António Variações - Sempre Presente

António Variações deixou-nos em 1984, com apenas 39 anos e dois discos editados.
Por tudo o que fez, em tão pouco tempo e pela forma como o fez, considero-o um Adiantado Mental, muito à frente para o seu tempo. A sua existência fugaz despertou ódios e paixões mas nunca indiferença.
Para uns morre de "doença desconhecida" e para outros continua vivo, eterno e singular.



Sempre Ausente

Diz-me que solidão é essa
Que te põe a falar sozinho
Diz-me que conversa
Estás a ter contigo

Diz-me que desprezo é esse
Que não olhas para quem quer que seja
Ou pensas que não existe
Ninguém que te veja

Que viagem é essa
Que te diriges em todos os sentidos
Andas em busca dos sonhos perdidos

Uhhhhh...
Uhhhhh...

Lá vai o maluco
Lá vai o demente
Lá vai ele a passar
Assim te chama toda essa gente

Mas tu estás sempre ausente e não te conseguem alcançar

Diz-me que loucura é essa
Que te veste de fantasia
Diz-me que te liberta
De vida vazia

Diz-me que distância é essa
Que levas no teu olhar
Que ânsia e que pressa
Que queres alcançar

Que viagem é essa
Que te diriges em todos os sentidos
Andas em busca dos sonhos perdidos

Uhhhhh...
Uhhhhh...

Lá vai o maluco
Lá vai o demente
Lá vai ele a passar
Assim te chama toda essa gente

Mas tu estás sempre ausente e não te conseguem alcançar

Mas eu estou sempre ausente e não conseguem alcançar
Não conseguem alcançar...

Common People


She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College,
that's where I,
caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine."
and in thirty seconds time she said,

"I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
like you."

Well what else could I do -
I said "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to a supermarket,
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,
so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money,
she just laughed and said,
"Oh you're so funny."
I said "yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people,
like me."
But she didn't understand,
she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people,
I want to live with common people...

Stars

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend
