(carly simon/mike mainieri)
What shall we do about them
When they move into your neighbourhood
They take over but good
They want you all body and soul
Then its just your body
Then they go
What shall we do about them
(chorus)
What do they want
What shall we do about them
What do they want
What shall we do about them
What do they want
One of them asked me to dine
Then he ate me all up
Got full then he blew me up
I got big and round and lovable
He saw I was immovable
He got bored, went to war
I got one baby, hes giving me more
Once I swore Id never give myself up
Chorus:
I know that them we are not
I have loved them alot
And I have loved alot of them
You could say that I am experienced
Enough to know that they are aliens
Do you keep them away, beg them to stay
Say its o.k., do it their way
I used to say Id never give myself up
Chorus

Carly Elisabeth Simon (1945) è una cantautrice americana di grande successo, nota per la sua voce calda e melodie evocative. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '60, collaborando con artisti come James Taylor, suo marito all'epoca. Il suo album di debutto del 1971, "Carly Simon", conteneva il singolo "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be", che le valse un successo immediato. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "You're So Vain" (1972), una canzone enigmatica che ha generato numerose speculazioni sul suo soggetto, e "Anticipation" (1971). Simon è stata premiata con numerosi Grammy Award e ha venduto milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo. Oltre alla musica, si è dedicata anche alla scrittura di libri per bambini e romanzi.
