『Nerdy』
Just because your nerdy
And your friends are flirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
She's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way
But anyway
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、『Nerdy』について。
Nerdy
Its always been up to your friends
They'll make your mind up for you
The popularitys gone to your head
But still I don't ignore you
You ran for school election
You even got my vote
But you know my favourite pastime's poetry
And yesterday I wrote
Just because I'm nerdy
And my friends are flirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way
You've got complications
And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way
Oh, anyway
This morning you walked past my door
Just like a daydream
But much more
I followed you round to the store
And I was shellshocked
When I saw
You and your friends were smoking
It always makes me choke
And did you know
I'd do anything to have you
But I wouldn't take a toke
Hey
Just because I'm nerdy
And my friends are flirty
It doesn't mean that I swing that way
You've got complications
And a reputation
Wouldn't wanna get in your way
Oh, anyway
Anyway
Oh, anyway
You said my words were beautiful
They almost made you cry
The markings on the wall were jaded
I wonder why
Just because your nerdy
And your friends are flirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
She's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way
Just because your nerdy
And your friends are flirty
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
She's got complications
And a reputation
Go ahead and stand in her way
But anyway
『Nerdy』はアルバム『A Present for Everyone』の13曲目。
アルバム最後を締めくくるバラード曲となっています。
曲の雰囲気が好きなお気に入りの曲で、3人のハーモニーが非常に素敵な曲となっています。
歌詞については今回初めてちゃんと読みましたが、ユーモアがありながらもなかなかに素敵なものでした。
改めて好きになりましたね。
まとめ
こんな感じで、短いですがBustedの『Nerdy』の紹介でした。
Bustedは僕が中学生の頃にハマった音楽ということもあり、歌詞が分からないまま曲の雰囲気で好きになったものばかりです。
1部の曲だけは歌詞カードに付属されていた翻訳に目を通していましたが、それでも何となくしか記憶に残っていません。
歌の内容は大人になって改めて知る場合が多いため、ある意味では1曲で2度おいしい思いができていますね。
それでは、また。
