Supertramp: Obertura del tonto.

Supertramp es un grupo musical (bla, bla, bla...) cuyas canciones, a pesar de haber escuchado muy pocas, las canto en el carro desde aquí a allá y acullá (léase desde Breña hasta Jesús María, en Lima para quienes no viven en Perú) porque me motivan.

Vale, sé que si tuviese las letras a la mano, las cantaría mil veces mejor. Debo admitirlo. Aunque The Logical Song no se me da mal, sí quisiera recordar la letra (porque no la tuve a la mano) Fool's Overture. Según fuentes ultra secretas e imposibles de revelar (La rica Wiki), la canción habla sobre las lecciones que "aprendió" Inglaterra en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Veamos que dice...

"Fool's Overture" is the closing track from Supertramp's 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments. Written and song by guitarist, keyboard player, singer and songwriter Roger Hodgson, the song tells about World War II England and the lessons learned from it...

Nunca me imaginé que fuese la frase de Churchill "Never Surrender", podría ser Beber no más, que no más he de ver (mal chiste, lo sé) y debo rebuscar y redescubrir lo que escucho. Aquí os dejo la letra de la canción y un link.

(5'25'')

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late," the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

(6'15'')

Called the man a fool, stripped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
Although the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home

(7'07'')

So you tell me that you find it hard to grow,
Well I know, I know, I know,
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow,
Well I know, I know, I know.

(9'08')

Can you hear what I'm saying,
Can you see the parts that I'm playing,
"Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie"

(9'23'')

So you found your solution,
What will be your last contribution?
"Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, Yeah!"
