UNA CANZONE

"The 90's"

Picking up the story from where I left off,

it's 1990 now so school can fuck off

I got no GCSEs, nothing higher than a D,

I couldn't tell me mum because she'd batter me

Me and Tate sat on the bowling green, life is a shitter

We had five quid between us, bought us six cans of bitter

I took me ten Benson home and I smoked through the sorrow

If I could just avoid me mum maybe I'll tell her tomorrow

I stumbled through the door and said "Mum, it's like this.

"She said "That man's been on the phone and you've made the list!You're in that boy band, son, come and give us a kiss!"

Phoned up Martin and Rich and carried on getting pissed

"Boys I don't believe it, I'm gonna be famous! Pick you up in a Porsche and buy you lots of trainers.

"I met the other guys, one seemed like a cock

I think it's gonna be like New Kids on The Block

I cant be bothered, 'cause I'm lazy

I hate those that hate me

I can't forgive and it's crazy, baby

Now I'm a video star

Do you know who you are, baby?

I only wanted to get down

I'm making trouble in this town

For the five of us

I adopted four brothers, some I liked more than others

One was like a brother from another mother

But the lead singer made it hard to like him

And I still loved him, despite him

The first three months, you know, I nearly quit

I played snooker with me dad he said "Don't be a dick!

Unload the bullets, your mind is a gun,

You're gonna shoot yourself when they're number one

Now it's dinner with Versace, lunch with Princess Diana

And I'm gonna get battered if I go out with my manor

'cause as much as we were loved we were also hated

The boys got jealous 'cause the girls got plated

Now we're famous and that, and we're dancing and that

And I'm thinking "I can't sing! Why am I stood at the back?"

So fuck the band give me Sambuca and gak

we're all a bag of nerves and not a band of brothers

And now it's breaking my heart because the dream's turned to shit

It ain't broke but I'll break it in a little bit

And I'm always in trouble but I've stopped saying sorry

Everybody's worried "What the fuck's wrong with Robbie?

He's not answering his phone, he's not talking to me

I saw him on the telly at Glastonbury.

"And now I'm running away from everything that I've been

And I'm pissed and I'm fucked and I'm only nineteen

I can't conform no more, I can't perform no more

But the boys know I'm fucked and so they show me the door

And if truth be told I wasn't fit enough to stay

So I put me head down and walked away.

That was the 90s; 90 to 95

by Robbie Williams

Qualcuno si chiederà perchè ho pubblicato il testo di questa canzone...

Beh, diciamo che la prima volta che l'ho ascoltata mi ha molto emozionato, perchè mi ricorda un periodo della mia vita in cui stavo bene, nel senso che gli unici pensieri che avevo erano la scuola (ma era un problema relaticvo...) e la musica. E quindi ho voluto pubblicare questo testo.
