Babies
He decido llevarle la letra de este emblemático tema de Pulp a mi profe de inglés, a ver qué cara pone. La canción dice:
Well it happened years ago when you lived on Stanhope Road.
We listened to your sister when she came home from school
'cos she was two years older and she had boys in her room.
We listened outside and heard her.
Alright. Well that was alright for a while but soon I wanted more.
I want to see as well as hear and so I hid inside her wardrobe.
And she came round four and she was
with some kid called David from the garage up the road
I listened outside I heard her.
Alright. Oh I want to take you home.
I want to give you children. You might be my girlfriend, yeah.
When I saw you next day I really couldn't tell
'cos you might go and tell your mother.
And so you went with Neve and Neve was coming on
And I thought I heard you laughing when his Mum and Dad were gone.
I listened outside, I heard you. Alright. Oh I want to take you home...etc.
Well I guess it couldn't last too long.
I came home one day and all her things were gone, I fell asleep inside.
I never heard her come. And then she opened up her wardrobe and I had to get it on.
Oh, listen we were on the bed when you came home, I heard you stop outside the door.
I know you won't believe it's true, I only went with her 'cos she looks like you.
Oh I want to take you home… etc.

Para que lo escucheis, os dejo las dos versiones que hay en YouTube, una vesión Jarvis Cocker "colores-popis" y otro versión Jarvis "macarrilla-trasnochado". Ya me direis cuál os gusta más.

Yo creo que la letra da mucho juego, no? y para corroborar esta opinión os pongo un comentario que he encontrado por Internet:
"Recomiendo encarecidamente la escucha de Pulp, el único grupo al que he oído cantar sobre temas tan pintorescos como la tercera edad, la adolescencia, la gente corriente, los maltratos domésticos y la religión..." Aquí.

A mi me gusta más el de macarra tirillas con pelo en pecho, el de los colorines es demasiado artificial(en plan nuevo grupo de moda al que retocan el estilismo pa que triunfen)..
A mi también. Parece que haya ido de marcha y que esté aún de resaca.
lights, camera, action, setting, theme, marrative, chorus, cut, jump cut, lip-sync, climax... bru-tal!
Para videos de música os hago esta recomendación:

A ver que os parece esta profunda reflexión sobre la naturaleza humana y su psique. Saludos, especialmente a Bea.
Estoy de acuerdo con el estribillo de la canción. Sobre todo en el ascensor.
