私の大好きなThe Smithsのこの曲、
歌詞がとにかく素敵で私は凄くそこに惹かれます
The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me ?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don't believe me ?
And if they don't believe me now
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me ?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don't believe me ?
And if they don't believe me now
オスカー・ワイルドやリルケの詩などとも共通する世界観がすごくユニーク。
Belle And Sebastianの歌詞もThe Smiths同様に好きにならずにはいられません。
例えば、"Family Tree"
I've been feeling down
I've been looking round the townFor somebody just like me
But the only ones I see
Are the dummies in the window
They spend their money on clothes
It saddens me to think
That the only ones I see are mannequins
Looking stupid, being used and being thin
And I don't know why I hang around with them
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
そして"Expectation"
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
You've been used, you're confused
Write a song, I'll sing along
Are you calm? Settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
You've been used, you're confused
Write a song, I'll sing along
Are you calm? Settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again
最近ではGod Help The Girlで注目を浴びているB&S。
以前、メンバーのRichardとRobとDJをする機会があって、彼らがちゃんと7"をboxに入れてもって来たのは凄く嬉しかった
思い出です。
そのGod Help The Girlでも楽曲提供をしているThe Divine Comedy（私が昔からずっと（いまでも！）一番好きなアーティスト）が
Charlotte Gainsbourgと共演したこの曲も凄く良いです。
彼はイギリス出身ですが、アメリのサントラを手がけたYann Tiresenの曲でもゲストヴォーカルで参加するなど、フランスでの方が人気があるのかもしれません。
日本では全くと言っていい程注目されてませんが、God Help The Girlで、少しでも日の目を見る事を祈ってます。
長くなってしまったので、今日はここらへんで！
