Alanis M.

I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theater?
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And i'm not going to fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it ... well can you feel it?

Alanis Morissette "you oughta know"

Durante os meus anos de adolescência sempre fui grande fã de Alanis Morissette, ainda hoje admiro mulheres que como ela têm uma grande personalidade, presença, longe de serem modelos mas têm muito glamour, dizem o que pensam, defendem grandes causas, gostam de passar despercebidas e manter a sua vida em privado... Ela é tudo isso e certamente é por isso que ainda ouço as suas músicas e sei as letras de mais de metade delas de cor.

Durante anos até tive o apelido de "Alanis"!

Trazia no meu carro o cd (o ORIGINAL sim!) Unplugged e tenho ouvido imenso... Achei que seria uma óptima ideia partilhar, sobretudo esta música, porque nela Alanis é tudo que já descrevi mas também por que esta música leva-me a pensar numa palavra que me têm tirado horas de sono estes últimos tempos: "TRAIÇÃO". Mas não a traição como muitas vezes associamos logo a "adultério"... Estou a falar na traição quando alguém construiu sonhos connosco ou fez promessas e não as cumpriu... Aquele vazio que fica e aquela dor por dentro em que nos apetece gritar , como Alanis faz e atirar tudo a cara desse alguém!

"And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know"
