Big in Japan med Ane Brun

Alphaville-klassikern Big in Japan upplever i dagarna en ny renässans. Nu med norskan Ane Brun. Den ligger just nu etta på iTunes Store. Ane gör den gamla monsterhiten på sitt eget sätt. Ljuvligt melankoliskt. En otrolig skillnad mot originalet. Bättre om du frågar oss. Säg gärna vad du tycker längre ner på sidan.

Winter’s cityside

Crystal bits of snowflakes

All around my head and in the wind

I had no illusions

That I’d ever find a glimpse

Of summer’s heatwaves in your eyes

You did what you did to me

Now it’s history I see

Here’s my comeback on the road again

Things will happen while they can

I will wait here for my man tonight

It’s easy when you’re big in Japan

Aah when you’re big in Japan-tonight…

Big in Japan-be-tight…

Big in Japan… ooh the eastern sea’s so blue

Big in Japan-alright,

Pay! — Then I’ll sleep by your side

Things are easy when you’re big in Japan

Oh when you’re big in Japan

Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes

Of strange illuminated mannequins

Shall I stay here at the zoo

Or should I go and change my point of view

For other ugly scenes

You did what you did to me

Now it’s history I see

Here’s my comeback on the road again

Things will happen while they can

I will wait here for my man tonight

It’s easy when you’re big in Japan

Aah when you’re big in Japan-tonight…

Big in Japan-be-tight…

Big in Japan… ooh the eastern sea’s so blue

Big in Japan-alright, pay!

Then I’ll sleep by your side

Things are easy when you’re big in Japan
