Love Song #1


Take me out tonight
where there's music and there's people
who are young and alive.
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one anymore.

Take me out tonight
because I want to see people
and I want to see life.
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home,
because it's not my home, it's their home
and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
crashes in to us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
well the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

Take me out tonight
take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care.
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
but then a strange fear gripped me
and I just couldn't ask.

Take me out tonight
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care.
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one
no, I haven't got one.

And if a double-decker bus
crashes in to us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out.

There is a Light That Never Goes Out, The Smiths

La canción más romántica no es una historia de vidas eternamente felices, de promesas vanas del amor celestial. No es flechazo a primera vista ni re-encuentro después de años. No menciona al destino y no le atribuye la magia a las estrellas.

Habla de un escape, de la gratitud, de la compañía y de la circunstancia.

Yo estoy agradecido porque el amor es la mejor compañía para escapar de la mera circunstancia.

Two HUndred Bars
