Oh! I meant - Ah!
No, I didn't mean that at all
Here in the streets of American nights
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules, and I want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fuckin' strange
Nina's in the bedroom
She says, "Time to go now"
But leavin' it ain't easy
I've got to let go
Oh, I've got to let go
And the hours they went to slow
I said every night
She just can't stop sayin':
"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart"
Just kill me now 'cause I'll let you down
I swear one day we're gonna leave this town
"Stop"
Yes, I'm leaving 'cause this just won't work
They act like Romans, but they dress like Turks
Soft time in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
But...hey
Nina's in the bedroom
She says, "Time to go now"
But leaving it ain't easy
Oh, I've got to let go
I've got to let go
Oh, trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter,:
"I've got to come clean
The authorities, they've seen
Darling, I'm somewhere in between"
I said every night
She just can't stop sayin':
"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart"

The Strokes sono un gruppo musicale statunitense di rock alternativo e indie rock, formatosi a New York nel 1998. Composto da Julian Casablancas (voce), Nick Valensi (chitarra), Albert Hammond Jr. (chitarra), Nikolai Fraiture (basso) e Fabrizio Moretti (batteria), il gruppo ha raggiunto la fama internazionale con l'album di debutto *Is This It* (2001). L'album, caratterizzato da riff chitarristici accattivanti, testi ironici e un sound che rievoca gli anni '70, è stato accolto con grande entusiasmo dalla critica e dal pubblico. The Strokes hanno continuato a pubblicare album di successo come *Room on Fire* (2003) e *First Impressions of Earth* (2005), consolidando la loro posizione tra le band più influenti del rock contemporaneo. Il gruppo ha collaborato con artisti come David Byrne e Lou Reed, e i loro brani "Last Nite", "Someday", "Reptilia" e "You Only Live Once" sono diventati veri e propri inni della generazione indie.

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
