Memories

Esta banda tem a minha idade e esteve na Aula Magna. E eu canto-os hoje como há uns anos, quando pegava numa garrafa (como se fosse um microfone) e cantava com a minha irmã, a plenos pulmões, músicas como esta, que ainda hoje é uma das canções da minha vida:


Always the sun - The Stranglers

How many times have you woken up
and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers
apportion the blame?

Who gets to say?
Who gets to work and who gets to play?
I was always told at school
everybody should get the same.

How many times have you been told
if you don't ask you don't get?
How many liars have taken your money
your Mother said you shouldn't bet?

Who has the fun?
Is it always the man with a gun?
Someone must have told him
if you work to hard you can sweat.

There's always the sun.
There's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun...

How many times has the weatherman
told you stories that made you laugh?
You know, its not unlike the politicians and the leaders,
when they do things by half.

Who gets the job
of pushing the knob?
That sort of responsibility
you draw straws for if you're mad enough.

There's always the sun.
There's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun...
