Ataque en Londres: Cambio de contexto de la letra de una canción


Es loco ver como en ciertas situaciones una canción, (poesía o algo escrito) puede connotar diferentes sensaciones en distintas situaciones (es bastante obvio).

Lo cierto es que, hace un rato miestras leía información del atentado Londres se me vino a la cabeza la letra de un tema de los Smiths: "THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT", de su disco The Queen is Dead (1986).

(Copio la primer estrofa y el estribillo)

Take me home tonight
where there's music and there's people
who are young and alive
driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one anymore

Take me home tonight
because I want to see people
and I want to see life
driving in your car
oh please don't drop me home
because it's not my home, it's their home
and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
crashes in to us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
