Senses Working Overtime
Hey hey,the clouds are whey,
There's straw for the donkeys
And the innocents can all sleep safely
All sleep safely.
My my, sun is pie
There's fodder for the cannons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All sleep safely.
And all the world is football shaped,
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in,
I've got one, two, three, four, five senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure and
The church bells softly chime...
Hey hey, night fights day,
There's food for the thinkers
And the innocents can all live slowly
All live slowly
My, my the sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty and the guilty ones can
All die slowly all die slowly.
And all the world is biscuit shaped,
It's just for me to feed my face
And I can see,hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two,three, four, five sense working overtime
Trying to take this all in,
I've got one, two, three, four, five senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure and the church bells softly chime...
And birds might fall from black skies
And bullies might give you black eyes
And buses might skid on black ice
But to me it's very very beautiful (England's glory!)
Beautiful (a striking beauty!)
And all the world is football - shaped,
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste -
And I've got one,two,three,four,five senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in,
I've got one,two,three, four,five senses working overtime
Try to tell the difference 'tween the goods and crimes,
Dirt or treasure and there's
One, two, three, four,five senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in,
I've got one, two, three, four, five senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure and the church bells softly chime...
Significado de la letra
En 'Senses Working Overtime' de XTC, la melodía nos transporta a un mundo donde los sentidos se despiertan con fuerza. Las nubes se desvanecen, dejando paso a un cielo de paz donde los inocentes pueden dormir seguros, mientras el sol brilla con una calidez reconfortante. El mundo se percibe en forma de balón de fútbol, listo para ser pateado en el espacio infinito.
Cada verso nos invita a apreciar la riqueza sensorial que nos rodea: ver, oír, oler, tocar, saborear. Los cinco sentidos trabajan arduamente para captar cada detalle, cada matiz entre lo amargo y lo dulce, el dolor y el placer, mientras las campanas de la iglesia tañen suavemente en el fondo.
La dualidad de la vida se refleja en la lucha entre la noche y el día, la comida para el pensamiento y las lágrimas de un cielo que llora por los sedientos. A pesar de los posibles peligros y desafíos, la belleza de este mundo, incluyendo la forma de biscuit del planeta, no deja de asombrarnos y de recordarnos la gloria de Inglaterra.
La canción nos invita a saborear la complejidad de la existencia, a distinguir entre lo bueno y lo malo, lo valioso y lo mundano. En un intento por captar todo lo que nos rodea, nuestros sentidos trabajan incansablemente, mientras nos guían a través de la riqueza de sensaciones que nos regala este viaje llamado vida.
