英文影视原声：哈利赫敏跳舞配乐O'Children

虽然这一系列魔幻电影中鲜有插曲配乐，在第七部的《哈利波特与死亡圣器》中，我们还是听到了一首略带忧伤的歌。哈利为了让赫敏开心起来邀她在帐篷中跟着电台的音乐跳一支舞，背景音乐就是这首来自NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS的O'Children。有一霎那，两个刚成年的孩子仿佛褪去了现实的重压，成为了普通而快乐的年轻人，轻松愉悦地随音乐摇摆，这一份少年时结下的友谊也温暖地荡漾开来，感染着每一位观众。

O'Children
by NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS

Pass me that lovely little gun
My dear, my darting¹ one
The cleaners are coming, one by one
You don't even want to let them start

They are knocking now upon your door
They measure the room, they know the score
They're mopping up the butcher's floor
Of your broken little hearts

O children

Forgive us now for what we've done
It started out as a bit of fun
Here, take these before we run away
The keys to the gulag

O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice

Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
They're gathering² round with all my friends
We're older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning

O children

We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal dear
It's round about, it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings

O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice

The cleaners have done their job on you
They're hip³ to it, man, they're in the groove⁴
They've hosed you down, you're good as new
They're lining⁵ up to inspect you

O children

Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
He's found the answer that was lost
We're all weeping now, weeping because
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you

O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice

Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station

Hey, little train! Wait for me!
I once was blind but now
I see Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?

Hey little train! Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
In this process of elimination⁶

Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's beyond my wildest expectation

Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station
