The Phoenicians

We know, because we know, because for this are the books and 'un globo, dos globos, tres globos'1 that Phoenicians four or five thousand years ago, were eminently business people. Phoenicians back then organized themselves in such way, that they had total control over the Mediterranean harbors. And since there were no customs back then, that was useless.

The Phoenician realized that for example in Italy they had macaroni but not dates, and instead in Arabia there were dates but not macaroni. And rowing and rowing, they crossed the Mediterranean three times a day, and there's no need to tell the common market they created.

Following the school of Lavi the Rabbi, which stated that the profit was in the purchase, trying to sell a shipment of chickpeas to a Phoenician and to suck up to him was a waste of time. As the Phoenician says 'a pound by the pound', one could say that the chickpeas were handmade, a pound by the pound.

Little by little the Phoenician was filling the boat. He loaded Almagro eggplants the same as topsoil for the pots. When the boat was filled to the roof, the Phoenician ordered to put a cartel saying 'Great sale post balance' and with it he said to the captain 'Manolo, to Barcelona'

One had to see the advertising campaign that the Phoenician did to sell his merchandising. Since in that time there was no radio nor newspapers nor television (even in that the Phoenician was lucky), the advertising consisted in putting four black slaves in the main mast announcing 'To the rich Persian carpet, we exchange eastern scents for Canarian black tobacco, Indian sandals, San Lucar prawns and Pret-a-porter pants. Come, don't miss it.' As those boats were prepared to sell in the very harbor, as soon as they docked in the pier the scene was like a January discount.

Some Phoenicians, when they realized that the sales weren't going well, they put on the gentlemen section an eastern dancer to call the attention. This never failed. And when there wasn't even a tie left, there was always someone who said to the Phoenician, referring the dancer 'How much? How much?'. The Phoenician said then 'she's not for sale', and later in low voice he said in his ear 'She's not for sale, but I find you likeable and I'll give her to you for 8.000 reales.' The other accepted the deal and then the Phoenician said 'Take, the dancer, and this as a gift', and he gave him the mother who was in the cabin.

The Phoenician was very skilled. He not only bought and sold but also manufactured some products so he could earn the double. On those times on the Mediterranean lands, was well known the tooth paste Seth 'that don't leave bad breath' and effectively there was no bad breath left. Well, many times not even the teeth were left, right? because it was made of sand and Dead Sea bicarbonate with a drop of mint, and that would carry even the wisdom teeth away, but it was well presented and it called the attention. Another commercial success of the Phoenicians was the magical crossbred Cleopatra, which was an idea of an Indonesian who lived in Calcutta and whose patent was exchanged for a shipment of sandals of Castellón de la Plana. Well, this made an uproar.

Phoenicians were great businessmen, yes sir, but they made mistake, a huge mistake. They, who didn't know anything about credit cards, nor time payments, whose purchases and sales were in cold hard cash and didn't know more banks but the river banks, invented the alphabet, in other words the letras2. And with those, they ruined themselves. The invention went worldwide, and became a fashion at the time of paying, to remember the Phoenicians.

2. 'Letra' means letter, but also means installment agreement

If children would rule the world

I.went for a walk today
Through friendly streets
The friendly streets of my city
Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
People are ready to judge me when I smile
When I smile, they look at me with malice

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

Porncraving

It is known everywhere
The girls of Venus
The girls of Venus are infected by Venereal Diseases
In fact no one goes to the primaries/chief physicians to vote,
Anyone with problems of the urinary tract
But I am the chairman
And I don´t care about nothing
And further
I started again with HIV-love
And I don´t understand why you are upset
you have no reason
If I told you that the result is positive, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
Now I'm taking this sick word
And spread it to the whole electorate
This is a less invasive method
I will sit down in the armchair of a television talk show
And in a second I'll explain my program to you, so
Now I'm buying the TV, the love, newspapers and the Voodoo guru and I think
That this freedom is a little simple
As news, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
All the porn
All the porn
And with a sick glow on the face
Saying: 'It's crazy not to carry this cross
Everyone thinks so much of themselves
So let it be, love,
And tell me, what am I to you?
What am I to you?

Beyond (Reprise)

And we will follow our star together
We will surge like a tide
The whole world is our home
We’ll go all the way
To the beginning of all beginnings
Where our very first dock remained
From the depths as one we will rise
We will follow the star

Even though I don't tell you

If I make it to stay quiet this time
and enjoy this moment with nothing that interrupts us
If nobody's looking for us
I can stand up on you
You keep so stable when doubts come to me

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you

You float on the room where you're in
And I'm trying to catch you, though you say that in every one of your lives,
you would choose me
How many mouths there are that want to eat
If they just knew what you can do when everything is over

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you

Even though I don't tell you
Even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
This may end well
Even though I don't tell you
even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
this may end well

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
