Panjangnya ...

Saya memang pernah mendengar tentang band yang menamakan dirinya Panic! at the Disco, pernah juga mendengar selintas 1-2 lagunya, tapi kebetulan jenis musiknya tidak cocok untuk saya. Yang menarik dari grup ini adalah judul sejumlah lagunya yang cukup panjang.
Contohnya:
There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet
The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage
London Beckoned Songs About Money Written by Machines
Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

Mengapa sepanjang itu?
saya tidak tahu, tapi kabarnya judul-judul itu mereka kutip dari novel dan film.
Selain panjang, hal lain yang menarik bagi saya adalah sulitnya menemukan kaitan judul dengan lirik lagunya.
Apalagi saya memang bukan jenis orang yang dapat memahami makna puisi atau lirik lagu dengan mudah ...

Berikut ini lirik dua lagu mereka.


There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet

Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman.
From that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.

Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman.
From that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and...

When you're in black slacks with accentuating, off-white, pinstripes, woah-oh
Everything goes according to plan.

I am the new cancer,
Never looked better, you can't stand it.
Because you say so under your breath.
Your reading lips, "When did he get all confident?"
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer,
Never looked better and you can't stand it.

Next is a trip to the..the ladies room in vain and
I bet you just can't keep up(keep up!) with these fashionistas and.
Tonight tonight, you are you are a whispering campaign.
I bet to them, your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like sh--
Talk to the mirror, oh, choke back tears.
And keep telling yourself that,"I'm a diva"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box
On the table, they just so happen to be laced with
Nitroglycerin.

I'm the new cancer,
Never looked better, you can't stand it.
Because you say so under your breath.
You're reading lips, "When did he get all confident?"
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer,
Never looked better and you can't stand it.

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better and you can't stand it.
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better and you can't stand it.

And I know and I know, It just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up.
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course I'll be distracted when I spike the punch.



The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage

Sit tight I'm gonna need you to keep time
Come on just snap, snap, snap your fingers for me
Good, good now we're making some progress
Come on just tap, tap, tap your toes to the beat

And I believe this may call for a proper introduction
And well don't you see that I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue

Swear to shake it up, and if you swear to listen
And we're still young but desperate for attention
And, I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys
Trophy wives

Swear to shake it up, and if you swear to listen
And we're still young but desperate for attention
And, I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys
Trophy wives

Applause! Applause!
No wait, wait
Dear studio audience I've an announcement to make
It seems the artists these days are not who you think
So we'll pick back up on that on another page

And I believe this may call for a proper introduction
And well don't you see I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue

Swear to shake it up, and if you swear to listen
And we're still young but desperate for attention
And, I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys
Trophy wives

Swear to shake it up, and if you swear to listen
And we're still young but desperate for attention
And, I aim to be your eyes
Trophy boys
Trophy wives
