no time for a chat
«Words, words, words! I’m so sick of words!
I get words all day through:
First from him, now from you.
Is that all you blighters can do?
Don’t talk of stars burning above:
If you’re in love, show me!
Tell me no dreams filled with desire.
If you’re on fire, show me!
Here we are together in the middle of the night:
Don’t talk of spring, just hold me tight!
Anyone who’s ever been in love will tell you that
This is no time for a chat!
Haven’t your lips longed for my touch?
Don’t say how much, show me! Show me!
Don’t talk of love lasting through time,
Make me no undying vow: show me now!
Sing me no song, read me no rhyme,
Don’t waste my time, show me!
Don’t talk of June, don’t talk of fall.
Don’t talk at all, show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word,
There isn’t one I haven’t heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream:
Say one more word and I’ll scream!
Haven’t your arms hungered for mine?
Please don’t “expl’ine”, show me! Show me!
Don’t wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow, show me now!»

each one of us feels a little stranded
Catturato nel suo gorgo, cercando di tenere la testa fuori dall’acqua, la corrente che lo trascina sempre più verso il basso. È un altro, caduto nella sua trappola.
Spiarlo mentre annaspa mi dimostra che davvero non è solo colpa mia, questa infinita ossessione.
Ma sono obbligato ad accettarla, perché non avrà mai fine: come una malattia cronica dovrò imparare a conviverci – quel piccolo dolore da gettare nell’ombra, e poi un po’ di luce, più avanti – liberandomi di qualcosa non essenziale e provando di nuovo, comunque, a respirare.
«These things that you're wrapping all around you,
You never know what they will amount to.
And your life is just going on without you:
It's the end of the things you know,
Here we go.»
