Long Long While
(Jagger/Richards)
Baby, baby been a long, long time, been a long, long time
Been a long, long time, I was wrong girl and you were right
Baby, bay, took a long, long while, took a long, long while
Took a long, long while, but I found out you were right
Still you have those happy eyes. I will try and apologize
Baby, baby, still the same old smile
Still the same old smile
Still the same old smile, I was so wrong
Babe and you were right
Still you have those happy eyes
Yes! I, I’m gonna try
I’m gonna try and apologize
Oh baby, baby been a long, long time
Been a long, long time, been a long, long time
I was wrong girl and you were right
Oh Baby, baby, won’t you change your mind
Won’t you change your mind
Won’t you change your mind?
I was wrong girl, but not this, no, I, I said
Baby, baby, been a long, long time
It’s been such a long lonely time
It’s been such a long, a long, long time
I was wrong, but I admit, I admit you were right
Oh baby, baby I just want to change your mind
I wanted to change your mind
paint it black
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,…
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
la casa del sonno
2003, jonathan coe
Le storie d’amore sono belle, con le loro luci e le loro ombre, il loro carico di felicità e di sofferenza. La casa del sonno, più che ombre, getta sul lettore il peso angoscioso di vite in cui l’amore si presenta soltanto come “ombra”, impossibilità, annullamento, annientamento.
“…seppe di aver mentito a se stessa; seppe che non ce l’avrebbe fatta mai senza questa donna. Non era possibile, non lo era mai stato.”
Questa affermazione non concede spazi di autonomia. E certo il cupo edificio di Ashdown - vero protagonista del romanzo, insieme al sonno e al non sonno - non allevia l’angoscia del lettore, anche se sono molto divertenti le vicende del critico cinematografico e del suo regista Salvatore Ortese.
