here we stand, like an Adam and an Eve,
waterfalls, the Garden of Eden.
two fools in love, so beautiful and strong,
the birds in the trees are smiling upon them.
from the age of the dinosaurs,
cars have run on gasoline
where, where have they gone?
now it's nothing, but flowers.
there was a factory,
now there are mountains and rivers.
you got it, you got it...
we caught a rattlesnake,
now we got something for dinner.
we got it, we got it...
there was a shopping mall,
now it's all covered with flowers.
you've got it, you've got it...
if this is paradise,
I wish I had a lawnmower.
you've got it, you've got it...
years ago, I was an angry young man,
I'd pretend that I was a billboard.
standing tall by the side of the road,
I fell in love with a beautiful highway.
this used to be real estate,
now it's only fields and trees.
where, where is the town?
now it's nothing, but flowers.
the highways and cars
were sacrificed for agriculture.
I thought that we'd start over,
but I guess I was wrong.
once there were parking lots,
now it's a peaceful oasis.
you got it, you got it...
this was a Pizza Hut,
now it's all covered with daisies.
you got it, you got it...
I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it...
and as things fell apart,
pobody paid much attention.
you got it, you got it...
I dream of cherry pies,
candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies.
you got it, you got it...
we used to microwave,
now we just eat nuts and berries.
you got it, you got it...
don't leave me stranded here,
I can't get used to this lifestyle.
The lyrics (NOTHING BUT) FLOWERS of CAETANO VELOSO is also present in the album A foreign sound (2004)
Caetano Veloso (Salvador, 7 aprile 1942) è uno dei cantautori più influenti del Brasile. Figlio di una famiglia borghese, si avvicina alla musica fin da giovane, appassionandosi al bossa nova e al rock. Negli anni '60, a Rio de Janeiro, diventa parte del movimento Tropicália, un'esplosione culturale che mescolava elementi tradizionali brasiliani con influenze internazionali come il pop, il psichedelico e il jazz. Caetano Veloso è noto per le sue melodie innovative, i testi poetici e la sua voce distintiva. Œuvre fondamentale del movimento Tropicália, Caetano ha collaborato con artisti come Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé e Gal Costa. Nel 1968, a seguito della censura militare in Brasile, viene esiliato in Londra. Dopo il ritorno in patria, continua a produrre musica di grande successo, esplorando nuovi generi musicali come la world music e l'elettronica. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Alegria, Alegria", "Sozinho", "Sampa" e "O Leãozinho". Caetano Veloso è considerato un'icona culturale brasiliana, il cui impatto sulla musica e la società del suo paese rimane profondo.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
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
