## Background

The original last lines of the song "naghihintay sa dalaw ni itay" was changed to "nanginginig sa seldang maginaw" when the song was recorded for Circus.

## Lyrics

Kailan mo ako hahagkan

Matagal na akong naghihintay

Nakadungaw sa bintana

Mga dahon lang ang kumakaway

Kailan ko mararamdaman

Pagdampi ng iyong labi

Tinatanaw ko ang mga bituin

Mga luha humahalik sa 'king pisngi

Kailan ako tatahan (ooh)

Higpit ng yakap ng 'yong dibdib (ooh)

Nakatingin ako sa salamin (ooh)

May guhit ang noo't mapait ang ngiti (ooh)

Kailan ko masisilayan

Sa araw-araw, aking mahal

Mula paggising hanggang sa pag-idlip

Kagandahan mong walang patid

Kailan mo ako hahagkan (ooh)

Matagal na akong naghihintay (ooh)

Nakadungaw sa bintana (ooh)

Mga dahon lang ang kumakaway (ooh)

Kailan ako lalaya

Sa anino ng pag-iisa

Mga rehas lang ang tanaw

Nanginginig sa seldang maginaw
Lightyears

**Lightyears**  (or **Light-years**) is a song by the Eraserheads from their fourth studio album Fruitcake. It was written by vocalist Ely Buendia and unlike many of the songs from the Fruitcake album, Lightyears is not a Christmas song.

## Lyrics

Big Dipper north of nowhere

Outside the room inside my mind

I look forward to tomorrow

But can I leave yesterday behind

How it feels so strange

To have grown and change

Now, it's not the same

'Cause time

Slip and slide into another place and try

As we might to understand each other

Doesn't really matter where you are

It always seems so very far

It's like you're lightyears away

You're lightyears away from me

Little Dipper south of somewhere

It looks much closer than it really is

I held it in my hands

But you're forever out of reach

Far as the eye can see

Nothing is meant to be

Doesn't mean much to me

But, oh

If I only had a rocket ship to fly

I'd be right there in a minute

But it doesn't really matter where you are

However near is still so far

It's like you're lightyears away

You're lightyears away from me

Far as the eye can see

Nothing is meant to be

Doesn't mean much to me

'Cause time

Slip and slide into another place and try

As we might to understand each other

Doesn't really matter where you are

It always seems so very far

It's like you're lightyears away

You're lightyears away from me

Look forward to tomorrow

But can I leave yesterday behind
Fruitcake (song)

**Fruitcake** is a song by the Eraserheads from their Christmas album of the same name. Released as a carrier single, Fruitcake alludes to the Christmas tradition of giving away fruitcakes.

## Background

The lyrics of the song makes references to the Star Margarine brand popular in the Philippines. At the start of the song, you can hear the album's final track, Merry Christmas Everybody Happy New Year, backmasked.

## Lyrics

There's a fruitcake for everybody

There's a fruitcake for everyone

There are B-sides to every story

If you decide to have some fun

Take a bite, it's all right

There's some brandy and Star margarine to make it bright

Take a bite, it's all right

A little lovin' and some fruit to bake

Life is a piece of cake

It's the season for being happy

But the reason is dead and gone

If the reason for being happy

Takes a backseat when the season's done

Just take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right)

Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling in sheer delight

Take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right)

A little lovin' and some fruit to bake

Life is a piece of cake

Hey-hey-hey

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

Everybody, everywhere, people do you really care

Christmas time has once again arrived

Everybody, everywhere, people do you really care

Christmas time has once again arrived

Mistletoe and a little snow

But we don't get it down in Fruitcake Heights

Mistletoe and a little snow

But we don't get it down in Fruitcake Heights (I know)

Stars are falling down from heaven

But it's nowhere near our town

Miracles are falling down from heaven

But it's nowhere near our town

There's a fruitcake in everybody

There's a fruitcake in everyone

There are B-sides to every story

And the story has just begun

So take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right)

Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling in sheer delight

Take a bite (take a bite), it's all right (it's all right)

A little girl is ridin' all alone

She ran away from home

Saturn Return

Saturn Return is a song by the Eraserheads from their album Aloha Milkyway. The song features a melodic hook sung by vocalist Ely Buendia and rap verses by drummer Raimund Marasigan.

## Background

The title is a reference to a concept in horoscopic astrology where the planet Saturn returns to the same place in the sky that it occupied at the moment of a person's birth, usually interpreted as the astronomical peak of adulthood and a turning point in life choices (approximately at age 30).

## Lyrics

In a hostile takeover bid

For the land, land of the sun, sun, sun

All the lawyers pray to God

Aircondition my brain

There's a note in my ear that I can't sustain

Drain all my fear, oh dear

Trapped inside an aeroplane

Sittin' on the aisle as you snooze

"Excuse me sir coffee, tea, or juice"

All I want right now is sleep

Please, oh please let me count my sheep

Swimming in my headphone dream beam

The soundtrack propels me to the extreme

Unconscious tricked me like a lawyer

Save some wine sublime and a prayer

Destination unknown

Invasion like a nervous election

Orbiting a 24-track

Waiting for Saturn to come back

In a hostile takeover bid

For the life

Life in the sea, sea, sea

All the lawyers pray to God

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Connect me to a scanner

Who's in-charge of this sci-fi nightmare

Tomato 1 callin' starship crew

Ground patrol tomato 2

Bouncin' on a cellulite doorbell

Another planet, another hotel, oh well

Snack food shooting marathon

Hypnotized by your own Playstation

I'm a toy with a dream to redeem

Try to change some rules in the mainstream

Mayday, Mayday

Outta control rocket

I think we just hit a nasty air pocket

I'm getting dizzy like a drunken bee

Buzzin' around in the galaxy

Nevertheless guess who's cruisin' here
When Saturn flies by

In a hostile takeover bid

For the clouds, Clouds in the sky, sky, sky

All the lawyers pray to God

In a hostile takeover bid

For the mind, mind of the child, child, child

All the lawyers pray to God

Oh no, oh no

Oh no, oh no, whoo
Maskara

## Music video

A music video was made for the song, directed by Ely Buendia and Marie Jamora. The music video was included in VCD copies of the album, including behind-the-scenes and the making of the music video.

## Lyrics

Kung may problema ka

Magsuot ng maskara

Takpan mo ang iyong mata

Buong mundo'y mag-iiba

Tuwing ako'y nangangamba

Ay nagwawala

Naglalaro, nagpapangap

Na ako'y ganap

Na tao, isang super hero

Di nasasaktan

Di nasasaktan

Di nasasaktan

Kung may problema ka

Magsuot ng maskara

Takpan mo ang iyong mata

Buong mundo'y nag-iiba

Alam kong may kilala ka

Marami ang mukha

Hahanapan ng tao

Ay parang sikat, isang champion

Hindi battle hero

Nag-iibang anyo

Nag-iibang anyo

Nag-iibang anyo

Kung may problema ka

Magsuot ng maskara

Takpan mo ang iyong mata

Buong mundo'y nag-iiba

Tuwing ika'y nakikita

Ay nagwawala

Napipilitang magpangap

Na ako'y banad na tao

Isang super hero

Di namamatay

Di namamatay

Di namamatay

Kung may problema ka

Magsuot ng maskara

Takpan mo ang iyong mata

Buong mundo'y mag-iiba

## Lyrics

Kanina pa naghihintay dito

Buti naman napadaan kayo

May ilang

lumalangoy-langoy

na kwento

Naririnig mo ba

May nakikinig kaya

Dahan-dahan

Madilim ang daan

Mag-ingat baka may masagasaan

Maniniwala ba sa sinasabi

Ibang binubulong ng

iyong mata

Ano ang susunod anong

gustong mangyari

Naiinip ka ba

Naiinis ka ba

Dahan-dahan

Madilim ang daan

Mag-ingat baka may masagasaan

Lumingon sa likod

Mayroon pa bang sumusunod

Pag masyadong malalim

Pati ika'y malulunod

Lumingon sa likod

Mayroon pa bang sumusunod

Pag masyadong malalim

Pati ika'y malulunod

Magasin

**Magasin** is a song by the Eraserheads from the band's second studio album Circus.

## Background

According to Buendia, Magasin is based on his cousin who reportedly dated actress Shirley Tesoro before she became a bold star. Buendia says the chorus was influenced stylistically by Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing (1982). The song references Filipino designer Ino Sotto.

## Lyrics

Nakita kita sa isang magasin

Dilaw ang 'yong suot

At buhok mo'y green

Sa isang tindahan sa may Baclaran

Napatingin, natulala

Sa iyong kagandahan

Naaalala mo pa ba noong

Tayo pang dal'wa?

Di ko inakalang sisikat ka

Tinawanan pa kita

Tinawag mo akong walang hiya

Medyo pangit ka pa noon

Ngunit ngayon

Hey! Iba na ang 'yong ngiti

Iba na ang 'yong tingin

Nagbago nang lahat sa'yo

Sana'y hindi magkita

Sana'y walang problema

'Pagkat kulang ang dala kong pera

Pambili oh, pambili sa mukha mong maganda

Siguro ay may kotse ka na ngayon

Rumarampa sa entablado

Suot mo'y gawa ni Sotto

Siguro'y malapit ka na ring sumali

Sa Supermodel of the Whole Wide Universe

Kasi...

Iba na ang 'yong ngiti

Iba na ang 'yong tingin

Nagbago nang lahat sa'yo, oh oh

Sana'y hindi nakita

Sana'y walang problema

Pagkat kulang ang dala kong pera

Nakita kita sa isang magasin

At sa sobrang gulat di ko napansin

Bastos pala ang pamagat

Dali-dali ang binuklat

At ako'y namulat

Sa hubad na katotohanan

Hey! Iba na ang 'yong ngiti

Iba na ang 'yong tingin

Nagbago nang lahat sa'yo oh oh

Sana'y hindi nakita

Sana'y walang problema

Pagkat kulang ang dala kong pera, ah

Hey! Iba na ang 'yong ngiti

Iba na ang 'yong tingin

Nagbago nang lahat sa'yo, oh

Sana'y hindi nakita

Sana'y Walang problema

Pagkat kulang ang dala kong pera

Pambili, oh pambili sa mukha mong maganda

Nasaan ka na kaya?

Sana ay masaya

Sana sa susunod na issue

Ay centerfold ka na
Alapaap

**Alapaap** (lit. **Cloud**)is a song by the Eraserheads from their second album Circus. It was released in 1994 as the album's fourth single.

## Composition

As the band are heavily influenced by international acts, parts of the song interpolate earlier English songs, such as The Beatles' "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" (1967), and The Lemonheads' "It's a Shame About Ray" (1992), Morrissey's "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" (1992) and The Pale Fountains' "Reach" (1984).

Upon its release, comedian and future senator Tito Sotto called for the banning of Alapaap from airplay, claiming that the song promotes illegal drugs. Although the band denied the claims, Ely Buendia would later admit that it was, in fact about marijuana.

## Lyrics

May isang umaga, na tayo'y magsasama

Haya at halina sa alapaap

O, anong sarap, ha

Hanggang sa dulo ng mundo

Hanggang maubos ang ubo

Hanggang gumulong ang luha

Hanggang mahulog ang tala

Masdan mo aking mata

'Di mo ba nakikita

Ako ngayo'y lumilipad at nasa langit na

Gusto mo bang sumama

'Di mo na kailangan ang magtago't mahiya

'Di mo na kailangan humanap ng iba

Kalimutan lang muna

Ang lahat ng problema

Huminga ka ng malalim at tayo'y lalarga na

Handa na bang gumala

Pap-pa-ra-pa-ra-pa

Pa pa pa pa (papapapa)

La-la-la

Ooh-hoo

Ang daming bawal sa mundo (Ang daming bawal sa mundo)

Sinasakal nila tayo (Sinasakal nila tayo)

Buksan ang puso at isipan (Buksan ang puso at isipan)

Paliparin ang kamalayan (Paliparin)

Masdan mo aking mata

'Di mo ba nakikita

Ako'y lumilipad at nasa alapaap na

Gusto mo bang sumama

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)

Sumama

Spoliarium

**Spoliarium** is a song by the Eraserheads from their fifth studio album Sticker Happy. Penned by vocalist Ely Buendia, the title of the song is a reference to Filipino painter Juan Luna's magnum opus finished in 1884.

## Composition

### Pepsi Paloma's Rape Case

While lyrically Spoliarium tells an abstract and nihilistic scene from a first-person perspective, the song has long been associated to the alleged rape and later suicide of Pepsi Paloma, a teenage "bold star" from the 1980s.

   According to the urban legend, the lyrics of the song alludes to the Paloma's rape case filed against comedians Vic "Enteng" Sotto, Joey de Leon, and Richie D'Horsie in 1982, including the apartment in which the crime took place, and the subsequent affidavit she was forced to sign by Vic's brother, future senator Tito Sotto. Composer Ely Buendia, a film major in UP Diliman, allegedly became aware of Pepsi Paloma while studying at the university. However, Buendia has declined to acknowledge about the true meaning of the song and in 2011 even commented that he will "take this secret to the grave". The band had previously been in a legal struggle against Tito Sotto over the banning of their song Alapaap three years prior.

In 2021, in a podcast episode of *Wake Up With Jim & Saab*, Buendia finally admitted that the song is actually just about being "piss-drunk" in Goldschläger ("gintong alak") and that the Enteng and Joey from the song were the band's roadies at the time.

### Music video

A video for the song was shot in 1997 and features a woman in black who walks around the halls of the Philippine International Convention Center. Directed by Matthew Rosen, the entire video is in black and white.

## Cover versions

The song was covered by Imago for the tribute album Ultraelectromagneticjam!: The Music Of The Eraserheads.

## Lyrics

Dumilim ang paligid

May tumawag sa pangalan ko

Labing isang palapag

Tinanong kung okay lang ako

Sabay abot ng baso

May naghihintay

At bakit ba 'pag nagsawa na ako

Biglang ayoko na

At ngayon

'Di pa rin alam

Kung ba't tayo nandito

Pwede bang itigil muna

Ang pag-ikot ng mundo

Lumiwanag ang buwan

San Juan

'Di ko na nasasakyan

Ang lahat ng bagay ay

Gumuguhit na lang

Sa 'king lalamunan

Ewan mo at ewan natin

Sinong may pakana

At bakit ba

Tumilapon ang

Gintong alak diyan sa paligid mo

At ngayon

Di pa rin alam

Kung ba't tayo nandito

Puwede bang itigil muna

Ang pag-ikot ng mundo

Umiyak ang umaga

Anong sinulat ni Enteng at Joey diyan

Sa pintong salamin

'Di ko na mabasa

'Pagkat merong nagbura

Ewan mo at ewan natin

Sinong nagpakana

At bakit ba tumilapon ang spoliarium

Diyan sa paligid mo

At ngayon

Di pa rin alam

Kung ba't tayo nandito

Pwede bang itigil muna

Ang pag-ikot ng mundo

Huwag Kang Matakot

**Huwag Kang Matakot** (lit. "Do Not Be Afraid") is a song by Eraserheads on their 1999 album Natin99. Composed by frontman Ely Buendia, he wrote the song for his newborn son, Eon Drake Buendia.

## Lyrics

Wag kang matakot

Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako

Sa iyong tabi

Di kita pababayaan kailanman

At kung ikaw ay mahulog sa bangin

Ay sasaluhin kita

Wag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot ah.....

Wag kang matakot

Dahil ang buhay mo’y walang katapusan

Makapangyarihan

Ang pag-ibig na hawak mo sa iyong kamay

Ikaw ang diyosa't hari ng iyong mundo

Matakot sila sa'yo

Wag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot na magmukang tanga

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot sa hindi mo pa makita

Kasama mo naman ako

Wag kang matakot ah

Wag kang matakot

Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako

Sa iyong tabi

Di kita pababayaan kailan man

Wag kang matakot

(wag kang matakot)

Di kita pababayaan kailan man

[Repeat until fade]
Fruitcake

**Fruitcake** is the fourth studio and only concept album of the Eraserheads. Although released as a Christmas album, Fruitcake was heavily influenced by the Beatles' 1967 concept album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and with its narrative style, was also inspired by musicals such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hair. During its release in 1997, the album was sold with an accompanying storybook called *Fruitcake Heights.*

Although the album features major changes to the band's previous releases, it produced several Eraserheads hits including Fruitcake, Trip to Jerusalem, and Lightyears.

The release of *Fruitcake* is preceded by the release of a limited cassette EP version which was later released as a CD, also called *Fruitcake*. The cassette and CD single version contains three songs, including a different version of the song "Fruitcake" and another song called "Christmas Alphabet" which is not found in the official album. The album is the band's longest in terms of duration, lasting 73 minutes.

## Background

### Development

In an interview with Kris Aquino, vocalist Ely Buendia mentioned that the concept of Fruitcake came about because many people, including members the band does not like fruitcakes, and they named their album to annoy them.

Natin99

**Natin99** is the sixth studio album of the Eraserheads released in 1999. With a more mature and serious tone compared to earlier releases, the album produced the tracks Maselang Bahaghari, Tama Ka, Huwag Kang Matakot, and 68 Dr. Sixto Antonio Ave.

Natin99 has been noted for featuring the other band members aside from Buendia as main vocalist, such as bassist Buddy Zabala in Salamin, Tama Ka and Kahit Ano; and drummer Raimund Marasigan in Sino Sa Atin. Buendia is not heard until the fifth track Maselang Bahaghari.

## Background

The title of the album is a wordplay on the year it was recorded and released. According to an interview prior to its release, "the term 'natin' started out as a private joke among the band, from a friend who was having difficulty with his Tagalog, "He'd go: 'Patikim naman ng pagkain natin.' Then "natin" evolved to connote almost everything, becoming a generic term. "Kuhain mo na 'yung 'natin" or "Akin na yung 'natin' diyan."

Natin99 was conceptualized when the band saw that their most recent releases were all English songs. Except for some lines in Peace It Together, the album is the band's only all-Filipino album.

Unlike the band's previous recordings, most of the songs in the album were recorded separately, sequenced together with the help of producer Robin Rivera and sound engineer Angee Razul, creating the "peace-ing together" overall theme of the album. The album also employed programmed drum loops and other synthetic elements more than their previous releases.

Lyrically, one recurring theme within the songs in the album is reminiscing old times and moving on, which would later be interpreted by fans as the band's farewell message to each other. After the release of their next album Carbon Stereoxide, Ely Buendia and Marcus Adoro would soon leave the band and the Eraserheads would officially be renamed Cambio in 2002 with new members.

Shirley

**Shirley** is a song by the Eraserheads from their debut album ultraelectromagneticpop!.

## Composition

Written by Ely Buendia and Raimund Marasigan, the song tells the story of a girl named Shirley and her fickle relationship with a guy. The song makes a reference to the CASAA Food Center inside the UP Diliman campus and the SM Supermalls.

Marasigan, who is also proficient with the keyboard, played the piano part for Shirley, because "Buddy was busy and pissed" at the time of recording. The song features a "spontaneous" melody because according to Buendia, he told everybody to "play as if they didn't know how to play." The song was recorded and mixed without BMG knowing because they were over budget by then.

During the early promotions of the album, the band often playfully sing the music of Shirley mashed-up with The Beatles songs She Loves You (1963), Yesterday (1965) and Love Is All You Need (1967); John Lennon's Give Peace A Chance (1969); and Christmas songs Winter Wonderland and Let It Snow; as well as their other songs Pare Ko and Tindahan Ni Aling Nena.

## Lyrics

In love nanaman si Shirley

Sa binatang maganda ang kotse

Sila'y nag-date sa may Antipolo kagabi

Lagi na siyang naka-dress ng eskwela

Nakaayos palagi ang buhok niya

Lumulutang sa ulap pag naglalakad sa kalye

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab

The next week magsyota na sila

Magkaholding hands papunta sa CASAA

Kung maglandian akala mo'y walang katabi

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab

Ngunit isang araw sa may SM sila'y nagaway

Nagtampuhan may iyakan hanggang sa maubos ang laway

Hiwalay silang umuwi at sila'y nagbreak

After three days nag-ring ang telepono ni Shirley

Si binata ngayo'y nag-sorry ilang minuto na lang

Sila'y mag-on na uli

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab (lab lab lab)

Ganyan main-lab

In-lab nanaman si Shirley

In-lab nanaman si Shirley

In-lab nanaman si Shirley

In-lab nanaman si Shirley

68 Dr. Sixto Antonio Ave.

**68 Dr. Sixto Antonio Ave.** is a song by the Eraserheads on their sixth studio album Natin99.

## Composition

Written by vocalist Ely Buendia, the song is a reference to his childhood home in Pasig City. Reportedly, the lyrics of the song tell of a stabbing incident which he witnessed one rainy evening.

## Lyrics

Isang pulis na nangingikil

Upang may pambili ng beer

Bisikletang paru-paro

Animnapu't walo

Sumemplang sa kanto

Pag may bagyo'y lunod sa luha

Nagbabaha sa kalsada

Isang gabing maulan

Aking napagmasdan

Nagtatakbuhan

Dalawang nakaitim

Isang may hawak na patlim

May galit ang kanyang mukha

Sa pagkidlat ay nawala

Nangyari ay ano kaya

68 Dr. Sixto Antonio Ave.

Hulog ka ng langit

Gumising ka na

Isang bulag na motorista

May nabaril sa kalsada

Masagi na ang lola

Huwag lang daw ang auto niya

Lakas tumawa

Tuloy-tuloy ang panaginip

Maghihintay na lang ng jeep

Nakakabulag ang ilaw

Libu-libong sumisigaw

Lumipad ang araw

Di mo na napapansin

Mga naghuhukay sa dilim

Araw-araw, buwan-buwan

Sumisikip na ang daan

Wala ka nang mapuntahan

Wala ka nang mapuntahan

Hindi malaman kung saan

'Di ko malaman kung saan
Milk and Money

**Milk An Money** is a song by the Eraserheads in their fifth studio album Sticker Happy. An early version of the song was previously included in the demo album Pop-U!.

## Lyrics

I dream of all the years decaying

I dream of better endings

Street smiles

Hateful goodbyes

Demented lies

I dream of guns with red round triggers

And bullets that won't ever miss

And wounds that won't heal

Hands that won't feel

Is this hallowed ground sinking?

Will tears stop their falling?

Can I speak the truth if they cut my tongue?

One night you wake up you're screaming

With trembling hands

And the frightening part

Is you don't understand

And as we go on living

Each day we must tell ourselves

That we have to carry on

And every night as we lay down

And deliver our prayers

To live to see another day

But then down here no one cares

And your troubles will be found

Buried six feet in the ground

We dream a land of milk and money

Coffee mornings bright and sunny

Sex on the phone

You're not alone

And every night as we lay down

And deliver our prayers

To live to see another day

But when nightmares come around

We'll be drinking all our wine

Buried six feet in the ground

Poorman's Grave

Poorman's Grave (sometimes misspelled **Poor Man's Grave**) is a song by Eraserheads from their third album Cutterpillow. Though the song was never released as a single, it has become a fan favorite and a staple in the band's live concerts.

## Composition

The song was written by Ely Buendia when he was 15 years old, feeling angst towards his father (also named Ely) for losing his job and causing financial problems for the family. Later in life, Buendia has expressed that he got to see things more from his father’s perspective and they have patched things up since then.

## Lyrics

I know a man who had nothing

He was a poor man all his life

He lived in a shack by the roadside

With starving kids and a loving wife

He went to church every Sunday

He prays from morning until night, he said

Good Lord, why have you forsaken me

When everything I did I thought was right

Now my life is coming to an end

There's only one thing I'm wishing for

All my days I have never sinned

So I hope you won't ignore

What I'm asking for

Oh, honey when I die

Dress me up in a coat and tie

Give my feet a pair of shoes

That I haven't wore in a long time

Put me in a golden box

Not a cross on a pile of rocks

Bury me where the grass is green

And the gates are shining

Oh, honey when I die

Give me a bed of roses where I could lie

I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved

'Cause I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave

I know a man who had nothing

He dreamed of satin sheets all his life

He lived and worked like a dog

Licking every boot he sees just to survive

He comes home drunk every night

Wakes up the kids and talks to his wife, he said

Honey you have been so good to me

I only wish we had a better life

And now my life's coming to an end

There's only one thing I'm wishing for

All my days I have lived in shame

So I hope you won't ignore

Just what I'm asking for

Oh, honey when I die

Dress me up in a coat and tie

Give my feet a pair of shoes

That I haven't wore in a long time

Put me in a golden box

Not a cross on a pile of rocks

Bury me where the grass is green

And the gates are shining

Oh, honey when I die

Give me a bed of roses where I could lie

I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved

'Cause I don't wanna lie in a poor man's, poor man's grave

Oh, honey when I die

Give me a bed of roses where I could lie

I'm gonna use up all the money that I saved

'Cause I don't wanna lie in a poor man's grave

Maselang Bahaghari

**Maselang Bahaghari** (lit. "Delicate Rainbow") is a song by the Eraserheads on their album Natin99 as its carrier single.

## Composition

The title of the song is a play on the Filipino expression "maselang bahagi ng katawan", a euphemism for a person's private parts.

## Lyrics

Akala ko ay dagat, yoon pala ay alat

Akala ko'y pumasok, sablay

Pikit ko ang aking mata, ikaw ang nakikita

Akala ko'y wala nang saysay

Maselang bahaghari sa aking isipan

Huwag kang mabahala, di kita malilimutan

Pag lipas ng ulan ay mapapangiti ang araw

huwag sanang mawala ang maselang bahaghari

Akala ko ay cool ako, may ulap na sa ulo

Akala ko ang pera'y tunay

Pikit mo ang iyong mata, ano ang nakikita

Akala mo'y wala nang saysay

Maselang bahaghari sa aking isipan

Huwag kang mabahala, di kita malilimutan

Pag lipas ng ulan ay mapapangiti ang araw

Huwag sanang mawala ang maselang bahaghari
Buddy Zabala

**Hector "Buddy" Avanceña Zabala** is a Filipino musician who gained prominence as the bassist of Eraserheads. He also plays with Hilera, Moonstar88, Cambio, and previously The Dawn.

## Biography

Zabala was born Zamboanga City on November 13, 1971.

Zabala was a freshman at the University of the Philippines Diliman enrolled at the Library and Information Science program when he became a member of The Curfew with other freshmen Raimund Marasigan, a Mass Communication student; and Marcus Adoro a Philosophy student. Zabala was roommates with Raimund Marasigan during their entire college years, as they were the only ones in the band who did not smoke. Shortly after The Curfew's vocalist left, Zabala and the other two answered an ad posted on their dorm room at Kalayaan Residence Hall by Ely Buendia, a Mass Communication sophomore.

### Post-*Eraserheads*

Shortly before the band's break-up, Zabala became a session player for Cambio (with Marasigan) and The Dawn. He also became a producer for other bands.

### Personality

Buendia has described Zabala as the "bridge" between his bandmates and recognizes him as the most talented musically out of all four of them.

Marcus Adoro

**Marcus Antonius Corpuz Adoro** (also known by his stage name **Markus Highway**) is a Filipino guitarist, author and singer who rose to fame as the lead guitarist of the Eraserheads.

## Biography

In 1988, Marcus attended University of the Philippines Diliman where he enrolled as a Philosophy student. During his freshman year, he stayed at the Kalayaan Residence Hall with batchmates Buddy Zabala, a Library Science student and Raimund Marasigan, a Mass Comm student, who were also his bandmates on The Curfew.

Although Zabala has described Adoro as optimistic and a natural philosopher, Buendia rather describes him as a "wild and crazy guy", citing at least one incident where they were involved in a motorcycle accident inside the school campus.

### Post-*Eraserheads*

After leaving the Eraserheads, Adoro, an avid surfer, moved to La Union where he also formed his own band Surfernando and Markus Highway.

## Artistry

Adoro has cited musicians from the early 1900s such as Robert Johnson as his main influences. As a solo artist, he describes his music as "organic" Pinoy rock—"a potpourri of local folk, pop, country, reggae and punk."

## Personal life

Soon after Buendia's departure and the rebranding of the band as Cambio, Adoro left the music scene and settled for a more peaceful life in La Union as a surfer. Playing in occasional gigs as a solo musician, he adopted the stage name Markus Highway. He is also the father of musician Syd Hartha Chua.

## Lyrics

I use to have a cat
who wouldn't ever wanna get fat
So she ate a feather pillow, yellow willow
A furry furry furry furry furry furry furry little fellow

Exercising all day
she never could swim in the beach it seems

Infested with jello like fishes no melotron wishes

The cat and the pillow and the jello like fishes

Hey Jay

"**Hey Jay**" is the fourth track by the Eraserheads on their second studio album, *Circus*. The song was written by Ely Buendia and produced by Robin Rivera. The song is 4 minutes and 39 second long.

## Background

Though the title of the song has long been cited as a reference to The Beatles' Hey Jude, the lyrics of the song sings to the eponymous gay friend, comforting him after being bullied for his sexuality. Though Buendia wrote the song allegedly for a friend, he stated in his interview with Esquire that the song is about feeling ostracized in general and not exclusively being gay, though a big part of it was. He also identified the song with those people who couldn’t express themselves freely.

## Lyrics

Hey Jay

Nabugbog ka na nanaman kahapon

Hey Jay

Ba't kasi pumunta ka pa sa lugar na 'yon?

Alam mo namang galit sila sa tulad mo

Alam mo namang di ka nila maiintindihan

Hey Jay

Just look to the right and just look to the left

Makikita mo naman na hindi pantay-pantay

Now he-he-he-hey jay

Everything's gonna be okay (Everything's gonna be okay)

Everything's gonna be okay (Everything's gonna be okay)

Hey Jay

Nag-away na naman kayo ng tatay mo

Hey Jay

Wala raw siyang anak na katulad mo

Alam niya namang wala kang kasalanan

Alam niya na ipinanganak ka ng ganyan

Jay you can get it all up

Jay you can get it all down

Ipagdasal na lang natin na balang araw ay

He-he-he jay

He-he-he jay

Everything's gonna be okay (Everything's gonna be okay)

Everything's gonna be okay (Everything's gonna be okay)

Bakit ba sila ganyan

Puno ng galit ang isipan?

Ba't ba tayo ganito?

Walang galang sa kapwa tao, tao, tao

Hey Jay

San ka na ngayon pupunta?

Hey Jay kailangan ay magtiis ka

Alam mo namang may iba ka pang magagawa

Alam mo namang ang mahalaga ay nabubuhay ka

Jay, whatever you are and wherever you go

Isip-isipin mo na lang na may nagmamahal sa 'yo

Now he-he-he-hey Jay

He-he-he-he Jay

We still love you anyway

We still love you anyway

## Lyrics

Minsan sa may Kalayaan tayo'y nagkatagpuan

May mga sariling gimik at kaya-kanyang hangad sa buhay

Sa ilalim ng iisang bubong

Mga sikretong ibinubulong

Kahit na anong mangyari

Kahit na saan ka man patungo

Ngunit ngayon kay bilis maglaho ng kahapon

Sana'y huwag kalimutan ang ating mga pinagsamahan

At kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin

Na minsan tayo ay naging tunay na magkaibigan

Minsan ay parang wala nang bukas sa buhay natin

Inuman sa magdamag na para bang tayo'y mauubusan

Sa ilalim ng bilog na buwan

Mga tiyan nati'y walang laman

Ngunit kahit na walang pera

Ang bawat gabi'y anong saya

Minsan ay hindi ko na alam ang nangyayari

Kahit na anong gawin

Lahat ng bagay ay merong hangganan

Dahil ngayon tayo ay nilimot ng kahapon

Di na mapipilitang buhayin ang ating pinagsamahan

Ngunit kung sakaling mapadaan

Baka ikaw ay aking tawagan

Dahil minsan tayo ay naging tunay na magkaibigan

## Lyrics

1, 7, 3 and...

Da-da-da-da-da-da

C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree

H is for the happiness in all the family

R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane

I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane

S is for the stocking on the chimney wall

T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall

M is for the mistletoe where everyone is kissed

A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list

S is for the Santa who makes every kid his friend

Be good and he'll bring you everything in a Christmas alphabet

Da-da-da-da-da-da

C is for the coño kids around the Christmas tree

H is for the homeless kids around the Christmas tree

R is for the red tide, madami sa canteen

I is for illegal, all year-round as you can plainly see

S is for the snow, wala noon dito

T is for the traffic, marami tayo no'n

M is for the mayors whom everyone is pissed

A is for the ampons who makes up the concert list

S is for the sweldo pambili ng regalo

Da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da, hey!

C is for the fushcia car we all are asking of

H is for Eraserheads so please don't ask us why

R is for the Aries that's good enough for me

I is for Iraserheads again, as sweet as sugar cane

S is for the santo on the chimney wall

T is for the tansan, may we have them all

M is for the money, money, money, money, money

A is buy our album so we can buy a car

S is for the sorry 'cause we don't know how to rhyme

Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet (again)

Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet (again)

Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet (again)

Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet

## Lyrics

Maraming salamin sa bahay namin

Kahit anong makita ay gugustuhin

Mag-isang nagkakape, nakaupo, atubili (hello, oh)

Walang masabi

Ang araw gumigising kasabay mo

Ulap ay kumakaway sa mga ngiti mo

Alas dose kagabi nag-ring ang telepono

Kumakanta kahit sintunado

Alaskado na naman sa kasama

Kailan ba tayo huling nagkita

Lumubog ang araw, sumikat na naman ang buwan

Maraming tubig sa Pacific Ocean

Ang araw gumigising kasabay mo

Ulap ay kumakaway sa mga ngiti mo

Alas dose kagabi

Nag-ring ang telepono

Kumakanta kahit sintunado.

Paulit-ulit, tuloy-tuloy

Gusto ko ng mani; ikaw kasoy

Tuyo na ang labada

Utak ay hindi pa

Wala pa ring tatalo sa Alaska

Maraming salamin sa bahay namin

Maraming salamin sa bahay namin

Maraming salamin sa bahay namin

Maraming salamin sa bahay namin

## Lyrics

Dear Kim

Kamusta ang bakasyon mo?

Ako heto pa rin nababato

Bad trip talaga itong MERALCO

Bakit brownout pa rin dito

Walang silbi sa bahay

Kundi bumabad sa telepono

O kaya'y kasama ng barkada

Nakatambay sa may kanto

Naalala kita pag umuulan (sembreak)

Naalala kita pag giniginaw (sembreak)

Naalala kita pag kakain na (sembreak)

Naalala kita ilang bukas pa ba

Bago tayo ay magkita

Ako'y naiinip na bawa't oras binibilang

Sabik na masilayan ka-ha-hah

Sira pa rin ang bisikleta

May gas wala namang kotse

Naghihintay ng ulan

Basketball sa banyo

Sana ay may pasok na para at least

Meron ng baon

Cutting classes dating raket

Rock and roll buong taon

Walang kayakap kundi gitara

Nangangati sa kaiisip sa 'yo

Hanggang sa mabutas 'tong maong ko

Tsaka bibili uli ng bago

Hanggang dito na lang ang liham ko

Salamat sa atensyon mo

Tsaka na lang pala ang utang ko

'Pag nakagkita na lang uli tayo, oh

Naalala kita (sembreak)

Naalala kita (sembreak)

Naalala kita (sembreak)
