Hay canciones que te entran en el alma como una lanza empuñada por Ivanhoe. De lleno. De esta, aparte de los arreglos y el tempo cambiante, la sencillez con que transmite profundas inquietudes cotidianas, detalles vitales que nos son tan conocidos pero difíciles de reconocer en determinadas circunstancias, la elevan al Olimpo de las canciones. No quiero subrayar mis frases favoritas. Quien quiera encontrarlas, lo hará.
La letra original:
I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults
Can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts
But I can't hide them
I still keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me,
My jewelry, and my baby teeth
I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck
I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
Civilian

You still sleep in the bed with me,
My jewelry, and my baby teeth
I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck
I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did

Lo bueno de una canción es cuando la coges pelada, desnuda (acústica) y te sigue pareciendo genial, quiere decir que es buena. En este video hay que comerse un anuncio previo, lo siento. Pero pienso que vale la pena...
Si alguien se ha comido los dos vídeos y piensa que ha perdido el tiempo, lo siento de veras.... Yo creo que valía la pena...
I´m perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but i still can´t kiss my oen neck....
(Puedo, perfectamente, apretarme la mano
pero todavía no soy capaz de besarme el cuello...)
I´m perfectly able to hold my own hand,
