He spends his time
or maybe half of his time
or part of the time wandering
'round the creeks and cobble stones of hackney lanes
with a tear in his eye
as the children walk by, he's thinking of a song
then stops to paint a picture of a frown
walking around
Dan Treacy's smile
leaves you trying to decide who's the victim, what's the crime?
no rest for the mind
that's seen it all before
and I don't know where he lives
but he's a myth of a man
and Texas Bob the cameraman
is off to fix his sit before the show
yeah, but where did he go?
to know when your time's up
you flip the glass and watch the hours quickening
in the back of the station
fluorescent lights about to quit their flickering
well he speaks his mind
he says "what is crime?"
Dan Treacy's eyes
In the middle of the park
when the underground is dark,
he's a poet he's a lark
he starts thinking about a place that no one knows
and when the creeks run dry
he stays frozen in time
strange lights in the sky
start blinking
I can see the car outside but he's listening
he's listening
and he's making up his mind
he made his mind up
to get things done and overcome
he made his mind up
yeah he's gonna let it go
he made his mind up
in the park and at the station
he made his mind up
yeah, he's gonna get it done
he made his mind up
ooh yeah he's gonna get it done
he made his mind up
yeah, he's gonna let it go, uh oh
no matter the time
oh oh
when the creeps run by
oh no
he's making his mind up
oh oh oh oh
yeah he's gonna get it done whoa oh
oh yeah, when the creeks run dry whoa oh
yeah, he's gonna listen to his soul,
yeah, when the creeps walk by and say
"come here boy, look me in the eye"
bow to the heart, back to the beat of
Dan Treacy
The lyrics SONG FOR DAN TREACY of MGMT is also present in the album Congratulations (2010)
MGMT (pronunciato ufficialmente em-gee-em-tee ma spesso erroneamente come 'Management') è un duo musicale americano formato da Ben Goldwasser e Andrew VanWyngarden, originario di Brooklyn, New York. Il gruppo si è formato all'università Wesleyan e dopo essere stati inizialmente con Cantora Records, nel 2006 hanno firmato con Columbia Records e Red Ink. MGMT è noto per il suo sound psichedelico pop che fonde elementi indie rock, synth-pop e musica elettronica. Il loro album di debutto, *Oracular Spectacular*, del 2007, ha riscosso un enorme successo internazionale grazie a brani come «Kids» e «Time to Pretend», diventando un classico dell'epoca. Il secondo album, *Congratulations* (2010), ha esplorato sonorità più sperimentali e mature, mentre il terzo, *MGMT* (2013), ha segnato una svolta verso un sound più elettronico. Il loro ultimo lavoro in studio, *Little Dark Age*, è uscito nel 2018. Oltre ai brani citati, tra le canzoni più rappresentative di MGMT figurano «Electric Feel» e «When You Die».

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
