Damien Rice - accidental babies @ barachi

Damien Rice的苦瓜臉又來了,
這次要介紹的是整張專輯裡我最愛的一首...

放在專輯裡倒數第二首的 accidental babies,
算是非常典型的 damien rice 風格:
破碎的樂句與隨性的節拍,
和 9 crimes 或 animals were gone 這類工整漂亮的旋律比起來更直指人心;
依舊平鋪直敘的歌詞中依舊散發出大量的無奈與緬懷...
(不過這次很多地方寫的很不含蓄耶!!)

accidental babies

i held you like a lover
happy hands
and your elbow in the appropriate place
and we ignored our others' happy plans
for that delicate look upon your face
our bodies moved and hardened
hurting parts of your garden
with no room for a pardon
in a place where no one knows what we have done

do you come
together ever with him?
is he dark enough
enough to see your light?
do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
do you miss my smell?
is he bold enough to take you on?
do you feel like you belong?
does he drive you wild?
or just mildly free?
what about me?

you held me like a lover
sweaty hands
and my foot in the appropriate place
we used cushions to cover happy glands
and the mild issue of our disgrace
our minds pressed and guarded
while our flesh disregarded
the lack of space for the light-hearted
in the boom that beats our drum

and i know i make you cry
i know sometimes you wanna die
but do you really feel alive without me?
if so be free
if not leave him for me
before one of us has
accidental babies
for we are ...

華納似乎沒有為這首拍MV,
