uma que eu poderia ter escrito

The Night I Was Going To Die
the night I was going to die
I was sweating on the bed
and I could hear the crickets
and there was a cat fight outside
and I could feel my soul dropping down through the
mattress
and just before it hit the floor I jumped up
I was almost too weak to walk
but I walked around and turned on all the lights
and then I went back to bed
and dropped it down again and
I was up
turning on all the lights
I had a 7-year-old daughter
and I felt sure she wouldn't want me dead
otherwise it wouldn't have
mattered
but all that night
nobody phoned
nobody came by with a beer
my girlfriend didn't phone
all I could hear were the crickets and it was
hot
and I kept working at it
getting up and down
until the first of the sun came through the window
through the bushes
and then I got on the bed
and the soul stayed
inside at last and
I slept.
now people come by
beating on the doors and windows
the phone rings
the phone rings again and again
I get great letters in the mail
hate letters and love letters.
everything is the same again.

polaris

Eu fiz questão de esquecer
Lágrimas caladas esquecer
Derramei teu nome pelo chão
E nada mais crescia nesse chão

Vai voltar por não ter aonde ir
Vai voltar, voltar
E me acordar.

Ta aí uma banda daqui que não soa (graças ao bom gód) como bandagaúcha. Sim, eu tenho uma implicância com esse ar de bandagaúcha mesmo. Tudo me lembra TNT/CachorroGrande e eu fico enjoada.
Ah, a banda citada ali é a Pública. Aquela que eu perdi o show (que novidade) semana passada e me arrependo fortemente. Não foi por um bom motivo, fato.
Só pra não causar polêmica, vale lembrar de outra que não me soa como bandagaúcha: Superguidis. Esses sim, uso a camiseta mesmo sendo larga-e-curta-e-transparente.
