because my tears are full of eyes


Ni siquiera hace un año que tocamos por última vez este tema y sin embargo lo teníamos desterrado de la memoria. Suponemos que debe ser por los problemas técnicos que siempre acarreaba la audacia de hacer que el mismisimo e.e.cummings nos acompañara en el escenario. El hecho es que esta misma noche en el ensayo hemos desempolvado este viejo tema y nos ha dejado un buen sabor de boca. Probablemente volvamos a jugarnos el tipo invocando al maestro en directo. Seguro que merecerá la pena...

"i want a fortune".
At which (smiling) he stops:

one fatal faded(pinkish or
yellowish maybe)piece
of pitiful paper-
but now, as Mr bowing Cockatoo
proffers the meaning of the stars

are full of eyes) appears. Because
only the truest things always
are true because they can't be true
