Обяснение в любов в 12 точки


Първо да кажа. Това не е обяснение към някого. Може би към един текстописец. Ето какво казват за него - Turner is frequently hailed as the most brilliant lyricist of his generation - the heir to Dylan, Lennon or Cohen - and it is certainly true that he is careful with words (ако ви се чете). 

И още - He says Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magical realism has influenced some of the material on AM. The album's fourth track, Arabella, has a surrealist quality akin to Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Наистина ли, Алекс? Магически реализъм и Маркес? Кой е следващият - Кортасар? Селинджър? Може би за някой следващ албум... Дотогава - този. До изтъркване на грамофонната плоча в главата ми. 


1. The nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day...

2. Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes,
    Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days

3. Some out of tune guitar, soundtrack to disaster

4. When she needs to shelter from reality, she takes a dip in my daydreams... (кой пише така, бе?! кой, по дяволите, пише така?!)

5. ...hit the road and leave me listening to The Stones "2000 light years from home"...

6. It's not like I'm falling in love, I just want you to do me no good
   And you look like you could...

7. Then out of nowhere somebody comes and hits you with an "ooh la la la la"...

8. In my heart there's that hotel suite and you lived there so long...

9. Why'd you only call me when you're high?

10. Forever isn't for everyone,
      Is forever for you?

11. When you know who's calling, even though the number is blocked...

12. I wanna be your vacuum cleaner... - с такава начална фраза това е най-смехотворното, по детски наивно, но и най-трогателно обяснение в любов... Което, между другото, присъства в учебници по английски в UK, съвсем заслужено и благодарение на John Cooper Clarke.


"I don't really know how to write about anything else... I wouldn't want to, either. I think the best songs are love songs really, arent't they?"
