The Zutons - Valerie
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a picture
'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie?
Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan, I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere, changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?
Yeah
'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie.Valerie,Valerie?
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a picture'
Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie.Valerie,Valerie?
Yeah valerie
乐评:
The second single from their second album Tired of Hanging Around, Valerie is another perfectly executed slice of guitar-based power pop from the long-haired Liverpool band. A bittersweet love song - "Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me" - with an infectious tune and singalong chorus, it will embed itself in your consciousness after just one three-and-a-half minute listen.
Stephen Street's bright, snappy production accentuates the positive so that David McCabe's lead vocals stand out clear and shining, with the band's backing vocals giving irresistible support and Abi Harding's sax adding texture. The Zutons sound more polished than on their debut records but have not slid into the saccharine blandness which affected their fellow Scousers The Lightning Seeds (led by The Zutons' original producer Ian Broudie).
Ever since their first album Who Killed The Zutons? received so much acclaim in 2004, the band has relished hitting the big time (unlike their erstwhile 'rivals', the limelight-shunning The Coral). And they want to take it further. While Valerie is a finely crafted single, which could well go all the way to the top, there's a danger of The Zutons losing their quirkiness by embracing the mainstream so wholeheartedly.
