Aimee Mann – You Could Make a Killing

Lunes. Viento sur azotando nuestras cabezas (hace unos años se podía considerar como atenuante en caso de cometer un crimen). Así que no es de sorprender que el silencio seleccionado para hoy sea este You could make a killing de Aimee Mann, una gran cantautora norteamericana que ya se ha pasado con anterioridad por aquí. Al igual que con Wise Up, que formaba parte de la banda sonora de Magnolia, ésta melodía aparece en la película Crueles Intenciones, además de en su segundo álbum I’m with Stupid (1995).

Que conste que no es una declaración de intenciones 😉

Letra:

There is nothing that competes with habit
And I know it’s neither deep nor tragic
It’s simply that you have to have it

[estribillo]
So you can make a killing
Oh you can make a killing
so you can make a killing

I wish I was both young and stupid
Then I too could have the fun that you did
Till it was time to pony up what you bid

[estribillo]

I could follow you and search the rubble
Or stay right here and save myself some trouble

Or try to keep myself from seeing double
Or I could make a killing
Or I could make a killing
Oh I could make a killing
Yeah I could make a killing
I could make a killing
