la canción: "what i am"

Entonces, mientras bajamos del taxi, escucho esa guitarra, esa guitarra que tiene un efecto extraño que podría ser un wah-wah, o que podría ser otra cosa. Y me acuerdo, con esa guitarra, mientras bajamos del taxi, del cassette TDK de noventa minutos que de un lado tenía a Laurie Anderson y del otro, compartiendo los cuarentaycinco minutos, a Sinead O' Connor y a ella, a Edie Brickell, acompañada por los New Bohemians. Y si Laurie te hacía reir y pensar y si Sinead te gustaba porque estaba rapada y hacía travesuras con el Papa, entonces Edie te encantaba -como encantan los hindues a las serpientes- con su voz escandalosamente dulce, con los arreglos sencillos. Eramos jóvenes -eramos chicos- y el cassette sonaba tanto en el equipo del living como en el estereo del falcon y después en la traffic. Un día la cinta dijo basta, pero por suerte ya habíamos comprado los cds.
Ahora sí, para levantar el ánimo dominguero: "What I Am", Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians.



I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Philosophy, is the talk on a cereal box
Religion, is a smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
i know what I know if you know what I mean

Chuck me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what

Oh I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Philosophy, is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion, is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
Do do ya

Chuck me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Chuck me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what you are
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what

Da da da da
I say I say I say I do hey hey hey hey hey hey

Chuck me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Chuck me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Chuck me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Chuck me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Chuck me in the shallow water before I get too deep

Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep

What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what you are
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what

Or what you are oh
Or what you are oh oh oh
Say what I am
