twice if you're lucky

a mesura que vaig creixent, augmenta amb mi la intensitat de les fòbies. la por que implosiona dins d'una persona introvertida causa amb certesa una gran quantitat de tsunamis creatius que, malgrat tot, s'empassen i van a parar a les vísceres. de què serveix, doncs, anar superant fòbies? cada passa és un poema menys coll avall, cada batec accelerat una idea pel desguàs. els nervis i la inconsistència, anem aprimant la carn i, amb ella, totes les paraules desendreçades amb melodia que no hauran de repercutir.

per primera vegada, i malgrat la tremolor de les mans, la mantega de les cames, he cantat a ple pulmó, com un canari i amb la veu fent ziga-zagues, una cançó repetitiva i nova en el meu cotxe acabat de sortir del forn. cala't, si vols. brunzeix, si vols. rellisca, protesta, enganxa't. fes el que vulguis, jo entraré en estat d'on, i cantaré you will love this one i em taparé les orelles, el camí es farà planer, i la meva vida es buidarà de poesia.

Twice if you're lucky

Breathe it out,
I can hear you now
you think reality's shut you down
And you're locked away
where you can't get out
spent a while on your back

But you know what it means to me babe
in the course of a history hey
it all makes sense to me somehow
And it's not what it used to be no
we're suddenly free to let go
and look what's happening now

You will love this one
you will love this one
and if we create something magical honey
there are times that come
these are times that come
only once in your life
and twice like mine

Do you wish to love
can you give enough
use your saving graces
in the heavy light
when the sky falls down
you can pray all you like

But you know what it means to me babe
in the course of a history hey
it all makes sense to me somehow
it's a course in philosophy yeah
what is life is it just a dream no!
the perfect mystery but somehow I know

You will love this one
you will love this one
and if we create something magical honey
there are times that come
these are times that come
only once in your life
or twice if you're lucky

And if the chance it comes round another time
you risk it all, you take the fall for what you like
And sure enough before your love has taken flight
you make a revelation. You will love this one

You will love this one
you will love this one
dream in my head something magical honey
there are times that come
these are times that come
only once in your life
or twice if you're lucky
