given now its time for you to bleed

mike pinto - one more time

I feel my time it is wearing thin
Here comes a song man i hope it brings a little
Joy to your life cause these words i write
Go out to young and old every man and wife
I come before you with a little token of
My gratitude speaking words unspoken
Positive thoughts about a life so very
Complicated when you?re temporary

This ain?t a lesson on how you should be livin?
How to make a dollar or get all the women
This is a melody for all my friends and family
A word of thanks for all the loving that they?ve giving to me
I?m letting you know i feel the same way
It?s your lovin? that could get me through the worst day
Well you can crank up the music and be well supplied
But a party ain?t a party till your friends arrive yeah
So find a friend put your arm round their shoulder
Grab a girl and hold her?we?re getting older
Let?s go ahead and laugh at all of our mistakes
Damn its good to see your face just

Chorus
One more time for old times sake

I?ll always give you my?my hand to shake (2x)

Let?s have conversations bout the past thinking when was the
Last
Time we spent you know we cared less if our days went fast
Let?s reminisce about the ones we?ve kissed
And mention all the friends we both have missed
Flashback to the road trips in the summertime
Listening to sublime taking our time while the bass line
Shakes the rear view there?s no need to speed
Cause my friend with weed is a friend indeed
Partying down the beach in a hotel room
There was no need to sleep cause the sun would soon
Go on and meet us and greet us as we sat there waiting
Listening to the sounds of our young hearts breakin?

With the crashin? waves we knew we?d go our separate ways
Times they change like stories never told the same
To all my friends old and new there?s nothing to it
Live this day like it?s your last let?s do it

Chorus

Maybe my time has com
Maybe this breath i take shall be my final one
Or maybe my dying day will come when i am old and gray
But either way?i pray
Oh thank the lord thank the lord thank the lord for every day
You get
Cause your love i?ll always find in the corner of my mind
So don?t forget no don?t forget

Chorus

Maybe my time has come
Maybe this breath i take shall be my final one
Or maybe my dying day will come when i am old and gray
But either way?i pray
Oh thank the lord thank the lord thank the lord for every day
You get
Cause my love you?ll always find in the corner of my mind
So don?t forget no don?t forget

mike pinto - tricky nicky

Tricky Nicky always ran around town
She?s the type of girl who'll turn your frown upside-down
Five fucking minutes in the sack and you?ll return with a
Dozen roses and some weed to burn
Shit you think I?m babbling but Nicky?s always dabbling
With coke she?ll smoke your grass toss your ass like a javelin
Before you get thrown here?s advice of my own
You better take out a mother-fucking loan

Tricky Nicky?s gonna spread her disease
Don?t bother to play the father she can?t have no babies
She?ll take your money and she?ll take your Benz
And for a tab of ecstasy she?ll do you and a friend
What a shame what a shame Tricky Nicky?s not the same
As she was before she got caught in the cocaine game
The coke she?d steal would make her feel good for an hour or
two
?Til she woke up with her throat cut in a hospital room

Oh you?ll have to forgive me I have spoke too much
You know as my pen hits the paper my lips hit the dutch
Well you know how that goes but lets continue to flow about
Poor old Tricky Nicky?s scenario

It was an emergency as she went under the knife as doctors
Urgently tried to save Nicky?s life there was a
Burglary and she was too high to fight
Cause she was staying with a dealer that she met that night

Solo

Tricky Nicky always ran around town
She?s the type of girl who'll turn your frown upside-down
Five fucking minutes in the sack and you?ll return with a
Dozen roses and some weed to burn
Shit you think I?m lying but Nicky didn?t die
And the scar on her neck would only reflect the pain she keeps
inside
So pass the story right on through cause that is all that you
can do
Cause Tricky Nicky?s coming to a town near you
