Dalam karya musik ikonik "Girls And Boys," Blur menangkap kecemasan dan kekecewaan tahun 1990-an dengan lirik yang provokatif dan melodi yang menawan. Lagu ini mengeksplorasi konsep gender yang cair dan kesepian yang merajalela di tengah perubahan sosial dan teknologi yang cepat. Dengan paduan padanan yang tajam dan penggunaan bahasa yang tidak biasa, "Girls And Boys" menjadi sebuah komentar yang menohok atas perjuangan dan keraguan masyarakat yang sedang mengalami perubahan.
Girls And Boys Lyrics
Blur
Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances looking for
[Chorus]
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE
Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced
[Chorus]
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances looking for
[Chorus]
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE
Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced
[Chorus]
