(Currie)
We could be away from here
by ten o'clock tonight
Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know
but a borrowed car just might
Look through my wallet
There's enough for a hotel room
But no, no, no, you say
"I wanna stay in and get wet with you."
Why do you take the opposite view?
We could be different people tonight
Who do you want to choose?
I'll book a table in a suit and tie
and you can wear your sister's shoes
Look through my wallet
Which cities shall we travel through?
But no, no, no you say "You just got paid,
Money's not for wasting it's for holding onto."
Why do you take the opposite view?
Is it something in your nature
that makes it hard to say, "Baby, I do."
You don't have to agree
when someone says they love you
But you don't have to take
the opposite view
We can walk on the roofs tonight
and watch the midnight traffic flow
Unscrew the lightbulbs babe,
and we'll throw them from the 14th floor
I say we're yellow
if we don't do something new
But you just laugh and start filling up my glass
as if it's not true.
Why do you take the opposite view?
Every precious second there's a chance to change
The present tense is perfect baby,
Let's rearrange it
The lyrics OPPOSITE VIEW of DEL AMITRI is also present in the album Waking hours (1989)
Del Amitri è una rock band scozzese formatasi a Glasgow nel 1980. Il gruppo nasce dall'idea di Justin Currie, che dopo aver suonato in una band scolastica, pubblica un annuncio in un negozio di musica per trovare musicisti con cui formare un nuovo progetto. La formazione iniziale vede la presenza di Currie (basso e voce), Iain Harvie (chitarra solista), Bryan Tolland (chitarra) e Paul Tyagi (batteria). Currie e Harvie sono gli unici membri rimasti ininterrottamente nel corso della storia del gruppo, nonché i principali autori dei brani. Del Amitri ha raggiunto il successo negli anni '90 con album come "Change the World" e "Twisted", caratterizzati da melodie pop-rock orecchiabili e testi introspettivi. Tra le canzoni più famose ci sono "Always the Last to Know", "The Rest of the Day" e "Someday Soon".

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
