Point your suit at me and take my breath away
Better in black and white and chrome I have to say Now the big sleep
You play the hero and the villain every day
Equally charming in an unassuming way
See the girls weep
And now you've said goodbye a million hearts are sad
We were there with you Bob so were my mum and dad
Now the big sleep
Suits and swimming trunks and clergy you don't care
Every one of them is scary we beware
I like Cape Fear
You're out of place in some but you lift them from the mire
Better in the heat to watch your pecs perspire
Then there was Angel Face
And when you leave a scene a thousand footsteps fall
Can't wait to see you back and walking very tall
Before the big sleep
Now sleep ...
No-one around like you and Jimmy stuart anymore
I'd like to don my suit and even up the score
And try to take over
Painted ladies ain't so glamorous today
Please take me back to 1941 today
Before Pearl Harbour
You've had some trials and tribulations just the same
You have to laugh a lot to stay ahead of the game
Before the big sleep
Now sleep ...
Hugh Alan Cornwell (nato il 28 aprile 1949) è un cantautore e chitarrista britannico, noto soprattutto per essere stato il frontman e chitarrista principale dei The Stranglers dal 1974 al 1990. Cornwell ha contribuito a definire l'immagine musicale del gruppo con la sua voce roca e le sue melodie dark, influenzate da punk rock, new wave e musica classica. Durante la sua permanenza negli Stranglers, ha scritto alcuni dei loro brani più iconici come "Always the Sun", "Golden Brown" e "No More Heroes". Dopo aver lasciato il gruppo nel 1990, Cornwell si è dedicato alla carriera solista, pubblicando oltre dieci album in studio. La sua musica da solista mantiene le caratteristiche distintive del suo stile: melodie accattivanti, testi introspettivi e un'atmosfera dark che lo hanno reso uno dei cantautori più apprezzati della scena britannica. Tra i suoi album solista più noti figurano "Hooverville" (1990) e "The Ballad of the Great Divide" (2006).

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
