Esto No Es Una Canción
Mecano (ES)
This Is Not a Song
The first time I barely liked it
It was through the nose
Not to say no
That saying no is for cowards
And at sixteen
You test how deep
The river is with both feet
The second time, I started liking it more
I felt its power
Its sense of peace
And after a few months
I started to itch
I always thought I could control it
I've tried to quit more than once
And more than five and more than ten
But there's no way, no how
With that shit, no one can
Smelling it is
Putting your feet in
When there was nothing left to steal from them
I started shooting up
In front of my parents
But they were overwhelmed
Always asking
Tell us, my son: What have we done wrong?
I've tried to quit
More than once and more than five and more than ten
But there's no way, no how
With that shit, no one can
If you're hooked
You have two choices
Steal to buy
Or sell and cheat
And both end sooner or later
With a broken ass and AIDS in Carabanchel
Trying to quit
Trying to quit
