Thomas' Tagebuch

Tagebuch 26.03.10

怎麼會想到這首歌的呢？是因為聽到電視的歌唱比賽節目裡，有人唱了Frente的Bizzare Love Triangle。那首歌本來是New Order的一首舞曲，不過好幾年之後，被Frente用簡簡單單的吉他重新詮釋，再度變成一首暢銷作品。

Being Boring本來也是Pet Shop Boys的一首舞曲，不過好幾年後被Merril Bainbridge翻唱成簡單的民謠版本。因為和Bizzare love triangle很像，都是舞曲翻唱成民謠的歌曲，所以當電視選秀節目有參賽選手唱了那首歌時，我馬上就想到Pet Shop Boys的舊作。

大家的年輕歲月在做什麼呢？大家都有完全沒有煩惱的日子，每天晚上都去Party，從Disco樓下出來的時候，發現已經天亮的日子嗎？

這是本週我的主打歌。如果你沒聽過的話，讓我來介紹我覺得最美的一首歌。

Being Boring

I came across a cache of old photos

And invitations to teenage parties

"Dress in white" one said, with quotations

From someone's wife, a famous writer

In the nineteen-twenties

When you're young you find inspiration

In anyone who's ever gone

And opened up a closing door

She said: "We were never feeling bored

'Cause we were never being boring

We had too much time to find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make

amends"

And we were never holding back or worried that

Time would come to an end

When I went I left from the station

With a haversack and some trepidation

Someone said: "If you're not careful

You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for

In the nineteen-seventies"

But I sat back and looking forward

My shoes were high and I had scored

I'd bolted through a closing door

I would never find myself feeling bored

'Cause we were never being boring

We had too much time to find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make

amends"

And we were never holding back or worried that

Time would come to an end

We were always hoping that, looking back

You could always rely on a friend

Now I sit with different faces

In rented rooms and foreign places

All the people I was kissing

Some are here and some are missing

In the nineteen-nineties

I never dreamt that I would get to be

The creature that I always meant to be

But I thought in spite of dreams

You'd be sitting somewhere here with me

'Cause we were never being boring

We had too much time to find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make

amends"

And we were never holding back or worried that

Time would come to an end

We were always hoping that, looking back

You could always rely on a friend

And we were never being boring

We had too much time to find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make

amends"

And we were never being boring

We were never being bored

'Cause we were never being boring

We were never being bored
