mais saudades dele...

 

saudades de elliott smith...

 

por vezes recordo-o, sem saber bem porquê.

depois ponho-me a ouvir aquelas suas canções

todas e parece-me ser a primeira vez que as ouço.

noites de verão:

apetece voltar a ouvir

elliott smith

mesmo sem nome só podia ser dele

foi o nick drake e agora o elliott smith

curioso como em tempos depressivos

nos lembramos de finais nada felizes

tenho-o recordado nos últimos dias, sobretudo por ser também um daqueles que merecia ser imortal. 
e hoje, uma dúzia de anos depois, apenas sei que desapareceu muito cedo, cedo demais.

Thought you'd be looking for the next in line to love

Then ignore, put out, and put away

And so you'd soon be leaving me alone like I'm supposed to be

Tonight, tomorrow, and every day

There's nothing here that you'll miss

I can guarantee you this is a cloud of smoke

Trying to occupy space

What a fucking joke

I waited for a bus to separate the both of us

And take me off, far away from you

'Cos my feelings never change a bit

I always feel like shit

I don't know why, I guess that I just do

You once talked to me about love

And you painted pictures of a never never land

And I could have gone to that place

But I didn't understand

I didn't understand

faz hoje dez anos que deixou de ser visto. 
por vezes ainda o ouço e lembro-me dele.




i'll fake it through the day 
with some help from johnny walker red 
send the poison rain down the drain 
to put bad thoughts in my head 
two tickets torn in half 
and a lot of nothing to do 
do you miss me, miss misery 
like you say you do? 

a man in the park 
read the lines in my hand 
told me i'm strong 
hardly ever wrong i said man you mean 

you had plans for both of us 
that involved a trip out of town 
to a place i've seen in a magazine 
that you left lying around 
i don't have you with me but 
i keep a good attitude 
do you miss me, miss misery 
like you say you do? 

i know you'd rather see me gone 
than to see me the way that i am 
but i am in the life anyway 

next door the tv's flashing 
blue frames on the wall 
it's a comedy of errors, you see 
it's about taking a fall 
to vanish into oblivion 
is easy to do 
and i try to be but you know me 
i come back when you want me to 
do you miss me miss misery 
like you say you do?
