PULP. They Suffocate At Night

Pulp, la banda de Sheffield liderada por Jarvis Cocker, tuvieron unos difíciles comienzos, donde no se comían un colín. Pero ellos eran los que decían NB: Please do read the lyrics whilst listening to the recording. No vamos a hacerles mucho caso, no sea que acabemos como Jarvis, haciendo de figurante en películas de Harry Potter. Todavía les quedaban muchos años por delante, pero Pulp ya tenían el estilo de narrar canciones que caracteriza a Jarvis, y que yo relaciono inconscientemente con el canadiense Leonard Cohen.

She met his wishes
he found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight
and the bedroom too warm

The days are filled with things to do
Night-time lies so hollow and memories betray

Oh memories of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night

Those memories of love
Love
So sad to see
to see it slowly die

Two years have passed
two years of emptiness inside
and the grey skies above
just show how far I went wrong

I wonder if she's living there
the way that I recall
the way I'll always think of you

And when I think of you

I think of love
Love
So sad to see
They suffocate at night

You know I think of love
Love
So sad to see
to see it slowly die

I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
threw it away

I need her
I know I don't need her
I need her
Oh, Oh
