Música para a dor de corno. 7.


Is it a crime? de Sade Adu, Andrew Hale e Stuart Matthewman - Sade

This may come
this may come as some surprise
but I miss you.
I could see through all of your lies
but still I miss you.
He takes her love but it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss her kisses are not wine they're not mine.
He takes but surely she can't give what
I'm feeling now.
She takes but surely she doesn't know how.
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime that I still want you?
And I want you to want me too.
My love is wider wider than Victoria Lake.
My love is taller taller than the Empire State.
It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean.
I can't give you more than that surely you want me back.
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime that I still want you?
And I want you to want me too.
My love is wider than Victoria Lake taller than the Empire State.
It dives and it jumps I can't give you more than that surely you want me back.
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime that I still want you?
and I want you to want me too.
It dives it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean.
I can't give you more than that surely you want it back.
Tell me is it a crime?

Como é possivel? Sade é uma talentosíssima diva que escreve sempre sobre desgostos amorosos, infelicidade, traição, amor não correspondido... Como é possivel?
Aqui, na canção que abre o album"Promisse" de 1985, chega a ser provocatório para mim que Sade cante os seus lamentos sofisticadamente numa balada com ritmo de banda sonora para striptease. Como é possivel?
