It's all in her mind

"porquê não sei, porque não sei, cá dentro inquietação", hoje almoçava no Fidel e atrás de mim alguem trauteava Stephanie Says, com pronuncia local quase falado, lourridico do vallés, pensei: Quem é que ainda ouve Velvet? O eco desta pergunta na minha cabeça levou-me a ficar com curiosidade da simpática catalã que teria nas costas. O pequeno grupo falava em jeito de queimar tempo, de pausa de almoço já finda, nos intervalos que o permitiam aí se ouvia mais um Stephanie Says que estaria incessante naquela mente. deste irrisório episódio à análise da letra, à reflexão sobre o trautear entre conversas, às cassetes esquecidas em prol das tendencias emergentes, de se realmente está tudo na cabeça dela..

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now
Stephanie says when answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why it is though she's the door She can't be the room

Stephanie says but doesn't hang up the phone
What sea shell she is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all cal her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

She asks you is it good or bad
It's such an icy feeling it's so cold in Alaska,
it's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska





ps: ouço JP Simões neste momento "1970" em tendencia contra-emergente
