Paul e Art... pugili


Oggi..... capolavoro!!! Ovviamente grazie ai buoni uffici di... Radio Capital. Tra le canzoni passate ieri questo bellissimo brano della coppia Simon & Garfunkel che tra la fine degli anni sessanta e l'inizio degli anni settanta hanno scritto dei veri e propri capolavori. Uno, secondo me, è questa canzone. "The boxer" del 1970 dall'album "Bridge over trouble water". Buon ascolto e a domani!!!The boxer (Simon & Garfunkel)I am just a poor boythough my story's seldom toldI've squandered my resistanceFor a pocketful of mumblesSuch are promisesAll lies and jestsStill a man hears what he wants to hearAnd disregards the restWhen I left my home and my familyI was no more than a boyIn the company of strangersIn the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scaredLaying low, seeking out the poorer quartersWhere the ragged people goLooking for the places only they would knowLie-la-lieLie-la-lie-lie-lie-la-lieLa-la-lieLie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-la-la-lie-lieAsking only workman's wagesI come lookin' for a job but I get no offersJust a come-on from the whores on Seventh AvenueI do declare, there were times when I was so lonesomeI took some comfort thereLie-la-lieLie-la-lie-lie-lie-la-lieLa-la-lieLie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-la-la-lie-lieAnd I'm laying out my winter clothesAnd wishing I was gone, goin' homeWhere the New York City winters aren't bleedin' meBleedin' me, goin' homeIn the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his tradeAnd he carries the remindersOf every glove that laid him down or cut him'Til he cried out in his anger and his shameI am leaving, I am leavingBut the fighter still remainsLie-la-lieLie-la-lie-lie-lie-la-lieLa-la-lieLie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-la-la-lie-lie
