Another Sunny Day - Belle and Sebastian

En esta tarde de lluvia me viene a la cabeza esta canción de Belle and Sebastian, una de las joyas escocesas que no debe faltar en tu cargador de CDs. La canción habla de cómo las relaciones personales pueden deteriorarse. En nuestro lugar de trabajo tengo una hija que ya no me quiere. Eso duele. Cuando vuelva el sol y la primavera, quizá cicatrice tu herida. A lo mejor un día nos sentamos a escucharla y nos echamos unas risas. Para tí.

Another sunny day,

I met you up in the garden

You were digging plants,

I dug you, beg your pardon

I took a photograph of you

in the herbaceous border

It broke the heart of men

and flowers and girls and trees

Another rainy day,

we're trapped inside with a train set

Chocolate on the boil,

steamy windows when we met

You've got the attic window

looking out on the cathedral

And on a Sunday evening

bells ring out in the dusk

Another day in June,

we'll pick eleven for football

We're playing for our lives

the referee gives us fuck all

I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines

Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds

Everybody's gone

you picked me up for a long drive

We take the tourist route

the nights are light until midnight

We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula

We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill

That crazy avenue of trees, I'm living there still

There's something in my eye

a little midge so beguiling

Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye

I heard the Eskimos

remove obstructions with tongues, dear

You missed my eye,

I wonder why, I didn't complain

You missed my eye,

I wonder why, please do it again

The lovin is a mess

what happened to all of the feeling?

I thought it was for real;

babies, rings and fools kneeling

And words of pledging trust

and lifetimes stretching forever

So what went wrong?

It was a lie, it crumbled apart

Ghost figures of past,

present, future haunting the heart
