Решила запихнуть сюда подборку песен времени самого начала карьеры нежно любимых финнов The Rasmus. Сейчас они, разумеется, в печально-тоскливом периоде. В середине 90-х, как раз в начале своего творческого пути, они пели именно фанк. Такой, который неизменно поднимает мне настроение.
Ну что, тронулись.
1996 год, альбом Peep.

PostmanNow we're gonna talk about the postman,
Who brings the paper in the morning,
Who wakes up at the night to make his job right.
With his bike driving all around the city
Delivers papers, oh isn't that pretty.
Seven o'clock paper every, every morning,
Again 'n' again, I think it would be just boring.
About the weather cares he never ever damn.

Like a sunny weather coming by the time
Is dirty water shall be warmer than other local people
And attraction will be generally empty to the mention
Between buildings turning slow...

Now we're gonna talk about Batman,
Who lives in a cave with Robin,
Who wakes up at the night to make his job right.
With his fellow Robin in the city
Catches robbers, oh isn't that pretty.
Number one of the enemies is Joker
Who's in the jail with his friends playing poker.
About men cares he never ever damn.
Say hi, say hello to the Batman.


OutflowYou gotta be fine
If you one day wanna be mine
'n' give me satisfaction twice a day,
Three, four, more, five
You better, better have a body
Which makes me sure I'm not gay.
You gotta give me all, love me more,
Knock everyday at my door.

If you want me you gotta please me
If you want me you gotta
Hey, I want you to adore me
Again 'n' again when I feel alright.
Outflow.

You gotta be hot,
Something like you're not,
'n' beg me under my window twice a day,
Three, four, more, five.
You better, better have a body
Which makes me sure I'm not gay.
You gotta give me all, love me more
- stop.

Is it too much to ask?
Кстати, никак не могу адекватно перевести слово outflow. Знатоки, помогите!


MyselfI have always been different I like to be,
but every time they got something to say to me.
One day I had to be, I made a different me,
but got trouble next day I went school, you see.
Two big fellows, which don't much about like in me,
put me in to the games where I don't wanna be.
In other words no one don't like me there.
Sometimes I really care, I can't be myself.

Then one day I didn't meet the chosen one,
I took a gun, party's just begun.
Inside of me there still lives a part of me,
it put me back to the Earth, where I belong to be.
I get along well with this feeling in my mind,
if I should say something, I would say nothing
'cause I'll kiss my only friend what I've got, ever had
but still I can't ..I can't be myself.

I'm gonna the way I wanna be,
nobody wanna talk with me, no.

Do I have to be or let my feelings free?
Take a look at me, the way I wanna be.
I made decisions right, my feelings came from inside,
I took a drug ride, I felt part of me died.
My life turned from that good to that very bad,
there were only me, my pipe and those drugs I had.
One day I just will be, I'm gonna be real me,
I think I cannot be, I can't be myself!
Согласна, не так позитивно, но мотивирует же.


SmallIf I could be the king of this planet,
I would order some more.
Making rules is not the easiest part of it,
that's a thing that I know.

Can see the mess,
which has cost so much trouble.
Then I guess that it's
poison which bubbles.
I'll say it loud,
that I'm not proud
about the kind of situation.

Asking help from the assholes with power
is one way to betray.
See the trashes coming double in hour.
Scaring, I would say.

Can see the mess,
which has cost so much trouble.
Then I guess that it's
poison which bubbles.
I'll say it loud,
that I'm not proud
about the kind of situation.

Keep laughing to the end of my world.
I know I'm feeling so small,
don't shame it at all,
with pleasure I tell you my friend.

Human race will be judged by the devil.
that's the last thing I want.
To face the destiny 'n' choke in this reef.
Be crushed, you're so weak.

Can see the mess,
which has cost so much trouble.
Then I guess that it's
poison which bubbles.
I'll say it loud,
that I'm not proud
about the kind of situation.

Keep laughing to the end of my world.
I know I'm feeling so small,
don't shame it at all,
with pleasure I tell you my friend.

Keep laughing to the end of my world.
But it's here and it`s now,
I'm gonna tell you somehow,
then I won't say even a word

Альбом 1997 года Playboys.

BlueFollow me come on you know me
Yeah, into the blue
Follow me come on you know me
Yeah, Into the blue

I'll wake you up when the morning comes
A desent cup of coffee with milk, right?
I'll dress you up and tie up your shoes
I'll wish you luck it's the least I can do
Crawling on never looking back
Won't lose your smile though your life is a mess-up
The pressure's like a knife in your back
What can you do when your world is turning into black?

CHORUS
Grab my hand follow me though I'm sinking
Into the sea where the fish don't ever sleep
I solved my case by the way I've been thinking
My mind is resting in the blue
My mind is resting in the sea

Follow me come on you know me...

I'll pick you up and I'll get you down
To the town if you have any spare time
Relax today, nothing's ruling you
I'll take you out it's the least I can do
Once again oh you turn your back
I wonder why you make yourself to do that
No one can bear living in a trap
What can you do when your world is turning into black?

CHORUS

Have I ever made myself clear?
Well, I'll make myself clear now


IceI see you try to avoid me
You ain't so friendly
Cold like ice I can see what that means

Let me explain first why I haven't been around
I let you know why I haven't seen you everyday
Been busy with the band if you know what that means

I heard your'e talking things about me
building barrigades around me
So real friendship
Wasn't real at all it seemed

And if it's so that you're talking shit behind my back
I'll let you know I can fight back in the cruelest way
So I'm asking for peace, If you know what that means

Say it again if you want to depress me
Say it again go ahead
I feel nothing(x2)

You wanna say something to me
Come and say something to me
What is wrong with you may I ask

And if it's so...

Say it again...(x2)


SoldThere you come again, I see you're having your everlasting smile on your
face, like now n' then.
I cannot hide, I cannot fight, I cannot go, you know, you know, you
know,
hey, do you know
that you do not have to entertain anybody, that you do not have to
entertain my cat,
if you don't want that, yeah.
It seems that you don't know that you're twisted by your nature n'
that's the reason
I hate ya.

I'm gone, I can't stay another day.
Roll my mind, hold my hands up in the air.

So here it comes now - a coupple of hard words, yah, yah, I know this
hurts but I'm so, so happy.
'cos you, oh yes, yes, you do really deserve this. Shed a tear when you
want me to stop.
So many times you have made people cry. So many lies, why I'm asking.
I'm the one who will say, hey get out of my way, because you're twisted.
Oh yes you are.

На этом минутка импровизированного олдскула заканчивается. Так-то.
Всем печлен пис, мальчики и девочки!

@темы: music, маленькие радости, я любила это ещё до того, как это стало мейнстримом, лента Мёбиуса красная только с одной стороны, ever never still feel before
