Anos 80

Ontem fizeste-me lembrar que houve uma época em que vestia de preto, que tinha o cabelo espetado e usava umas botas que, se não eram da tropa, andavam lá perto. Fases. Pois. O meu grupo de amigos, com algumas excepções, curtia muito as depressões associadas à música que ouviam, povoando o imaginário de crucifixos, drogas e alucinações. Eu, com eles, tinha a cumplicidade das canções e das vestimentas. Ontem, bright eyes, fizeste-me lembrar tudo isso e as canções desse tempo, que também partilhavas e partilhas. The Felt, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Sound, The Mission, Sisters of Mercy, eu sei lá que mais. A nossa juventude teve, de facto, a melhor banda sonora do mundo. E canções de amor como esta:

REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN
The Smiths

It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old

It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old


Reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Oh ...


Fifteen minutes with you
Well, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people said that you were virtually dead
And they were so wrong


Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, well, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people said that you were easily led
And they were half-right
Oh, they ... oh, they were half-right, oh


It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
It's time that the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old


Oh, reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Ah ... oh ...


Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but I do.
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do.
Oh, I ... oh, I do
Oh ...


I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
But "take me to the haven of your bed"
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You're the bee's knees
But so am I


Oh, meet me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I'll take it slowly
Oh ...


Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but I do.
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, no, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do.
Oh, I ... I do
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
