Favoritas VIII y última

Terminamos la serie que iniciamos hace un tiempo dedicada a mis favoritas de cada componente de los Beatles dentro y fuera del grupo. Cerramos con Ringo Starr y una composición que hizo para su disco Vertical man de 1998. Para este disco, como para muchos de los suyos, se hizo acompañar de unos cuantos artistas de renombre como sus amigos McCartney y Harrison, ademas de Steven Tyler, Alanis Morrisey o Tom Petty.

La canción, Puppet, está compuesta a medias con los componentes del grupo The Roundheads, que también participarán en su siguiente disco Ringo Rama.
Creo que es una buena canción, con buenas armonías vocales y mucha marcha, de las que desgraciadamente se suelen perder al final de muchos discos. Ahí va: Puppet

Y ésta es la letra:
We've been friends for such a long time,
My head has a mind of its own.
I don't wanna wait in no line
All i wanna do is go home.
Something's goin' on inside me,
I won't let it tear me apart.

You got to breakdown to breakthrough,
Growing up took someone like you.
Forget about the things in your head,
It's time to put the puppet to bed.

Don't tell me rome was built in a day, (no way)
You got to leave before you arrive.
If you're willing to give it away, (okay)
It's the only way to survive.
Never up is never in,
You got to lose before you can win.

You got to breakdown to breakthrough,
Growing up took someone like you.
Forget about the things in your head,
It's time to put the puppet to bed, yeah-ah!

Do yourself a favour,
You got to love your neighbour.
Even when the chips are down.

Cut the strings and let me go,
Now this is a one man show.

You got to breakdown to breakthrough,
Growing up took someone like you.
Forget about the things in your head,
It's time to put the puppet to bed.

You got to breakdown to breakthrough,
Growing up took someone like you.
Forget about the things in your head,
It's time to put the puppet to bed.

Alright! Alright! Alright!
