Billie Jean

No conocía al dúo que hoy os presento, The Civil Wars. Fué gracias a una pieza de la banda sonora de la película "Los juegos del hambre", donde los descubrí. Concretamente, con el  titulado "Kingdom Come" que un día traeré al blog. Pero hoy prefiero mostrar otro tema, titulado Billie Jean.

The Civil Wars es un grupo compuesto por los canta-autores Joy Williams y John Paul White. Los dos se conocieron en Nashville, Tennessee en el 2008. Después de grabar un EP de cuatro canciones, su album completo «Barton Hollow» fue lanzado en el 2011. La banda fue ganadora de dos Grammys: Best Country Duo/Group Performance y Best Folk Album en la ceremonia realizada en el 2012.

 

she was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

i said don't mind, but what do you mean i am the one

who will dance on the floor in the round

she said i am the one who will dance on the floor in

the round

she told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a

scene

then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being

the one

who will dance on the floor in the round

people always told me be careful of what you do

and don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

and mother always told me be careful of who you love

and be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes

the truth

billie jean is not my lover

she's just a girl who claims that i am the one

but the kid is not my son

she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son

for forty days and forty nights

the law was on her side

but who can stand when she's in demand

her schemes and plans

'cause we danced on the floor in the round

so take my strong advice, just remember to always think

twice

(do think twice)

she told my baby that¡-s a threat

as she looked at me

then showed a photo of a baby cries

eyes would like mine

go on dance on the floor in the round, baby

people always told me be careful of what you do

and don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

she came and stood right by me

then the smell of sweet perfume

this happened much too soon

she called me to her room

billie jean is not my lover

she's just a girl who claims that i am the one

but the kid is not my son

billie jean is not my lover

she's just a girl who claims that i am the one

but the kid is not my son

she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son

she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son

billie jean is not my lover

she's just a girl who claims that i am the one

but the kid is not my son

she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son

she says i am the one, she says he is my son

she says i am the one

billie jean is not my lover

billie jean is not my lover

billie jean is not my lover

billie jean is not my lover

billie jean is not my lover

billie jean is not my lover
