Well I'm a spanish girl whose body lives in Barcelona but her heart and mind live in London -I think it's such a good way to describe it- so here's my excuse: I can make a lot of mistakes with grammar because english is not my first language. I like music -well, I don't know if 'like' it's a good word, maybe 'I live for music' it's more likely- and I'm a Chelsea supporter. I like mods, skins, punks... but don't think I'm into any kind of subculture. I wanted to start this with my favourite band -that is Madness- but considering the name of the blog I thought I was better to start with The Jam.
So here's the song that gives the name to my blog...
Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy living with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I'm so happy I can't see the point.
Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade and,
I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money - of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got -
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
[Me?] I'm too busy dodging between the flak
What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies put you down and their promises bust
You'll see kidney machine replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
[So] let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow
We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
Braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!
Going underground, I'm going underground!
But I'm quite happy living with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I'm so happy I can't see the point.

When I started listening to The Jam this one was the first song I liked but I'd like to post here another video of the song I like the most now, in this case performed by the singer, Paul Weller, after the years as a solo singer.
That's all, for now, I'll try to keep posting ;)!
