Videos: New York x British

Creo que pasó muchas veces en la historia del rock: los músicos ingleses van a New York, la flashean y le componen temas y hasta discos enteros.
Acá van dos temazos. Presten atención a las similitudes que hay en las letras, las cosas que a cada uno le copó de la Gran Manzana.
La ciudad que dejó el trono vacante de Capital del Mundo.
Por cierto ¿cuál será la del siglo XXI?
  Richard Ashcroft, New York (2000) Are you tuning in/ Are you tuning in/ I wanted to go half my life/ And I feel kind of strange/ Like I never lived that life/ And I'm trying hard To control my heart/ And I always want to know/ And I always want to go
New York are you tuning in/ New York big city of dreams New York/ O what a city New York
Are you tuning in/ Are you tuning in
There's now time to unpack yet/ Lets get straight out on the Street/ And feel no inner bishions/ This city was built for me/ And my head is full of questions/ When did I feel this good/ In the arms of my lover/ Burning through the night of New York
And it's funny how time flyes/ In the city that never sleeps/ It's getting after hours/ And I'm feeling the heat/ I'm almost dead and buried/ The days nearly done/ But I want to keep on going/ I'm going to kiss the sun in New York
And I'm feeling kind of selfish/ I've been busy on your island/ Just having my own fun/ It's an English tradition/ Find some money make some time/ Get busy on your island/ Cos' we will only lose our minds in New York.  
The Charlatans UK, NY (There´s no need to stop) (2006) New York city 7 o'clock/ Giving it up for the vintage look/ Listening to the radio asking/  What's the deal boys/  We're into the wild unknown/  A freak show/  A place we call home
We don't need to educate/  We only want to stay up late/  Looking for these broken joints/  Take in a peepshow?/  We need to be told the reason/  We're all being sold
New York say what!/  I love you, I tell you, There's no need to stop!/ There's no need to stop!
Underground counter culture/  Eat you up like a hungry vulture/  Look at you half alive/  Like Dr Jeckal and Mr Hyde/  You'll never see what I seen/  You do last night
New York say what!/  I love you, I tell you, There's no need to stop!/  There's no need to stop!/  There's no need to
New York City 7 o'clock/  Giving it up for the vintage look underground/  I love this raps/  It's now or never/  A reason to live/  A reason to die
New York say what!/  I love you, I tell you,  There's no need to stop
