De todas las versiones que llevo escuchadas esta mañana, hoy me voy a quedar con esta. Qué finura, por dios.
Deborah Bone
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah (Deborah)
It never suited ya
And they said that when we grew up
We'd get married, and never split up
Oh, we never did it, although I often thought of it
Your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
When I came 'round to call
You didn't notice me at all
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there two o'clock by the fountain down the road"
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
And Martyn said that you were the best
Oh, the boys all loved you, but I was a mess
I had to watch them try and get you undressed
We were friends, that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh, it meant nothing to you
'Cause you were so popular
Your house was very small
With woodchip on the wall
When I came 'round to call
You didn't notice me at all
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there two o'clock by the fountain down the road"
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
And when I came 'round to call
You didn't notice me at all
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there two o'clock by the fountain down the road"
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
Would you like to come and meet me, maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me, maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

espurio -ria. ‘Falso o ilegítimo’: «Discriminado por razones dudosas, espurias, ajenas a sus méritos» (Grandes Aires [Esp. 2002]). Procede del latín spurius; es, pues, errónea la forma
espúreo, que escriben por ultracorrección incluso personas cultas.

allí estás tú
que, pobladas de recuerdos,
encadenan mi soñar,
pero el viajero que huye
tarde o temprano detiene su andar.

D’Agostino Funeral Home. Haskell. New Jersey
de España, ha fallecido el sábado
11 de mayo, a consecuencia
de un accidente. Su cadáver
está tendido en D’Agostino
Funeral Home. Haskell. New Jersey.
Se dirá una misa cantada
a las 9.30 en St. Francis.
con sol y piedra, y que termina
sobre una mesa, en D’Agostino,
con flores y cirios eléctricos.
Es una historia que comienza
en una orilla del Atlántico.
Continúa en un camarote
de tercera, sobre las olas
—sobre las nubes— de las tierras
sumergidas ante Platón.
Halla en América su término
con una grúa y una clínica,
con una esquela y una misa
cantada, en la iglesia St. Francis.
da lo mismo para morir:
el que se aroma de romero
el tallado en piedra o en nieve,
el empapado de petróleo.
Da lo mismo que un cuerpo se haga
piedra, petróleo, nieve, aroma.
Lo doloroso no es morir
acá o allá…
Manuel del Río. Sobre el mármol
en D’Agostino, pastan toros
de España, Manuel, y las flores
(funeral de segunda,
caja que huele a abetos del invierno),
cuarenta dólares. Y han puesto
unas flores artificiales
entre las otras que arrancaron
al jardín… Libérame Dómine
de morte aeterna… Cuando mueran
James o Jacob verán las flores
que pagaron Giulio o Manuel…
garras de águila. Dies irae.
Lo doloroso no es morir
Dies illa acá o allá,
sino sin gloria…
fecundaron la tierra toda,
la empapaban de la aventura.
Cuando caía un español
se mutilaba el universo.
Los velaban no en D’Agostino
Funeral Home, sino entre hogueras,
entre caballos y armas. Héroes
para siempre. Estatuas de rostro
borrado. Vestidos aún
sus colores de papagayo,
de poder y de fantasía.
por ninguna locura hermosa.
(Hace mucho que el español
muere de anónimo y cordura,
o en locuras desgarradoras
entre hermanos: cuando acuchilla
pellejos de vino derrama
sangre fraterna). Vino un día
porque su tierra es pobre. El mundo
Libérame Dómine es patria.
Y ha muerto. No fundó ciudades.
No dio su nombre a un mar. No hizo
más que morir por diecisiete
dólares (él los pensaría
en pesetas) Réquiem aetérnam.
Y en D’Agostino lo visitan
los polacos, los irlandeses,
los españoles, los que mueren
en el week-end.
Definitivamente todo
ha terminado. Su cadáver
está tendido en D’Agostino
Funeral Home. Haskell. New Jersey.
Se dirá una misa cantada
por su alma.
a reflejar aquí una esquela
de un periódico de New York.
Objetivamente. Sin vuelo
en el verso. Objetivamente.
Un español como millones
de españoles. No he dicho a nadie
que estuve a punto de llorar.
a devastating break up song hidden
A half full moon in Mexico City I think of you
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
And you've been seeing other people from a nearby town
Been obsessing and getting depressed about us
Excess baggage and other stupid band stuff
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
Was that the very last time you really looked at me
I'm in training to become as cold as ice
I'm determined to protect my feelings to disguise
Because there is no one above you though I try
Would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name
Over and over and over and over again
I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
And when I wake up in the morning it's your face I see
Oh, you once made me feel less afraid
You've got me pouring myself over this page
Ooh, I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
Tom y Jerry
She left here last early spring, is livin' there I hear
Say for me that I'm all right though new things come and go
She might think that I've forgotten her but don't tell her it isn't so
But to think of how she left that night, still gives me a chill
And though our separation, well it chilled me to the heart
She still lives on inside of me, we've never been apart
Who always has respected her for doing what she did
For I know it had to be that way, it was written in the cards
But the bitter taste still lingers on, it all came down so hard
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off
Well, either I'm too sensitive or else I'm just gettin' soft
I know every scene by heart 'cause they all went by so fast
If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find
Tell her, she can look me up if she's got the time
Banana moon is shining in the sky
Feel like I'm in heaven when you're with me
Know that I'm in heaven when you smile
Though we're stuck here on the ground, I got something that I've found
And it's you
And I don't have to take no trip to outer space
All I have to do is look at your face
And before I know it, I'm in orbit around you
Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you
When I see your constellation, honey, you're my inspiration, and it's you
The sun is breaking through the clouds don't you, don't you know it's true?
Honey, all the other stars seem dim around you
Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you
When I see your smiling face, honey
I know nothing ever going to take your place, and it's you
And it's you, and it's you, shoo-be-doo, ba-da-da
no one can dress cooler than you, Stan
Fino, descarnado y sin ofrecerte un asidero. Por momentos insoportable. Pero no todo el mundo opina lo mismo.
Las diferencias con la serie son palpables. En este caso no había cojones a llevar el papel a la pantalla tal cual. Pero algo se gana: el impagable Stanley, del cual estoy enamorado (el actor está destinado a la excelencia por imperativo asquenazí, entre otros).
Cómo me gustaría viajar y conocer el líquido amniótico que gesta y alimenta a este tipo de individuos.
Por cierto, el jersey de ella en la escena absolutamente delicioisa de la giant ass jellyfish lo tuve durante años, por mor de Dustin H. en Tootsie y servidor con 14 años en un Madrid canicular: mitos, estéticas y esas cosas.
