"Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" de Elton John

Esta entrada va dedicada a una persona que conozco desde hace bastante poco, y que recientemente me dijo, para mi gran sorpresa, que leía mi blog. Le dedico esta canción de Elton John, que está en la banda sonora de una de mis películas favoritas, "Almost famous", que algún día comentaré aquí. Me encanta el mojo que me inyecta esta canción! Espero verte pronto para un maratón de series, o un café, o un debate... Hasta entonces, paciencia, porque "I thank the Lord for the people I have found" (también donde estudiamos :P)... Un beso, E.

[En directo en 1972, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLMotU8Tu9E]

And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I'll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City

Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found
