Triste ma bellissima, l'ascolto in questi giorni. Come spesso accade nelle canzoni di Darren Hayes ci sono note autobiografiche della sua infanzia tribolata. Ed io amo questa canzone"Neverland"
NeverlandLong agoWhen mercury descended high on the moonFar belowWhere little hands are making shapes in the roomThe shadows they danceAnd they cheer up this placeThe faceThat's staring through the tiny crack in the doorEyes so wideHe's never seen a women fall on the floorI swear daddy's killed her this timeShould I make a rocket?Should I try to fly away?Should I make a hammer?Should I try to smash his face?Should I make a bullet?Should I try to shoot the gun?I'm sure the judge will let me off real soon.Long agoWhen saturn tried to find a way past the sunDeep insideA little boy is turning pain into funThe pencils, the crayons, the paint colors runThe plansAre forming slowly made with scissors and glueEyes so wideHe's telling mommy all the things he can doHe'll sketch a contraption to save them for sureHe can draw an alienHe can come and take them homeHe can draw a cartoonHe can draw a safety hatchHe can draw a hot bathHe can plug a toaster inAnd wait till daddy's nice and warmToss it inAnd then when he's goneThere's a neverland of funTake a loaded gun.Take a shot of rum.Take a poison rat.There's a lesson in that.No more closing fists.No more face to hit.No more bloody nose or apologetic roses.Long ago when mercury descended high on the moon.Should I make a rocket?Should I try to fly away?Far below little hands are making shapes in the room.Should I make a hammer?Should I try to smash his face?Long ago when Saturn tried to find a way past the sun.Should I draw are cartoon?Should I draw an alien?Deep inside a little boy is turning pain into fun.Should I draw a hot bath?Should I throw the toaster in?
