"O Homem do Braço de Ouro"

Estava a fazer umas pesquisas acerca de "O Homem do Braço de Ouro" (ver post anterior) e encontrei uma canção sobre a personagem principal do filme - Frankie Machine -, interpretado por Frank Sinatra. O tema é de Luke Tan, um interessante músico de folk contemporâneo. Fica aqui a música e a letra.

Ouvir tema:
Frankie Machine (The Suicide King)

Laughing like a lover who’s getting what he gives
In a dream that’s just begun
When the morphine hits you can almost touch the sun

Takes the dark and makes it burning bright
Makes this cold world seem like it’s just a big lie
Like you’re back at the top of the rolling wheel

And the throwing of the deal
Brings you back to days of yore
When you had that golden arm
And the swing swung like it should
But in the dead of night
You hear the monkey cry:
There’s a junkie in the hole
Who’s just a wasted life
Betting that he’d gonna die

That’s one you’re bound to win
Any path you choose
So go in all you’ve got
You’ve nothing left to lose
You’ve nothing left to lose
You’ve nothing left to lose
You’ve nothing left to lose
