Grace Kelly - Mika

Ok. Ignorando completamente a idéia do Mika no sentido de essa música ser na realidade uma sátira ao desespero dos músicos de se re-inventarem para serem populares, e se adequarem ao gosto dos produtores e do público...
Penso nela, neste momento, na forma mais simples, mais romântica da coisa. Mesmo. Quantas vezes a gente também não se re-inventa, se transforma, se metamorfoseia para agradar alguém? Para ser aquilo tudo que o outro quer, e mais um pouco?
Por já ter sido idiota a esse ponto, e por Mika me lembrar diversas coisas, a música do dia é essa...


I wanna talk to you.

The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears.
I promise you that wont happen again!

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Getting angry doesn't solve anything.

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want, you want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Walk out the door!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Walk out the door!
