Sunshine State - Drug Dealer (a love song)


순수해보이는 음악치고 제목이 거시기하다 ㅋ
2014년 2월, 이대 정문 앞 디초콜릿 카페에서 친구랑 얘기하면서 우연히 듣게됬다.
당시 스마트폰을 잘 다룰줄 몰라 음악검색을 하지못했다는..ㅠ
결국 어렴풋이 생각나는 가사를 떠올리며 집념으로 찾아냈다!
처음에 우리나라 인디밴드가 부른 줄 알았는데 알고보니 해외뮤지션 노래였다.

좋은 멜로디와 재치있는 가사가 포인트.
한창 썸타고 있는데 일정시간만 되면 사라지는 남자.
남친의 직업을 의사, 예술가, 밤에 일하는 청소부라고 한동안 유추한다.
어느 날 여자는 캐롤의 파티 때 썸타는 남자를 데려간다.
그때 누군가가 그녀에게 그가 마약 밀매업자라고 하고...
자신이 너무 순진했다며 노래가 끝난다.




Been flirting with you for a while

“i like your eyes”, “i like your style”
when you said you liked mine too
i thought i could get close to you


 you called me often, made me laugh
(and)soon we had made dinner plans
we ate a lot and i got drunk
we closed the restaurant down


 i was thinking “is it your place or mine?”
you said you didn’t have the time
you said you had to work but it was already past 2


* are you a doctor?
are you an artist?
are you the man
who cleans the streets when i’m in bed?
are you a writer?
do you drive a taxi until dawn?
(or) am i just too naive to know
what’s going on?


last friday i went out with friends
to hear my favorite dj spin
i danced until my feet got sore
then i saw you on the floor
i asked you to come dance with me

you said “i’d love to but you see,
even though you’re looking fine,
i’m working. i don’t have the time.”
but you’re not behind the bar,
you’re not bouncing or parking cars
so tell me what exactly do you do

* (repeat)

at carol’s party last weekend
i brought you by to meet my friends
when we walked in, the room went dead
someone took me aside and said,
“i don’t think he’s your type,
he deals drugs every night
and besides that he has a girlfriend or two.”

so, you’re not a doctor
you’re not an artist
you’re not the man who cleans the streets
when i’m in bed, no, no
you’re not a writier
you don’t drive a taxi until dawn
i guess i was too naive to know
what’s going on
(repeat)
