Your latest trick - Dire Straits

Qué momentos de mal humor de nuevo... cualquier intento de controlar mis acciones provoca en cascada, tanto un momento embarazoso como la consecuente repulsión y rabia... casi ni me puedo controlar y estoy en esos momentos de odio y conflicto. Por eso estoy lejos de ella, siempre logra en mi el mismo efecto y no voy a soportarlo más.
Esta melodía me fascina desde hace años, nunca tuve el disco (Brothers in arms) por mala suerte, y por malos entendidos: siempre le di demasiado valor al edulcorado Money for Nothing y no me parecía un gran disco. Pero lo es.
15 años después de eso, lo reivindico, y reinvidico también el rock-soft melódico de estos ingleses, que es meláncolico, profundo y virtuoso.
Pero por un carajo... que ganas de apretarte el cuello me provocas a veces... Que sea tu último truco por favor.

All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But now all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
