Spearmint.

Spearmint | My Missing Days | hitBACK | CD | 2003

- Blur, "Modern Life is Rubbish".
- The Smiths, "Strangeways, Here We Come".
- Pulp, "Different Class".
- As compilações da Kent de northern soul.
- Orange Juice, "Rip It Up".

Esse disco do Spearmint é a junção de tudo isso. E eu tenho certeza que no fim dos anos 2000 esse disco vai estar no meu top 10 da década. Uma pena que ninguém conhece.

i didn't buy you flowers

i didn't buy you flowers
because i didn't actually know you
and though you'd seen me around
you'd think i was some weirdo

i didn't buy you flowers
because we'd only just met
and though i knew you'd love it
you'd think i was too keen

no i didn't buy you flowers
because only the garage was open
and that would seem like an afterthought
not good enough for you

or because i'd seen a film
that said men only buy flowers
when they're feeling guilty
and i didn't want you to think that

i didn't buy you flowers
because the money was so tight
i thought when i next get paid
i'll buy you something lovely

or it was someone selling roses
while we ate our meal
and everyone knows how naff that is
i wouldn't want to insult you

no i didn't buy you flowers
because it was valentine's day
that would be an empty gesture
because that's what everybody does
i don't need to be told when to do it
i'll do it when i mean it

and though i knew you'd love it
i didn't even think of it
and though i had the money
it just wasn't in my mind

Eu estou pulando de alegria aqui, pois estava até cogitando tirar de ouvido as letras de algumas músicas desse disco (o melhor da banda) para colocar no blog, quando digito "spearmint lyrics" no Google e encontro esse novo site.



a happy ending

we were always going to decorate
this was always temporary
we were always going to visit
every city every single gallery
but we always seemed so busy
and we waited so long
yes we waited so long
i'm still waiting
now it's over

i always meant to get in touch with you
i still consider you my best friend
i always meant to be the one to make a call
or write a little letter
but i know there'll be no happy endings now
yes i waited so long
oh i waited so long
and i'm still waiting
now it's over
oh i waited so long
yes i waited so long
and i'm still waiting
now it's over

Mas tem muito mais, como essa... e esta aqui também. Uma de minhas bandas atuais prediletas. Eles têm trocentos discos, lançam todos por uma gravadora própria e não estão nem aí pro sucesso ou coisa assim. Depois escrevo mais sobre eles. *Alguém* precisa fazer isso.
