1a canzone al giorno

Bel titolo vero? Certe volte mi sorprendo anche io di quello che può partorire la mia fantasia!! Oggi tocca proprio a loro, i mitici "Dire Straits" e alla chitarra di Mark Knopfler. Ho scelto "Tunnel of love" un po' a richiesta e un po' perchè è una bella canzone per svegliarsi e mi ricorda pomeriggi a leggere un bellissimo libro sul divano di casa a San Giusto. Si tratta di "Cella 2455 Braccio della morte" di Caryl Chessman. Lo consiglio a tutti. La cella era proprio la sua. Chessman era un condannato a morte che prima di essere giustiziato ha scritto la sua storia in alcuni libri molto belli e che negli ultimi anni sono stati ristampati. Quello che leggevo io era una prima edizione degli anni 50 e ricordo bene che la colonna sonora che mi accompagnava erano proprio i Dire Straits. E allora buon mercoledì e buon ponte per chi lo fa (io no... sigh...). Da domani inizia Lucca Comics e vi aspetta una tre giorni di blog molto... cartoon.
P.S.: aggiunta sulla colonna di destra la sezione giochi. Per ora troverete "Il pranzo è servito" dall'omonimo gioco tv condotto prima da Corrado e poi da Claudio Lippi.

Tunnel of love (Dire Straits)

Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that i choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
and i been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
and i don't know where i'll be tonight but i'd always tell you where i am

in a screaming ring of faces i seen her standing in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
i put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
i had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

it's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this
it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say
hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl i dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway oh rockaway rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids

she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket i got a keepsake and a kiss
and in the roar of the dust and diesel i stood and watched her walk away
i could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love, on the tunnel of love

and now i'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
