Whichita Lineman
I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Interlúdio instrumental]
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Instrumental até ao fim]
Escrita por Jimmy Webb e popularizada por Glenn Campbell (os senhores na foto), uma canção tipo "estrada fora", infinitamente americana. Escutei-a recentemente ao rever parte de um filme que abomino - Tarnation, de Jonathan Caouette - mas que tem óptima banda-sonora. Isto no fundo para dizer que I'm still on the line. Pelo menos aqui, independentemente das pausas visíveis nestas semanas.
