Questo è il settimo album dei Roxy Music.
Scaruffi gli ha dato 3 su 10.
Scaruffi è un critico musicale.
Io una volta, insieme ad un amico, mi sono intrufolato dentro un cantiere per recuperare un pallone.
Mentre sto scrivendo questo sono a petto nudo.
Nel giardino d'Inghilterra talpe morte giacciono nelle loro tane, nella pioggia i tunnel ciechi si sgretolano sotto i piedi, non è una vergogna?
Non puoi vederle?
Non riesci a vederle?
Le radici non riescono a trattenerle, gli insetti le consolano.
Non voglio odiare, voglio solo crescere.
Perché non posso lasciarmi vivere ed essere libero?
Invece muoio lentissimamente da solo; non conosco altre vie.
Ho così tanta paura.
Me stesso non mi lascia essere soltanto me stesso e così sono completamente solo...
Chiamatela Figlia della Luna che danza nelle acque poco profonde di un fiume.
Adorabile Figlia della Luna che sogna all'ombra di un salice.
Parla agli alberi della strana ragnatela.
Dorme sui gradini di una fontana.
Dirige con bacchette d'argento la canzone degli uccelli notturni.
Attende il sole sulla montagna.
E' una Figlia della Luna che raccoglie i fiori in un giardino.
Adorabile Figlia della Luna che va alla deriva negli echi delle ore.
Naviga nel vento in un candido vestito.
Lascia cadere pietre tonde su una meridiana.
Gioca a nascondino con i fantasmi dell'alba aspettando un sorriso da un Figlio del Sole.
Come si può copiare ed incollare dei testi così belli (Pawn Hearts) nella recensione di un album del genere?
I miei denti tritano una barretta ai cereali e cioccolato.
Come piume di un raro metallo spumato, o come vino d'argento versato in nave spaziale.
Elenco tracce testi e video
01 In the Midnight Hour (03:12)
(Cropper,Pickett)
I´m gonna wait till the midnight hour
That´s when my love comes tumbling down
I´m gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there´s no one else around
I´m gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
I´m gonna wait till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eye
I´m gonna wait till the midnight hour
That´s when my love begins to shine
I´m gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all things I told you
In the midnight hour
02 Oh Yeah (04:52)
Some expression in your eyes
overtook me by surprise
where was I
how was I to know ?
How we can drive to a movie show
when the music is here in my car ?
There's a band playing on the radio
with a rhythm of rhyming guitars
they're playing
oh yeah
on the radio.
And so it came to be our song
and so on through all summer long
day and night drifting on into love.
Driving you home from a movie show
so in tune to the sounds in my car.
There's a band playing on the radio
...
It's some time since we said goodbye
and now we lead our seperate lives.
But where am I
where can I go ?
Driving alone to a movie show
so I turn to the sounds in my car.
There's a band playing on the radio
and it's drowing the sound of my tears.
They're playing
oh yeah
on the radio.
03 Same Old Scene (03:58)
Nothings last forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
Young loving may be
Oh so mean
Will I still survive
The same old scene?
In our lighter moments
precious few
It's all that heavy weather
We're going through
When I turn the corner
I can't believe
It's still the same old movie
That's haunting me
Young loving may be
Oh so mean
Trying to revive
The same old scene
Young loving may be
So extreme
Maybe we should try
The same old scene
(repeat 3x to fade)
Nothings last forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
04 Flesh and Blood (03:13)
(Ferry)
My friend's flesh and blood
She lies overtime
You´d nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time
I´m not that kind
My friend's flesh and blood
Night size - perfect ten
So rude - she´s no good
But as she says
It pays to win
Play to win
She plays to win
My friend's flesh and blood
Street wise for her time
You´d nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time
07 Eight Miles High (04:54)
(Clark,Crosby,McGuinn)
Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You find you´re
Stranger than known
Signs in the street
That say where you´re going
Are somewhere
Just being their own
Nowhere is there
Warmth to be found
Just those afraid
Of losing their ground
Rain grey town
Known for its sound
In places
Small faces around
Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living
Some standing
Alone
09 No Strange Delight (04:46)
(Ferry/Manzanera)
So there goes your life
Disappeared from ever loving friends
And now a slave to obsession
Your strange delight
You lie awake
How your senses ache
Shaking off the night
Is there more strange delight?
There goes your self
In the clear forever out of line
And there you´ll stay through obsession
Your strange delight
Can´t bear this heat
You poor heart skips a beat
Tearing off the years
To when you really cared
So where's your soul?
In the field where every story ends
And then how plain your obsession
Your strange delight
So this is hell
Not so hard to tell
Better men than I
Have tried your strange delight
Is there no strange delight?
10 Running Wild (05:01)
(Ferry/Manzanera)
There's that melody again
Burning through my head it does me in
Turns me right around to my old friend
Wonder how you've changed, are you still
Running wild - like you do
When all you dreams come true
Happy days you pretend
That your love will never end
There's that melody again
Where it's coming from I must have been
Drifting out of time, now I´m in
Underneath you'll find I'm just the same
Running wild - like you do
When all your dreams fall through
I can always pretend
That I'll fall in love again
Running wild - like we do
If only dream came true
I could even pretend
That I'll fall in love again
