AL PIE DE LA LETRA… (Parte II)

Siguiendo con la serie iniciada anteriormente, os traigo otro par de canciones relacionadas con el póquer.

La primera se titula “Poker” y es de la conocidísima ELO: Electric Light Orchestra

Poker

Away, the jokers's closing in,
Reform and they will win,
The light is fading fast.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

The girls come crawling on all fours,
Banging on locked doors,
High cards call the tune.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

Play me another hand,
Loose everything I am,
Until we meet again.

The ace, that's hiding up your sleeve,
Will cause the world to grieve,
The love you had is gone,
I know you know, they know, we all know.

The dream, in every player's heart,
To win it all not part,
They lie awake at night,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

The game, where gamblers rule the night,
And get your blood they might,
The joker's closin' in,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

La otra canción se titula “That was a Crazy Game of Poker” y pertenece a un grupo menos conocido llamado Of A Revolution.

That was a Crazy Game of Poker
oh my...
My twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left folded down
Well Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
My mind is turning just two shots more
There's not much left to play
Then dude walks in Black hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop, cause I'm just running out of time

Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wallets getting thin and I just lost my watch last night
I got a problem, just one answer got to throw it all down
And kiss that shit goodbye

That was a crazy game of poker
that was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And i never to fold.
Never to fold.

Who's up for game three?
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
I just lost it all
Well there's a man sitting next to me
Red with smiling eyes
It's funny I don't have no money tonight.
yeah...

That was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I never to fall.
Never to fall.

bada....
I say now skitili dat dat dat well how bout that
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back
And I walked into this bar yesterday
Cause I had something to do, something to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me and
I didn't turn around
Until I heard the sound of his feet falling
On the ground, I looked over my shoulder
And I saw a clown
And I said whatcha doing in the bar tonight?
Well I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution?
And he said right.

I say of, ya'll say A, I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, ya'll say A, I say revolution, and you say jah

And I said whatcha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat.
So I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
so he opened the door, and said "whatcha here for?"
I said I'm wanderin' down the road 44
And I said I've been walking for about a thousand years
And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker
So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution?
And he said right.

I say of, you say I, I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, you say I, I say revolution, and you say jahdada

I said that was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw (2x)
But Im not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
I don't give a shit cause I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And I'm feeling kind of funky, kinda fine
And I drank a bottle of whiskey before I came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sitting across the table from me
And to my left was a man he had no chin
I didn't really think about starting a sin
The man to my right, wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
Because I took his money last night
It's kinda funny
Now I'm just struggling
I need a honey bunny
I don't know what to say anymore
So Im just going to go out anywho

I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution?
And he said right.

I say of, you say a, I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, you say a, I say revolution, and you say jahdada
