JUEVES - LYRICS ("Johny And Mary – Robert Palmer")

- Johny And Mary – Robert Palmer
 
Johnny's always running around
trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm
that he ain't lonely.
Mary counts the walls
knows he tires easily.
 
Johnny thinks the world would be right
if it could buy truth from him.
Mary says he changes his mind
more than a woman,
but she made her bed
even when the chance was slim.
 
Johnny says he's willing to learn
when he decides he's a fool.
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
when he earns time to.
Mary combs her hair.
says she should be used to it.
 
Mary always hedges her bets.
She never knows what to think.
She says that he still acts like he's
being discovered.
Scared that he'll be caught
without a second thought
running around.
 
Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
trying to talk sense to her.
Mary says he's lacking a real
sense of proportion,
so, she combs her hair.
Knows he tires easily.
 
Johnny's always running around
trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm
that he ain't lonely.
Mary counts the walls,
says she should be used to it.
 
Johnny's always running around,
running around.
 
- Notas: La canción cuenta una relación de pareja entre dos personas. El hombre es un individuo soñador que busca algo que no sabe donde encontrar y que cambia continuamente de opinión y de foco de interés, mientras que la mujer es una persona con los pies en tierra con una visión más estable de la realidad.
- 1. “…hedges …” = El verbo “to hedge” se usa en el mundo de las financias para indicar el diversificar las inversiones, o hacer algo para prevenir el acabar con pérdidas. Con esto se dibuja la personalidad de la coprotagonista de la canción a la que le gusta ir sobre seguro y no correr riesgos.
