SOSP, UK Version of the album
He was a self made man
Made a killing on copper mines
He loved beautful girls
Got a taste for fancy wines
And the suits he wore were paper thin
He built a big white house
In the valley of the kings
Took a beautiful wife
Bought her every possible thing
And the silk she wore was paper thin
Well, they travelled in style
Paid cash for everything
Had a beautiful child
Had a champagne christening
But as they raised ther glasses in toast to him
He saw the crystal was paper thin
So the shadows came
Whispering words to him
He sold the company out
And cashed all those futures in
But it all still looked so paper thin
Well, it was late one night
And the rain was streaming down
He called his wife's name out
Said honey, it's over now
I'm gonna burn it all
I can't take this any more
But as he struck the match
She took a pistol from the drawer
She said I ain't going down with you
Pulled the trigger in
And the bullet it passed right through
Like he was paper thin
The lyrics PAPER THIN of DEL AMITRI is also present in the album Some other sucker's parade (1997)
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
