Donald And Lydia

Song : Donald And Lydia (Mod.not to slow 3/4 timing) Small town bright lights Saturday night Pin balls and pool halls flashing their lights Making change behind a counter in a penny arcade   Sat the fat girl daughter of Virginia and Ray (spoken) Lydia Lydia hid her thoughts like a cat behind her small eyes sunk deep in her fat She read romance magazines up in her room   And felt just like Sunday on Saturday afternoon (Chorus) But dreaming just comes natural like the first breath from a baby Like sunshine feeding daisies Like the love hidden deep in your heart Bunkbeds shaved heads Saturday night A ware house of strangers with sixty watt lights Staring though the ceiling just wanting to be lay a one of to many a young PFC (spoken) Donald There were spaces between Donald and what ever he said Strangers had forced him to live in his head He envisioned the details of romantic scenes after midnight in the stillness of   the barrack’s latrine (repeat chorus) Hot love cold love no love at all a portrait of guilt is hung on the wall                                                                               Nothing is wrong nothing is right Donald and Lydia made love that night (spoken) Love They made love in the mountains they made love in the streams They made love in the valleys they made love in their dreams But when they were fininshed there was nothing to say ’Cause mostly they made love from ten miles away    (repeat chorus)

Du même artiste :

La chanson évoque l'histoire de deux jeunes issus d'une petite ville, Donald et Lydia, qui rêvent d'échapper à leur quotidien morne. Lydia, seule dans sa chambre, se plonge dans des revues romantiques, tandis que Donald, confronté aux réalités de la vie militaire, ressent un profond isolement. Leur amour, bien que passionné, semble souvent distant et teinté de mélancolie, se manifestant dans des lieux rêvés plutôt que dans le réel. Ils expriment leurs désirs et leurs sentiments, mais restent piégés par les circonstances, transformant leurs étreintes en moments fugaces, comme des rêves partagés à mille lieux l'un de l'autre. L'histoire traite de la recherche d'amour et de connexion dans un monde souvent indifférent.
