Everest




Algo original: una cancion de amor exagerada (y desesperada).

Un tema que me gustó desde que lo escuché. Me pareció original la forma en que el tipo le dice a su ex cuán grande es su amor por ella/el (no da clave de sexo, lo cual me parece buenisimo en una cancion) comparandolo con cosas gigantes como paises, cosas, un oceano, etc! Y de movida arranca bajón: "me compre un pez dorado para que me haga compañía". Re loser el pibe!

Supernaturals, banda britanica que tuvo 8 hits allá entre el 96 y 99. Este fue el ultimo.

Cuando busqué la letra para el flogueo original, noté que está tambien muy bueno todo lo demás por lo que la reproduzco completa.
Me costo conseguirla porque

a) no fue facil
b) un sitio tenia las letras del album respectivo y cuando voy al link del tema.....dice que no la tiene
c) el que finalmente tiene "Everest" no pone la parte que mas me interesaba de todas, las de las comparaciones. En su lugar un choto "improvisation to fade" entre parentesis!
d) Hilando mas fino encuentro otro link, pero tiene el mismo error de la otra pagina, dando vuelta unos versos en la parte final y omitiendo el "bigger than India".

El blog es todo un sacerdocio!


"Everest"

I bought a goldfish to keep me company
In these dark days when you're not here with me
I walk round Safeway on my own
Look in the freezer cabinet
See my reflection, and I'm all alone

You dropped me like a satellite dropping from the sky

My tears could fill a swimming pool,
I break down in front of my macho friends and I feel so uncool
I lie in the bath and think about your smile
Talk to myself and I'm ok. for a while

You dropped me like a waitress drops a tray

My love for you is bigger than Everest
Baby, you're the best,
Your love for me is an afterthought
Baby, I was just a prototype
For the guy that you've now got

I watch the war film on Channel Four
I don't care if the hero gets his head blown off any more
I sit out the back underneath the stars,
Kick the heads off garden gnomes
And I wonder where you are

You dropped me like a goalie drops the ball

My love for you is bigger than Everest
Baby, you're the best,
Your love for me is an afterthought
Baby I was just a prototype
For the guy that you've now got

My love for you is bigger than Canada
Baby, it's bigger than India
My love for you is bigger than a ten tonne truck
Baby, it's bigger than a jumbo jet
Baby you ain't seen nothing yet

It's bigger than an elephant
It's bigger than a minibus
It's bigger than a D.I.Y. superstore
It's bigger than the Atlantic Ocean
It's bigger than Birmingham
It's bigger than France
It's biggger than life and death and love itself
It's bigger than time
it's bigger than everything
