Þessi vika og allar næstu eru tileinkaðar Halldóri kunningja mínum sem er eini maðurinn á Íslandi sem skoðar þessa síðu og nær sér í lag vikunnar.

Ég kann honum þakkir fyrir að halda mér við efnið, án hans væri "song of the week" orðið "song of the year".

Fyrir ykkur sem villist kannski hingað inn, vil ég deila með ykkur a.m.k. einu bréfi sem hefur orðið mér mikil hvatning í að halda þessari síðu við.

Þetta lag er tær snilld, textinn er klassískur, fjallar um ríka konu sem getur ekki keypt ástina, eins og Bítlarnir föttuðu á síðustu öld.
Þetta er helv. góð ádeila á nútímalíf og þá sem telja peninga geta keypt allt.
(Þó ég sé reyndar sammála Brakúla greifa þegar hann sagði;
"peningar, peningar... Þeir kaupa ekki hamingju, en þeir gera eymdina svo miklu bærilegri")

Fyrir efnishyggjupúkanna.. I give you:

» A Camp - I Can Buy You «

a life of sanity and dignity you know it takes two
and what's the use in being a millionaire
if i can't have you

i wanna buy you...
... a home

i'll pay your friends if you're feeling alone
the pain of losing a guy like you
it's a bigger cost than paying your dues

i can buy you
oh yeah oh yeah
but i can't make you do what you don't
and i can hire you
oh yeah oh yeah
but i can't make you love me i can't make you...

you say i never go for little and i always need more
and you're a thousand dollar playboy that i just can't afford
but i guess you got me oh oh
you got me hanging around for too long
i don't wanna stop it oh no oh no
i bought you a life and it's with me you belong

i can buy you
oh yeah oh yeah
but i can't make you do what you don't
and i can hire you
oh yeah oh yeah
but i can't make you love me i can't make you care

so if i can't make you love me if i can't make you care
what prize can take me there in this world?
somebody told me cash is king

i didn't mean to force you oh no
but i bet you a fortune it's with me you belong

and i can buy you
oh yeah oh yeah
but i can't make you do what you don't
and i can hire you
oh yeah oh yeah
but i can't make you love me
i can't make you care
i can't take you there
anymore
