CIDADES (XVI)

Lisboa/Damaia, Portugal, 2009



"CITIES" - TALKING HEADS

Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to

(chorus)

I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points and bad points
But it all works out
I'm a little freaked out
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in.



There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there!...A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done



Down el Paso way things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north and come back south
Still got no idea where in the world they are.



Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river.

Da Damaia é só a última.

"I'll tell you what
Why don't we cross the city limit
And head on down the M62
It's only thirty nine miles
And forty five minutes to Manchester
And that's my birth-place, you know".

Eu iria também por aqui. Passe a (minha) pretensão de 10 de Fevereiro.

Nunca percebi a "polémica" com as casas projectadas pelo engº Sócrates, os portugueses amam esta estética. As marquises são os pastéis de nata, o bacalhau, o bolo-rei, dos prédios.
