Anmeldere er til at stole på

De sagde, at Sinead O'Connors nye plade, What About I Be Ne (And You Be You) var rigtig god og, som det hedder på engelsk, en tilbagevending til form, jeg valgte at stole på dem, og de har uden videre ret, hun er lige så inderligt hidsig og hidsigt inderlig som for 20 år siden, både når hun er decideret lykkelig på nummeret "The Wolf Is Getting Married" og vred som ind i helvede på nummeret med den alvorligt vrængende titel, viser det sig, "Queen of Denmark":


(anden halvdel af John Grants tekst til "Queen of Denmark")

Who's gonna be the one to save me from myself
You better bring your stun gun and perhaps a crowbar
You better pack a lunch and get up really early
And you should probably get down on your knees and pray
It's really fun to look embarrassed all the time
Like you could never cut the mustard with the big boys
I really don't know who the fuck you think you are
Could I please see your license and your registration
I don't know what to want from this world
I really don't know what to want from this world
Don't know what it is you want from me
You really have no right to want anything from me at all
Why don't you take it out on somebody else
Why don't you bore the shit out of somebody else
Why don't you tell somebody else that they're selfish
A weakling coward a pathetic little fraud
So Jesus hasn't come in here to pick you up
You'll still be sitting right there ten years from now
You're just a sucker but we'll see who gets the last laugh
Who knows, maybe you're the next queen of Denmark

  1. Det anonyme øre4. marts 2012 kl. 13.20

    Ikke en korrektion, men en konstatering: "Queen of Denmark" er et covernummer. Sangskriveren er John Grant. Her er et link:

    Men Sinead's version er faktisk bedre, synes dette anonyme øre

  2. Sinead o Connor er sej - ligesom MR.Bukdahl.
    han hører ordene på skrift.
    mvh en anony.

  3. Jo også en skøn, hård og underfundig queering af den mandlige synsvinkel, ikke kun i Dronningelinjen:

    When the shit got really really out of hand
    I had it all the way up to my hairline
    Which keeps receding like my self-confidence
