I decree today that life is simply taking and not givingEngland is mine, it owes me a livingBut ask me why, and I'll spit in your eyeOh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eyeBut we cannot cling to the old dreams anymoreNo, we cannot cling …
Hand in gloveThe sun shines out of our behindsNo, it's not like any other loveThis one is different, because it's usHand in gloveWe can go wherever we pleaseAnd everything depends uponHow near you stand to me And if the people stareThen th…
All the streets are crammed with thingsEager to be heldI know what hands are forAnd I'd like to help myselfYou ask me the timeBut I sense something moreAnd I would like to give youWhat I think you're asking forYou, handsome devilOh you, ha…
How Soon Is Now? I am the sonAnd the heirOf a shyness that is criminally vulgarI am the son and heirOf nothing in particular You shut your mouthHow can you sayI go about things the wrong way?I am human and I need to be lovedJust like every…
This Charming Man Punctured bicycleOn a hillside desolateWill nature make a man of me yet? When in this charming carThis charming man Why pamper life's complexityWhen the leather runs smoothOn the passenger seat? I would go out tonightBut …
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkindYou took me behind a dis-used railway lineAnd said, "I know a place where we can go, where we are not known"And then you gave me something that I won't forget too soon But I can't belie…
All men have secrets and here is mineSo let it be knownFor we have been through hell and high tideI think I can rely on youAnd yet you start to recoilHeavy words are so lightly thrownBut still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you S…
William, It Was Really Nothing The rain falls hard on a humdrum townThis town has dragged you downOh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum townThis town has dragged you down Oh no, and everybody's got to live their lifeAnd God knows I've got t…
2nd訳し終わったので、まとめ。歌詞としては、1stは1stで鬼気迫っててこわかったけど、そのあとに2ndを訳したらちょっと物足りなくも思ったり。音楽的には表現力が増して、メッセージがより明確になっている。文学的な言葉から、音楽的な言葉へ。そう考える…

バンド編から書いたけれど、この宅録ふうの頃が一番好き。といっても単にラフなのではなく、むしろ極限まで削ぎ落して構築された「ベッドルームミュージック」、そしてそう呼ばれる他の音楽より、ずっと特別な何かだった。設計図があるとすれば、その構造を…

Julie Doironをyoutubeで探すとアカウントすらなく、ライブ映像が少なく、あっても携帯で撮られたような、音が悪いものが殆ど。曲名で検索すると、一般の人のカバーの方が多いぐらい。曲はもちろん、アルバムの音質も素晴らしいので、どれもその正規音源を聞…
KEXPでOkkervil Riverが出てた。あれ、こんな感じだったけ？と思った。Julie Doironとスプリット盤を出してた時はかっこ良かった。それで久しぶりにJulie Doironを聴く。「あなたが奇蹟だと思っているものは、9年後も奇蹟であり続けている」という言葉を思い…
それにしても、ジョン・ライドンといい、モリッシーといい、ギャラガー兄弟といい、目に映る全てのことがメッセージじゃなく、コケに変換されるの面白い。 インタビューでの煽り芸が、伝統芸になってる。ディスりって多分ヒップホップからでアメリカから来て…
また、そもそも二人とも太陽の支配星が水星のサイン、双子座と乙女座。水星は言語能力の天体なので、二人ともやたらに口が立つ。しかもそれらが90度でぶつかり合う関係。ノエルは乙女座に天王星冥王星で、元々気難しいところもあって、リアムが射手座の木星…
数日前にオアシスのドキュメンタリー『スーパーソニック』の、言いたい放題したい放題のあの兄弟見てたら「自分なんか考え過ぎかも」と思えてきた。その次の日に再結成のニュース。このところ、ダイアン・フォーチュン『神秘のカバラー』を改めて読んでるの…
Meat Is Murder Heifer whines could be human criesCloser comes the screaming knifeThis beautiful creature must dieThis beautiful creature must dieA death for no reasonAnd death for no reason is murder And the flesh you so fancifully fryIs n…
Barbarism Begins At HomeUnruly boys who will not grow upMust be taken in handUnruly girls who will not settle downThey must be taken in hand A crack on the headIs what you get for not askingAnd a crack on the headIs what you get for asking…
Well I wonder Well I wonderDo you hear me when you sleep?I hoarsely cry Well I wonderDo you see me when we pass?I half-die Please keep me in mindPlease keep me in mind Gasping but somehow still aliveThis is the fierce last stand of all I a…
I'd like to drop my trousers to the worldI am a man of means, of slender meansEach household applianceIs like a new science in my town And if the day came when I felt a natural emotionI'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the oceanAnd …
I am the sonAnd the heirOf a shyness that is criminally vulgarI am the son and heirOf nothing in particular You shut your mouthHow can you sayI go about things the wrong way?I am human and I need to be lovedJust like everybody else does I …
Park the car at the side of the roadYou should know time's tide will smother youAnd I will tooWhen you laugh about people who feel so very lonelyTheir only desire is to dieWell, I'm afraid it doesn't make me smileI wish I could laugh But t…
What she said :"How come someone hasn't noticedThat I'm deadAnd decided to bury me?God knows, I'm ready!"La-la-la... What she said was sadBut then, all the rejection she's hadTo pretend to be happyCould only be idiocyLa-la-la... What she s…
On the day that your mentalityDecides to try to catch up with your biology Come round ...'Cause I want the one I can't haveAnd it's driving me madIt's all over, all over, all over my face On the day that your mentalityCatches up with your …
The last night of the fairBy the big wheel generatorA boy is stabbedAnd his money is grabbedAnd the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine She is famousShe is funnyAn engagement ringDoesn't mean a thingTo a mind consumed by brass (money) And …
Belligerent ghouls run Manchester schoolsSpineless swines, cemented mindsSir leads the troops, jealous of youthSame old suit since 1962 He does the military two-stepDown the nape of my neck I wanna go home, I don't want to stayGive up educ…
1stを訳し終わったので、まとめ。訳してて、こわかったー。。もちろん感動もしましたが。あんなキラキラした音楽で、こういう歌詞だと余計に得体が知れないというか。例えば旅先での早朝に景色を見に散歩へ出て、ひんやりと湿った気持ちのいい空気の中で、事…
