Ballad of the last payphone
The new pornographersBallad of the last payphone es una canción de The new pornographers.
"Esta canción se inspiró en un cuento de Raymond Carver titulado 'Fat' y cuenta la historia de una persona que visita el último teléfono público de Nueva York, donde actualmente se encuentra, en el Museo de la Ciudad de Nueva York. El narrador no sabe por qué le fascina tanto, pero para nosotros debería ser obvio. Obvio para mí, al menos".

Letra
I had to see it with my very eyes
at the Museum of the City of New York
It had the offhand grace, you will find
in the last ones left alive
Well they took it from Times Square in May
Little fanfare or paid respect
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity,
then it's terminal velocity
Nothing major, man,
It's just the last payphone
I had to see it with my very eyes,
For advice from the just left behind
Reverse the charges!
I tried, but it had no lightning inside
Did you get a good look at their face?
'cause often thieves have not gone very far
And they're not strangers, they rarely are
And they're not strangers...
they rarely are
Nothing major, man,
It's just the last payphone
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity,
then it's terminal velocity
