Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad

Hay canciones que tienen una magia especial, que nacieron con un fondo auténtico, una inténción, ese es el caso de "Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad". La descubrí a través de la versión de la versión de Matt Dusk, y posteriormente la de Nancy Sinatra. La canción es un auténtico homenaje de U2 a Frank Sinatra recogida en el single "If God Will Send His Angels":


"Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad"

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
You think I'm no good, well I know I've been bad
Took you to a place, now you can't get back
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Walked together down a dead end street
We were mixing the bitter with the sweet
Don't try to figure out what we might of had
Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad

I'm just a singer, some say a sinner
Rolling the dice, not always a winner
You say I've been lucky, well hell I've made my own
Not part of the crowd, but not feeling alone

Under pressure, but not bent out of shape
Surrounded, we always found an escape
Drove me to drink, but hey that's not all bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Guess I've been greedy, all of my life
Greedy with my children, my lovers, my wife
Greedy for the good things as well as the bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Maybe it's just talk, saloon singing
The chairs are all stacked, the swinging's stopped swinging
You say I hurt you, you put the finger on yourself
Then after you did it, you came crying for my help

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
I'm not complaining, baby I'm glad
You call it a compromise, well what's that
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
