Modern Girl
Once a beautiful Miss America,
married Mr. Right.
Had a little baby girl,
born on a stormy night.
But that was once upon a time,
now it's a brand new world.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
Somewhere just between the past
and somethin' dawnin' new.
There's a break in the chain,
a skip in the clock,
girl that's where I'm gonna find you.
Between the boy I was before
and what I'm gonna be.
There's a clash on the border,
a flame in the sky,
girl that's where you gonna find me.
Can't ya hear the planet groanin',
like a broken down machine.
Rusted with the guilty tears
of fallen kings and queens.
But you and I stand innocent,
baby it's a brand new world.
Gimme the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.)
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway,
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)
laughin' while the road maps blow away,
(gimmee the future with a modern girl)
we're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid,
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)
won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made.
(Gimmee the future with a modern girl)
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,)
Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl.
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,)
Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Questa canzone di Meatloaf, ha ben poco a che vedere col jazz, ma mi piace da matti ascoltarla, specie in serate come questa, dove l'unica cosa che vorrei fare è rilassarmi. Anche se ha un incedere incazzoso, mi piace molto, e mi sta donando un pò di relax. Spero a breve di trovare qualche disco di Meatloaf in giro. In verità, dischi di Meatloaf si trovano facilmente, ma la cosa bella è che, quando esco per acquistare cd, di Meatloaf mi scordo!!! :D Ma si può???
Ciao!!!!
PS: per riallacciarmi al discorso jazz, ringrazio chi mi ha fatto qualche nome interessante. :) Mi sto documentando e le cose che ho trovato e sto trovando mi stan piacendo. Può darsi che a breve acquisterò pure del buon jazz, poi vedrete e giudicherete. :)
