Um espelho de tudo o que me vai pela cabeça

Dos meus livros de Liceu

All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts
And they're coming round the track to haunt me.
When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
Up from suede shoes to my baby blues

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step
You were never fleet of foot, hippy.
All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street
For the vision I have had is sweeping
- New broom, this room, sweep it clean

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;

Now my rhythm ain't so hot, but it's the only friend I've got
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
All the pretty birds have flown now I'm dancing on my own
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
- Up from, suede shoes to my baby blues

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

The King of Rock'n Roll, Paddy McAloon

Para o Lameira: nunca mais vou ter de te perguntar quem canta isto...

Mais valia perguntares. Se bem que o compositor e letrista da canção se chame, de facto, Paddy McAloon (e que grande compositor e letrista ele é), quem a toca é o agrupamento por si liderado, os tão injustamente esquecidos Prefab Sprout. Aconselho, a quem os queira conhecer, dois álbuns preciosos: Steve McQueen e Jordan: The Comeback.
