#74 Franz Ferdinand – Eleanor Put Your Boots On


En la lista del año pasado, Franz Ferdinand hizo su aparición dos veces. Este año tenían 3 contendientes pero solo esta logra entrar en la lista. Una gran canción en el disco y mucho mejor la versión regrabada (que es la que esta disponible aquí para bajar). Y siempre lo dije, This Boy hubiera sido mejor sencillo que The Fallen. Por cierto, Eleanor (la de la canción) es Eleanor Friedberger, cantante de los Fiery Furnaces y novia de Alex Kapranos cuando escribió la canción.

Franz Ferdinand – Eleanor Put Your Boots On

leanor put those boots back on
Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt
I know it isn’t dignified to run
But if you run You can run to the Coney Island rollercoaster
Ride to the highest point and leap across the filthy water
Leap until the Gulf Stream’s brought you down

I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land

So Eleanor take a Greenpoint three-point turn
Towards the hidden sun
You know you are so elegant when you run
Oh if you run
You can run to that statue with the dictionary
Climb to her fingernail and
Leap, yeah take an atmospheric leap and
Let the jet stream set you down

I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land

So Eleanor put those boots back on
Put the boots back on and run
Come, come on over here

#75 Milburn – What You Could Have Won

Tomado de su disco debut Well Well Well, What You Could’ve Won es una gran canción de este grupo de Sheffield, pero que en lo personal creo que no es la mejor opción para single, en el sentido de que al público en general no le llama tanto la atención puesto que es una canción que toma un poquito mas de tiempo para agarrarle el gusto. Pero de que es una gran canción, eso no hay duda y por eso logra entrar en esta lista en el número 75.

It’s closing time and it’s getting late
Can you fetch my coat cos I don’t feel too great, anymore
But I want to stay, don’t you want to stay aswell
I don’t think that you do
I’ve got this funny feeling that you don’t feel like I do
This conversations just passing you by
I know it I can see it in your eyes

You’ve had one too many, low and behold
You’re telling me the secrets that can’t be told
It feels so special, it feels so bold
But then you knock me back and I fall
I fall to the floor
And all I wanted was a kiss
And all I wanted was a chance tonight

I’m walking home
Half pissed and half frozen
My minds made warmer by the little token of you, and your little ways
Still they’re sleeping in your bed today
And now beeps the phone
I fumble round to answer but I end up putting it on hold
Late night taxis keep passing me by
I fell sick and look to the sky

I’ve had one too many, low and behold
The late night lovers stay out in the cold
I ring your number I feel so bold
You kick me into touch and I fall
I fall to the floor

And all I wanted was a kiss
And all I wanted was a chance tonight
But yeah your ignorance was bliss
Yeah your ignorance was paradise
Just give me a chance
Just give me a sign or something to tell me what you want
Cos before too long they’ll be somebody else
It’s then that you’ll know that your wanted more
You call out my name but I fail to respond
Oh it knocks you back and you fall
You fall to the floor

You’re not just a number upon a computer or a waiting list
You’re not just a number upon a computer or a shopping list

Y empieza la lista
