The Lillingtons – «X-Ray Specs»
¿Quién no a soñado con tener superpoderes?
Ser invisible, superfuerte, veloz, o por qué no, rayos X.
Ahora puedo ver tu mierda, con mis rayos X.
En los 90´s, existió una banda bastante peculiar, cuya música estaba plagada de «power chords» y sus canciones eran estúpidamente pegadizas.
Cada canción era un tributo al mundo de la ciencia ficción, y cada melodía era repetitivamente aceptable.
The Lillingtons es una banda de pop-punk que después de once años sacará nuevo disco en Octubre. Yo prefiero categorizar su música en una suerte de punk revival de primera ola, debido a su parecido con bandas como The Ramones, o The Misfits. Hay muchísimas bandas de pop-punk hoy en día, pero me cuesta encontrar una sola que no se haya mezclado con el ska, hardcore, emo, rockabilly, o que mantengan un aura clásica. Es por eso que The Lillingtons merecen toda la atención que no tienen.
Letra
Today I’m dragging ass, because last night I stayed up late.
I was reading Superman, DC Comics fifty-eight
And when I saw his X-Ray vision, now I want some, too.
So I turned to page forty-three, and I found out what to do.
Now don’t you mess with me, cause I’m a superhero now. (well I’m a superhero now)
And I can see your underwear, so why see through solid lead?
Cause I can see through your bullshit with my X-Ray specs.
Well I can see through your bullshit with my X-Ray specs.
I can see through your bullshit with my X-Ray specs.
I can see through your bullshit with my X-Ray specs, my X-Ray specs, my X-Ray specs, yeah.
