La grandezza dei New Order (2)
19 Giugno 2006 - Author: veleneroVa bene, lo ammetto… sono un monomaniaco ossessivo compulsivo…
Ultimamente sto vivendo questa riscoperta dei New Order e lunico modo che conosco per riuscire a superarne lossessione è parlarne fino alla nausea.
Oggi analizziamo Love Vigilantes, che parla di un soldato inglese dato per morto e che invece torna dalle Falkland per riabbracciare la propria famiglia.
I NO non hanno mai nascosto le proprie idee conservatrici, non si sono neanche fatti scrupoli a criticare le posizioni più discutibili dellallora Primo Ministro Margaret Thatcher… e in questa canzone, in cui si parla di valori a me estranei (Dio, Patria, Famiglia), il rischio di essere retorici era fortissimo… invece i NO riescono a trattare largomento con emozionante umanità…
Oh Ive just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
You just cant believe
The joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
You just cant believe
The joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
