(heaton/rotheray)
Like the contents of your handbag
You dont know why its there
People ask you where youre heading
You just answer anywhere
We dont mean to be this vague
It just happens that we are
No-one asked us to elaborate
We just shrug our shoulders and be
And like the stories that just happened
No-one thought of, no-one planned
We could have ruled, we could have conquered
Then we could have been a man
We could be ex-husband
We could be ex-wife
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life
Alone, alone
Half an hour is seven hours
One day is several months
Alone, alone
A month is a calendar
A year can be a decade spent
Alone
He knows hello in eighteen languages
I love you in only one
By the time hes got his phrase-book
The chance is usually gone
And we feel ourselves quite prepared
But quite prepared for what
We always took the lead
Before we actually knew the plot
And you can tell where weve been shopping
By the bags beneath our eyes
Make-up shoulders burden
But the smile never lies
We could be ex-husband
We could be ex-wife
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life
Alone, alone
Half an hour is seven hours
One day is several months
Alone, alone
A month is a calendar
A year can be a decade spent
Alone
So empty at the airport
You dont set off the doors
We used to feel like chorus girls
And now we feel like whores
Hearts built like reservoirs
Words built like dams
Thoughts built like juggernauts
Our actions built like prams
And when the wind blows into our face
We should be warmer and not colder
Well, what price the charges
On this cargo that we shoulder
We could be ex-husband
We could be ex-wife
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life
Alone, alone
Half an hour is seven hours
One day is several months
Alone, alone
A month is a calendar
A year can be a decade spent
Alone
And we only smoke when bored
So we do two packs a day
And weve lost the difference
Between bored and lonely anyway
The Beautiful South è un gruppo musicale britannico di pop, attivo dal 1989 al 2007. Fondato da Paul Heaton e Dave Hemingway, ex membri degli Housemartins, il gruppo ha raggiunto grande successo negli anni '90 con un sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi ironici e sarcastici e una vena di malinconia. Oltre a Heaton e Hemingway, la formazione includeva Sean Welch (basso), Dave Stead (batteria) e Dave Rotheray (chitarra). Tra i brani più famosi del gruppo figurano "A Little Time", "Don't Marry Her" e "Old Red Eyes Is Back". The Beautiful South ha pubblicato nove album in studio, tra cui il debutto "Welcome to the Beautiful South" (1989) e l'album di successo "Quench" (1994). Il gruppo si è sciolto nel 2007 dopo una lunga carriera segnata da successi commerciali e un seguito fedele.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
