What do I think of this?

One of the few countries that does seem to benefit from the dreaded diaspora vote, even when their songs are utter rotten fish-heads, the Portuguese have recently caught a nice cod following dozens of crappies. After the last few years of looking like they were dredging the sea bed and coming up with something other than a whale carcass, they have comfortingly returned to the dark depths with this abyss of a song.

Filipa is actually a sweet looking girl with a nose for a good wedding dress, it's just that her promotional pics were as strong as Sid Little trying to reel in a pike. So it's a shame that she netted "ha dias assim", a song that appears to follow the rules of haiku, but being more like hake poo.
After all that shite marine metaphor, it only leaves me to say that Portugal will sink without a plaice in the final.. I thank you.

KPI's - Pointless candleabra on a piano, erm...

There are such days

There are such days
That leave us alone
The soul empty
The hurt in our voice

We wore away our hands
We hold them tight so much
There are no words anymore
Because we kept quiet so much

There is a song
Which I have not sung to you
Verses that are still to rhyme
Poems that I have never invented

Who set us this way?
The life torn
Who took you from me?
Stole my soul
But does not know a thing about you

There are such days
There is no need to hide
Fear words
To love or to suffer

To hide senses
To pretend they do not exist
There are lost days
Here and there

There is a song
Which I have not sung to you
Verses that are still to rhyme
Poems that I have never invented

Who set us this way?
The life torn
Who took you from me?
Stole my soul
But does not know a thing about you

I know one day you will know
That life is only one
It does not turn back

Who set us this way?
The life torn
Who took you from me?
Stole my soul
But does not know a thing about you

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is it Filipa Azevedo
Or really rather cruelly, is it the creepy girl from The Ring
