The Absolute Beginners
(David Bowie)
I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
And I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same
CHORUS
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean/sail over
heartaches
second time
Just ike the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed
E ADESSO VOLATE VIA..
Ecco siete pronte; sbattendo le aluccie piano piano si impara a volare.
Pronte a uscire, finalmente.
Via. Il mondo di fuori vi attende. Non abbiate paura e siate prudenti.
Non fatevi prendere dal terrore con la mano sulla maniglia della porta, non uscite nel colmo della
notte, portatevi dietro i documenti e un po' di soldi. Ricordate che non state commettendo nessun reato: a me mi han fermato - come normalmente succede - più di una volta vigili urbani o
polizia, salvo una multa per divieto di svolta, non ci sono problemi di
nessun tipo. Evitate tamarri e coatti - come fa qualunque donna. E come
qualunque donna diffidate dei machos e dei gauchos che abbondano per le
strade. Mantenete sempre la vostra femminilità, il decoro e sopratutto il
sangue freddo. Se non vi sentite sicure ad uscire per le strade del vostro
paesello, fate le vostre prime uscite nell'anonimato della città più vicina:
ricordate che in un grande centro commerciale siete più anonime e protette
che nel più intimo closet di casa vostra.
... E da ultimo: coraggio e
Buona Fortuna, sisters!
LEARNING TO FLY
(Pink Floyd)
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't
keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I.
