There is a light that never goes out...

Essa música, como todas dos Smiths, me foi apresentada pelo Ricardo Bunnyman, meu amigo-de-fé-irmão-camarada. E pra falar a verdade, eu nunca vi nada nessa música até meus 23 anos de idade... agora, ela faz todo sentido do mundo! Thanks Bunnyman!


There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
who are young and alive,
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see light,
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because It's not my home, It's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass I thought oh God,
my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Take anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Just driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, Oh Lord
No I haven't got one.

There is a light that never goes out...

11 de Maio de 2010 - Notícia Extra: O Brasil perdeu a Copa do Mundo da África.

Sim, perdemos a copa do mundo da África.

Mas... peraí! Hoje é dia 11 de Maio! A copa nem começou ainda...

Pois é... não começou mas pro Brasil já acabou. Hoje, dia 11 de Maio de 2010, ali por volta das 13 horas, quando Dunga, o técnico da seleção brasileira, listou os 23 convocados para ir á África.

Levar Grafite? Felipe Melo? Josué?

Deixar Ronaldinho Gaúcho e Paulo Henrique Ganso em "lista de espera"?

Sou brasileiro, vou sair mais cedo do trabalho, vestir camisa da seleção, gritar e torcer na frente da televisão... mas já espero 2014.

Até lá.

Até o Messi, atual melhor jogador do mundo e adversário do Brasil na Copa perguntou porque Dunga não levou Neymar e Paulo Henrique Ganso. Veja aqui

a 10000 miles from myself...

Hoodoo Gurus... a terceira banda mais famosa (!) da Austrália depois do Midnight Oil e do Men at Work.
Faz tempo que conheço essa música, mas nunca ouvi com atenção. Graças ao comercial da Ford (aquele do "hoje é meu último dia de vida"), acendeu a curiosidade. Domingo frio, pijama, meia e falta de vontade de sair de casa. Peguei o violão, a letra e comecei a cantarolar... ficou na cabeça!



10000 miles away by Hoodoo Gurus

Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin.
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see.
I can see.

Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep,
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat.
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away.
Thousand miles away.

Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's cracked up to be.
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say ?
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very next day.
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away.

Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to make sense
Out of all those opportunities I've lost from trying to sit on the fence
(Now you're flying) But right now I've got no time for yesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday is a thousand miles away.
A thousand miles away.

(Now you're flying) What was that that you were trying to say?
I guess I was a thousand miles away.
Sing it again.

I feel good
