Led Zeppelin, R.E.M. e The Smiths

quarta-feira, dezembro 22, 2004

Sabes quando pegas um CD antigo, daqueles que só ouvias uma música, e quando vais ver ele tem altas músicas que passaste a gostar depois? E pensas, "nossa, nunca ouvi essa música antes, e de repente ela esteve aqui esse tempo todo..."

Hoje eu ouvi umas músicas que alguns amigos meus amavam... e me senti tão "dentro" delas. Engraçado, pois eu demorei muito para gostar delas, e hoje acho que elas falam tanto de mim... Aí vão as letras de Dazed and Confused, do Led Zeppelin, e de Losing my Religion, do R.E.M., notoriamente conhecida entre meus amigos de Belém como a *minha* música. E, claro, a música para todos os momentos... How Soon Is Now, dos Smiths.



DAZED AND CONFUSED

Been dazed and confused so long it's not true.
I wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talking, few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below! Yeah

You hurt and abuse, tellin' all of your lies.
Run 'round sweet baby, lord, how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby I don't know where you been
Gonna' love you baby, here I come again

Everyday I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned pay.
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're going, all in all, just where you been,
Sweet little baby I want you again.

Oh yeah, all right, all right

Been dazed and confused so long it's not true
Wanted a woman never bargained for you
take it easy baby, let them say what they will
Toung'll wag so much when i send you the bill



LOSING MY RELIGION

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I’m
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream



HOW SOON IS NOW

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There’s a club, if you’d like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die

When you say it’s gonna happen now
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See, I’ve already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
