The National - Slow show

其實我現在不該再聽The National、ENVY或Cigarettes after Sex
應該聽聽Pulp、或Vampire Weekend這種歡樂一點的歌
好吧其實Cigarettes after Sex的歌詞不是太悲傷，而且還蠻甜蜜的
但越甜蜜的歌詞聽起來越哀傷阿...
就像看了很歡樂的劇之後，結束那種失落感會更強一樣
我想我應該有點自虐的傾向...

Slow show一直不是The National裡我最喜歡的歌
我更愛Apartment Story、Fake Empire或是Terrible Love
不過現在陷入一種情緒之後
Slow show的歌詞看起來更有感觸
面對喜歡的人總是做什麼事都不太對勁
一直在想到底是哪天或哪裡出了錯

那天在網路上看到一句話覺得很有感
不喜歡的人給再多也不會感動
再多的陪伴只是糾纏而已
雖然也沒有真的陪伴，不過我也不想繼續糾纏下去了...

Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute, more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in the drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I'm very, very frightened, I'll overdo it
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay

I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
And not thinking of my dick?

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you

Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I'm very, very frightened, I'll overdo it

You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
