Doru, pe scurt

ca pe lung stiti deja unde-l puteti gasi.

Si uite cum, din vorba-n vorba, am gasit un blues, the bluest one, care sa-i descrie Dorului, sotul, inca, legitim al Elei, starea de spirit in care se balaceste neputincios, ca o rima-n ac. Cum care Ela? Ela din postul precedent.

Dar daca am gasit texte care sa se potriveasca atit exaltarii Elei, cit si suferintelor Doruletului, asta nu inseamna ca voi cauta si un ceva sa i se potriveasca persanului. Ala n-are decit sa si-o potriveasca singur, ca n-am ajuns „providerul” Iranului in conditiile actuale de embargou.

Obama’s Christmas dream

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more?

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

World pollution, there’s no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

An ocean of love

I’m crazy about this blues. Possibly the best ever. An ocean of love, if you ask me.

 The Bluest Blue

I couldn’t wait to see you – waiting by the door
There’s no one there to meet me – and your clothes are on the floor
Sorry if I hurt you – and I made you cry
Couldn’t stand to see you – with another guy
It’s the bluest blues – and it cuts me like a knife
It’s the bluest blues – since you walked out of my life

Couldn’t really tell you – how you hurt my pride
Something broke within me – down inside
I never knew I loved you – til you went away
Now the loneliness surrounds me – everyday
It’s the bluest blues – since you walked out of the door
It’s the bluest blues – cause I won’t see you no more

I’m sorry if I failed you – if somehow I’m to blame
It’s the bluest blues I’m feeling – it’s a cryin’ shame
I just can’t live without you – face another day
It’s the bluest blues I’m feeling, and it’s here to stay
It’s the bluest blues, and it cuts me to the bone
It’s the bluest blues, when you can’t find your way home
