Lirik : "Us" - Regina Spector

Ini dia, lagu pop minimalis ala Regina Spector penyanyi berambut ikal asal Rusia yang lahir pada 18 February tahun 1980 di Moscow, USSR dengan nama lengkap Regina Ilyinichna Spektor. Dalam lagu berjudul Us ini Regina Spector bernyanyi sembari memainkan piano dengan cengkok vocal falset yang cukup sexy menurut saya. Jadilah lagu ini menjadi salah satu soundtrack film romansa 500 days of summer. Akustik pianonya terasa banget meskipun pilihan nada nada tidak terlalu rumit. Easy listening bangetlah,, so? Just enjoy it.

"Us"

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs have fun, have fun

They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep

We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's marble sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves

And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
