lyrics

Darling,
it´s gonna be the bluest summer since you left town,
you´re not coming back until September.
After that weekend that we spent together
I thought that things might change betweens us
but obviously they won´t.
I thought I could break down some barriers of yours
but you had time to build them back up.
Now I am all alone, a Petra von Kant living by the phone
and I can´t, and I can´t, and I can´t understand
what you feel, what you feel, what you feel in your heart.
I’m trying to enjoy the summer but in vain.
Frankly, I wouldn´t mind some rain, I wouldn´t mind some rain,
I wouldn´t mind some rain to bring you back to me.

Darling,
my head is playing all these short movies, like you
sucking my fingers whilst being inside my arms.
Sure the moments that we spent by the shower
must have been our brightest hour
or when you stroked my hair
and gave me that kiss in front of your brother.
I got you through a Saturday hangover,
you got me through a Sunday one
but now you never call, wouldn´t be your style at all
and I can´t, and I can´t, and i can´t understand
what you feel, what you feel, what you feel in your heart.
I tried to to make you love me but in vain,
frankly I wouldn´t mind some rain.

Darling,
I´ll take the bus across the country just to reach you.
It´s a long ride but I guess it is worth trying
‘cause staying behind I´m hitting bottom,
at least this way I´ll ask you to your face
“What´s in store for me?!”.
The next morning I´ll be talking to seagulls
instead of sleeping with you.
You´ll tear my heart away but fuck it, I´m going anyway!
And I can´t, and I can´t, and I can´t understand
what you feel, what you feel, what you feel in your heart.
I´m trying to enjoy the summer but in vain
I´m trying to make you love me but in vain
it´s a blue, it´s a blue, it´s the bluest summer
it´s a blue, it´s the bluest summer
I look at the sky for the first traces of grey to ease the pain.
Frankly I wouldn´t mind some rain, I wouldn´t mind some rain,
I wouldn´t mind some rain to wash you away from me.
I wouldn´t mind some rain, I wouldn´t mind some rain
I wouldn´t mind, I wouldn´t mind,
no, I wouldn´t mind!

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
