Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red right hand

4 comentários:

Jose disse...: "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

A.R.A disse...: 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
