Original subtitles

On a dark desert highway

Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance

l saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sightgrew dim

l had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

l heard the mission bell

And l was thinking to myself

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she lit up a candle

And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

l thought l heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely place (background)

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year

Any time of year (background)

You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted

She's got the Mercedes Benz

She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

That she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember

Some dance to forget

So l called up the Captain

Please bring me my wine

He said

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969

And still those voices are calli ng from faraway

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely Place

Such a lovely Place (background)

Such a lovely face

They're livin' it up at the Hote l California

What a nice surprise

What a nice surprise (background)

Bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling

Pink champagne on ice

And she said

We are all just prisoners here

Of our own device

And in the master's chambers

They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing l remember

l was running for the door

l had to find the passage back to the place l was before

Relax said the nightman

We are programed to recieve

You can check out anytime you like

But you can never leave

lt's another tequila sunrise

stirring slowly across the sky

said goodbye

He was just a hired hand

working on the dreams he planned to try

the days go by

Every night when the sun goes down

Just another lonely boy in town

And she's out running round

She wasn't just another woman

But man l couldn't keep from coming on

lt's been so long

Whoa and it's a hollow feeling

When it comes down to dealing friends

lt never ends

Take another shot of courage

Wonder why the right words never come

You just get numb

lt's another tequila sunrise

And this old world still looks the same

Another frame

Somewhere along the way

l found the meaning

woke up dreaming

around who awaken

Let her quite seems the same

when you wake

and make at before the time

you are such a price to pay

then they take the dream away

and it just ain't fair

To help me through the night

Mama, help me ease the pain

help me it's alright

Help me throught the night

Once again

That's the danger we tend in

trying to defend yourself

from someone else's war

Don't know what they are fighting for

no,they just don't care

no

so help me to see the light,mama

Open my eyes again

Tell me it's alright

Help me through the night

Once again

Who can help me

Could you help me

aah...

Woo...

l got a gal today

but l didn't want to hear

but l knew it would go

All through the while

l was talking on the phone

She said she's found someone

And l thought all about it

the struggles we went through

and l've lost me

and you've lost you

but these voices

outside the open doors

They get thrown out

And beg for something more

And l'm learning to live without you

missing you sometimes

The more l know

the less l understand

All the things l thought l knew

l'm learning again

and trying to get down

to the heart of the matter

but my will gets weak

And my thoughts scatter

But l think it's about

forgiveness

forgiveness

evening

evening

You don't love me anymore

All these times l'm so uncertain

You are the yearning undefined

There are people filled with rage

We are need

How can love survive

in such a graceless age

There are trust and self assurance

that lead to happiness

There are little things

we care about less

There are vast competition

Can l feel these empty arms

and the work l put between us

You know it doesn't keep me warm

And l'm learning to live without you

missing you sometimes

The more l know

the less l understand

All the things l figure out

and trying to get down

to the heart of the matter

but everything changed

And my thoughts scatter

But l think it's about

forgiveness

forgiveness

evening

evening

You don't love me anymore

There are people in your life

who come and go

and let you down

You know they hurt you

You'd better put behind you

'cos life goes on

lt'll eat you up inside

l've been trying to get down

to the heart of the matter

And my thoughts scatter

But l think it's about

forgiveness

forgiveness

evening

evening

You don't love me anymore

l've been trying to get down

to the heart of the matter

because the fish will get weak

and the ash would scatter

so l'm thinking about it

forgiveness

forgiveness

evening

evening

You don't love me

forgiveness

forgiveness

You don't love me

anymore

l was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you given me the will to survive

When we're hungry... love will keep us alive

Don't you worry

Sometimes you've just gotta let itride

The world is changing

Right before your eyes

Now l've found you

There's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry... love will keep us alive

l would die for you

Climb the highest mountain

Baby, there's nothing l wouldn't do

Now l've found you

There's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry... love will keep us alive

l would die for you

Climb the highest mountain

Baby, there's nothing l wouldn't do

l was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you given me the will to survive

When we're hungry... love will keep us alive

When we're hungry... love will keep us alive

When we're hungry... love will keep us alive

lt's just another day in paradise

As you stumble to your bed

You'd give anything to silence

Those voices in your head

You thought you could find happiness

Just over that green hill

You thought you would be satisfied

But you never will

Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd

We don't know how to be alone

So we wander 'round this desert

And wind up following the wrong gods home

But the flock cries out for another

And they keep answering that bell

And one more starry-eyed messiah

Meets a violent farewell

Learn to be still

Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden

They don't smell so sweet so sweet

Maybe you've forgotten

The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contradictions

ln all these messages we send

(We keep asking)

How do l get out of here

Where do l fit in

Though the world is torn and shaken

Even if your heart is breakin'

lt's waiting for you to awaken

And someday you will

Learn to be still

Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'

Keep on runnin'

Hi there, how are ya

lt's been a long time

Seems like we've come a long way

but we learn so slow

and heroes they come and they go

and leave us behind

as if we are opposed to know why

oh,tell me why

Why do we give up our hearts to the past

And why must we grow up so fast

And all you wishing well fools with your fortunes

someone should send you a rose

with love from a friend

lt's nice to hear from you again

And the storybook comes to a close

Gone are the ribbons and bows

Things to remember

places to go

pretty maids all in a row

all in a row

all in a row

lt wasn't really sad

the way they said good-bye

Or maybe it just hurt so bad

she couldn't cry

He packed his things

walked out the door and drove away

And she became the girl from yesterday

He took a plane across the sea to some foreignland

She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand

How someone who had been so close couldbe sofar away

And she became the girl from yesterday

She doesn't know what's right

She doesn't know what's wrong

She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long

And she doesn't count the teardrops

That she's cried while he's away

Because she knows deep in her heart

That he'll be back someday

The light's on in the window

she's waiting by the phone

Talking to a memory that's never coming home

She dreams of his returning

and the things that he might say

But she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Yeah, she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Well, baby, there you stand

with your little head down in your hand

Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again

Your baby's gone and you're all alone

and it looks like the end

And you're back out on the street

and you're tryin' to remember

How do you start it over?

You don't know if you can

You don't care much for a stranger's touch

but you can't hold your man

You never thought you'd be alone

this far down the line

and l know what's been on your mind

you're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking

about the first time that you fell

You didn't love the boy too much

no no, you just loved the boy too well

Farewell

So you live from day to day

and you dream about tomorrow, oh

And the hours go by like minutes

and the shadows come to stay

So ya take a little something

to make them go away

And l could have done so many things, baby

if l could only stop my mind

from wonderin' what l left behind

and from worryin' about this wasted time

Ooh, another love had come and gone

Ooh, and the years keep rushing on

l remember what you told me

before you went out on your own

sometimes to keep it together

we got to leave it alone

So you can get on with your search, baby

and l can get on with mine

And maybe someday we will find

that it wasn't really wasted time

Look at us baby, up all night

Tearing our love apart

Aren't we the same two people who lived

through years in the dark? Ooh-oh

Every time l try to walk away

Somethin' makes me turn around and stay

And l can't tell you why

When we get crazy it just ain't right

(Try to keep your head little girl)

Girl, l get lonely too

You don't have to worry just hold on tight

(Don't get caught in your little world)

'Cause l love you

Nothin's wrong as far as l can see

We make it harder than it has to be

And l can't tell you why

Name?

l can't tell you why

l can't tell you why

Every time l try to walk away

Somethin' makes me turn around and stay

And l can't tell you why

no, no, baby

l can't tell you why

l can't tell you why

l can't tell you why

Harry got up

Dressed all in black

Went down to the station

And he never came back

They found his clothing

Scattered somewhere down the track

And he won't be down on Wall Street

in the morning

He had a home

The love of a girl

But men get lost sometimes

As years unfurl

One day he crossed some line

And he was too much in this world

But l guess it doesn't matter anymore

ln a New York minute

Everything can change

ln a New York minute

Things can get pretty strange

ln a New York minute

Everything can change

ln a New York minute

Lying here in the darkness

l hear the sirens wail

Somebody going to emergency

Somebody's going to jail

lf you find somebody to love in this world

You better hang on tooth and nail

The wolf is always at the door

ln a New York minute

Everything can change

ln a New York minute

Things can get a little strange

ln a New York minute

Everything can change

ln a New York minute

And in these days

When darkness falls early

And people rush home

To the ones they love

You better take a fool's advice

And take care of your own

One day they're here

Next day they're gone

l pulled my coat around my shoulders

And took a walk down through the park

The leaves were falling around me

The groaning city in the gathering dark

On some solitary rock

A desperate lover left his mark

Baby, l've changed Please come back

What the head makes cloudy

The heart makes very clear

The days were so much brighter

ln the time when she was here

But l know there's somebody somewhere

Make these dark clouds disappear

Until that day l have to believe

l believe, l believe

ln a New York minute

Everything can change

ln a New York minute

You can get out of the rain

ln a New York minute

Everything can change

ln a New York minute

She came from Providence

the one in Rhode lsland

where the old world shadows hang heavyin the air

She packed her hopes and dreams like arefugee

just as her father came across the sea

She heard about a place

people were smilin'

they spoke about the red man's way

how they loved the land

And they came from everywhere

to the Great Divide

seeking a place to stand or a place tohide

Down in the crowded bars out for a good time

can't wait to tell you all

what it's like up there

And they called it paradise

l don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low

while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down acrossthe desert

through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu

where the pretty people play hungry for power

to light their neon way

and give them things to do

Some rich man came and raped the land

nobody caught 'em

put up a bunch of ugly boxes and

Jesus, people bought 'em

And they called it paradise

the place to be

they watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

just like the missionaries did so many years ago

They even brought a neon sign said

'Jesus is Coming'

brought the white man's burden down

brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design

what is yours and what is mine?

'Cause there is no more new frontier

we have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs

and justify our bloody deeds

in the name of destiny

and in the name of God

And you can see them there on Sunday morning

stand up and sing about what it's likeup there

They called it paradise

l don't know why

You call some place paradise

Name

Well, l'm a runnin' down the road

tryin' to loosen my load

l've got seven women on my mind

four that wanna own me

two that wanna stone me

one says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy

don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can

don't even try to understand

just find a place to make your stand

and take it easy

Well, l'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona

and such a fine sight to see

it's a girl, my Lord

in a flat bed Ford

slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby

don't say maybe

l gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win

though we will never be here again

So open up, l'm climbin' in

so take it easy

Well, l'm a runnin' down the road

tryin' to loosen my load

got a world of trouble on my mind

Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover

she's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy

don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Come on, baby

don't say maybe

l gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Oh, we got it easy

we oughta take it easy

He was a hard-headed man

he was brutally handsome

And she was terminally pretty

She held him up and he held for ransom

ln the heart of the cold, coldcity

He had a nasty reputation as acruel dude

They said he was ruthless saidhe was crude

They had one thing in common

They were good in bed

She said, Faster, faster

The lights are turning red

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Eager for action hot for the game

The calling attraction the drop of the name

They knew all the right people

They took all the right pills

They threw outrageous parties

They paid heavenly bills

There were lines on the mirror

lines on her face

She pretended not to notice

she was caught up in the race

Out every evening until it was light

He was too tired to make it

she was too tired to fight about it

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane

Glowing and burning blinded bythirst

They didn't see the stop sign

Took a turn for the worse

She said, Listen baby

You can hear the engine rev

We've up and down this highway

haven't seen a goddamn thing

He said, Call the doctor

l think l'm gonna crash

The doctor say he's coming

but you gotta pay in cash

They were rushing down that freeway

Messed around and got lost

They didn't care they were just dieing to get off and it was

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane

Somewhere out on that horizon

Out beyond the neon lights

l know there must be something better

But there's nowhere else in sight

lt's survival in the city children

When you live from day to day

City streets don't have much pity, no

When you're down that's where you stay

lN THE ClTY

lN THE ClTY

l was born here in the city

With my back against the wall

Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty

No-one's there to catch you when you fall

Somewhere out on that horizon

Far away from the neon sky

l know there must be something

must be something better

And l can't stay another night

lN THE ClTY

Another night

lN THE ClTY

Another night

lN THE ClTY

lN THE ClTY

l turn on the tube and what do l see

A whole lotta people cryin'

Don't blame me

They point their crooked little fingers at everbody else

spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves

Victim of this, victim of that

Your momma's too thin

your daddy's too fat

Get over it

Get over it

All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit

Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same

since you had your little crash

But you might feel better

if they gave you some cash

The more l think about it

Old Billy was right

Let's kill all the lawyers

- kill 'em tonight

You don't want to work

you want to live like a king

But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it

Get over it

lf you don't want to play

then you might as well split

Get over it, get over it

lt's like going to confession

every time l hear you speak

You're makin' the most of your losin' streak

Some call it sick

but l call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain

You wallow in the guilt

you wallow in the pain

You wave it like a flag

you wear it like a crown

Got your mind in the gutter

bringin' everybody down

Complain about the present

and blame it on the past

l'd like to find your inner child

and kick its little ass

Get over it

Get over it

All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit

Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Get over it

lt's gotta stop sometime

so why don't you quit

Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Desperado

why don't you come to your senses

You've been out ridin fences

for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

but l know that you've got your reasons

These things that are pleasin'

you can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds boy

she'll beat you if she's able

You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me

some fine things have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones you can't get

Desperado, you ain't gettin no younger

Your pain and your hunger

they're drivin you home

And freedom, oh freedom

well that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

lt's hard to tell the nighttime from the day

And you're losin all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feelin goes away?

Desperado

why don't you come to your senses

Come down from your fences-open the gates

lt may be rainin

but there's a rainbow above you

You'd better let somebody love you

Let somebody love you

You'd better let somebody love you

before it's too late
