Little Miss Take

Quería rescatar esta canción que alguien ha tenido la sapiencia de colgar en la red. Ellos, Skyclad, a quienes he considerado mi grupo favorito décadas. No son los únicos, claro está, pero tienen ese duende de ser poco conocidos, de ser pioneros, y de haber dado conciertos en ese tiempo donde se queda marcado a fuego. Y de haber compartido amistad con quienes hace tiempo separaron el camino en la vida... aunque hay lugar para el reencuentro, como fue en Navidad. Aunque fuera sólo por teléfono.

Os dejo la letra, pero no la traduzco (aunque merece la pena).

Little Miss Take

Thought I'd got it right - for once I'd sought and found perfection.

when you said "I love you you addressed your own reflection.

I'd prayed up to the heavens for a goddess of desire,

the best they had on offer was one devil of a liar!

You can't be accused of procrastination

one brief separation - the dream went stale

You sever all ties with a swift laceration

leave so many loose-ends- (thereby hangs my tale).

[CHORUS:]

Were you scared that the truth could have made you fatter ?

The Oueen of Hearts - you dealt me a pack of lies

then laughed in my face like it didn't matter

that you'd crossed my heart and I hoped to die.

Licked my wounds and hugged my chains

believing you pre-menstrual

unaware love could be blind to torture cruel and mental

stn regret I must confess I realised too late

you re-define endearment as 'the tender side of hate"

I'm already broken - so don't kick me better

What colour's the sky in your world - is it green ?

It seems I'm not even worth one paltry letter,

cast off like a tampon - you stamp on my dream.

[CHORUS:]

Were you scared that the truth could have made you fatter ?

The Queen of Hearts - you dealt me a pack of lies

then laughed in my face like it didn't matter

that you'd crossed my heart and I hoped to die.

Could it possibly be that In your dictionary "Love' and "Lies" are defined

both the same?

I know how you can catch your ideal man

join a singles-club for the insane

The prize for my stupidity'- a noose about my neck

Nest time that she says "Good day" make sure you go and check

Mislay your smile - this dacryphile is turned on by sighs

When she has her eye on you - good fortune and good flies

You can't be accused of procrastination,

one brief separation - the dream went stale,

You sever all ties with a swift laceration.

leave so many loose-ends - (thereby hangs my tale).

[CHORUS]

Were you scared that the truth could have made you fatter?

The Queen of Hearts - you dealt me a pack of lies,

then laughed in my face like it didn't matter,

that you'd crossed my head and I hoped to die

Both sickened to learn (and yet glad to discover).

that Venus once held me with (ch)arms so fake

I'd have once sold my soul for this faithless lover,

now I couldn't give a damn for my little Miss Take.

PD: No hay nada como opinar cómo deben ser las cosas de los demás...
