Show me a Song

Artist: The Clash
Album : Sandinista
Track : 25
Title : Loose this Skin


Come with me. I won't hide
We'll go away on a ride
We'll meet each day, use time to see
While we're young and almost free

I've got to lose this skin I'm imprisoned in
Got to lose this skin I'm imprisoned in

Title : Broadway



Oh the loneliness
Used to knock me out - harder than the rest


Oh! Mama, Mama look there!
Your children are playing in that street again

Don't you know what happened down there?

A youth of fourteen got shot down there
The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town
The killing clowns, the blood money men
Are shooting those Washington bullets again

Title : Washington Bullets



Oh! Mama, Mama look there!
Your children are playing in that street again

Don't you know what happened down there?

A youth of fourteen got shot down there
The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town
The killing clowns, the blood money men
Are shooting those Washington bullets again

Title : The Call Up


It's up to you not to heed the call-up
'N' you must not act the way you were brought up
Who knows the reasons why you have grown up?
Who knows the plans or why they were drawn up?

It's up to you not to heed the call-up
I don't wanna die!
It's up to you not to hear the call-up
I don't wanna kill!

Title : The Equaliser


As you get weaker
It will get harder
So don't be like him
Keep your bones
Of effort and strength
Don't sell them to him

We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize
We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize

Title : Midnight Log


Working for the devil
You'll have to pay his tax
That means going to see him
Down among the racks
You don't believe in him
but he can wait for you.

You do his work so fine
He'll remember you

Title : The Sound of Sinners


After all this time
To believe in Jesus
After all those drugs
I thought I was Him
After all my lying
And a-crying
And my suffering
I ain't good enough
I ain't clean enough
To be Him

Title : If Music Could Talk


If music could talk!

Which means
Whatever your mind can bring
Like the apple fell off the tree

Pah! Fell right on his head
Yeah many years ago

Title : Let's go Crazy


But you better be careful
You still got to watch yourself

You wanna be crazy
So you wanna go crazy
Let's go crazy

*) Isto hoje foi roubado à descarada. Uma música com o título let's go crazy é bem dificil de ilustrar... Requere muita busca e muito trabalho de pesquisa.
Mas no meio da busca a Pecado Original coloca esta foto e fiquei sem fôlego, completamente Crazy. Completamente.

Title : Corner Soul


Beat the drums tonight, Alphonso
Spread the news all over the grove

Spread the word tonight please, Sammy
They're searching everyhouse on the grove

Is the music calling for a river of blood?

Title : One More Time



The old lady kicks karate
For just a little walk down the street
The little baby he knows kung fu
He tries it on those he meets
Cos its a one more time!

Title : Somebody Got Murdered


But where they were last night
No-one can remember
Somebody got murdered
Goodbye, for keeps, forever
O Show me a Song arrancou ontem, timidamente.



Parece-me que vai ser uma experiência muito engraçada...

O "Black & White TV without sound" é "something special on me".

Veio do filme do Copolla, o "Rumble Fish". O filme é praticamente todo em preto & branco, e o Copolla apenas introduz cor ao focar o peixe no aquário. Baseia-se na vida de dois irmãos, interpretados pelo Mickey Rourke (um motard com todos os ingredientes) e pelo jovem Matt Dilon.

A uma certa altura, os dois caminham pela rua, com um diálogo metafísico. O Rourke, irmão mais velho, é uma pessoa muito calada que caminha sempre com os braços cruzados ao peito. O Matt é um teenager que quer conquistar o mundo. Quando o "puto" pergunta ao irmão mais velho como é que ele sente a vida, o irmão responde "black & white tv without sound".

São tantas, mas tantas, as vezes que me recordo desta frase. Achei que ilustrava muito bem o Show me a Song, embora o mesmo vá incluir fotos a cores. O preto & branco do início é só até começar a aquecer...

A inspiração veio do Paraíso do Miguel e do Pecado Original. São a minha leitura diária desde há muito, muito tempo. Achei que dar um aspecto visual à música que oiço iria ser uma forma de alegrar o meu dia.

Enjoy. Have fun.

(*) E é a segunda vez em dois dias que me refiro a algo que aconteceu em 1983.

Title : The Crooked Beat



Prance! Prance! You want a law to dance?

(*) Esta música, para qualquer um dos meus filhos, será sempre uma canção de embalar. Nunca soube músicas infantis, e sempre os embalei ao som do Crooked Beat.

Title : Look Here (Mose Allison)


Look here!
What d'you think you're
Gonna be doin' next year?
No lie...
How you know you're not
Gonna up and die?
No doubt...

Title : Rebel Waltz


I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz
that was written to be danced on the battlefield

I danced to the song of a voice of a girl
A voice that called "Stand till we fall
we stand till all the boys fall."
