letra de tommy & loretta - dutty moonshine

(think you know the story, but this one’s different)

[verse]
meet tommy, a family man
doesn’t do much, or work, was dealt a comfortable hand
his family have given him the world upon a platter
showered him with love and taught him family is what matters

his friends often joke about what might catch his eye
but, no one knew that it would only take a couple lines
in the newspaper, a short piece about how this village girl
had made her own brand in italy, and sold it around the world

her story lingers, and so he writes a letter
states business and how thеy should meet in person to talk better

so now wе meet loretta a lord of the law to be reckoned with
her family chucked her out when she was only a kid
had nothing to her name, until she made sure she did
she built her own ground, that she stands upon
she don’t got time for this

while this young gun is instantly besotted
driven, wowed by this woman and the passion that he spotted
she is interesting and chaste, has dominance and level headed
don’t need anything from anyone
this woman is a weapon
he’s makes his big advance, but is instantly shot down
as she states quite certain she don’t need people around
especially not him, where’s his passion and his drive?
where’s his longing for achievements, that inspire or give pride?

her words lingered like bullets in our tommy’s chest
and knew that now he had some issues to address

[chorus]
think you know the story, but this one’s different
different touch, different times, different wisdoms
different loves, different us, different systems
if only these two had kept their distance

when you look at me, can you tell me what you see?
can you tell me what this means?

[verse]
so, he reflects upon this latest berating
and pretty instantly concludes that effort is worth making
she becomes his passion, and her spirit builds his drive
his family and friends can barely believe their eyes

for the first time in forever, they see him come to life
and they want to meet the girl that has inspired this
passion for success and money
ain’t it funny, it’s almost like loretta made tommy (made tommy)
this chicago typewriter keeps typing his letters
cooking up campaigns and deals to make her business better
and time goes by this weapon can’t be ignored
the change in this man as they talk more

she discovers what it means to be loved
until this time she didn’t know what that was
tommy teaches tenderness, loretta lets him in
that’s how their romance begins

when you look at me, can you tell me what you see?
can you tell me what this means?

[verse]
they become inseparable
soulmates not just lovers
she lets her walls down, like she has for no others
and, shot by shot they take over the world

with nothing to hold them back, and no lessons to learn
their confidence to turn to arrogance
and they start to shoot down every single person who don’t agree with their plans
as their success grows, they barely notice the world changes
darkness, rivarly, and wars begin to rage
and tommy’s family fears the pair has grown too strong
and worry that their damage they inflicted now can’t be undone
and so they plot on how to remove loretta
in the hopes it will make their boy better

and so one day, at the height of their fame
top of their game, she’s given talks on the stage
and in the wings her love gives a wink and wave
and then in the crowd she sees his family take aim

[gunshots and screams]

she’s screaming, bleeding out, she hears the shouts
and as she’s running through this smoky jungle on her knees she’s crouching, fallen, running faster and faster as fast as she can go
eyes swollen in her throat, so long that she’s scared that she might choke

but chokings nothing, her lover has torn her heart into two
she trusted him, but now he’s gone and done what she feared what he would do
now he is running, and to say he is confused is an understatement
never thought love for his family would so quickly turn to hatin’

sheer panic courses through him as he searches for loretta
for ever since he met this women, his life has been so much better
he sees a door and bustles through it desperately
and in it he sees his lover and falls relieved onto his knees

he crawls towards her, but she moves away
he gauges what she is thinking, and then goes to say
but, she quickly interrupts as a tear rolls down her cheek
there is no way she is going to let him speak

she steadies her hand and pulls the trigger
one last breath as his eyes fl!cker
she lays down with him, and she cries at her loss
as his brothers staggers in to find the target they lost

tommy and loretta had it all; love, fear, and fortune
makes it more painful when you fall
ears ringing, she falls defeated and weak
she curses tommy and then kisses his cheek

when you look at me (when you look at me)
can you tell me what you see?
can you tell me
can you tell me
can you tell me what this means?
