Si los “listenings” se hicieran con esto, another gallo cantaría…
Dos canciones han marcado para un servidor y el gran Miguel el desgarrador camino por los desolados senderos del Inglés académico de Cambridge, en las idas y venidas a Málaga, de visita a “Pauline-en-la-playa”, “Juan-el-gominas” y el “calvo del acento perfecto” (esto, probablemente, sólo lo vamos a entender nosotros, sorry…). El asfalto de la autovía vibraba con estos acordes, los de dos canciones poco menos que PERFECTAS, cada una en su género y tan distantes en el tiempo. From the United Kingdom, ladies and gentlemen, dos cortes imprescindibles en cualquier discoteca casera:
ART BRUT – Emily Kane:
I was your boyfriend when we were 15
It's the happiest that I've ever been
Even though we didn't understand
How to do much more than just hold hands
There's so much about you I miss
The clumsy way we used to kiss
I wish I convinced you, you've made a mistake
If memory serves, we're still on a break
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
Every girl that I've seen since
Looks just like you when I squint
I know you said it's for the best
I still don't understand why you left
So much about you I miss
Everytime I see a couple kiss
I hope this song finds you fame
I want schoolkids on buses singing your name
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I don't even know where she lives
I've not seen her in 10 years...
9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
All my friends think I'm insane
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
There's a beast in my soul that can't be tamed
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I thought I'd never love again
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
The torch that I hold, is always a-flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I hope this song finds you fame
I want schoolkids on buses singing your name
All my friends think I'm insane
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
Emily Kane, Emily Kane, Emily Kane!
UNDERTONES - Teenage Kick:
Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos i'm all alone
I need exitement oh i need it bad
And its the best, i've ever had
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
(Instrumental)
Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos i'm all alone
I need exitement oh i need it bad
And its the best, i've ever had
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
(Instrumental)
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
