Sleep the Clock Around
編曲: Belle & Sebastian
終有一刻將恢復冷靜
And the moment will come when composure returns
戴上面具返回世間,靠在牆上
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
你思緒漂浮著,走過二十碼
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
走進駐紮著時尚之旅的自由之山
Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
在你泥濘的路邊好奇的打量著你
Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way
你落入了人生中第一次無法言說無話可說的境地
And for once in your life you have nothing to say
這時候會有人來到你身邊麼
And could this be the time when somebody will come
然後對你說: “看看你自己,你的存在對這個世界毫無意義。”
To say, 'Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone'
漫步在公園,低頭服下一片安定
Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill
坐在長椅上讀著來自記憶中的姑娘寫給你的信
Read the letter you got from the memory girl
然而這不足以讓你這一天過得充實
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
是的,要想無知無覺,需要的比牛奶更多
Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
你相信這點,你相信
And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that
當你看它的時候,它正向你揮舞著旗幟
And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag
美國的災難之旗
Of the United States of Calamity, hey!
當你做完所有之後,男孩兒,你將為此買單
After all that you've done boy, Im sure you're going to pay
在一個清晨,你來到了婦女沙龍
In the morning you come to the ladies salon
為了返還的王位做足準備
To get all fitted out for The *****back Throne
然而,你想提供幫助的地方門可羅雀
But the people are living far away from the place
真是一種浪費
Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste
疑問會繼續,直到某人說到
And the puzzle will last till somebody will say
只要你的頭腦依然年輕,就總是存在很多需要你做的事
'There's a lot to be done while your head is still young'
如果你放下筆,拋開煩惱
If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind
回憶閃耀的那一刻就會來臨
Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine
現在困難已經過去,每個人得償所願
Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
每個人幸福快樂,他們為自己的來到而高興
Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
最後你去了你最終找到的地方
Then you go to the place where you've finally found
你看到自己睡在鬧鐘旁邊
You can look at yourself sleep the clock around
睡在鬧鐘旁邊
sleep the clock around
