Cuando quedo con un amigo a tomar unas cervezas e intercambiarnos algo de material musical solemos mencionar siempre nuestra querencia por discos que mi colega denomina quitapenas. Esas rodajas sabrosas que desde el instante uno te ponen las pilas y te elevan el ánimo y más en estos tiempos tan oscuros en todos los sentidos. La nieve queda muy bien en las postales pero el frío no mola en absoluto y mi banda sonora para salir de casa con un poco de brío es el álbum Diamond Dave del inconfundible e inimitable David Lee Roth. Album de cabera para estos tiempos tan negros... Se inicia con esta contundente versión de I´m tired de Savoy Brown a la que el cachondo Dave cambia el título por You Got The Blues, Not me... Para enmarcar ese final con la susurrante voz de David...
Well, I'm tired of been a fool
And my mind goes hot to cool
And I'm tryin' to conform to other's ideas
And somebody else's rules
The life I'm livin' ain't mine
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
I didn't make the world I'm livin' in
Ah, ain't gonna tow the line
I'm tired of tryin' to be someone I know ain't me
I'm tired of livin' up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different, now ain't that a cryin' shame
Now wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same?
And I'm not gonna try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
Well, you'll have the blues, not me
Wow, go go
Here we go
Ah-wow- yeh
I'm tired of tryin' to be someone I know ain't me
I'm tired of livin' up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different, now ain't that a cryin' shame
Now wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same?
And I'm not gonna try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
Well, you'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues
Not me baby
And my mind goes hot to cool
And I'm tryin' to conform to other's ideas
And somebody else's rules
The life I'm livin' ain't mine
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
I didn't make the world I'm livin' in
Ah, ain't gonna tow the line
I'm tired of tryin' to be someone I know ain't me
I'm tired of livin' up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different, now ain't that a cryin' shame
Now wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same?
And I'm not gonna try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
Well, you'll have the blues, not me
Wow, go go
Here we go
Ah-wow- yeh
I'm tired of tryin' to be someone I know ain't me
I'm tired of livin' up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different, now ain't that a cryin' shame
Now wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same?
And I'm not gonna try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
Well, you'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues
Not me baby
