Dentro de unas ocho horas estaré camino de Luxor. Alfredo y yo vamos a estar ocho días recorriendo Egipto. Seguro que nos damos una buena paliza porque somos unos bestias y nos gusta ver todo. Así que imagino que este viaje no será una excepción.
La canción de hoy la escuché anoche, no se si a las tres que antes eran las cuatro o a las tres que volvían a ser las dos. Con esto del cambio de hora te vuelven loco. La escuché con Laura en el fotomatón, al que nos costó llegar por mi habitual despiste y porque está oculto entre andamios. Antes habíamos estado viendo New York, I Love You en la sesión golfa de los Renoir de Plaza de España. La película no está mal, hay historias mejor contadas que otras pero la película merece la pena. Por su música, su retrato de NY y por ver de nuevo a la adorable Natalie Portman.
A todo esto, la canción es The Riverboat Song, una de las canciones por las que decidí (en aquella época) que quería aprender la guitarra. Aunque nunca conseguí tocarla en condiciones.
Hasta la vuelta.

Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song
I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found in love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
Before you lie on your bed
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
And his double
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
I see trouble up ahead
Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
I see double - that's my trouble
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found in love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
Before you lie on your bed
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
And his double
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
I see trouble up ahead
Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
I see double - that's my trouble
