Tangerine trees and marmalade skies

A primeira pessoa a quem mostrei a gravação deste tema disse-me que devia ser complicado cantar esta letra. Segundo ela, relata algo que todos acabamos por temer a certa altura das nossas vidas. Não foi...Talvez por ter tido a ideia de a gravar há umas semanas atrás e a conjectura ser diferente agora. Ou então foi a audição excessiva que me fez mudar de atitude e sentimento perante o poema. Ainda assim, é impossivel deixar de sorrir (??) num verso que quem me conhece melhor não deve ter dificuldade em identificar. Deixo o desafio aos restantes. Créditos mais uma vez endereçados ao Pete Doherty. A letra foi ajustada por mim para fazer (ainda) mais sentido. Os puritanos que me perdoem pelo atrevimento.

"An ending fitting for the start
you twist and tore our love apart
your light fingers threw the dark
that shattered the lamp and into the darkness cast us..."

"No you've got it the wrong way round
you shut me out and blamed it on the brown"
cornered the boy kicked out at the world...the world kicked back
alot fuckin' harder...

If you wanna try, If you wanna try
there's no worse you could do
I know you lie,(I know you lie
I'm just still in love with you

Can take me anywhere (I'll take you anywhere)
You can take me anywhere (I’ll take you anywhere)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

But you can’t stand me now, you can’t stand me now
you can’t stand me now, you can’t stand me now
you can’t stand me now, you can’t stand me now
you can’t stand me now, you can’t stand me now

Have we enough to keep it together?
or do we just keep on pretending (and hope our
luck is never ending)...
Have we enough to keep it together?
people say you like pretending (can you pretend happy ending ?)

If you wanna try, If you wanna try
there's no worse you could do (oh oh oh)
I know you lie
All you do is make me cry
And all these words they ring true (oh oh oh)

Can't take me anywhere (I'll teach you anything)
You can't take me anywhere (‘ll tell you anythhing)
I'll tell anything you wanna know

But you can’t stand me now, you can’t stand me now
you can’t stand me now, you can’t stand me now
you can’t stand me now, you can’t stand me now
