1a canzone al giorno

Radio Capital ogni tanto racconta degli aneddoti divertenti. Qualche giorno fa ho scoperto questo: Nel 1988 i Prefab Sprout pubblicano il singolo "Cars and girls" dall'album "Fron Langley Park to Memphis". Quello che non sapevo è che la canzone è indirizzata a Bruce Springsteen "accusato" di parlare, nelle sue canzoni, solo di donne e di macchine. Il bello è che recentemenete Bruce ha candidamente confessato che si, nelle sue canzoni parla di macchine e motori ma l'ha fatto senza capirci niente ma soprattutto.... senza nemmeno avere la patente.... E va beh.... Comunque i Prefab Sprout sono i protagonisti di oggi. Buon ascolto e a domani!!!

Cars and girls (Prefab Sprout)

Brucie dreams life's a highway too many roads bypass my way
Or they never begin. Innocence coming to grief
At the hands of life - Stinkin' car thief, that's my concept of sin
Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon?

But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and 
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were 
young?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.

Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul
We are deeply concerned, someone stops for directions,
Something responds deep in our engines, we have all been burned
Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon?

But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and 
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were 
young?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.

Little boy got a hot rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new God
Well this is one race he won't win,
'Cos life's no cruise with a cool chick
Too many folks feelin' car sick, but it never pulls in.
Brucie's thoughts - Pretty streamers
- Guess this world needs its dreamers may they never wake up.

But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and 
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were 
young?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.

But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and 
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were 
young?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls
