Em casa corro pra minha coleção do New Model Army. Coloco o "IMPURITY" pra tocar. Como amo esse disco. Um dos primeiros cds que comprei na vida. E vem a faixa 6, "Marrakesh": Justin Sullivan e sua música, pela África. Preciso de um drink: uma Caipirinha, pra me situar e imaginar qual será o próximo destino, como ele diz na faixa 11 do mesmo disco: "Before I Get Old".
MARRAKESH ¶
They found us in the courtyard
At our table in the shade
We toasted our last few moments
And then the end came
They took us back to the airstrip
In that beaten up old car
And we rattled across
the African scrubland
In silence
Our hands locked together
And with cold steel cuffs
Sometimes I Wish It was still that way
Now a whole world has died since then
So many faithless days
I was born alone and lucky
And I´ve just used to it that way
My dice still roll in sixes
And yours still turn up ones
And I have taken my good fortune
And I´ve run and run
But I always swore I´d come back for you
Is it to late now to come back for you?
Now beneath this lonely junction
On the northbound M6
We spray our words of signature
On the concrete bridge
And between the words of wisdom
And the slogans of despair
Someone´s just gone and written
“I´m sorry” there
Well I always swore I´d come back for you
Is it too late now to come back for you?
You’re the only one I´ll ever love.
(SULLIVAN-1988)
