Conto de Fadas de Sintra a Lisboa


"Ele era um cavalheiro
E dele transpirava elegância
Ela era gata borralheira
Tivera que limpar a sua infância

Ele velejava no verão
E esquiava no inverno
Ela trabalhava ao balcão
De um qualquer estabelecimento moderno

Ele gostava de reluzir em si
O estilo da capital
Ela já não conseguia distinguir as cores
Da bandeira nacional

Ele tinha em vista imensos títulos
Uma futura ordem do infante
Ela achava o levantar do chá com o dedo mindinho
Algo deselegante

Mas ele um dia curvou-se a seus pés

E ela passou a ocupar o tempo
A descobrir o que era a cultura
E ele confinou-se aos seus aposentos
E descobriu a costura

Ela quis vir a entender o universo
E começou a ler Platão
E ele resolveu perceber o que era a justiça
Em frente à televisão

A ele de nada lhe valeu a carência
Nem a casa no largo do rato
Porque ela sabia que era cinderela
E enganou-o com um sapato

Ele queria ir à presidência
Agora rendia-se à evidência
Com mulheres que calçam o quarenta
Ele vai revelar prudência

Hoje ele ainda beija os seus pés"

(Os Pontos Negros)

COMMON PEOPLE

"She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College,
that's where I,
caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine."
and in thirty seconds time she said,

"I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
like you."

Well what else could I do -
I said "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to a supermarket,
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,
so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money,
she just laughed and said,
"Oh you're so funny."
I said "yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people,
like me."
But she didn't understand,
she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people,
I want to live with common people etc... "
