Konkan - I beg your pardon

Tô ouvindo todas as músicas da pasta anos que tão marcadas como não ouvidas desde 2007. Eu sou extremamente ligada nos dados do iTunes, tipo última execução, e nº de reproduções.

Essa música é genial, desde 1996 (pra mim), e desde 1989 (de verdade).
Eu gostava dela como repertório dos anos 80 normal, até entrar na faculdade. Aí um amigo meu aficcionado por anos 80 trouxe ela de volta pra minha vida. E só então eu fui ver a letra dela, e aí aconteceu uma coisa engraçada. Ele achava a música alegre por causa da parte da mulher, que é um sample de I never promised you a rose garden de uma tal de Lynn Anderson, em 76.
Ela diz: "smile for a while and lets be jolly, love shoudn´t be so melancholy, come along and share the good times while we can."
E é a única parte feliz da música! O resto é o cara acabado, cantando pra uma mulher que tá meio nem aí pra ele, mas tb não larga, acusando ela.
Mas pra ele a música é feliz.


There once was a time and there once was a way
We had something going and to my dismay
Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where

And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say
I bring up a topic and you push it away
You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care
Why do I feel you're using me

Are we an item or are we just two
I need some commitments all I ask of you
Your lifestyle can change
Don't be 'fraid what you think's in store

I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose
Your shallow acquaintances what's there to choose
You won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more

So think about it carefully

Smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love souldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

If that's how you want it; that's how it'll be
There's no use in trying or making you see
That love don't come easy you don't know what it's about

To get things together won't take any pain
Don't need to see/hear from you ever again
From this day on listen but no more
Please count me out, and you know what I'm talkin' about

I know now's the time that I went to find something new
You know it's your crime that I'm out to find someone too
