Are you ready to be?

"looking like a born again
living like a heretic
listening to arthur lee records
making all your friends feel so guilty
about their cynicism
and the rest of their generation
not even the government are gonna stop you now
but are you ready to be heartbroken?
are you ready to be heartbroken?
pumped up full of vitamins
on account of all the seriousness
you say you're so happy now
you can hardly stand
lean over on the bookcase
if you really want to get straight
read norman mailer
or get a new tailor
are you ready to be heartbroken?"

Lloyd Cole, "Are you ready to be heartbroken"

simplesmente uma das mais belas canções dos 80's ! e tive a felicidade de a apanhar quando fazia da rádio a minha profissão e rotina diária. revejo-me no estúdio ... o disco ... vinil ... a capa ! a sensação de que se estava a passar qualquer coisa de irrepetível. E ESTAVA !
