| In my hotel where the band is staying
|
| I’m off desert but what I’d give to not get on that plane
|
| Woke to the sound of birds calling and I wanna water the flowers in the garden
|
| And the maid scooting her tray around the echoey hall
|
| I just want to stay in Portugal today, that’s all
|
| 'Cause when I’m here there’s a sense of calm
|
| People living day to day and enjoying the moment
|
| Last night we found a cozy place and we listened to fado music and we ate steak
|
| And bacalhau and caldo verde
|
| Then we went and got gelato and we drank iced lattes
|
| And the fans have always shown me love (shown me love)
|
| And so have my friends Vasco, Miguel, and Nadia, and Monica (Nadia and Monica)
|
| I can’t complain, I get to visit every year
|
| Last night my driver said my music brought him to tears
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh
|
| I love Portugal
|
| Was listening to Mahavishnu Orchestra’s «Lila's Dance»
|
| As I drifted off into rare afternoon nap
|
| Yesterday, one shot in Minnesota, one in Baton Rouge, and then retaliation in
|
| Dallas
|
| Someone shot and killed five cops
|
| And the cops came back and killed that sniper with a robot
|
| But all was peaceful here at the Seculo Hotel in the Bonfim neighborhood of
|
| Oporto
|
| Now I’m on my way to Zürich at Gate 35
|
| TAP operator by Swiss Airlines
|
| I miss my quiet day in Oporto, sleeping and listening to the many birds sing
|
| And the shoe store that I wanted to shop in
|
| Was closed and, man, it pissed me off
|
| As we drove by twice on the way to soundcheck and on the way to the hotel from
|
| the show that night
|
| I’m gonna return some day, I know it (some day)
|
| I’m gonna buy me a home looking over the river in Oporto (river in Oporto)
|
| Gonna get me a plate of melon and prosciutto and grilled sardines,
|
| a cup of coffee, and a bowl of gazpacho (bowl of gazpacho)
|
| The USA can’t pull the guns from the trolls of the country I live in
|
| Can’t get a grip on gun control
|
| If we’re gonna live with a president who’s a huge fucking asshole
|
| Then believe me, baby, I’m gonna buy me a home in Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / Where the people don’t walk
|
| I love Portugal / They just stroll
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / Where the people go to bars, relax
|
| I love Portugal / and listen to fado
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / Where I feel at peace from my
|
| I love Portugal / head to my toe
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / Particularly I love the city of
|
| Oporto
|
| I love Portugal
|
| At the roadhouse, Room 301, in Zurich
|
| The Bern show is cancelled tomorrow night due to violence and a bunch of crazy
|
| shit
|
| It’s found its way into the venue
|
| I’m not going to sing about it
|
| I’m just gonna read the statement from the promoter to you
|
| «Dear Mark, Dear all at Sun Kil Moon
|
| I have really, really, really bad news. |
| We’re deeply afraid but see ourselves
|
| in circumstances that unfortunately urge us to have to cancel. |
| The Sun Kil Moon
|
| show at Dachstock Reitschule, Bern, the open space in front of our house
|
| Reitschule, Bern is causing increasing troubles with violence and sexes.
|
| An organized drug dealer and the year and months and weeks we decided to shut
|
| the place down and its ongoing activities. |
| For a while, at least ten days,
|
| or maybe longer and find a way of how to deal with our society’s problems
|
| erupted in front of our house, creating a rather explosive atmosphere at times
|
| in front of our house. |
| We’re very sorry that due to this reaction the show with
|
| Sun Kil Moon will have to be cancelled. |
| As we’re in general enforcing this
|
| temporary shutdown, apologies for any inconveniences to you, I know your band
|
| just got into town. |
| Of course we’re gonna pay full agreed guaranteed fee as
|
| well as covering your hotel for 12/7/16. |
| Also tickets will be reimbursed,
|
| it can be used to see your show tonight in Zürich. |
| We strongly hope you
|
| reschedule your concert in Bern next time your band is touring in Europe.
|
| Reitschule remains closed until further notice. |
| Again, my deepest apologies,
|
| but it’s totally out of my control. |
| Let me know if you need any more info
|
| Sincerely, your promoter at Breathing Hope.»
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / And the sparkling Douro River estuary
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / And when I die I want some of my
|
| ashes spread there
|
| I love Portugal / and skip the Hail Mary
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / I’m gonna go back next year and I’m
|
| gonna find that same shoe store
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / It’s gotta be somewhere between the
|
| venue and the Fnac bookstore
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh / And it doesn’t have a goddamned
|
| thing to do with football
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal, I love Portugal, oh, oh
|
| I love Portugal
|
| I love Portugal |
