Blues and rock

El single de esta semana llega de la mano de un clásico como Nick Cave, más furioso y más lunático que nunca. "No pussy blues" es un blues-noise guarro gritado y mascullado con la delicadeza de un gorila en celo.
Es un puñetazo en nuestro hocico de un Cave que comanda una formación bestial, Grinderman, tomando para si la guitarra eléctrica, algo poco habitual en él.
El disco es solido, un tanto monocorde, uno de mis preferidos de lo que llevamos de 2007.
La bestia anda suelta y con ganas de gresca. Avisados quedan.

My face is finished
my body's gone
and I can't help but think
standin' up here in all this applause
and gazin' down at all the young and the beautiful
with their questioning eyes
that I must above all things love myself
that I must above all things love myself
that I must above all things love myself

I saw a girl in the crowd
I ran over I shouted out
I asked if I could take her out
but she said that she didn't want to

I changed the sheets on my bed
I combed my hair across my head
I sucked in my gut and still she said
that she just didn't want to

I read her (don't know) and I read her Yeats
I tried my best to stay up late
I fixed the hinges on her gate
but still she just never wanted to

I bought her a dozen snow white doves
I did auditions(?) in rubber gloves
I called her honey bee, I called her love
but she just still didn't want to
she just never wants to
Damn!

I sent her every type of flower
I played the guitar by the hour
I padded her revolted little (don't know)
but still she just didn't want to

I wrote a song with 100 lines
I picked a bunch of dandelions
I walked her through the trembling pines
but she just even then didn't want to
she just never wants to

I thought I'd try another 'tack
I'd drink a liter of cognac
I threw up down her back
but she just laughed and said she just didn't want to

I thought I'd have another go
I called her my little ho
I felt like (don't know) soul must feel when
she said that she just never wanted to
she just didn't want to

I got the no pussy blues (rep.)

Seems I was wrong with the flowers...
