Julian Cope

1984, Julian Cope en estado de gracia: “World Shut Your Mouth” y “Fried”. Dos discos, dos obras maestras absolutas, las imprescindibles de su excéntrica discografía en solitario. “Sunspots”, “O King of Chaos”, “Elegant Chaos”, “Kolly´s Kibber´s Birthday”, y sobre todo, “Head Hang Low” y “Greatness and Perfection”. Escritura magistral. Con éstos y con la obra al completo de Teardrop Explodes, Julian se podía haber echado a dormir, porque hay pocos periodos tan iluminados como este.

The greatest imperfection is love love love

But I can’t keep the fire away

Take your place

But take your time

and that’s what matters

I can see

The contours in your face

Faith, and now I think

It’s time to sleep, sleep

Sleep, with me

Here’s something rather deep

The greatest imperfection is love love love

But I can’t keep the fire away

It’s only fair

They take away my light

I spend my time with you

What’s the matter with that rhyme

And who are you

To give my life so much meaning

I can’t stand so much meaning

Hold my hand, cos I’m not healing

I need to find away ahead

The greatest imperfection is love love love

But I can’t keep the fire away
