1a canzone al giorno

La ragazza degli Spandau


La canzone di oggi arriva dall'ormai lontano 1984.... sigh... Riascoltata ieri nel programma "Mythology" su RDF a cantarla sono gli Spandau Ballet che, come più volte scritto anche in queste pagine, si dividevano il mondo dei fan e soprattutto delle fancon i Duran Duran di Simon Le Bon e gli Wham! di George Michael. La canzone del giorno è "Highly strung" dall'album Parade. Highly strung (Spandau Ballet)This is the song of little JoShe's not the girl I used to knowForever screaming all the day and nightShe used to be a diplomatBut now she's down the laundromatThey washed her mind and now she finds it hardI know her nameBut now she never seems the sameShe don't talk to me'Cause she can't take no sympathyBecause she's highly strungOh, highly strung, she's undoneHighly strungOh, highly strung, she's undoneShe's stepping out upon the ledgeShe's got a gun against her headShe's wired up to blow the power lineShe's walking out upon the knifeShe'll take you to the edge of lifeJust like the song, the pressure is on againI know her nameHo, but now she never seems the sameShe don't talk to me'Cause she can't take no sympathyBecause she's highly strungOh, highly strung, she's undoneHighly strungOh, highly strung, she's undoneNo, no, noI know her nameHo, but now she never seems the sameShe don't talk to me'Cause she can't take no sympathyBecause she's highly strung (highly strung)Oh, highly strung, she's undoneHighly strung (she's oh)Oh, highly strung, she's undoneHighly strung (highly strung)Oh, highly strung, she's undoneHighly strung (she's oh)Oh, highly strung, she's undoneThis is the song of little JoShe's not the girl I used to know
