На первый взгляд песенка очень простая — из разряда "Я уже где это слышал сотню раз", но если дать ей шанс и дослушать до третьего припева, а заодно досмотреть дотуда же (это как раз несложно: мультики любят все), то мнение о ней может несколько измениться. Я о музыкальной стороне, потому что текст действительно проще не бывает: один парень познакомился с другим — обычная история.
I met Marcus sitting at the bar He was the kind of guy you wanted to kiss He had the most beautiful piercing eyes And I-want-to-be-naughty-with-you lips I’m sat staring at this skateboard-scene, ska punk-loving guy from Rileys And as the rain came down on that Sunday night He went in for the kill with a glint in his eye
"It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy" That was his opening line It’s really corny and it makes me laugh sometimes It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy That was the first thing he said I just cringed and shook my head
I went with Marcus back to his apartment Hidden just behind the station (underground) His walls were covered in posters of idols and rock stars who had died too young I’m sat wondering what the hell I’m doin’ with this skateboard punk from Rileys And just as I decide I should be making a move He is standing in the doorway in his birthday suit (Standing in the doorway in the nude)
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy What a ridiculous line It’s kinda tragic but it makes me laugh sometimes It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy If that was the first thing he said Then who’s the mug sitting here in his bed!
Oh Marcus, what am I to do? I’m head over heels for you I could stay all night But I’ve gotta stop dreaming and wasting my time Yet your chest feels like heaven when it’s pressing on mine
Well ok… …I’ll stay
I left Marcus sleeping on his mattress with my number on his bedside table (and £40) I paid tribute with a little wink to River Phoenix hanging on the wall As I’m walking in the rain with my head held high, my phone starts ringing I saw him again another seven times And I still hold on to that opening line (I still can’t get over that line)
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy What a dumb opening line But to his credit, it still gets me every time It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy That was the first thing he said And now I can’t get him out of my head
It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy (You gotta seize the opportunity whenever you can) It’s a beautiful thing when boy meets boy (And if you need a servicing then Marcus, he is your man)
