Wiped out in the city slick
Another sick rock 'n' roller acting like a dick
Needing cash
Burning through the trash
That piles up in this place
And fills up behind my empty face
Full of things that I'm not to do
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
I run down to the corner lot
It's forty-five past two
I almost forgot to show
Got a date to make with Mr. So-and-So
After which
I won't care when you all start to bitch and moan
About being alone
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
Well, can't you just leave me alone?
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones
You had to send my way
Well, can't you just leave it at that?
And spare us both the bother
Because I just bounce back anyway
I got nothing that I want to do more
Than make another sonic "fuck you" to play
Whenever you make my life cliché
So to fit in some little box with the all the labeled shit
You would say to keep confusion away
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away
The lyrics LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER of ELLIOTT SMITH is also present in the album New moon (2007)
Elliott Smith, pseudonimo di Steven Paul Smith (1969-2003), è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense noto per la sua musica introspettiva e malinconica. Nato a Omaha, Nebraska, Smith si trasferì in Oregon durante l'adolescenza, dove iniziò a suonare la chitarra e comporre canzoni. Nel 1994 pubblicò il suo album di debutto "Roman Candle", seguito da altri successi come "Either/Or" (1997) e "XO" (2000). La sua musica, caratterizzata da melodie delicate, arrangiamenti minimalisti e testi introspettivi che esploravano temi di depressione, solitudine e perdita, ha conquistato un seguito di appassionati in tutto il mondo. Smith è stato anche noto per le sue collaborazioni con altri artisti, tra cui The Decemberists e Beck. La sua tragica morte nel 2003 a causa di un'overdose di farmaci ha lasciato un vuoto nel panorama musicale indie americano. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Between the Bars", "Needle in the Hay" e "Waltz #2".

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
