The tracks of my tears


La scintilla di questa sera è una canzone che ho scoperto la prima volta che ho visto Platoon, più o meno…20 anni fa?
E’ la scena in cui Elias, il protagonista e un po’ di gente fumano e danzano.
Fa parte della colonna sonora, ma ritorna anche in altri film come “The big chill” (Il grande freddo).

Direi che un po’ mi rispecchia…ecco a voi il testo:

People say I’m the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I’m blue
So take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I’m having fun
Although she may be cute
She’s just a substitute
Because you’re the permanent one..
So take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Outside I’m masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you..
So take a good look at my face
You’ll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it’s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Saluti serali,
Marco
