The Shins是Indie音乐领域中最成功的乐队之一，虽然他们来自美国，音乐风格却带有些英伦气息，低调另类，一些曲目呈现出一种忧伤的旋律感。这首清新忧伤的小调被收录到娜塔莉·波特曼主演的独立电影《情归新泽西》中。
Artist:The Shins
Song:New Slang
gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
only, i don't know how they got out, dear. turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
i was happier then with no mind-set.
and if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind.
well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree and i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores and the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
new slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
never should have called
but my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.
and if you'd 'a took to me like
a gull takes to the wind.
well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
and i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
and the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
god speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
and bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.
i'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
and if you'd 'a took to me like
well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
and the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. |
