The day before you came.

12 Febbraio 2009

Sto guardando un dvd degli Abba, che dir stupendo è limitativo.
E c’è questa canzone che, quando l’ho sentita, ho pensato cosa facevo io il giorno prima?
Ripensandoci sono andata a mangiare una pizza con Wiz.

I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I’m certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I’m pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came

I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there’s no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within its usual frame
The day before you came

I must have opened my front door at eight o’clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There’s not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn’t see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It’s funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came

And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came.

(Abba – The day before you came)

  1. Naaaaaauuu! Negativo da parte mia. Io gli Abba li ho sempre a-do-ra-ti anche in tempi non sospetti, ben prima che facessero il film e, pensandoci, forse anche da prima che facessero il musical a Londra, portato successivamente a NYC.

  2. Così come la tizia di un libro che ho letto, ora non mi ricordo quale sia, che trovava tutte le risposte nei testi di Bob Dylan, io faccio altrettanto coi testi degli Abba.

  3. gli abba per me rimangono sempre un grande mistero.. mi affascinano e non so perchè.

  4. Visto Mamma Mia l’altra sera.

    Ma quanto è bello??? *_*

    Io e mio marito abbiamo deciso di scaricarci la disografia completa degli ABBA.

    :-)

  5. Ahah io l’ho visto al cinema a novembre quando era uscito…e A-DO-RO quel film…devi vedere come folleggio in macchina la mattina con la loro colonna sonora…per non parlare della mattina quando mi preparo!

    Da ridere…anche a me son sempre piaciuti, un po’ come tutta la disco music degli anni 70!

    Per ..quello che facevo il giorno prima…sai che non mi ricordo?

    Ci conosciamo da talmente tanti anni che…non saprei proprio!
