Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg ist cool: nur er und seine E-Gitarre, dazu seine klare kehlige Stimme und knackige Texte. Good old Folkmusik. Just great! Ich mag den Typen...



Die genialste Stelle ist die Frage, ob es falsch ist, sich bei rumfliegenden Sateliten-Technikteilen etwas zu wünschen, wenn gerade keine Sternschnuppen da sind...

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty two now, but I won't be for long
People ask when will you grow up to be a man
But all the girls I loved at school
are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still
Tho I put you on a pedestal,
They put you on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
(Looking for another girl)
(Looking for another girl)
(Looking for another gi-rl)



Hier noch was Neueres von ihm - mit einem wie immer knallhart-treffendem Text und Melodien zum Eintauchen...

"when people could look up into the sky
and not see a billboard selling a lie"

Eigentlich nicht wirklich hörenswert, aber der Vollständigkeit halber:
Das Lied im Original-Film "Mama's Boy".

Mama's Boy Movie - The best bloopers are here

Ja, ein hab ich noch, ein hab ich noch - und der geht unter die Haut. Genial, einfach genial der Mann...



Oh, nu hab ich doch noch einen. Billy rules!
