Kanada är knepigt. Å ena sidan Stars och Godspeed you black emperor!, å andra sidan Celine Dion och James Blunt. Jag står ut med mycket skitradio på jobbet och jag hade kunnat stå ut med James Blunt – om det inte var för den fruktansvärt hemska texten i hans hit. Som en mellanstadie-elev som försöker skriva dikter med ett rim-lexikon ungefär. Till och med min mamma, som inte köpt en skiva sen tidigt sjuttiotal, har köpt skivan.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I’m sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won’t lose no sleep on that,
‘Cause I’ve got a plan.You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
Jag förstår verkligen inte.
