Elliot Smith

Elliot Smith es un artista que desde le oí por primera vez (la canción era Some song, aunque tiene un mensaje demasiado deprimente es un aobra de arte..... y anticipaba el trágico final del artista) me ha fascinado. Nunca he tenido la oportunidad de verle en directo. Una de sus canciones más bonitas dese mi punto de vista siempre ha sido Needle in the Hay, aunque en realidad me gustan todas sus canciones y eso que en general son muy tristes.....Esta versión es la más animada que yhe encontrado, de hcho hasta Elliot Smith está de pie y se mueve....

Elliot Smith - Needle in the Hay
Your hand in his arm
The haystack charm
Around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friend
Trying to cash some check
He's acting dumb
That's what you've come
To expect
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
He's wearing your clothes
Head down to toes
A reaction to you
You say you know what he did
But you idiot kid
You don't have a clue
Sometimes they just
Get caught in the eye
You're pulling him through
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Now on the bus
Nearly touching
This dirty retreat
Falling out 6th and Powell
A dead sweat in my teeth
Going to walk, walk, walk
Four more blocks
Plus the one in my brain
Down downstairs
To the man
He's going to make it all ok
I can't beat myself
I can't beat myself
And I don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure
So I can be quiet
Whenever I want
So leave me alone
You ought to be proud
That I'm getting good marks
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
