1336 – Eagles – Tequila Sunrise (1973)

Escrita por Don Henley e Glenn Frey, foi lançada em 17 de abril de 1973 no disco Desperado e em um compacto que tinha Twenty-one como Lado B. Chegou ao número 64 no Billboard Hot 100 e número 68 no Canadá. Foi regravada por Alan Jackson. Henley e Frey não compuseram nenhuma canção pro disco de estréia da banda e então decidiram se juntar pra compor pro segundo disco. Logo na primeira semana fizeram Tequila Sunrise e Desperado. Frey disse que a canção veio deitado no sofá, com um riff metade mexicano e metade Roy Orbison. Fala de um cocktail que era muito popular na época. A frase take another shot of courage foi inserida pois eles chamavam tequila de Instant Courage. Eles disseram que quando queriam falar com uma menina e não tinham coragem e bastava tomar uns shots de tequila e partiam pro ataque. Glenn Frey canta e toca violão. Don Henley toca bateria, maracas e faz backing vocals. Randy Meisner toca baixo e faz backing vocals. Bernie Leadon tocou guitarra elétrica, os solos de violão e faz backing vocals.

A letra:

It's another tequila sunrise
Stirrin' slowly cross the sky
I said goodbye

He was just a hired hand
Workin' on a dream's he planned to try
The days go by

(O-o-o-h...) Every night when the sun goes down
(O-o-o-h...) Just another lonely boy in town
(O-o-o-h...) She's out runnin' round

She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long

Oh and it's a hollow feelin'
When it comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends

(O-o-o-h...) Take another shot of courage
(O-o-o-h...) Wonder why the right words never come...
You just get numb...

It's another tequila sunrise
This old world still looks the same
Another frame

O-o-o-h... ooh

For the way that you came to me
Anyway, it had to be
Two minds, one destiny

Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue life's energy
Out the blue you came to me

All my life's been a long slow knife
I was born just to get to you
Anyway, I survived
Long enough to make you my wife

Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue life's energy
Out the blue you came to me

Like a UFO you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue life's energy
Out the blue you came to me

A letra:

Hey bus driver, keep the change
Bless your children, give them names
Don't trust men who walk with canes
Drink this and you'll grow wings on your feet
Broadway Mary, Joan Fontaine
Advertiser on a downtown train
Oh, Christmas crier bustin' cane
He's in love again

Where dock worker's dreams mix with panther's schemes
To someday own the rodeo
Tainted women in VistaVision
Perform for out-of-state kids at the late show

Wizard imps and sweat sock pimps
Interstellar mongrel nymphs
Oh, Rex said that lady left him limp
Love's like that (sure it is)
Oh, Queen of diamonds, ace of spades
Newly discovered lovers of the Everglades
They take out a full-page ad in the trades
To announce their arrival

And Mary Lou, she found out how to cope
She rides to heaven on a gyroscope
The Daily News asks her for the dope
She said, "Man, the dope's that there's still hope"

Senorita, Spanish rose
Wipes her eyes and blows her nose
Uptown in Harlem she throws a rose
To some lucky young matador

O quarteto de mulheres que fazem o backign vocal variam as partes delas, aumentando o volume e eco na medida que a peça ganha intensidade. Gerry O'Driscoll, porteiro dos Estúdios Abbey Road, aparece no minuto 1:37 dizendo que não há lado escuro da lua, que tudo lá é escuro, o que tem de claro é iluminado pelo sol. No momento em que O'Driscoll estava gravando sua parte, estava tocando no auto-falante a versão instrumental de Ticket to ride e acidentalmente ficou gravada na edição de Eclipse. Roger Waters tocou baixo e cantou. David Gilmour tocou as guitarras e fez backing vocals. Richard Wright tocou orgão Hammond e fez backing vocals. Nick Mason tocou bateria e efeitos de tape.

A letra:

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel

And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save

And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal

And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say

And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)

And all that you slight
And everyone you fight

And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

You don't ever know the time
But you don't mind

Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho

When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
What's the use of worrying?

When your bus has left the stop
You'd better drop your hurrying
What's the use of hurrying?

Leave me alone Mrs Vanderbilt
I've got plenty of time of my own

What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?

Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho

What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?

Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho

When your pile is one the wane
You don't complain of robbery, ah no
Run away don't bother me
What's the use of worrying? (no use)
What's the use of anything?

Leave me alone Mrs Washington
I've done plenty of time on my own

What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying? (no use)
What's the use of anything?

Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho
Ho hey ho, ho hey ho

And there's music in the street

Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras
In the city of my dreams
You can legalize your lows
You can wear your summer clothes
In the New Orleans

And I will lay my burden down
Rest my head upon that shore
And when I wear that starry crown
I won't be wanting anymore

Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
Let the music wash your soul
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat
Of Jelly Roll

I see ten thousand chariots (ah-ah-ah-ah)
And they coming without horses; (coming without horses)
The riders - they cover their face, (ah-ah-ah-ah)
So you couldn't make them out in smoky place -
(make them out in smoky places)
In that musical stampede, where everyone is doing their thing.
Musical stampede - people swingin';
Musical stampede. Someone say:
People, ride on! (keep a-ridin'!)

She is dressed in the same pollution; (dressed in the same pollution)
Her mind is confused with confusion:
To my problem seems there's never - never no solution!

I've become a night-life raver
And I'm beggin' you, (please) please, please -

A letra:

You are my weakness
You are my strength
Nothing I have in the world
Makes better sense
'Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea

When we're together
Oh, when we're apart
There's never a space in between
The beat of our hearts
'Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree

One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for

You yeah,

You yeah

you yeah

Oh-oh

You are my woman
I am your man
Nothing else matters at all
Now I understand
That I'm the door and you're the key

And every morning
I wake in your smile
Feeling your breath on my face
And the love in your eyes
'Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee

One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for
Us two yeah
You too yeah

You yeah
Oh-oh

'Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea
'Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree
'Cause I'm the door and you're the key
'Cause you're a honey and I'm the bee

A letra:

Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted

Oh, But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too

I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
Oh, and my electric surges free

Oh, Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Oh, Reveal yourself all now to me, girl, while you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask

Oh, And don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
You and your pony face and your Union Jack

Well, take your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way, even when I really cracked
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound (all right)

And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god?
You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
And the band, they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
And that ragged, jagged melody, she still clings to me like a leech

But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth that I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
'Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
And you should know that's true

I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free

A letra:

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games
And daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade
You make the change
You rearrange me 'till I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
And there's someone in my head, but it's not me

And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
