Álbum Money And Cigarettes de Eric Clapton - Canciones

Money And Cigarettes

Reseña
Con Money and Cigarettes, de 1983, Eric Clapton entrega una de sus obras más personales y, al mismo tiempo, más roqueras de los años 80. Este trabajo, de hecho, llega tras un período de rehabilitación y, como su título indica ("Dinero y cigarrillos", lo único que, según él, le quedaba), es un nuevo comienzo. Por lo tanto, el disco está lleno de una energía renovada.
En consecuencia, la producción del álbum, a cargo del legendario Tom Dowd, es directa y contundente. Para la grabación, Eric Clapton se rodea de una banda de músicos excepcionales, incluyendo al guitarrista Ry Cooder. Como resultado, el sonido es de un rock and roll y un blues-rock de una gran calidad.
Además, el álbum contiene el exitoso sencillo "I've Got a Rock 'n' Roll Heart", un tema de pop-rock optimista y pegadizo. Por otro lado, la mayoría del disco es un regreso al blues-rock más enérgico.
En definitiva, 'Money and Cigarettes' es un trabajo de una gran honestidad, el sonido de un artista que se recupera y que vuelve a encontrar en el rock and roll su mejor terapia.

[X]letra de Everybody Oughta make a change
Change in the weather,
Change in the sea,
Come back baby,
You'll find a change in me.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We have to go down in that lonesome ground.
I changed suits,
I changed shirts,
I changed, baby,
Just to get shed of the dirt.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.
I changed honey,
I changed money,
I changed, people,
Just to keep from being funny.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.
Change in the ocean,
Change in the sea,
Come back baby,
You'll find a change in me.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground. - The Shape You're in 4:08

[X]letra de Man Overboard
You say you do when you don't -- you say you will when you won't.
You make me laugh make me cry -- you make me live make me die.
You put me in put me out -- you make me scream make me shout.
You pick me up put me down -- you make me king make me clown.
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.
You can turn on the light in the middle of the night.
You can put me to rest, what you do is the best.
You can turn me away and get me back the next day.
You can fill up my heart or you can tear it apart.
Chorus
You got me so excited you put my heart on overload.
You got my soul ignited -- I'm getting ready to explode.
There ain't no early warning for what I'm going through.
I got the fever in the morning because my heart is set on you.
Chorus - Pretty GirlVer letra 5:29
[X]letra de Pretty Girl
Pretty girl you are the light of my life,
I mean my everything.
You are the one I chose to make my wife,
That's why you wear my ring.
And when I'm feeling down and out,
You're the one who will bail me out.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.
Pretty girl don't ever say goodbye,
Don't ever let me be,
If you do, you know that I would die,
You mean that much to me.
And when I'm feeling low and blue,
You always know just what to do.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.
Repeat First Chorus
Pretty girl, hear what I have to say,
It's something you should know,
You brought me sunshine on my darkest day,
That's why I love you so.
And when my wandering day is through,
I'll always hurry back home to you.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl. Composición: Eric Clapton - Man In LoveVer letra 2:46
[X]letra de Man In Love
You're always in my hair, you keep me feeling fine.
I celebrate every time I realize you're really mine
'Cause I'm a man in love,
Yes I'm a man in love.
I tell it everywhere I go,
I want the whole world to know
That I'm a man in love.
I used to be so sad, like a dog without a bone
And then you gave me something baby I had never known.
Chorus
I love to see you walk up and down the street,
You look so pretty baby from your head down to your feet.
Chorus
Well, the minutes seem like hours, and the hours seem like days
And the days they seem like years everytime you go away.
Chorus Composición: Eric Clapton - Crosscut SawVer letra 3:30
[X]letra de Crosscut Saw
I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I cut your wood so easy for you,
You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"
Some call me Woodcutting Sam,
Some call me Woodcutting Jim.
The last girl I cut wood for,
She wants me back again.
I'm a crosscut saw,
Baby, drag me across your log.
I cut your wood so easy for you,
You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"
I got a double-bladed axe
That really cuts good.
Well, I'm a crosscut saw,
Gonna bury me in your wood.
Chorus Composición: R.G. Ford - Slow Down LindaVer letra 4:14
[X]letra de Slow Down Linda
Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than Wednesday and you know I can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything I know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere I go.
If I can catch you for a minute I know you'll take a chance with me.
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you think that you could save a little time with me?
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company?
I've seen you speeding down the highway when you ought to dig the scenery.
And you can wolf down your dinner in the time it takes to drink my tea.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer you always go too fast for me.
Chorus
I think that you're getting too old to be running around,
I think that it's time you thought about settling down,
So slow down, slow down Linda,
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer, you always go too fast for me.

Chorus Composición: Eric Clapton - Crazy Country HopVer letra 2:46
[X]letra de Crazy Country Hop
Way down in a country town one day
A little ole' country band began to play.
They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone;
When the leader said go them cats began to blow.
Ooh wee oh oh,
Ooh la la, let's rock and roll.
Now all the poeple gathered 'round
Just to dig that rockin' rollin' sound.
Suddenly the drummer rang a bell
And all them country cats began to yell.
Chorus
Ole' MacDonald did a crazy bop
Said it's time to milk my cow, I got to stop,
But just before I cool it and cut out
Here's something all you cats can think about.
Chorus
Snaggle-toothed Malinda was a drag,
She latched onto a dude who showed up stag.
He tried to run and then he tripped and fell;
She kissed him and we all could hear him yell.
Chorus
Well, a hound dog ran a polecat into town,
Brought him to the dance and laid him down.
Someone hollered skunk and you can bet
All them country cats is runnin' yet.
