Secção: bonitos.




Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call / Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall / You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam / And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen / Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late / The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate / Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass / I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast / Never meant to last, never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks / I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin' / Down to rock bottom again / Just a few friends, just a few friends

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile / Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day / Still could manage to smile / Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found / My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around / I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown


I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

Jack Johnson, revisited.

 O Danny fazia 30 anos e achei que tinha de marcar a data. Entre some hand made stuff  havia o bilhete (para o dia 30, curiosamente) que me viria a ser retribuído com um gémeo, cerca de um mês depois, desta feita, a propósito do meu aniversário :).


A abrir, esteve o G-Love com os Special Sauce (main attraction for both of us) e depois veio o Jack. Já tinha passado a moda, o cd novo não era mais que o mesmo, e nós íamos a contar com e apesar de tudo isso. No final - já com o céu estrelado aceso -, o G-Love juntou-se a ele (o Donovan também? ou já estou a inventar?) para o momento alto da noite. Porque, é verdade, a voz já pouco toca senão for acompanhada.
Mas é a música que marca o tempo.
