Juventude perdida

Aqui há um par de semanas falei da letra de "Time To Pretend", dos muito recomendáveis MGMT. Depois de só agora ouvir a estreia em disco dos The Teenagers, Reality Check, acho que vale a pena também destacar o acutilante texto que acompanha a faixa de abertura, "Homecoming", sobre duas visões opostas sobre o mesmo "amor": a do britânico e a da americana, a do rapaz e a da rapariga. Como este, há neste álbum vários outros exemplos de inspirados poemas sobre os amores e desamores desta juventude ávida por sexo e romance.

[male]"last week, I flew to san diego to see my auntie.
on day one, I met her hot step-daughter.
she's a cheerleader, she's a virgin, and she's really tan.
as she stepped out of her massive car,
I could only notice she was more than fuckable.
I think she was coming back from the game or something,
'cause she was holding those silly pom-poms
on day two, I fucked her, and it was wild.
she's such a slut."

[chorus]
[male] I fucked my american cunt
[female] I loved my english romance
[male] I fucked my american cunt
[female] I loved my english romance
[male] it was dirty, a dream came true
just like I like it, she's got nice tits
[female] it was perfect, a dream came true
just like a song by blink 182

[female] "ok, listen girls:
I met the hottest guy ever.
basically, as I was stepping out of my SUV,
I came face to face with my step-cousin or whatever, who cares?
anyway, he was wearing skinny jeans, had funky hair
and the cutest british accent ever.
straight away, I could tell he was rocker
from his sexy attitutde and the way he looked at me.
mmmmmm, he is totally awesome!
oh my god, I think i'm in love"

[chorus]
[male] I fucked my american cunt
[female] I loved my english romance
[male] I fucked my american cunt
[female] I loved my english romance
[male] it was dirty, a dream came true
just like I like it, she's got nice tits
[female] it was perfect, a dream came true
just like a song by blink 182
[male] I fucked my american cunt
[female] I loved my english romance
[male] I fucked my american cunt
[female] I loved my english romance

[male] "it was so nice to meet you"
[female] "the pleasure was all mine, I do like you
come to cancun for spring break"
[male] "I'll think about it, it could be great"
[female] "and don't forget to send me a friend request!"
[male] "as if!"
