AUTO-RETRATO POR INTERPOSTA PESSOA EM MODO OBSERVACIONAL GERACIONAL

Lloyd sabe. Lloyd sabe sempre.

just another bunch of torn down college graduates
trying to find a place to set down for a while
too pumped up to fake it
too belligerent to take it sitting down
early town

just another bunch of would be desperadoes
failing to pace themselves against the grain
strung out on semantics
Holiday Inn vigilantes
late night
early town

oh Los Angeles
how do you sleep?
you seem so full of cocaine
and self-belief
if I could get me some
I'd take it and I'd run
oh, but it's just another
late night
early town

is it too late to be post-modern lovers?
is it too late to straighten out the show?
the sky is turning grey
and now the after-party fades
we're coming down
on an early town

oh Los Angeles
how do you sleep?
you seem so full of cocaine
and self-belief
if I could get me some
I'd take it and I'd run
oh, but it's just another
late night
early town

late night
early town
am I supposed to sleep
here all alone?
in the shadow of the mini-bar
with the promise of a Spectravision girl

a Spectravision girl
oh those Spectravision girls...


- Lloyd Cole, "Late Night, Early Town", in "Music in a Foreign Language" (Sanctuary 2003)
