Nostalgia

Vai voltar a tocar em Portugal, e em sítios pouco óbvios, tipo Baixa da Banheira e Tomar, o grande Lloyd Cole. É verdade que há muitos anos que ele já só tem uma certa grandeza, em termos de popularidade, aqui em Portugal. Mas até por isso é sempre um prazer aconchegante recordar aquelas canções, que marcaram a juventude. Por alguma razão, quando penso em Lloyd Cole penso no Liceu de Oeiras...
E de todas as canções, uma. A canção dos Lloyd Cole & the Commotions. A canção.


Forest Fire

She crossed herself
as she put on her things
She has promised once before not to live this way
If she don’t calm down
she will burn herself out

Like a forest fire, well doesn’t that make you smile
If you don’t slow down, I swear that I’ll come round
And mess up your place, let’s go for a spin
They say we shouldn’t even know each other
And that we’ll be undone

Don’t it make you smile like a forest fire
I believe in love, I’ll believe in anything
That’s gonna get me what I want and get me off my knees
Then we’ll burn your house down, don’t it feel so good
There’s a forest fire every time we get together

Hey pick you up, put you down
Rip you up and spin you round
Just like we said we would
’cause we’re a forest fire

Believe you me, we’ll tear this place down
If we get caught in this wind
then we could burn the ocean
If we get caught in this scene
we’re gonna be undone
It’s just a simple metaphor, it’s for a burning love
Don’t it make you smile
like a forest fire.
