My Eternal Top's: Nazareth - Shot me down (1977)

Mais uma “aposta” vinda directamente da minha juventude. Na altura era fã do Hardrock, os Nazareth tocavam bastantes vezes no meu gravador de cassetes, juntamente com os The Sweet, os Uriah Heep ou Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
Estes escoceses ficaram muito conhecidos com a balada de rock Love Hurts de 1974, seguindo uma “tendência” deste tipo de grupos que tiveram mais sucesso com canções “soft”. Das 145 (!) canções que tenho desta banda os “slows” se contam pelos dedos, no entanto foram esses que curiosamente fizeram mais sucesso em termos de vendas de discos!





I was feelin' good, kinda high and cruisin'

I was tryin' to forget someone I had been losin'

Then you came along, surprise, surprise

You shot me down

I was lyin' crashed out on the ground

You shot me down

.

I was feelin' fine, mellowed out and easy

I was comin' back down kinda slow and lazy

Then you came along and fired the flame

You shot me down

I was lyin' burned out on the ground

You shot me down, you shot me down

You shot me down

.

I was feelin' good, kinda high and cruisin'

I was tryin' to forget someone I had been losin'

Then you came along, surprise, surprise

You shot me down

I was lyin' crashed out on the ground

You shot me down, you shot me down

You shot me down

Esta canção faz parte do álbum Expect no Mercy
