Aerosmith: Living On The Edge

Si Def Leppard fueron mis primeros inicios, Aerosmith se encargó de que cada vez tuviese más interés en los estilos más rockeros de la música.

En 1993 publicaban Get a grip, que a pesar de no estar considerado en general como de los mejores, es un disco que particularmente me encanta. Y una de sus canciones estrella, que escuchó muy a menudo es Livin' on the edge. Es de esas que me enganchó fácilmente.

Es uno de los grupos con mayor prestigio en EEUU, aunque fuera de allí el éxito es menor. Recuerdo el día del concierto en Madrid presentando el disco. Como teloneros tenían a unos tal Extreme, jejeje, y retransmitieron una previa con canciones en directo, entrevistas y no sé que más por los 40 principales. Que tiempos.

Letra:

There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise

We're livin' on the edge

There's something wrong with the world today
The light bulb's getting dim
There's a melt down in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
The mister you're a better man than I

chorus: We're livin on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication-aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
And even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication-aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
And even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I think you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell them no or we can let it go
But I would rather be hanging on

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'

La frase: If you can judge a wise man By the color of his skin The mister you're a better man than I
