NOAH AND THE WHALE 



Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
She's a rock&roll survivor with pendulum hips
She's got deep brown eyes
That've seen it all

Working at nightclub that was called The Avenue
The bar men used to call her " Little Lisa, Loney Tunes"
She went down on almost anyone

From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blond 'til the day it turned gray 
She said:

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more tha money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way

Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case
But his best word was his letters home

His stadard works of fiction about imaginery success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal

From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
and the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say:


L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more tha money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way

On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life


L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more tha money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more tha money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way

  1. Maravillosa canción.
    ¿Originalmente no es de Lou Reed?

    1. La verdad que no tenía ni idea pero investigando he encontrado ésto: "...robó lo mejor de clásicos de Tom Petty, Lou Reed y Ryan Adams para lograr alcanzar el éxito. Pero qué más da si suena a clásicos si lo hace de maravillas con una propuesta que vale la pena escuchar". Así que supongo que sí pero no, acaso no nos inspiramos todos de los grandes?! ;)

    2. No lo decía como una critica.

      Me pareció reconocer la canción. Me encanta esta versión.
