I Dead Weather hanno da qualche giorno rilasciato “Horehound“, primo album di questo supergruppo formato da Alison Mosshart, Dean Fertita, Jack Lawrence e Jack White, dopo aver anticipato l’album con “Hang You from the Heavens” arriva ora il primo singolo ufficiale tratto dall’album con tanto di video.
Si tratta di “Treat Me Like Your Mother“, canzone scritta a quattro mani da tutti i componenti del gruppo alternative rock, che viene accompagnata da un video, diretto da Jonathan Glazer e girato come se fosse un cortometraggio, in cui appaiono Jack White e Alison Mosshart in uno scontro di fuoco con mitra giocattolo. Un pezzo molto bello e carico con un simpatico video a supporto.
Questo il video di “Treat Me Like Your Mother”:
Questo il testo di “Treat Me Like Your Mother”:
Don’t act like you can’t act
I always think you do it
You better learn to shake hands
Treat me like your mother
Don’t act like you can’t act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
Treat me like your mother
You came up, too late
You came up, too late now
You came up, too late
To do a thing
Come on look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie
I’ll bet you can’t and you know why?
I’m just like your mother
Look me in the eye now
You wanna try to tell a lie
You can’t and you know why?
I’m just like your mother
You came up, too late
You came up, too late now
You came up, too late
Play dumb, play dead, play straight
Who’s got it figured out?
(play dumb, play dead, play straight)
Who’s got it figured out? Play straight
Time to manipulate
M-A-N-I-P-U-late
M-A-N-I-P-U-late
M-A-N-I-P-U-late
M-A-N-I-P-U-late
Am I too,
Am I late
Am I too
Am I late
Am I, am I, am I, am I,
Am I too
Late
Who’s got it figured out
Left right, left right got it figured out
Who’d got it figured out play straight
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
Look me in the eye now
Treat me like your mother
Come on, look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie?
You can’t and you know why?
I’m just like your mother
Play dumb, play dead
Tryin’ to manipulate
You blink when you breathe an d you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe an d you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe an d you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who’s got it figured out
Left right, left right got it figured out
Who’s got it figured out, play straight
Tryin to manipulate
Who’s got it figured out
(Left, left right) left right left right
Who’s got it figured out, play straight
Tryin to manipulate
You blink when you breathe an d you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who’s got it figured out, play straight
Questa la traduzione di “Treat Me Like Your Mother”:
Non comportarti come se non sapessi come ci si deve comportare
Ho sempre pensato che tu sapessi farlo
Meglio che impari a stringere le mani
Trattami come se fossi tua madre
Alzati come farebbe un uomo
Vieni a prendermi, troppo tardi
Ormai è troppo tardi
Per far qualcosa
Dai, guardami negli occhi
Vuoi provare a dire una bugia
Scometto che non ne sei capace e sai perchè?
Sono come tua madre
Fai finta di niente, fai finta di essere morto, fai l’indifferente
Chi ha capito tutto?
Tempo di manipolare
Cerchi di manipolare
Sbatti le ciglia quando respiri e respiri quando dici un bugia
Batti le ciglia quando menti
