(Neil Tennant / Chris Lowe)
(You gotta wake up)
You don't commit to me
You won't make a start
You don't tell me no
You haven't got the heart
You sit in a chair
Or you lie in bed
With a faraway stare
And a swollen head
Well, listen here my lover
I have had enough
And I can tell you brother
I could fall in love
With someone who
Looks a lot like you
But gets up and does
What he's thinking of
I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice you have to make
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
I want to catch a plane
To an open space
I want to feel the sun
Shining on my face
But time is short
And waiting is long
And my patience is exhausted
I'm just not that strong
I want to see the parade
You wanna watch TV
So we don't do either
It's insanity
You say there's plenty of time
And life is good
So you never make your mind up
Well you never could
I can ask you when or why
And you'll look up to the sky
The parade is marching by
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
Daydreaming, oh, oh, daydreaming, daydreaming
You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up
(Leave me alone I'm only dreaming)
You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up
(Leave me alone I'm only dreaming)
You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up
(I'm only dreaming), oh, oh
I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice you have to make, oh, oh
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've gotta choose right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all night long
(Daydreaming)
So many times
(Daydreaming)
Things pass you by
(Daydreaming)
You've gotta choose right from wrong
(Daydreaming)
All day long
All day long
Dusty Springfield, nome d'arte di Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien (Londra, 16 aprile 1939 – Henley-on-Thames, 2 marzo 1999), è stata una cantante britannica il cui impatto sulla storia del costume e della musica popolare britannica del XX secolo è paragonabile a quello che Mina ha avuto in Italia o Dalida ebbe in Francia. Mary è la secondogenita di Gerard e Catherine (Kay) O'Brien, immigrati irlandesi stabilitisi in uno dei quartieri operai della periferia nord di Londra. Cresce nel sobborgo di Ealing e già da bambina si guadagna il soprannome di Dusty per il suo atteggiamento da maschiaccio. Eredita la passione per la musica dal nonno materno, che la incoraggia ad ascoltare autori come George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington e Glenn Miller. Il suo modello musicale da ragazzina è Peggy Lee. Nel 1958 lascia la scuola e, rispondendo a un annuncio su un giornale, si unisce al gruppo delle Lana Sisters. Grazie a questa esperienza impara l'armonia vocale e il lavoro di palcoscenico. Nel 1960 inizia la sua carriera solista con il nome d'arte Dusty Springfield, ottenendo subito successo con brani come "I Only Want to Be with You" e "Stay Awhile". Nel corso degli anni '60 e '70 raggiunge fama internazionale grazie a album come "Dusty in Memphis" (1969), considerato un capolavoro del soul britannico. La sua voce potente, il suo stile elegante e la sua capacità di interpretare brani pop, soul e rhythm and blues con grande sensibilità l'hanno resa una delle artiste più ammirate della sua generazione. Dusty Springfield è stata anche una pioniera per le donne nella musica, sfidando i canoni di genere e ottenendo un successo duraturo nonostante le difficoltà del mondo musicale.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
