The Last Hour

A. and the J.

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

Dedicado a mi amiga C y a tantas otras y otros (E.S. por ejemplo).

Hola....hola...estas ahi...tuuuuuuutuuuuuu

No voy a descubrir las cualidades letrísticas de Jarvo pero sin
duda que la letra y la música de Ansaphone son de lo mejor de Pulp.


Oh I know I don't own you
but I don't even know if I should phone you
Someone's sending me letters
saying you've been going with other fellers.

And babe
I want you.
But I
don't wanna cry.
Or talk for an hour
to a machine
on the end
of a telephone line.
Oh it just kills me
when all you got to do is call
Oh do it any time
cos there's never no-one home
never no-one home
Leave your message on the ansaphone.

I'm not trying to be clever
but at least we're not still living together
All those calls in the evening
if I answered they'd hang up without speaking

And babe
I want you,
But I
don't want to cry
or talk for an hour
to a machine
on the end
of a telephone line
Oh it just kills me
when all you got to do is call
Oh do it any time
cos there's never no-one home
never no-one home
Leave your message on the ansaphone

*Beep*
"Hello, its me. I just wanted to call and say
it doesn't matter what you're up to.
I just want you to stay in touch.
That's all."

Are you really not at home?
Or are you there but not alone?
Screening calls
you don't want to receive
meaning calls
calls that come from me

Oh I
need to see you
It's not enough for me just to hear you
You said you'd be here by ten thirty
but you want to stay out and be dirty
Oh it just kills me
when all you got to do is call
Oh do it any time
cos there's never no-one home
never no-one home
Leave your message on the ansaphone.

Paranoia...no, solo parece.

Basta de sensibilerias, que Lou ni que Perfect Day carancho.

Este mail que llegó a mi casilla es muuuuuuy deprimente:

"Hola hermanos uruguayos, Desde Montreal, Canadá les escribe Carlos Lopez, ex-cantante de Alvacast.

Muchos me conocen por "El Charly". Espero que todos estén bien en este momento. He visto fotos de conciertos en Uruguay y me emocionó ver cómo uds asisten a los espectáculos para apoyar la escena musical uruguaya. De mi les cuento que estoy tocando en Canadá desde 1992 y que extraño mucho el Uruguay y su gente, mi gente. En Diciembre termino mis espectáculos en Canadá y salgo para América Central donde voy a tocar en Costa Rica, Nicaragua y Panamá. Acabo de componer un temita pensando en uds, que se los dedico: se llama "De Norte a Sur". El tema está en esta página: http://www.geocities.com/carloslopezband en la sección "multimedia".


Bueno hermanos y hermanas, cuídense y sigan p'adelante y apoyando la música uruguaya!! Les deseo lo mejor para ti y tu famlia en estas fiestas y para el año que viene. Un gran abrazo de quien los quiere mucho y siempre piensa en uds.

Carlos Lopez (el Charly de Alvacast)

P.D: Gracias a todos los que ya me han escrito y dejado sus comentarios en mi sitio web.
Si quieres escuchar mis canciones, ver fotos, escribirme, ver información sobre ALVACAST y sobre mi tributo a IRON MAIDEN, lo puedes hacer ahora visitando este sitio en internet:

Volvere a sentir algo asi ?

Lou Reed
Transformer (1972)
Perfect Day

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.

Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.

Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow...


En este momento me es imposible imaginar un día perfecto, tal vez tenga una nueva oportunidad de sentir el placer de pasarlo contigo, por ahora sólo lo sueño. chau.
