『Fake』
What am I gonna do now the game's up?
Can't get her off, that's kind of rough
She better not tell my mates today
So baby tell me now
Do I need to measure?
Cause I'm feeling under pressure
I'm just hoping that the fear will go away
Don't wanna be a fake
こんにちは。
どうも、けこぜろです。
今回は2003年に発売された、Bustedの2枚目のアルバム『A Present for Everyone』より、『Fake』について。
Fake
I can't believe
What my girlfriend did today
She screamed so loudly
And then she turned away
Why did she cut me down to size?
She left me wondering
Can I do it right?
What am I gonna do now the game's up?
Can't get her off, that's kind of rough
She better not tell my mates today
So baby tell me now
Do I need to measure?
Cause I'm feeling under pressure
I'm just hoping that the fear will go away
Don't wanna be a fake
I woke up in a sweat
Felt a disgrace
As she looked so beautiful
Upon her face
Feeling stupid all on my own
I put it down to experience
Cause now I've grown
What am I gonna do now the game's up?
Can't get her off, that's kind of rough
She better not tell my mates today
So baby tell me now
Do I need to measure?
Cause I'm feeling under pressure
I'm just hoping that the fear will go away
Don't wanna be a fake
Don't wanna be a fake
It's quite uncanny
Cause my favourite film is When Harry Met Sally
Now I'm finished
There's no way
We're ever gonna be okay
Don't wanna be a fake
How low can I go?
You might find me reading Cosmo
But when I'm finished
You know that you're gonna wanna be with me
Gonna wanna be with me
Gonna wanna be with me
Got a girl on my sofa, yeah
Getting undressed
I gotta know can I deliver?
Cos I'm feeling stressed
What am I gonna do?
Is my game up?
I've got the goods is that enough?
There's almost nothing left to say
So wish me luck, not gonna run
The final countdown has begun
Not gonna see or hear them laughing in my face
What am I gonna do now the game's up?
Can't get her off, that's kind of rough
She better not tell my mates today
So baby tell me now
Do I need to measure?
Cause I'm feeling under pressure
I'm just hoping that the fear will go away
Don't wanna be a fake
『Fake』はアルバム『A Present for Everyone』の8曲目。
落ち着いた出だしから始まるものの、サビで勢いを増すBustedらしい楽曲です。
名曲揃いのセカンドアルバムの中でも印象の薄い曲ではありますが、個人的には割と好みな楽曲だったりします。
こういった勢いのある曲は好きですし、何よりこのアルバムを聴きまくっていた中高生の頃を思い出します。
まとめ
こんな感じで、短いですがBustedの『Fake』の紹介でした。
勢いのあるサビがBustedらしくていい雰囲気ですし、余韻の残らないアウトロも割と好みな楽曲です。
やっぱりサビでギターの音が映える曲が好きですね。
それでは、また。
