Una cancion de los 80 que llevo cantando hace semanas desde que la descubir en el 80´s history volumen 1, un CD indispensable para los que nos quedamos estancados en los 80, musicalmente hablando.

Titulo: This House Is A House Of Trouble
Autor: Marc Almond

Chorus:
Sally: This house is a house of troubles/ this house is a house of tears/ the walls shake in desperation/ it’s been a prison for many a year
Marc: This house is a house of troubles/ this house is a house of tears/ the walls shake in desperation/ it’s been a prison for many a year

M: I gave you love
S: You gave me a necklace of diamonds
M: I gave you love
S: You gave me a Mercedes Benz
S&M: I gave you love, love, love

S: Well I thought I loved a hero, but it seems I loved a fool
M: Gee, thanks!
S: Too many times I’ve seen you falling drunken off your stool

I’ve seen you in the looking small on the floor of some dark bar
Spending all your money like the vagabond you are
You promised me a heaven, but you stuck me in a hell
You’re lazy and you’re indiscreet, and you’re bad in bed as well

M: Well, I’ve had no complaints before.
S: Lipstick where I’ve never seen lipstick marks before
Out each night to play the field, and me I’m locked behind this door

Repeat Chorus

M: You gave me lies and deception
S: I gave you love
M: You gave me an overdraft
S: I gave you love
M: You gave me the cold shoulder
S: I gave you love
M: You gave me an icy stare
S&M: I gave you love, love, love

M: I thought I married elegant
S: You did!
M: But it seems I married cheap
Seems you found some doubtful ways to boost your
__________________________(???)
I’ve seen you draped in furs, but they’re as fake as fake can be
They go with your complexion and your personality
Well, when things start to get bad — your hand up to your head
Making for the tranquilizers or some boy to your bed

S: Uh, you can do it!
M: Behaving ways I’ve never seen a lady act before
Out each night to play the field
And me I’m locked behind my door
I gave you love
S: You gave me an elegant prison
M: I gave you love
S: You gave me a washing machine
M: I gave you love
S: You gave me nothing
M: I gave you love
S: You gave me nothing
S&M: You gave me everything but love, love, love

Repeat Chorus

“Long Black Veil”

Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
There was someone killed ‘neath the Town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the man who ran looked a lot like me

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave while the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

The judge said Son, what’s your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won’t have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife

(Refrain)

The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometime at night when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

(Refrain)
