One of My Turns (Roger Waters)
Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

Non è autobiografico, ma sono un po' depresso, stanco, annoiato, oggi è uno di quei giorni in cui vedo tutto grigio, sento il tempo che passa, mi ricordo di persone che non ci sono più morte o per lo più perse per strada; anni spesi insieme ad amici che ora non saluto nemmeno più, persone cui si sono affidate le confidenze più intime che ora sono delle perfette sconociute; affetti troncati dalla morte, dall'indifferenza, dall'egoismo reciproco, il tempo sentito come una grande livella che annichilisce tutto.
No, oggi non è una buona giornata.
I don't like mondays.
