Lucky Man

The Verve foi uma das bandas mais inovativas da época do Britpop, e o álbum Urban Hymns figura fácil fácil num top 5 meu da década de 90. Meu cd do Urban Hymns só não furou porque, sei lá porque... só sei que é um álbum com baladas antológicas, épico, viajante e lisérgico em alguns momentos, puro rock n roll em outros, enfim, uma obra prima que extrapola o som Britpop, que não me canso de ouvir.
A música é Lucky Man. Música não, é um hino.
Ah, tem outra coisa: o álbum é 1997, mesmo ano do Ok Computer. Um ano bom, realmente bom.




Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

But I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness
Something in my own place
I'm stood here naked
Smiling, I feel no disgrace
With who I am

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just who I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

I hope you understand
I hope you understand

Gotta love that'll never die

Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my

Gotta love that'll never die
Gotta love that'll never die
No, no
I'm a lucky man

It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
