Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red right hand


4 comentários:

  1. "Red Right Hand" se fosse a "Left Right Hand" ia dar ao mesmo.

    Take a little walk to the edge of town
    and go across the tracks
    Where the viaduct looms,
    like a bird of doom
    As it shifts and cracks
    Where secrets lie in the border fires,
    in the humming wires
    Hey man, you know
    you're never coming back
    Past the square, past the bridge,
    past the mills, past the stacks
    On a gathering storm comes
    a tall handsome man
    in a dusty black coat with
    a red right hand

    He'll wrap you in his arms,
    tell you that you've been a good boy
    He'll rekindle all the dreams
    it took you a lifetime to destroy
    He'll reach deep into the hole,
    heal your shrinking soul,
    but there won't be a single thing
    that you can do
    He's a god, he's a man,
    he's a ghost, he's a guru
    They're whispering his name
    through this disappearing land
    But hidden in his coat
    is a red right hand

    You don't have no money?
    He'll get you some
    You don't have no car?
    He'll get you one
    You don't have no self-respect,
    you feel like an insect
    Well don't you worry buddy,
    'cause here he comes
    Through the ghettos and the barrio
    and the bowery and the slum
    A shadow is cast wherever he stands
    Stacks of green paper in his
    red right hand

    You'll see him in your nightmares,
    you'll see him in your dreams
    He'll appear out of nowhere but
    he ain't what he seems
    You'll see him in your head,
    on the TV screen
    And hey buddy, I'm warning
    you to turn it off
    He's a ghost, he's a god,
    he's a man, he's a guru
    You're one microscopic cog
    in his catastrophic plan
    Designed and directed by
    his red right hand

    1. Stacks of green paper
      In his red right hand.

  3. Não José... não iria dar no mesmo porque Ulster nos 80 pela mão dos unionistas coajudados pelo exército ingles fizeram correr muito sangue com muita miséria à mistura.
    Portanto José quando não se sabe ou nada tem a acrescentar o melhor é sempre ficar calado pois com os muros do free world ninguém se amofina.
    Mas esta red right hand cai que nem uma luva para tapar os 850 milhões que ps enterrou no novo banco.

    Não sei se esta belíssima canção (tema de uma belíssima série Peaky Blinders) foi escolhida pelo seu duplo sentido mas se assim foi
