Arrabal amargo metido
en mi vida
Como la condena de una maldición
Tus sombras torturan mis horas de sueño
Tu noche se encierra en mi corazón
Con ella a mi lado no
vi tus tristezas
Tu barro y miserias, ella era mi luz
Y ahora vencido arrastro mi alma
Clavado a tus calles igual que a una cruz
Rinconcito arrabalero
Con el toldo de estrellas
De tu patio te quiero
Todo, todo se ilumina
Cuando ella vuelve a verte
Y mis viejas
madreselvas
Estan en flor para quererte
Como una nube que pasa
Mis ensueños se van, se van, no vuelven mas
No digas a nadie que
ya no me quieres
Si a mi me preguntan diré que vendrás
Y ais cuando vuelvas mi alma te juro
Los ojos extraños no se asombraran
Veras como todos
esperaban ansiosos
Mi blanca casita y el viejo rosal
Y como de nuevo alivia sus penas
Vestido de fiesta mi lindo arrabal. Rinconcito arrabalero.

Faith No More is an American rockband from San Francisco, California, formed
in 1979. Before settling on the current name in July 1983, the band performed
under the names Sharp Young Men and later Faith No Man. Bassist Billy Gould,
keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Roddy Bottumand drummer Mike Bordinare the longest-remaining members of the band, having been involved
since its inception. The band underwent several early lineup changes, and some major
changes later. The current lineup of Faith No More consists
of Gould, Bordin, Bottum, lead guitarist Jon Hudson, and vocalist/lyricist Mike Patton.
After releasing six studio albums, including
best-selling records The
Real Thing(1989) and Angel Dust(1992),
Faith No More officially announced its breakup on April 20, 1998. The band has
since reunited, conducting The Second Coming Tourbetween 2009 and 2010, and releasing its seventh studio album, Sol Invictus,
in May 2015. After the touring cycle of Sol Invictus, Faith No More went on
hiatus once again. In November 2019, the band announced that it would reunite
to embark on a 2020 UK and European tour, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this
was postponed. Touring
was due to recommence with a brief US tour in September 2021, followed by the
previously postponed UK and Europe dates in June 2022, but all tour dates were
cancelled with Patton citing mental health reasons.
King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime is the
fifth studio album by San Francisco-based
band Faith No More,
released on March 28, 1995, by Slashand Reprise Records. It was
their first album recorded without longtime guitarist Jim Martin.
The album showcased a variety of musical genres, with Rolling Stonecalling the result a "genre shuffle". King for a Day...
Fool for a Lifetime spawned three singles—"Digging the Grave",
"Ricochet"
and "Evidence".
Following Martin's departure, Trey Spruancewas brought on to perform on the album, having also been in Mr. Bunglewith
singer Mike Patton.
Production of the album was further marred by the band suffering a car
accident, and the absence of keyboard player Roddy Bottum, who was
affected by the deaths of both his father and Kurt Cobain;
Courtney Love,
Cobain's wife and a former Faith No More vocalist, remains his close friend.
Spruance was replaced on the supporting tour by the band's former roadie Dean Menta. However, Spruance played live
with Faith No More for the first time in November 2011, playing the entire
album during a show in Chile.
Critical
reception to the album has been mixed, with its varied genres being cited as a
detraction by several reviewers. However, retrospective critique has been more
positive and the record has subsequently appeared on several publications'
"best of" lists. The album earned the band two Bay Area Musicaward nominations.
If you want to open the hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away
I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing
Anything you say, we
know you're guilty
Hands above your head, and you won't even feel me
You won't feel me
I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
Didn't feel a thing
I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing
I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing.

the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats",
becoming the best-selling solo female debut album in country music history. She
won three Grammy Awardsfor the album, including Best New
Artist. The next studio album, Carnival Ride(2007),
had one of the biggest opening weeks of all time by a female artist and won two

was preceded by the single "Cowboy Casanova",
which had one of the biggest single-week upward movements on the Hot 100.

finishing her successful Play On Tourin
December 2010 to promote her third studio album Play On,
Underwood started working on the album, but took her time, as she "wanted
to change things up", and needed to step away from the "celebrity
bubble" to "have real things to write about and to sing about". It took her over one year to
finish the album, which, according to Underwood, ended up having a "darker
storyline" than her previous efforts.
Met with mostly positive reviews from music critics, the
album became a commercial success. It debuted at number one on Billboard 200, with
first-week sales of 267,000 copies, achieving the third-largest opening of
2012. With Blown Away reaching number one, Underwood became the third female to
chart at number one on the Billboard 200 with three country albums, tying her
with Linda Ronstadtand Faith Hill. Like
her three previous albums, Blown Away debuted at the top of the Top Country Albumschart. The album remained at number one for a second week on the Billboard
200, becoming her first album to spend more than one week at the top of that
chart. It
topped the "Top Country Albums" chart for seven weeks.
Blown Away was the seventh best selling album
overall and second best-selling country album of 2012 in the US. It finished
2012 with over 1.4 million copies sold worldwide, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
Blown Away has since sold around 1.8 million copies in the US and over two
million copies worldwide. In January 2020, the album was certified 3x-Platinum
by the RIAA.
It spawned the Billboard Hot 100Top 20 and Country Airplaynumber-one singles "Good Girl"
and "Blown Away",
along with the Country Airplay top-two hits "Two Black
Cadillacs" and "See You Again". All
singles received multi-Platinum or Platinum certifications.
Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade
Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
One is for his wife
The other for the woman who loved him at night
Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time
And the preacher said
he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
(Bye bye, bye bye)
Yeah, they took turns
laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Two black Cadillacs
Two black Cadillacs
Two months ago, his
wife called the number on his phone
Turns out he'd been lying to both of them for oh so long
They decided then, he'd never get away with doing this to them
Two black Cadillacs waiting for the right time, right time
And the preacher said
he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
(Bye bye, bye bye)
Yeah, they took turns
laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah, yeah
(Two black Cadillacs)
It was the first and
the last time they saw each other face to face
They shared a crimson smile and just walked away
And left the secret at the grave
And the preacher said
he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
(Bye bye, bye bye)
Yeah, they took turns
laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
