Savage Garden_Santa Monica

    本來就很喜歡這首歌,只是因為已介紹過野人花園,所以未再提及
。剛巧在別的板上看到這首歌,突然有些懷念這個消失的團體,於是再
跟大家介紹一次這個好聲音。
  這首歌也是在野人花園的同名專輯中,但最先由於被Truly,Madly,
Deeply所吸引,並沒有特別留意到這個曲子,直到很久以前偶然在自己
買的CD裡聽到,發現原來有一首感覺帶點慵懶的旋律,這才喜歡上它。

  直到要介紹這曲時,才發現它的歌詞挺有趣,畢竟以我的英文聽力
,當隨性享受音樂的同時,還能聽出歌詞在唱什麼,實在有點困難。至
於歌詞有趣何在,就交給你自行體會啦!






        Santa Monica

In Santa Monica, in the winter time,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn it's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?

But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference, or would you?

In Santa Monica,
All the people got modern names like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this

But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference

See on the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference, or would you?

Would you?

But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference

See on the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference, or would you?
