Città del Rock : Dallas


HOT NITE IN DALLAS (Moon Martin from Shots from a cold nightmare)

Sono nato in una batteria
Sono stato allevato da una chitarra
Mia madre aveva un casinò
E mio padre si vestiva come un travestito

Una caldissima notte a Dallas
A sentire il vento del sud
Una caldissima notte a Dallas
E la camicia, come un sudario, appiccicata alla pelle

Corpi abbattuti nella grondaia
La luna rotola, scura
Risplende tra i suoi abiti
Non appena la donna mi tira in basso

Mettetemi in una scatola
In un posto buio e desolato
In una notte di luna
Inchiodate un asso sopra il mio viso

Moon Martin ha detto...

I was born in a bass drum
Brought up by a guitar
My mama kept a house of hags
And my daddy dressed in drag

A hot nite in Dallas
Feel the southern wind
A hot nite in Dallas
And the sheets stickin' to my skin

Bodies laid in the gutter
Dark roll the moon
It shines through her gown
As the woman's taking me down

A hot nite in Dallas
Feel the southern wind
A hot nite in Dallas
And the sheets stickin' to my skin

Lay me in a pine box
In a dark desolate place
On a moonlit night
Nail a board above my face

Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?
Well Dallas is a jewel, oh yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight.
And Dallas is a jungle but Dallas gives a beautiful light.
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?

Well, Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down.
But when you are up, she's the kind you want to take around.
But Dallas ain't a woman to help you get your feet on the ground.
Yes Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down.

Well, I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind,
But I came into Dallas with a Dollar and a dime.

Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eye
A steel and concrete soul with a warm hearted love disguise
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes

Shots From A Cold Nightmare è un capolavoro dimenticato e mai ripetuto, dieci energiche ed essenziali canzoni nati da un melange inedito fra la malinconia del rock & roll di Buddy Holly e l’afosa energia vodoo dei Creedence Clearwater Revival. I testi di MM, in particolare, sono oscuri, appiccicosi ed inquietanti come una notte di luna piena in Louisiana.
