Solo per veri amanti del brit !!!
Ma nooo , non voglio mettere i "paletti" a questa recensione per chi ama altri generi musicali . Ma voglio avvertirvi che questo disco può far piacere , probabilmente , solo ai veri amanti del brit poi voi amanti di altri generi siete liberi di leggere, farvi folgorare dai Kooks e comprare (o scaricare) l'album e farlo girare nel vostro lettore per un pò di tempo . Eh sì ! Sembra proprio che la "Madre Patria" Gran Bretagna ci abbia lanciato un altro gruppo che ringraziando Dio non è esploso ( per adesso ) come Next big thing. . . o non è esploso come un fenomeno commerciale grazie a "papà internet" ( ogni riferimento ad Artic Monkeys è puramente casuale ). Insomma questo gruppo non è esploso proprio e mi aspetto quindi che in pochi lo conoscerete . Nulla di nuovo su fronte occidentale quindi. . . la madre patria ci dona un altro gruppo "altamente" BRIT che rimescola le lezioni impartite dagli anni '90 a questa parte da altri gruppi BRIT .
Il bello dei Kooks è però quello di sapere rimescolare talmente bene queste lezioni , saperle organizzare per bene , facendo venire fuori un album d'esordio totalmente colorato così vago e vario che non sarà un capolavoro ma saranno ( almeno ) quaranta minuti in quattrodici brani fatti di musica godibilissima . A questo però soddisfare le vostre curiosità , amanti dei brit e non , è diventato un obbligo per me . Non posso evitare di sottrarmi nella spiegazioni di alcune di queste 14 songs frizzantine . Parte come prima track "Seaside" e qui abbiamo i Coldplay acustici di Parachutes , una sola chitarra acustica ad accompagnare la voce . ( consiglio ai lettori di segnarsi i nomi dei gruppi che citerò , almeno così un'idea ve la fate ) L'esplosione rock è dietro l'angolo e i Kooks ci sanno regalare anche le fresche musichette degli "YOUNG" Supergrass , quelli di I Should Coco , con "See the world" e "Sofa Song" . Ma nelle canzoni dei Kooks non ci sono solo i gruppi datati , bensì anche i neonati : Coral( "If Only" ) e Kaiser Chiefs ( "Eddie's gun", "I want you back" ). Un revival , un bel revival. Ahhhhhhh ma non vorrei dimenticarmi dei Blur che . . . beh. . . sono un pò dapertutto in questo album . Ma attenzione !!!I Kooks sono anche andati un pò più indietro nel tempo rivedendo anche alcune canzoni dei Police e lasciandosi "lievemente" ispirare hanno scritto "Match Box" e "Time Awaits" riprendendo i temi reggae di Reggatta de blanc ( Album dei Police del 1979 , ndr ).
Bene , ed ora che farete ? Vi procurerete l'album voi che non conoscevate i Kooks o rimarrete annoiati da tutto questo copia e incolla di questi anni decretando che questo è solo un altro album copia di tanti ? Beh io tutto quello che avevo da dire l'ho detto , il mio voto l'ho messo in base alla sensazione che mi hanno dato , sarebbe a dire : un copia-copiarello vario e divertente . I Kooks non sono da buttare , magari nel prossimo album maturano ( ricordiamoci che i Radiohead non erano proprio il ritratto dell'originalità negli esordi ma poi. . . ) e ci riservano una bella sorpresa . Mhhh. . . Si , Teneteli d'occhio ma non troppo che , secondo me , ci sorprenderanno tra qualche anno .

Do you want to go to the seaside?

Never come away

But do you really want to see
Oh do you really want to see

Wrap your life around evil's trap

03 Sofa Song (02:13)
The city freeze for
I just realised I don't like you
Me and my girl
Are going out for some air
And I will do my best
Just to get under her dress
And catch you out if I can
On the other side of my sofa
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
The city heated up it
It got blurry cause I'd had enough
And he tried to take your soul
But didn't realise you keep it in a different hole
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
So here he comes, a man with
A loaded gun, I don't know if he
Wants my soul or my
Cash flow, I s'pose I don't know
So here he comes, a man with a
A loaded gun I don't know if he
Wants my girl's heart or her pearls
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
04 Eddie's Gun (02:13)
Did you see the way she looked at me?
Honey bee got two lies and she's got me
I tried to love her back
And then I shrunk back into my wrap
And in the barrel of my gun
I hope I'm not the only one
Yes I see the way she looked at me
Oh shes got an eye for an awkward guy like me
I tried to love her back (she's just a girl)
And then I shrunk back into my wrap (she's just a girl)
And in the barrel of my gun
I hope I'm not the only one
And in the barrel of my gun
I hope I'm not the only one
Yeah
Do do do do do do

05 Ooh La (03:28)
In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered
That you love it here, you've got to stay
On the bottom of the rock, an island
On which you find you love it when you twitch
You feel that itch in you petticoat
Your pretty pretty petticoat
Then you smiled, he got wild
You didn't understand that there's money to be made
Beauty is a card that must get played
By organisation
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
The world can be a very big place
So be yourself don't get out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to Hollywood and pay the price
Oh go to Hollywood
And don't be a star, it's such a drag
Take care of yourself, don't begin to lag
It's a hard life to live, so live it well
I'll be your friend and not in pretend
I know you girl
In all situations
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty petticoat
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty petticoat
In all situations
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
06 You Don't Love Me (02:35)
Oh you don't love me the way that I love you
Cause if you did girl you would not do those things you do
You kill my heart just to see if I will rise
Above your anger and above your lies
And all I see of you
Is when you're not so busy
Oh you're not so busy
And you don't love me the way that I love you
Cause if you did girl you would not do the things you do
You turned my life around and for that I am glad, oh
However much I love you, this love is getting bad
And oh my darling you could chose
The words that only you could use
But you know you'll always be my girl, oh girl
I'd take you out just for a bite
And show you all the city sights
But you know you'll always be my girl, girl
But you don't love me the way that I love you, oh
Cause if you did boy you would not do those things you do
You kill my heart just to see if I will rise, oh
Above your anger and above your lies
But all I see of you
Is when you're not so busy
Oh you're not so busy, yeah
Yeah yeah
Do do do
If you don't love me you don't care
You don't love me you don't care
Cause you don't love me you don't care
You don't love me you don't care
07 She Moves in Her Own Way (02:49)
So at my show on Monday
I was told that someday
You'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your make-up
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams honey
So now you pour your heart out
You're telling me you're far out
You're all about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings
Cause I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day
And at the show on Tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered firs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving
Making me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams honey, yeah
So won't you go far
Tell me you're a keeper
You're all about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings because
Cause I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day
Yes our wish's that we never made it
Through all the summers
We kept them up instead of
Kicking us back down to the suburbs
Yes our wish's that we never made it
Through all the summers
We kept them up instead of
Kicking us back down to the suburbs
But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day
But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day
08 Matchbox (03:09)
Viciously, she sleeps
Walks alone her lonely beat
She trips, falls into it all
And I wish I bite my lip and
Call her away from you my little one
Oh from you my little one
Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
Don't you think that you went too far
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
For you, you and him
Him and you, you know my heart bleeds
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna see your...
I'm sorry that I let you go
I let you down, I let you down my dear
I always seem to play these games with you my, dear
I always, I always...
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh were gonna steal your signs
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your cars
The Kooks are out in the streets
Oh we're gonna steal your signs
Oh my Juliet, I'll never betray you my love

09 Naïve (03:23)
I'm not saying it was your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
You're such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way
Something so beautiful
That everytime I look inside
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I may say it was your fault
Cause I know you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way something so beautiful
Everytime I look inside
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be
She's still out to get me
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
Oh you're so naive yet so
Such an ugly thing
Someone so beautiful
And everytime you're on his side
I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be she's still out to get me
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let me down
12 Jackie Big Tits (02:32)
I'd like to say, that I was on your mind
So I phone you at ten past three, in the afternoon
It's evening for you, and another bare hotel room
So hard to believe, that you're dreaming of me too
But it's true
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
And Amsterdam, I never knew you so well
The stadium rings with laughter, at every turn
At flying piano's of all things, to set your scene
I'm such a nice man to you, but so obscene
And it's true girl
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
Jackie big tits, is hiding in the corner
Respect is the word she shouts, as I implore her
Speaks her mind not me, cause I was only speaking freely
Interupt me once more, I'll take you to the cleaners
You can't push me around, round, round
You can't push me around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
You only go around, round, round
Jackie big tits
