Lied van de week : week 17 - 2012

I'm a bird - Marco Z

De dochter en een stiefdochter zijn er weg van, en ik denk dat het slechts enkele weken duurt vooraleer allebei mijn kinderen hun favoriete nummer voor dit jaar ontdekt hebben (zoals Somebody that I used to know van Gotye vorig jaar en Fireflies van Owl City het jaar ervoor...). En ik moet zeggen, het is inderdaad een erg aanstekelijk nummer, met een goed gemaakte en erg toegankelijke, toch wel originele clip. En dus mag de Vlaming Marco Z deze week met de eer gaan lopen...

Je kan de gelijknamige EP hier kopen.

Lyrics :

I’ve been living by the corner of the street for years

Where the younger boys and girls meet up

After school trying to act so cool

As their mopeds and their heartbeats speed up

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Spending countless days and eves on top

Of the boot and shoe repair shop

Making plans for conquering the world

With my latest brand of indie-rock

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

But my country drowns in wealth

And I’ve got excellent health

So I’m a feeling like a bird

I’m a bird, I’m a bird

I’ve been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

Till someone’s gonna shoot me down

I’m a bird, I’m a bird, I’m a bird

I’ve been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

Ain’t my mind gonna shoot me down

For a life time been thinkin’ about life and fate

Been avoiding all the big decisions

Sitting by my computer screen

If I’m tired of it there’s television

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Sitting by the step for someone to stop

When it looks like I’m waiting for the sky to drop

With everyday that’s slippin’ away

I’m stuck with just a lil’ less time to say

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

But my country drowns in wealth

And I’ve got excellent health

So I’m a feeling like a bird

I’m a bird, I’m a bird

I’ve been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

Till someone’s gonna shoot me down

I’m a bird, I’m a bird, I’m a bird

I’ve been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

Ain’t my mind gonna shoot me down

I’m a bird, I’m a bird, I’m a bird

I’ve been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

Till someone’s gonna shoot me down

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Oh, the times I’ve wasted

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

I’m a bird, I’m a bird, I’m a bird

I’ve been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

Till someone’s gonna shoot me down

I’m a bird, I’m a bird, I’m a bird

I’ve been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

Ain’t my mind gonna shoot me down
