That night I couldn’t sleep
Dressed up in bed
(He said be there this evening)
His brown eyes tortured me
With promises unsaid
Before long I was waiting for a cab
my stocking tops showed a blue garter bow
I knew he couldn’t walk past
Straightning my nerves on gin
I caught his eye
(He said be there this evening)
The rooom began to spin
I had my opening line
“Is there a cure for my frustration?”
I asked my big infatuation
Stranger’s kiss in late night bars
Please, infatuation, dance
In seconds space dissolved
He dissappeared
I watched the gossip girls begin to sneer
“She won’t go home with him
Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more”
One!
He said with some relief he’d followed me last week
Two!
He saw me walking from the library to West Street
Three!
My back turned showing him the lighters of my thighs
Four!
I watched the girls, soaked up the envy in their eyes
I’m the topper of the Holiday Inn
Smoking Russians and drinking Pimm’s when he walked in
Static sheets of acrylic silk
My stocking tops clasped my thighs and held me in
“Is there a cure for my frustration?”
I asked my big infatuation
Stranger’s kiss in late night bars
Please, infatuation, dance
“Is there a cure for my frustration?”
I asked my big infatuation
Stranger’s kiss in hotel bars
Please, infatuation, dance
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
You find that all her words of kindness linger on,
When she no longer needs you.
She wakes up, she makes up,
She takes her time and doesn’t feel she has to hurry,
She no longer needs you.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
You want her, you need her,
And yet you don’t believe her,
When she says her love is dead,
You think she needs you.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
You stay home, she goes out,
She says that long ago she knew someone but now,
He’s gone, she doesn’t need him.
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head,
You won’t forget her.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
Essa foi a música mais cantada e chorada por mim lá pelos meus quinze anos. Hoje me lembraram que ela existe, então resolvi postá-la aqui:
Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It’s no problem of mine but it’s a problem I find Living a life that I can’t leave behind
There’s no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won’t set you free
But that’s the way that it goes
And it’s what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I’m waiting for that final moment
You’ll say the words that I can’t say
I feel fine and I feel good
I’m feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don’t know what to say
Why can’t we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I’m not sure what this could mean
I don’t think you’re what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I’ll never see just what we’re meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I’m waiting for that final moment
You’ll say the words that I can’t say
A mais clássica música de coração partido…
Lembrei-me dela numa aula, com as coleguinhas cantando e pagando mico…

Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never
coming round
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to
the sound of my tears
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best
of all the years have gone by
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see
the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, Every now and then I get a
little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turn around, Every now and then I get a
little bit helpless and I’m lying like a child in your arms
Turn around, Every now and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry
Turn around, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
INSTRUMENTAL
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, Every now and then I know you´ll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turnaround, But every now and then I know you´ll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there´s no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there´s nothing any better and there´s nothing I just wouldn´t do
Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you’ll only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
E sou suspeitíssima pra falar porque é uma das 3 melhores músicas da minha vida…
Essa música não tem letra e acho que uma letra estragaria uma melodia tão fabulosamente espetacular. Por mais ultrapiegaspracaralho que isso seja, eu acho que essa música dá margem pra tantos sentimentos que cabe a cada um de vocês leitores se darem a liberdade de pensar e dizer o que a música produz em vocês. Eu fico facera e sorridente com ela, acho que ela parece uma música que me diz que tudo vai dar certo, que eu deveria sossegar e somente ficar bem. E claro, um dia queria casar ao som dessa música!
here we go around the world
we spin around on the turnstiles
we create
here we are in caravan
blinders up high were the dreamers
and don’t forget you’re the only one
(you’re the only one)
you hold your kite on a string
don’t sleep too long
cause everything you need is right here
don’t sleep too long
pleasant dreams but please don’t sleep too long
everything you need is right here
don’t sleep too long
pleasant dreams but please don’t sleep too long
here we are in candyland
one million dreams are realizing everyday
here we are in apples corps
four million feet walk right by me everyday
here we are in old New York
ten million eyes stare right through me
and don’t forget you’re not the only one
(not the only one)
who turned your life all around?
Duas meninas, dois corações quebrados e várias músicas que nos acalmam, fazem chorar, fazem gritar, fazem sorrir... tem música pra tudo nesse mundo e o que seria dos seres humanos sem ela?
Não existe melhor remédio pro coração que a música.
