HELICOPTER

Cuando escucho esta canción, inevitablemente recuerdo aquellas tardes -y noches- de Burnout Revenge frente al PS2, y es que esta canción es parte del soundtrack del videojuego. 'Helicopter' fue quizá el primer éxito de Bloc Party en 2005, cuando el grupo inició -bajo ese nombre- en 2003.

Según Wikipedia la banda se formó en 1998 y antes del nombre actual tuvo nombres como Angel Range, Union y Superheroes of BMX; Hasta ahora, cuentan con 3 albumes de estudio y del primero de ellos, titulado 'Silent Alarm' es de donde se desprende -como dicen los locutores de radio- esta canción.

BLOC PARTY - HELICOPTER

North to south, Empty // Running on, Bravado // As if to say, as if to say // As if to say, he doesn't like chocolate // He's born a liar, he'll die a liar // Some things will never be different

Stop being so American // There's a time and there's a place // So James Dean // So blue jeans // Gonna save the world // He's gonna

Are you hoping for a miracle? // Are you hoping for a miracle? // Are you hoping for a miracle? // Are you hoping for a miracle?

Three out of five, three out of five (it's not enough) // Six out of ten // Better luck next time // Just like his Dad, just like his Dad (the same mistakes) // Some things will never be different // Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb (so wait in line) // Queuing up for some more junk food // It's not my fault, it's not my fault (just this once) // They're getting so much younger

Why can't you be more European // Bastard child of guilt and shame // Bury your head in the sand // I'm thinking six, six, six // I'm thinking six

Are you hoping for a miracle? // Are you hoping for a miracle? // Are you hoping for a miracle? // Are you hoping for a miracle?

It's not enough.
