慵懒而不庸碌:Katie Melua,Perfect Circle

一年前有人推荐了一首"nine million bicycles",前阵子又有人推荐了一首"shy boy"，慵懒地唱着"there are nine million bicycles in Beijing""You shy boy~~~",皆来自于同一个声音---Katie Melua.


Artist: Katie Melua
Song: Perfect Circle

A mask is easily placed,
On a betrayed and broken face.
A disguise to hide the past,
When you mapped out my skin
and made the memories last.
Some things are never erased¹,
And I have run when I've been chased,
By recollections of you and me
falling off our homemade castle.

And even when I'm walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can't wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
‘Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch².
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch³.

Why am I fighting, what's it for,
Must let my mask drop to the floor.
My scars I shouldn't hide
from the people who are on my side,
Rolling up my sleeves to fight against,
All the things I locked up
and all the things I fenced.
But it's time to let it out
so we can build a brand new castle.

And even when I'm walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can't wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
‘Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch.
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch.

And even when I'm walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can't wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
‘Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch.
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch.
