UNA VERDAD INDISCUTIBLE

Only The Good Die Young

Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done...
Only the good die young

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
But that never hurt no one
Come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
And only the good die young

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
And a cross of gold
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun...
And only the good die young

You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
She never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me?

In Memoriam: Colin Michael White Muller (1932-2007)

One light, one guiding light had fade out.
Colin was a man, like you and I.
With a life, perhaps more interesting than yours or mine.
Read! he used to yell us in an unique way.
The voice of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Blake, Pope, Johnson, Smart, Burns, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, and many others,was understandable for many of us thanks to him.
With a great and simple kindness he talked to us in an intimate way to everyone.
He was rough but also kind to anyone.
A miner, a sailor, a teacher, a friend...
A believer in many things that probably you would agree.
The man, the teacher, the guiding light had fade out.
The world is more empty now than ever.

A solo unos dias...

Solo faltan unos cuantos dias para que este genial crooner nos visite. Desde hace tiempo tenia la inquietud de poner en este blog alguna de sus canciones. Me gusta mucho "A matter of trust" rock and roll puro, sin complicaciones y que sin embargo todavia suena bien:

A Matter of Trust

Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
And they may not want it to end
But it will, it's just a question of when
I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
But that won't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust

I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
I can't offer you proof
But you're gonna face a moment of truth
It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust

You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for God's sake don't shut me out

This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it
Whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust

I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of
Believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong

Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust.
