La Canción de la Semana: 07/2010

The Jam - In the City




El grupo del gran Paul Weller. El grupo más pop del Punk Británico de finales de los 70. Frente a la desaliñada imagen de otros grupos Punk como los Sex Pistols o The Clash, los Jam supieron mezclar magistralmente los ritmos de la nueva ola punk con la pulcritud Mod, tanto musical como estética, de grupos como los Small Faces o The Who.

Canción de la semana gracias a la insistencia del gran Sergio Santamaría en que formemos un grupo de música de este estilo...Yo ya he empezado a afinar la guitarra. Lo del traje y la corbata lo dejo para más adelante.



In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you
But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool

I wanna say, I wanna tell you

About the young ideas
But you turn them into fears

In the city there's a thousand faces all shining bright
And those golden faces are under 25

They wanna say, they gonna tell ya

About the young idea
You better listen now you've said your bit-a

And I know what you're thinking
You still think I am crap
But you'd better listen man
Because the kids know where it's at

In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms
And I hope the never have the right to kill a man
We wanna say, we gonna tell ya
About the young idea
And if it don't work, at least we said we've tried

In the city, in the city
In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you
