General Public - Tenderness

Prezados ouvintes,

General Public é uma daquelas bandinhas que passaram meteóricamente pelo cenário fonográfico e sequer duraram uma temporada de sucesso e 'Tenderness' foi uma das suas principais contribuições para seu nome ficasse eternizado nos anais dos anos 80.

Esta é uma daquelas musiquinhas que recomendo ouvir na beira de uma piscina, numa festa às antigas, com cabelos cheios de mousse, roupas extravagantes e muitas crises existênciais.
Caso vc tenha incinerado a sua indumentária de 20 anos atrás, então procure na locadora mais próxima filmes como 'A Garota Rosa Choque', 'Namorada de Aluguel', 'Rock Roll in High School' ou até mesmo 'Porkys' em sua trilogia pastelão. Prepare a pipoca, o refrigerante e passe uma tarde se divertindo com as adolescentes comédias de costume daquela época.

É verdade: aquilo tudo foi muito divertidamente ridículo! Ainda bem que uma boa parcela da população tomou consciência e melhorou as atitudes! Porque, já imaginou nós até hoje usando jaquetas de couro de duas cores e ainda fazendo os passinhos 'Moon Walking' do Michael Jackson ? Ninguém iria merecer! rsrsrsrsrs

Até a próxima



I don't know when to start or when to stop
My luck's like a button
I can't stop pushing it
My head feels light
But I'm still in the dark
Seems like without tenderness there's something missing
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is it?

I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence

I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here,
But next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?

Whistling in the graveyard
Calling up your girlfriend
Just trying to make her understand
You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
No question (so many questions)
She's going to catch you out boy
It all seems so underhand
Now she's the only thing that ever made you feel like a man,man
Madman, madman

Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
Where is it?

I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here,
But next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?

When you're sick to death of second best, pet
Why should the morning always find you unimpressed?
Is your love like a button?
You can't stop pushing it?
Oh this all night longing can be such a long time
