@#%&! Smilers

@#%&! Smilers es agua de mayo; el nuevo disco de Aimee Mann ha venido a salir el mismo año que Amaral saca su Gato negro, dragón rojo... El artista del alambre tiene una dura competencia con Freeway por ver qué canción me obsesiona más y mejor durante más tiempo.

Tras su disco conceptual The forgotten arm, que contaba la historia de una pareja, y su disco de Navidad, Aimee se ha vuelto a poner manos a la obra con la guitarra y ha vuelto a los sonidos que recuerdan su Lost in Space, uno de los mejores discos de la década.
Y como no me gusta hablar y enrollarme, que para eso ya están los gafapastas os dejo la letra y el video del su primer single, Freeway.

FREEWAY

You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
The road to Orange County leaves an awful lot of leeway
Where everyone's a doctor or a specialist in retail
They'll sell you all the speed you want if you can take the blackmail

You know it
I know it
Why don't you
Just show it?
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway

You got a lot of money, but you cannot keep your bills paid
The sacrifice is worth it just to hang around the arcade
You found yourself a prophet, but you left him on the boardwalk
Another chocolate Easter bunny, hollowed out by your talk

You know it
I know it
Why don't you
Just show it?
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway

And everything I do is wrong
But at least I'm hanging on

You got a lot of money, but you can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you
Can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you
Can't afford
