Canciones Losers

Esto surgio de una charla con una co-worker hablando de los Buzzcocks, saliendo el comentario de que "what do i get" es el tema más loser de la historia. Sin calcularlo claro, esas frases que salen nomás. Pero se me ocurrio hacer una lista de temas recontra losers, donde el narrador o protagonista esta en una posición que roza o alcanza lo patético. Empeze a pensar en temas pero la verdad que al final no se me ocurrieron muchos. Asi que por favor en los comments agreguen todos los que deseen... La idea es que no tiene que ser algo loser que el protagonista se lo banque con algo de entusiasmo (ejemplo obvio: (i can´t get no) satisfaction, que tiene toda la onda). Se permite que sea ligeramente irónico, como uno de los temas que presento.
El primero es, bueno, el que nombramos primeramente... (la letra esta resumida porque es bastante reiterativa, pero it does the trick)

Buzzcocks - what do i get

I just want a lover like any other
What do I get
I only want a friend who will stay to the end
What do I get

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

I’m in distress I need a caress
What do I get
I’m not on the make I just need a break
What do I get

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you things seem to turn out right
I wish they’d only happen to me instead

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

Well let me tell you now
I get no love
I get no sleep at nights
I get nothing that’s nice
I get nothing at all
At all,at all,at all
At all,at all,at all
Cos I don’t get you

Ahora vamos a uno que iba de lleno a esta lista, el Mozzer.. tuve unos cuantos para elegir pero termine eligiendo este, que gano en una encuesta en Inglaterra como el tema más depresivo de la historia, o por lo menos, el tema que los británicos les gusta escuchar cuando estan deprimidos. Como con muchísimos temas de los Smiths, me gusta más la letra que la canción.
La parte más jodida sin duda es: "I know it's over/ And it never really began / But in my heart it was so real":

The Smiths - I know it´s over

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

Ahora, finalmente, para ir a un tono un poco más pa´rriba, estan mis queridisimos Violent Femmes. Tema en plan pseudo reggae decadente cantado de forma completamente cansina y vaga, el clima que hace es decadente y genial. Tengo memorables recuerdos de estar cantando a coros este tema en mi viejo trabajo. Snif, que tiempos.

Violent Femmes - please do not go

Tell you man I’m stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me u’know she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead she never see the tears I cry
Please please please do not go
How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I wanna see him go bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Now I wonder what she would say
If I told her that I felt this way
Y’know it might make her turn either way
So all I can do is patiently pray
Pray pray pray pray
Tell yuo man I’m stuck on this lovely girl
And y’know I could travel all over the whole world
Please please please do not go
You hurt me so
I got something to show you

Bueno no los aburro más. Si tienen más temas para agregar agreguen. Tenia pensado tambien agregar temas "winners" o algo asi pero son muy, muy escasos. El único que se me ocurrio es 'Good Weekend' de Art Brut, tema que no puedo evitar que me parezca genial en concepto, aunque me suena a que ya se hizo mil veces antes. Salut.
