We waren het al weer een beetje vergeten, maar de beelden van deze clip laten een onuitwisbare indruk achter. Geen glimmend latex in zoetsappige kleurtjes, maar rauwe bondages begeleid met de tekst “there’s nothing sweet about me…” . Terwijl de band volhardend hun muziekinstrumenten bespelen, zie je gedurende de song steeds meer leden in de meest onmogelijke posities vastgeplakt of opgehangen worden. Takels , tralies, ducttape, touw en netten: het is er allemaal!
De song “Sweet about me” staat op haar debuutalbum “Lessons to be learned”. Maar Gabriella Cilmi maak je niets meer wijs, dat is inmiddels wel duidelijk!
Songtekst Sweet about me
Ooh, watching me, hanging by a string this time
Don't, easily climax of the perfect life
Ooh, watching me, go hanging by a string this time
Don't, easily a smile worth a hundred lies
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
Tell you something that I've found
That the world's a better place when it's upside down, boy
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
When your playing with desire
Don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Blue, blue, blue waves, they crash
As time goes by, so hard to catch
Too, too smooth, ain't all that
Why don't you ride my side of the track
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first
So, tell you something that I've found
That the world's a better place when it's upside down, boy
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first
So, when your playing with desire
Don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
