Hallelujah!!!!!

Finalmente, alguém dotado de um perspicaz bom senso diz algumas verdades sobre os meus ranhosos preferidos. Neste caso, sobre a letra de uma música chamada "Cousins". Veja-se a letra, seguida do comentário inteligente feito no We Listen For You.

Já agora, vamos fazer desta posta um jogo: adivinhem de quem estou eu a dizer mal? Pago um gelado (daqueles que é só nata) ao primeiro que acertar. Mas garanto-vos que subscrevo totalmente a opinião de autor do texto: que letra mais estúpida. Vejam:


AY! AY! AY! AY! AY! AY!

You found a sweater on the ocean floor
They gonna find it if you didn’t close the door.
You and the smile sit outside the side-
In a house on a street they wouldn’t park on the night.

Dad was a risk taker.
His was a shoe maker.
You greatest hits 2006…and a list maker.

Caught in the melody
You eat it, or
You were born with the fevers and-
You’re going to use them all.

(Shitty guitar thing)

(Verse I couldn’t make out)

Me and my cousins,
and
You and your cousins
It’s a line that is always running_
Me and my cousins_
You and your cousins_
I can feel it coming


I understand you find Vampire Weekend cute and cuddly. I know their melodies make you smile and wish you went to an ivy league school. But, PLEASE LISTEN, they are not saying anything! I took too much time trying to write down the lyrics for "Cousins" and what the hell are they trying to say. Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits need to slap these guys with the lyrical bible. Enjoy...or don't. Actually, please don't enjoy these lyrics.
