Kids are spitting on the Town Hall steps & frightening old ladies.
I dreamt that I was living back in the mid 1980s,
People marching, people shouting, people wearing pastel leather.
The future's ours for the taking now, if we just stick together.
And I said
"Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town".
Well my body sank below the ground, it became as black as night,
Overhead the sound of horses' hooves, people fighting for their lives.
Some joker in a headband was still getting chicks for free
And Big Brother was still watching you, back in the days of '83.
And I said
"Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town".
Well by 1985 I was as cold a cold could be,
But no-one was underground to dig me out and set me free.
87 socialism gave way to socialising,
So put your hands up in the air once more, the north is rising...
And I said
"Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town"
Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah,
Don't let them fool you again, sing Hallelujah.
By now I'm sick & tired of just living in this hole,
So I took the ancient tablets, blew off the dust,
Swallowed them whole.
Oh come on, let's get together,
Oh come on, the past is gone,
Well the very first Commandment:
Come on, come on,
Let's get it on, come on let's get it on.
Get it on. Get it on.
Hey, lay your burden down,
Seems the last day of the miners' strike
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town.
Pulp is a British rock band formed in Sheffield in 1978 by Jarvis Cocker, singer and primary songwriter, along with some schoolmates. After an initial phase characterized by frequent changes in the lineup and musical experimentation in various genres, success came in the 1990s with an indie rock sound heavily influenced by British popular culture. Pulp is considered one of the most important bands in the English music scene of the 1990s, thanks to albums like *Different Class* (1995) and *This Is Hardcore* (1998), which achieved great critical and commercial success. Jarvis Cocker is known for his provocative style and theatrical performances on stage. Among the band's most representative songs are "Common People", "Disco 2000" and "Babies".

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
