For the first time in public, I will now reveal my theme song for the 2006 Mets. I’ve been using it in my head since Saturday but have hesitated to mention it here because of loads of bad precedent where me and adopted Mets theme songs are concerned.
But bad precedent has left the building. Just like the Phillies’ chances of overtaking us, just like the Braves’ divisional streak, just like any doubt I had that the New York Mets are on their way to greater and greater things [1].
From the summer of 2003 — though far more appropriate to the baseball summer of 2006 — I give you t.A.T.u. [2]
Not gonna get us
They’re not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Starting from here, let’s make a promise
You and me, let’s just be honest
We are gonna run, nothing can stop us
Even the night, that falls all around us
Soon there’ll be laughter and voices
Beyond the clouds over the mountains
We’ll run away on roads that are empty
Lights from the airfield shining upon you
Nothing can stop this, not now I love you
They’re not gonna get us
They’re not gonna get us
Nothing can stop this, not now I love you
They’re not gonna get us
They’re not gonna get us
They’re not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
We’ll run away, keep everything simple
Night will come down, our guardian angel
We rush ahead, the crossroads are empty
Our spirits rise they’re not gonna get us
My love for you, always forever
Just you and me, all else is nothing
Not going back, not going back there
They don’t understand
They don’t understand us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Nothing can stop us, not now I love you
They’re not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
Nothing can stop this, not now I love you
They’re not gonna get us
They’re not gonna get us
They’re not gonna get us
They’re not gonna get us
