Buzzcocks - You Say You Don't Loooooove Me

Por volta de 1974 o Buzzcocks surgia. Banda dos amigos Shelley, Devoto e Diggle, nomes que perduram até os dias de hoje na história da mesma. Este grupo fazia frente na música inglesa na ala paralela a cidade de Londres, a adorável Manchester. Após alguns problemas com a adaptação de sua pequena gravadora aos conglomerados da EMI, a banda passou por severas rupturas e dissidências. Sua temática aborda o amor jovem, a loucura, a tensão, as emoções dessa fase da vida humana. Nada de problemas políticos, isso era coisa de adulto! O Buzzcocks tem este diferencial.

Isto deu pano pra tanta manga, essa exaltação das afetividades juvenis, que o próprio Morrisey, aquele ícone do pop gótico inglês, sentiu-se encantado pela banda e fez uma versão requintada deste som que apresentamos para vocês agora. O envolvimento dessas duas bandas não pára por aí, tanto que Mike Joyce, outro musicista do Smiths, assume a bateria do Buzzcocks quando da saída de Maher.

Fiquem agora com a letra desta doce e singela, porém; sincera, música de amor juvenístico.

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cos I'm in love with you
And I wouldn't want you doing
things you don't want to do
Oh you know I've always wanted
you to be in love with me
And it took so long to realize
the way things have to be
I wanted to live in a dream that couldn't be real
And I'm starting to understand
now the way that you feel
You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cos I have got the time
To wait in case someday you maybe change your mind
I've decided not to make the same
mistakes this time around
As I'm tired of having heartaches I've
been thinking and I've found
I don't want to live in a dream I want something real
And I think I understand now the way that you feel
You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't

[Solo]

You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me I'm not in love with you
I just want us to do the things we both want to do
Though I've got this special feelin'
I'd be wrong to call it love
For the word entails a few things
that I would be well rid of
I've no need to live in a dream it's finally real
And I hope you now understand this feeling I feel
You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me
Mmm
