Nicola Roberts - Gladiator

Ding dong, ding dong,
ding dong, ding dong
Falling down to London town
Ding dong ding dong
ding dong ding dong
Past the roof tops and the crown

The rules are easy
if you like to break them
and offend
A role reversal
that's the password
so come make a friend
It's topsy turvy to give mercy
to the guilty men
We love you faking
'cause you made
the effort to pretend

Like a gladiator craves
the blood of his spectators
I'm in the middle of a man
I'll have to call you later
And just before I pull out
I swear to use indicators
so you can my show
You can you can see my show

Show show show show
show show show
Here I go, go, go
Here I go, go, go
Gonna tap tap tap tap
tap tap tap
On the mic now
Say my name now

I roll the dice you play like mice
send you round the bend
Sugar and spice screaming
is nice the fun never ends
I'm miss mischievous
innocent to the bitter end
Make up is make believe
so slap it on be my best fried

I had to call a fire man
my hair was burning bridges
I'm shooting bullets
from my chest
I' super woman bitches
And if my balls of
steel have stuck half way
down your pipe
I got some KY,
time to open open open wide

Show show show show
show show show
Here I go, go, go
Here I go, go, go
Gonna tap tap tap tap
tap tap tap
On the mic now
Say my name now

Those days,
I stumbled in the dark,
angels give back my spark.
The wrong girl trapped
in the right place
I've had enough I've dusted off
And wiped my blood on you

Ding dong ding dong
ding dong ding dong
Falling down to London town
Ding dong ding dong
ding dong ding dong
Past the roof tops and the crown

Show show show show
show show show
Here I go, go, go
Here I go, go, go
Gonna tap tap tap tap
tap tap tap
On the mic now
Say my name now

여러모로 충격적인 앨범이었다.
진짜 후크송이란 이런 것이다, 라는 것을 보여준 앨범이랄까.
앨범 속 싱글들 모두 개성이 강하다.

후크송과 복고가 대세라고 하지 않는가.
이 곡 같은 경우에도 중독성 최고의 훅에다가 신디사이저를 사용해서 만든 복고 분위기가 곡 전체를 이루고 있다.

내게는 길티 플레져 같은 곡이다.
밖에서는 잘 안 듣게 되지만, 집에서는 어느새 찾아서 듣고 있다.

조금만 듣다보면, 자다가도 이 노래가 떠오르게 될 것이다.
