seeing double Don't you see him there yeah lying in the rubble But

Mark Knopfler, foi gravada entre março de junho de 1981 e lançada
em 24 de setembro de 1982, no disco Love over gold, o quarto disco da
banda. Saiu em compacto com Badges, posters, stickers, T-shirts como
Lado B, em novembro de 1982. Foi produzida por Mark Knopfler. Ò
título é um termo inglês pra fala sobre uma doença relacionada ao
trabalho, uma frequente noticia na imprensa britânica daquele tempo.
Os americanos não entendiam o que queria dizer, pois nos Estados
Unidos chamam de doença ocupacional. Na verdade, a canção fala
mesmo é do declínio da indústria manufatureira britânica no
começo dos anos 1980s. Fala de greves, depressão economica a
clínica. E disfunção social. É uma metáfora, criticando a ideia
de desumanização da rotina e repetição de 9 as 5, todo dia. E que
isso em si é o motivo da doença da sociedade. Quando o narrador vai
ao médico descobre que o que ele tem é industrial disiease. O nome
do médico é Dr. Parkinson, um professor de história da British
University. Ele também foi autor de vários trabalhos sobre
disfunção nas instituições e organizacões. Ele criou a
Parkinson's Law. Brewer's droop é uma piada inglesa pra falar de pau
mole. Brewer's droop é o nome de banda de pub que mark knopfler e
Pick Withers tocaram antes do dire straits. Chegou ao número 75 do
Billboard Hot100.
A letra:
Now, warning
lights are flashing down at quality control Somebody threw a
spanner, they threw him in the hole There's rumors in the loading
bay and anger in the town Somebody blew the whistle, and the walls
came down There's a meetin' in the boardroom, they're tryin' to
trace the smell There's a leakin' in the washroom, there's a
sneak-in personnel Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to
sneeze Goodness me, could this be industrial disease?
Caretaker was crucified for sleeping at
his post Refusing to be pacified, it's him they blame the
most Watchdog got rabies, the foreman got the fleas Everyone
concerned about industrial disease There's panic on the
switchboard, tongues in knots Some come out in sympathy, some come
out in spots Some blame the management, some the
employees Everybody knows it's the industrial disease
Yeah, now the work force is disgusted,
downs tools, walks Innocence is injured, experience just
talks Everyone seeks damages, everyone agrees that These are
classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze On ITV and BBC they talk
about the curse Philosophy is useless, theology is worse History
boils over, there's an economics freeze Sociologists invent words
that mean "industrial disease"
Doctor Parkinson declared, "I'm
not surprised to see you here You've got smokers cough from
smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer I don't know how you
came to get the Bette Davis knees But worst of all young man,
you've got industrial disease"
He wrote me a prescription, he said,
"You are depressed But I'm glad you came to see me to get
this off your chest Come back and see me later, next patient,
please Send in another victim of industrial disease"
Ah! Splendid
Now, I go down to Speaker's Corner, I'm
thunderstruck They got free speech tourists, police in trucks Two
men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong There's a protest
singer, he's singing a protest song
He says, "They wanna have a war,
keep their factories They wanna have a war to keep us on our
knees They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese They
wanna have a war to stop industrial disease
They're pointing out the enemy to keep
you deaf and blind They wanna sap your energy, incarcerate your
mind Give ya "Rule Britannia", gassy beer, page
three Two weeks in España and Sunday striptease" Meanwhile,
the first Jesus says "I'll cure it soon Abolish Monday
mornings and Friday afternoons" The other one's out on hunger
strike, he's dying by degrees How come Jesus gets industrial
disease?

Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh
Well they closed down the auto plant in
Mahwah late that month Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he
couldn't find none He came home too drunk from mixin' Tanqueray
and wine He got a gun, shot a night clerk, now they call him
Johnny 99
Down in the part of town where when you
hit a red light you don't stop Johnny's wavin' his gun around and
threatenin' to blow his top When an off-duty cop snuck up on him
from behind Out in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the
cuffs on Johnny 99
Well the city supplied a public
defender but the judge was Mean John Brown He came into the
courtroom and stared poor Johnny down Well the evidence is clear,
gonna let the sentence, son, fit the crime Prison for ninety-eight
and a year and we'll call it even Johnny 99
Fistfight broke out in the courtroom,
they had to drag Johnny's girl away His mama stood up and shouted,
"Judge don't take my boy this way" Well, son, you got
any statement you'd like to make Before the bailiff comes to
forever take you away?
Now judge, judge I got debts no honest
man could pay The bank was holdin' my mortgage and takin' my house
away Now I ain't sayin' that make me an innocent man But it was
more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand
Well, your honor, I do believe I'd be
better off dead And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts
that's in his head Then won't you sit back in that chair and think
it over just one more time And let 'em shave off my hair and put
me on that execution line (woo)

falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hand Creatures

And whosoever shall be found Without
the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of
hell And rot inside a corpse's shell I'm gonna thrill you
tonight (thriller night, babe)
The foulest stench's in the air The
funk of forty thousand years And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
(I'm gonna thrill you tonight) Are closing in to seal your doom
(oh, yeah) And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts
to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the
thriller
'Cause this is thriller, thriller
night There ain't no second chance against the thing with 40 eyes,
girl Thriller, thriller night You're fighting for your life
inside a killer, thriller
'Cause this is thriller, thriller
night 'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare
try Thriller (ooh-ooh), thriller night So let me hold you tight

You walk out on
the high wire You're a dancer on thin ice You pay no heed to
the danger And less to advice
Your footsteps are forbidden But
with a knowledge of your sin You throw your love to all the
strangers And caution to the wind
And you go dancing through
doorways Just to see what you will find Leaving nothing to
interfere With the crazy balance of your mind
And when you finally reappear At the
place where you came in You've thrown your love to all the
strangers And caution to the wind
It takes love over gold And mind
over matter To do what you do that you must When the things
that you hold Can fall and be shattered Or run through your
fingers like dust

Lincoln, Nebraska, with a sawed-off .410 on my lap Through to the
badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path I can't say
that I'm sorry for the things that we done At least for a little
while, sir, me and her we had us some fun Now, the jury brought in
a guilty verdict, and the judge he sentenced me to death Midnight
in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest Sheriff,
when the man pulls that switch, sir, and snaps my poor head back You
make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap They
declared me unfit to live, said into that great void my soul'd be
hurled They wanted to know why I did what I did Well, sir, I
guess there's just a meanness in this world

Don't leave me
now Leave me out in the pouring rain With my back against the
wall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out with
nowhere to go And the shadows start to fall Don't leave me
now Don't leave me now Leave me out on this lonely road As
the wind begins to howl Don't leave me now Don't leave me
now All alone on this darkest night Feeling old and cold and
grey Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now Leave me
holding an empty heart As the curtain starts to fall Don't
leave me now Don't leave me now All alone in this crazy
world When I'm old and cold and grey and time is gone...

Paul McCartney, foi gravada em 1981, no High Park, Campbeltown, na
Escócia e lançada em 26 de abril de 1982, no disco Tug of war, o
terceiro disco solo de Paul (sem contar os gravados com os Wings).
Foi produzida por George Martin. É um tributo ao relacionamento que
Paul teve com John Lennon, que havia sido assassinado em dezembro de
1980. Foi composta na forma de uma conversa imaginária que os dois
amigos poderiam ter tido. Paul disse que escreveu a canção
chorando. Um verso descreve o dia em que eles ficaram presos em Key
West na Flórida por causa de um furacão, no meio da turnê dos
Beatles na America em 1964. Paul disse que pararam no meio daquele
tumulto e começaram a chorar, sem dizer nada. Paul cantou e tocou
violão. Jack Rothstein tocou violino. Bernard Partridge tocou
violino. Ian Jewel tocou viola e Keith Harvey tocou cello.
A letra:
And if I said I
really knew you well What would your answer be If you were here
today? Ooh Here today
Well, knowing you, you'd probably
laugh And say that we were worlds apart If you were here today,
ooh Here today
But as for me I still remember how
it was before And I am holding back the tears no more Ooh, I
love you, ooh
What about the time we met? (What about
the time we met?) Well, I suppose that you could say that we were
playing hard to get Didn't understand a thing But we could
always sing
What about the night we cried? (What
about the night we cried?) Because there wasn't any reason left to
keep it all inside? Never understood a word But you were always
there with a smile
And if I say I really loved you And
was glad you came along Then you were here today, ooh For you
were in my song, ooh Here today
