God’s away on business
Publicado em , por macaco
O Tom Waits tem destas coisas: muitas músicas boas e muitas músicas geniais.
O God’s away on business, do Blood money, é um bom exemplo. Uma música que vale a pena ouvir várias vezes, especialmente tomando atenção à letra. E para isso, aqui está uma ajudinha:
God’s away on business
Tom Waits
I’d sell your heart to the junkman baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you’re looking for someone
to pull you out of that ditch
You’re out of luck, you’re out of luck
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There’s leak, there’s a leak,
in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who ore the ones that we kept in charge
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God’s Away, God’s away
God’s away on Business. Business. God’s Away,
God’s Away God’s Away on Business. Business.
Digging up the dead with
a shovel and a pick
It’s a job, it’s a job
Bloody moon rising with
a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It’s all over. It’s all over, It’s all over
There’s a leak, there’s a leak,
in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God’s away. God’s away, God’s away
On Business. Business.
God’s away, God’s away. God’s away
On Business.
Goddamn there’s always such
a big temptation
To be good, To be good
There’s always free cheddar in
a mousetrap, baby
It’s a deal, it’s a deal
God’s away, God’s away, God’s away
On Business. Business.
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby,
Let her ring, let her ring
God’s Away, God’s Away
God’s Away on Business.
Business……….
