Le mie avventure amorose tutte riassunte in una canzone

I viaggi in treno nell'ultimo periodo si sono ridotti notevolemente complice maltempo, scioperi e soprattutto scarsa voglia di andare a Bologna.
Nonostante ciò mi sembra carino parlare di due canzoni che la riproduzione casuale ha riportato all'attenzione nei giorni scorsi.
La prima è We Get On di Kate Nash.
Questa canzoncina credo che in breve riassuama buona parte delle mie infatuazioni. Come faccio a non immedesimarmi in frasi tipo "semplicemente sapere che tu esisti non è abbastanza per me, ma chiedere il tuo numero di telefono mi sembra altamente inappropriato visto che non riesco neanche a dire ciao quando passi" o "ho intrapreso un piano per scontrarmi con te accidentalmente, ma mentre stavo camminando mi scontrai con te molto più forte rispetto a quello che avevo originariamente previsto...", o con il finale della canzone che però non svelo.




Simply knowing you exist ain't good enough for me
But asking for your telephone number
Seems highly inappropriate
Seeing as, I can't
Even say hi
When you walk by

And that time you shook my hand, it felt so nice
I swear I never feel this way about any other guy
And I never usually notice people's eyes, but

I conducted a plan to bump in to you most accidentally
But I was walking along and I bumped into you
Much more heavily than I'd originally planned
It was, well, embarrassing
And I think you thought that I was a bit of a twat

I just think that we'd get on
I wish I could tell you face to face
Instead of singing this stupid song
But yeah, I just think that we might get on

So I went to that party and everyone
They were kind of art-y
And I was wearing this dress
Because I wanted to impress
But I wasn't sure if I looked my best
'Cause I was so nervous
But I carried on regardless
Strutting through each room trying to find you

And when I saw you kissing that girl
My heart, it shattered
And my eyes, they watered
And when I tried to speak, I stuttered
And my friends were like "Whatever!
You'll find someone better!
His eyes were way too close together!
And we never even liked him from the start!
And now he's with that tart
And I heard she's done some really nasty stuff
Down in the park with Michael
He said she's easy
And if your guy's with someone that's sleazy
Then he ain't worth your time
'Cause you deserve a real nice guy!"
So I proceeded to get drunk and to cry
And lock myself in the toilets for the entire night

Saturday night I watched channel five
I particularly liked CSI
I don't ever dream about you and me
I don't ever make up stuff about you and me
Because that is insanity
I don't ever drive by your house to see if you're in
I don't even have an opinion on that tramp that you're still seeing
I don't know your timetable
I don't know your face off by heart
But I must admit that there is still a part of me that still thinks
That we might get on

We might get on...
