Well I woke up in mid afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame
And though I'll never forget your face,
sometimes I can't remember my name
Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
And the ghosts of the tilt a whirl will linger inside of your head
And the ferris wheel junkies will spin them forever instead
When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in bed
Hey Mrs. Potter don't go
Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep
So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
But I'd sure like to find out
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen
Hey Mrs. Potter don't turn
Hey Mrs. Potter I burn for you
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
and orders another
Well, I wonder what he did that for
That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door
We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
We stand up at the Palace like it's the last of the great Pioneertown bars
We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
You can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Hey Mrs. Potter I won't touch and
Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
The lyrics MRS. POTTER'S LULLABY of COUNTING CROWS is also present in the album Films about ghosts (2003)
Counting Crows è un gruppo rock statunitense formatosi a Berkeley, California, nel 1989. Il loro sound si caratterizza per melodie orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e una forte componente folk-rock. Dopo anni di concerti in locali, il gruppo ha firmato con la Geffen Records nel 1993. Il loro album di debutto, *August and Everything After*, è diventato un successo internazionale grazie al singolo «Mr. Jones», raggiungendo il disco di platino multiplo. Il successo ha portato ad una intensa pressione sul frontman Adam Duritz, che ha subito un esaurimento nervoso. Questo periodo difficile si riflette nell'album successivo, *Recovering the Satellites* (1996). Nel corso degli anni, i Counting Crows hanno continuato a pubblicare album di successo come *This Desert Life* (2002) e *Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings* (2008), mantenendo un seguito fedele grazie alla loro musica autentica e al carisma di Duritz. Tra le canzoni più rappresentative del gruppo ricordiamo «Round Here», «A Long December» e «Anna Begins».

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
