El Nahual

Esto le pasó a mi primo hace poco. El vive en un pueblo tan tradicionalista y viejo que las historias de aparecidos y brujería son de casi todos los días, él no creía en esas cosas hasta que lo vivio en carne propia.
Dice que en su casa no se explicaban porqué, pero todos los días encontraban la cocina revuelta, como si hubiera entrado un animal, todos los trastos tirados, la harina, el azúcar; y es que ellos siempre compran bultos de harina y azúcar y manteca porque hacen pan. El patio que tienen es muy grande y la cocina está un poco alejada de su casa.
Por más que se atrancaba la puerta, parecía que un animal o alguien entraba a tirar todo, mi tía cansada de esa situación, decidió espiar a ver lo que era. Pasaron 4 noches y nada, la quinta noche se levantó al escuchar mucho ruido en la cocina, levantó a mi primo y sigilosamente se asomó, cuál fue su impresión al ver por la ventana a un enorme cerdo negro y repulsivo, tirando las cosas, husmeando en las cacerolas, los trastos... Lo que más le sorprendió es que la puerta estaba bien atrancada y no había agujero por el que semejante animalón pudiera meterse, y como se las sabe de todas todas, le dijo a mi primo que trajera un lazo y "que se orinara en el". Mi primo trajo el lazo y le dijo que para que se lo iba a orinar y mi tía que lo regañó y lo hizo orinarse en el lazo. Mi tía tomó el lazo y entró, el animal se le aventó agresivo queriendola morder, y en una de esas que mi tía lo laza..., en serio que el animal tenía una fuerza descomunal que hasta mi primo la tuvo que ayudar. Lo amarraron en un arbol en medio del patio y dijo -si en verdad no es nada malo, mañana mismo lo echo en la cazuela, canijo animal-.

No lo van a creer, pero a la mañana siguiente, lo que mi primo vio no lo podía creer, el cerdo ahora era humano, era una anciana vecina de ellos, doña Teresita; estaba completamente desnuda. Mi tía dijo que se había rumorado que era nahual, pero no lo creía, le reprochó, -¿Porque me hace eso doña Tere?, yo no le he hecho nada malo para que me perjudique así-; la anciana pidió mil disculpas diciendo que era la costumbre y que no sabía que era su casa, pero que la dejara ir, que no la molestaría más. Mi tía, como se pasa de buena, le dió con que vestirse y la dejo ir, diciendole que si lo volvía a hacer que no dudaría en matarla ahí mismo.
Mi primo desde ahí quedó pasmado e investigó lo que era un nahual, según el dice, es un brujo maligno que pacta con satanás y tiene la facilidad de cambiar su cuerpo a la de un animal grande, cerdos, perros, coyotes, etc., para hacer daño a las casa o para asesinar a sus enemigos.

One louder solex

I think we would better tactfully put
And end to the evening now, a
Little kicking
Over the traces goes
A long way this age
And we were both bundled
Up in nice tweeds and flannels

What she needed she couldn't have
For all I knew she was stone-deaf

I said "front page"
She heard "teenage"
So I tried "read"
But she heard "sweet"

I think we would better tactfully put
An end to the evening now, a
Little kicking
Over the traces goes
A long way at this age
And we were both bundled
Up in nice tweeds and flannels

What she needed she couldn't have
For all I knew she was stone-deaf

"There's bag of
Sweets floating
Around somewhere, let
Me see, I really
Had it with me
When I visited
The Grand Prix"

Little trouble girl

Ready? Go, 1, 2, 3, 4

If you want me to
I will be the one
That is always good
And you'll love me too
But you'll never know
What I feel inside
That I'm really bad
Little trouble girl

Remember mother?
We were close
Very, very close
(Sha la la) You taught how to fit it good
(Sha la la) Flow down life you understood
(Sha la la) Curl my hair and eye lash
(Sha la la) Hitch my cheeks and do my lips
(Sha la la) Swing my hips just like you
(Sha la la) Smile and behave
(Sha la la) A circle of perfection, it's what you gave
(Sha la la) Then one day I met a guy
He stole my heart, no alibi
(Sha la la) He said: "Romance is a ticket to paradise"
(Sha la la) Momma, I'm not too young to try
(Sha la la) We kissed, we hugged, we were close
Very, very close
(Sha la la) We danced in the sand
And the water rose - higher and higher
(Sha la la) Until I found myself floating - in the sky
I'm sorry mother, I'd rather fight
Than have to lie

If you want me to
I will be the one
That is always good
And you'll love me too
But you'll never know
What I feel inside
That I'm really bad
Little trouble girl

Little trouble girl (what you doin'?)
Little trouble girl cross my heart and hope to die,
Little trouble girl I can not tell a lie

Little trouble girl ah-hu
Little trouble girl ah-hu
Little trouble girl ah-hu
Little trouble girl ah-hu
Little trouble girl ah-hu
Little trouble girl ah-hu
Little trouble girl ah-hu
Little trouble girl ah-hu

Fast as you can

I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live
Without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still

O darling, it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am

You say you don't spook easy
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will

Fast as you can, baby
Run-free yourself of me
Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will disprove you faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your heart from under your skin

Fast as you can, baby
Scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was

And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because

I let the beast in and then
I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more
I'll soar the uneven wind, complain and blame the sterile land
But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear I'm blooming within

Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing run it's route

Fast as you can, fast as you can
Fast as you can, fast as you can

Special

I...
I'm living without you
I...
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I...
I used to adore you
I...
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I...
I used to amuse you
I...
I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new

You were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
