Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying
這個Labor Day的Long weekend還真是個不折不扣的"Labor" day"s"。
原因說來話長，不過如果能夠體會我已經必須要靠刷洗廚房的水槽污垢來逃離工作的煩惱，那麼或許可以理解為何我會在這假期即將結束的這個晚上，特地還要跑回車上拿出Belle and Sebastian的這張If You're Feeling Sinister，只為了聽一下這首Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying，雖然歌曲本身旨趣不同。
希望這星期結束前，一切能夠告一段落。Man, I need some traveling, better be some place other than this freaking country....
Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying by Belle and Sebastian
Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance
Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
After a while they always get it
They always reach a sorry end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"
