She says she needs me, everybody is going to have to wait

Elbow publicó álbum este año, el fabulantástico The Seldom Seen Kid, que incluye una fabulantástica joyita, emocionante, divertida, pegajosa, sentimental y tremenda: «An audience with the Pope».

Acá, la línea que da pie a todo, como en el origen de las cosas. A veces hace falta ese nivel de felicidad en nuestras vidas. Son los gajes de andar por estos rumbos.

I have an audience with the pope
and I’m saving the world at eight.
But if she says she needs me,
she says she needs, me everybody is going to have to wait.

Quien ande a ese nivel, que pase la fórmula.

Acá les dejamos la letra completa:

Sweet Jesus, I’m on fire
She has the sweetest, darkest eyes
And when it comes into her eyes
I know iron and steel couldn’t hold me

Good God, I’m easily bruised
So often in love to her flame
And the things that she’s asked me to do
Will see a city of saints forgetting his name

I have an audience with the Pope
And I’m saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody’s gonna have to wait

(Where could she be?)
Was that a minute or an hour?
(Where could she be?)
She turns the hours into days
Kill the phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring

(Where could she be?)
No, she won’t come running
(Where could she be?)
The world is turning at her pace
Kill the phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring

I have an audience with the Pope
And I’m saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody’s gonna have to wait

I have an audience with the Pope
And I’m saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody’s gonna have to wait

I have an audience with the Pope
And I’m saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me
She says she needs me everybody’s gonna have to wait
Everybody’s gonna have to wait

  1. Ayer estaba leyendo «La vida nueva» de Orham Pamuk y hubo un párrafo que me recordó al Sensacional d:

    «Vi pasajeros despiadadamente arponeados en los asientos delanteros de un autobús que había atacado por detrás intrépido y artero, a un camión cargado de hierros para la construcción cuyos extremos sobresalían de la caja. Vi cómo resultaba imposible sacar el cadáver atascado del conductor que había conducido su torpe autobús a un precipicio por no aplastar un gato atigrado. Vi cabezas hechas pedazos, cuerpos rasgados, manos arrancadas, conductores que acogían cariñosamente el volante entre sus órganos internos, trozos de cerebro dispersos como hojas de repollo, orejas sangriolentas aún con su pendiente, gafas rotas y otras intactas, espejos, intestinos multicolores cuidadosamente extendidos sobre hojas de periódico, peines, frutas aplastadas, monedas, dientes caídos, biberones, zapatos, todos esos objetos y vidas consagrados deseosos a ese instante.»

    Saludos !
