WE AREA SUDAMERICAN ROCKERS
(J. González) 1988

Son hermosos ruidos
que salen de las tiendas
Atraviesan a la gente
y les mueven los pies
Baterías marchantes
guitarras afiladas
Voces escépticas
que cantan de política
No te asustes
es mejor que te boten
Hoy ya no has llegado a tu trabajo
No atiendas el mensaje
atiende los golpes
Decimos lo que sabes
pero sabemos como hablar
Es como el rock'n roll
pura música basura
Un poco transformada
para que suene igual
Pintamos el mono
pero nos da lo mismo
Plagiando y copiando
como todos los demás
¡Elvis! sacúdete en tu cripta


We are south american rockers
nous sommes rockers sudamericaines

No nos acompleja
revolver los estilos
Mientras huelan a gringo
y se puedan bailar
Nuestra pésima música
no es placer para dioses
Jamás ganaremos la inmortalidad
Flores y amores asunto de niñas
Gritar y patear es aprovechar
Este es un negocio
pero un pésimo negocio
Mentir y robar te da mejor funcionar
¡Presley! sacúdete en tu cripta


We are south american rockers
nous sommes rockers sudamericaines.

South american rockers
South american ilusos
Sin mujeres, sin millones, ni cadillac
Lo hacemos perfecto
lo hacemos fantástico
Y sentimos envidia
de los rockers de verdad...
¡sin ninguna verguenza!
Cause we are south american rockers
nous sommes rockers sudamericaines.

    La diferencia entre rockeros gringos y latinos. No hay millones, ni mujeres ni cadillacs, solo buena musica.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
