Mother, give me
back my old room
I won’t make a mess like I used to,
I won’t play my records

loud at nights,
I’ll keep it quiet
Mother, let me have my old bed back
and lay out clothes for me.

People give me work and money
They depend on me now,
if they only knew how thin the ice they walk on is.
If they only knew how thin the ice they walk on
is

Mother, please make
my decisions
like you once did,
this time I won’t pester you about it,
I’ll surrender

Mother, these streets
are too cold for me
I’m standing by your door
A plant under each arm,
let me move back in

Father, the last time you offered to teach me
all about the Baltic Sea, it was wasted on me.
Now I’m ready, throw me once again
the footballs you tried to throw and this time
I will catch and learn and know

Mother, if that’s not enough
bring me all the way back to
my original address
to your womb.

I have trouble sleeping but I don’t recall I had while in your womb. 

Arco - Happy New Year

Happy New Year - Arco

這是來自英國倫敦的民謠團體Arco
我喜歡這種安靜且帶著淡淡或濃濃哀傷的歌曲
讓我不要心浮氣躁，歸於喧囂，得意又忘形

因為得意忘形不自覺又違規闖了紅燈，一次代價1800
而且還是10天內，被開了兩張(吐血～)
我覺的我現在被trainning的很好，行車一定停在停止線前，紅燈不敢右轉，更不敢左轉
被埋伏的警察飛車攔下的感覺很差

眾人殷殷期盼，集千萬寵愛的小蘋果上禮拜誕生了 
天蝎座，是一個長像清秀的正妹
好多好多漂亮可愛的衣服等著他穿呢   

禮拜五深夜和台北的球友人魚、宜謙、小美還有他女朋友
去傳說中的出一張嘴市民店吃燒烤喝啤酒
食材很棒驚為天人  
心情很好氣氛很棒，好不容易有個完整的週末
更嗨的是他們隔天要去宜蘭烏石港衝浪
但我只想回家睡到自然醒，做我想做的事情，悠哉的渡過週末

忙碌如戰爭的台北縣農漁民健檢終於來到尾聲了
只剩下下禮拜兩場五股農會各300人
人數弄的好像真．三國無雙
好似隨便無雙亂舞一下就可以300壯士輕鬆擊破，敵將討取

過程其實是很累的，只是做久了痛苦就習慣了
安享我的剩餘100天的役期了
三個月來發生許多事，很熱血，很累
戰爭從夏天到秋天 
我的雙手都因為搬運東西而長繭了，幾個替代意退伍後應該可以一起開一家搬家公司
 
當初剛來醫院只有四名替代役
現在退伍兩個後，又陸續來了六個
所以現在幅員總共八位
替代役一直去，也一直來
    
“替代役不死，只是逐漸退伍。“

song: Happy New Year


january sky like a slate wiped clean 
and stillness of air where nothing has been 
wait for your word as if to say 
another last chance lives from today 

happy new year - the world just keeps turning 
day into night, night into day 
holding on tight, millions all hoping 
something like love will light up the way 

dying for change, but the feeling won't last 
summer will come and be over too fast 
grow into sun, fade into rain 
a miniature life to live over again 

happy new year - the world just keeps going 
tumbling round, screaming through space 
holding on tight, millions all hoping 
something like love will light up their face 

happy new year to everyone hurting 
praying this time it all becomes clear 
here when the light is pale and uncertain 
happy new year 
happy new year 
 

Rachael Yamagata - Duet

song: Duet

(feat. Ray LaMontagne)
Oh Lover, hold on 
'till I come back again 
For these arms are growin' tired, 
And my tales are wearing thin 

If you're patient I will surprise, 
When you wake up i'll have come 

All the angerwill settle down 
And we'll go do all the things we should have done 

Yes I remember what we said 
As we lay down to bed 
I'll be here if you will only come back home 

Oh lover, i'm lost 
Because the road i've chosen beckens me away 

Oh lover, don't you rome 
Now i'm fighting words I never thought i'd say 

But I remember what we said 
As we lay down to bed 
I'll forgive you oh 
If you just come back home 

Hmmm mmmm 
Hmmmm mmmm 

Oh lover, I'm old 
You'll be out there and be thinking just of me 

And I will find you down the road 
And will return back home to where we're meant to be 

'cause I remember what we said 
As we lay down to bed 
We'll be back soon as we make history.

song: Elephants  

- 
If the elephants have past lives 
yet all destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream 
Like you and I they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card 
when I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember 
when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call 
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals 
Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love keep it kind
Keep it good
Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger 
but keep one eye open at night

Mojave 3 - Hard To Miss You

Hard To Miss You - Mojave 3


這是一張令人驚喜連連的專輯，未免太好聽了吧 
 
artist: Mojave 3
album: Spoon and Rafter (2003)
song: Hard to Miss You 
 
- 
Wish that I could make you laugh and make you feel whole again, 
I can not lay here on this line. 
Wish that I could see you now, standing there without a care, 
I guess you'd make me smile. 
I'ts hard to miss ya, it's hard to miss ya... 

They say the world's a smaller place but they dont' say it to your face, 
it's a pretty stupid thing to say. 
I don't feel it in my space, I don 't feel ya in my space, 
I just want to see ya in my space 
It's hard to miss ya, it's hard to miss ya... 

The Grand Archives - Miniature Birds

超cute的一首歌～
 
 
artist: The Grand Archives
album: Grand Archives (2008)
song: Torn Blue Foam Couch


 
Westward course of empire has got 
its wheels turning faster and on to disaster 
so long, long, such a long way to go. 
Riding up on a high horse looking at 
all the soldiers and the holy rollers 
so long, long, such a long way to go. 
It didn't take that long. 
It didn't take that long... 
I could be reasonable, I could fight, 
I could have at least been a little bit wiser 
so long, long, such a long way go. 
You know when those miniature birds 
sing an ignorant song the choir's 
putting us on trial. 
so long, long, such a long way to go. 
It didn't take that long. 
It didn't take that long... 
Riding up on high. 
*Riding up on high... 
It didn't take that long. 
It didn't take that long... 
 

The Grand Archives - Torn Blue Foam Couch

來自美國西雅圖的樂隊 The Grand Archives 2008年首發的這張同名專輯
好聽到爆炸  
爆炸!!!
 

artist: The Grand Archives
album: Grand Archives (2008)
song: Torn Blue Foam Couch
 

Hold on the further waves are high,
sleepless every night,
lie down shading your eyes from everyone.

Hey darlin' don't you look fine,
so blue all the time,
when you're terrified.

Over and over the lines
you memorized in time,
now you're so tired
and the telephone's too far away.

Phone lives have taken all your time,
taken all this time,
for the rest of our lives we're terrified.

The photographs they've taken make you look blind,
your costumes made of twine,
now you're forgetting all of your lines again.

But hey darlin',
don't you look fine,
your two front teeth shaved
like ice and sharp as razors.

Hey darlin' don't you look finfe,
the dull look in your eyes,
you're terrified.

Holding the hands of our crimes,
darlin' don't you look fine,
as brave as we were those days.

Doing the best we knew how
on a torn blue foam couch,
as brave as we were those days.

Holding the hands of our crimes,
darlin' don't you look fine,
as brave as we were those days.
