皇天不負有心人﹐終於給我找到了Ben Gibbard為Styrofoam填詞兼主唱的這首《Couches In Alleys》的歌詞了﹗
Couches In Alleys
Hey Jack it’s me,
I don’t mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind.
At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will be reached in a matter of miles.
And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the fences will grow higher than redwood trees.
And I know your demise.
And I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me.
Oh Jack you see, I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my hair.
When the wheels ceased to spin and I cased my surroundings, I realized I hadn’t gone anywhere.
When the problems I’d left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever claim.
And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and rotten remains when I got home.
一如Ben歌聲裡所反映出來的﹕depressing, but beautifully done.
p/s: 歌詞裡的Jack, 相信是指美國小說家/詩人Jack Kerouac 。而歌詞內容極可能是衍生自Kerouac那部描寫Beat Generation的小說《On The Road》。
