e (horror!) verifiquei hoje que nunca aqui citei os meus queridos sparks. hoje ninguém sabe quem foram (e ainda são) mas nos anos setenta a banda dos irmãos mael era uma das inevitáveis. a opinião mais comum foi sempre a de serem uma espécie de queen americanos - o que apesar de ser algo simplista não deixa de estar certo. e começo por os receber com a hospitalidade em desfile.




Someday we'll have one extra coastline


We'll tire up the Atlantic


By then we'll be rid of your lot


A shot heard 'round the world will soon be shot

'Til then have some tea and tobacco


Hey Jenny meet your master


Be nice, show him kindness and such


Be kind to our master


But a feeling is a-brewing that we don't need any masters


'Cause we all can be a master and we all can be a king


We speak and we sing the way that you do


And showed you our hospitality on parade


But now we are we, we're no longer you


Ta-rah to that hospitality on parade


Today you're going to find their descendants


In places all around you


You're faced with the easiest task


How best to act a king when always treated like a king


Lunch counters at banks and the theatre


Kind help right there to serve you


Men selling, and girls selling too


And everyone's special


We all are someone special


Yes, we all are someone special


For we all are someone special


Where the customer is king


Whoever you are, whoever you bring


You'll find that hospitality on parade


However you look, you're always a king


Wherever there's hospitality on parade


I'm special, you're special


He's special, she's special


We're all someone special


And I am the king


We speak and we sing the way that you do


And showed you our hospitality on parade


But now we are we, we're no longer you


Ta-rah to that hospitality on parade


Whoever you are, whoever you bring


You'll find that hospitality on parade


However you look, you're always a king

Wherever there's hospitality on parade
