Citazione

Ho ritrovato in rete il testo di Cafè Avenue, me lo sono riletto e ha qualcosa da dire anche oggi


I was feeling hungry, I didn't have no money y' know
But I was like you'd say "off the hook" and sometimes it hit me quite hard
I started searching for what I don't know
I suppose I started searching, searching for the money and fame
Yes I was wild, wild, wild, wild through the night
Sometimes blind, blind, blind until it was light
But it was my life

I got prostituted, I just had to get some money, y'know
But let me tell you, the more I got the faster it went
Sometimes in the danger of not getting paid
I was still out all night offering the service I gave
Yes I was wild, wild, wild, wild through the night
Sometimes blind, blind, blind until it was light

Café Avenue - I'm comin' back to you once more
To see the same old fools and freaks sitting at the same old tables
Cafe Avenue - I'm comin' back to you once more
You still remember how bad things were once before
It makes no difference who you are, it makes no difference how you look
In the Cafe Avenue

But now I've found a shelter, and things have turned out much better
Oh, let me tell you, nowadays it's so easy to look back

Café Avenue - I'm comin' back to you once more
To see the same old fools and freaks sitting at the same old tables
Cafe Avenue - I'm comin' back to you once more
You still remember how bad things were once before
It makes no difference who you are, it makes no difference how you look
In the Cafe Avenue

Che sia un buon testo me ne ero accorto, masticandone la traduzione, a metà degli anni ottanta. Rivederlo ora ben scritto sul blog dà qualche emozione.
La canzone, se ve la ricordate, è altrettanto buona anche se per i fans degli Hanoi Rocks è stranamente una canzone tra le altre.
Ritengo comunque il coro del refrain uno dei migliori di sempre dai tempi dei Beatles.
Ecco che erano gli Hanoi Rocks: Rolling Stones + Stooges + Beatles.
