from Oannes *

Ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου τραγούδια του McCartney είναι αυτό. Και αυτές δύο από τις πιο απολαυστικές διασκευές του. Από τον Fats Domino [η φωνή του Paul στην αυθεντική ηχογράφηση μου θύμιζε πάντα τη φωνή εκείνου] και τον Βενεζουελάνο σούπερσταρ της salsa Oscar D’ Leon.

One of my favorite McCartney’s songs is this. And these are two of its most enjoyable covers. From Fats Domino [Paul’s voice on the original recording always reminded me of his] and Venezuelan Salsa superstar Oscar D’ Leon.

❝ Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money when you pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday’s child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
See how they run
Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn’t come
Thursday night you stockings needed mending
See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet ❞
