One day afternon in main square of Vistarino (PV)
Ero alle porte di Vistarino, un anonimo paesino della provincia di Pavia, quando ho iniziato a sentire questa bellissima canzone. A dire il vero l’avevo già sentita distrattamente, ma questa volta mi sono fermato nella piazza principale e l’ho ascoltata tutta d’un fiato.
“I need a dollar” è il titolo ufficiale.
“Mendicare l’amore”, invece, è quello che darei io.
Basta un niente per essere felici eppure non lo vogliamo e ci facciamo del male in un distinguo parossistico e una conflittualità accecante.
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with meBad times are comin and I reap what I don’t sow
hey hey
Well let me tell you somthin all that glitters ain’t gold
hey hey
It’s been a long old trouble long old troublesome road
And I’m looking for somebody come and help me carry this loadBridge:
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Well I don’t know if I’m walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is falling down
And all I want – is for someone – to help meI had a job but the boss man let me go
He said
I’m sorry but I won’t be needing your help no more
I said
Please mister boss man I need this job more than you know
But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the doorBridge:
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Said I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
And I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me
Well i don’t know if i’m walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help meWhat in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe its inside the bottle
Maybe its inside the bottle
I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine
hey hey
And for my good old buddy i spent my last dime
hey hey
My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time
and my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine
Hey Hey
Your mom of mayhem just a child has got his own
Hey Hey
if god has plans for me i hope it aint – written in stone
Hey Hey
because i’ve been working working myself down to the bone
and i swear on grandpas grave I’ll be paid when i come home
Hey HeyBridge:
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Said need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need hey hey
