Supertramp, Pink Floyd, U2, Talking Heads, B' 52, The Smiths, Jethro Tull, etc. Ou a sorte de ter irmãos mais velhos, que ouviam um monte de discos bons, na época. Acho que já contei aqui uma vez. As festas acabavam tarde na casa da Bagé, mas de manhã estavam os lp's todos, dos amigos que os tinham deixado para levar noutro dia. Daí começava o festival. As velhas cassetes e eu ali, seleccionando o que gostava, para guardar para mim. Logical Song é uma canção eterna. Só vim entender a letra anos mais tarde, claro.
When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
At night when all the world's asleep
The questions run soo deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
