Gabriella Cilmi – Sweet About Me

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
