Lhasa de Sela no sabía que Stuart Staples ya la había escuchado y que además quería grabar una rola con ella. Lhasa tomó el primer vuelo a Londres. Tomó además un tren de mirada perdida, sorpresa y confusión para acercarse al pueblo donde iban a grabar juntos, y claro, con Tindersticks.
Apenas bajar del tren, Lhasa ya estaba frente al micrófono. No había más tiempo para presentarse. Toma uno. Dos. Tres. Y así...y la rola no quedaba y el tiempo pasaba...Hasta que Staples le dijo que dejara de pensar...que cantaran la rola viéndose a los ojos. Quedó a la siguiente grabación con los ojos de ella en los de él y los de él en los de ella durante todos los segundos que dura. Quedó también una dupla que se repite en That leaving feeling; pero ya no sé si para esa también se miraban a los ojos...

SOMETIMES IT HURTS
You're waisting your time
coming round here
what got you to thinking
there was something new going on
you're waisting your time
coming round here
what got you to thinking
i had a different song?
been lying awake all night
trying to figure out
it's that old song
keeps running around in my head
you're waisting your time
coming round here
but what's good for me
is not necessarely for the best
so play it for me
sometimes it works
sometimes it don't you know
some days it hurts
some days it feels real good
sometimes it hurts
sometimes it don't you know
some days it works so good
i can't see my way home
been climbing these old walls
why don't they screamin
what a cheat you are
(i knock you...)
cos nothing else comes near me
you got this trick on the world
me have the sharpest chisel
the keenest eye
it's just that old song
i only got the one
so play it for me
sometimes it works
sometimes it don't you know
some days it hurts
some days it feels real good
sometimes it hurts
sometimes it don't you know
some days it works so good
i can't see my way home
i may have unscrewed the top
just to hear that sound
i may poor little
just to see the light shining thru
a little sip, but no more
hey, you belong to me now
don't you wander too far
so play it for me
and i'll play it for you
so play it for me
and i'll play it for you
sometimes it works...
THAT LEAVING FEELING
I get that leaving feeling
This time it's here to stay
I've been weighing up the pulling
And pushing me away
The past is so heavy
But it's something I can't leave
And this future is so certain
It just pushes me to my knees
Is that your heart talking
Or just that befuddled mind
The people that you love
They change when you leave them behind
But this rope that is pulling
Is whittled down to a thread
And if I don't start climbing
Pretty soon it'll be over my head
We all have dreams of leaving
We all want to make a new start
Go and pack a little suitcase
With the pieces of our hearts
All those worries and those sorrows
We can just toss them away
Buy a coffee and a paper
And those step on to a train
But I've been too long wandering
Limping around this town
With everything that's pulling me
Is pulling me further down
Go make all your excuses
Go say all you goodbyes
But take a look in the mirror
It's the hardest one you'll ever find
All those worries and those sorrows
You can just toss them away
Go find a new tomorrow
And forget about your yesterdays
So go and pat your kids
And kiss your dog goodbye
Leave your keys on the nail
With the sadness that's in your eyes
Maybe tomorrow, today looks like it's bringing rain
And I'll leave everything in order
I don't want nothing standing in my way
There are jobs that need tending
And the logs that are waiting to stack
And I'll leave everything in order
I don't want nothing that's going to hold me back
