标题[闲聊] paperback / paperbag
时间Fri Jul 8 22:23:06 2005
查歌词的时候发现的双胞胎：
The Beatles 的 Paperback Writer 和 Radiohead 的 Paperbag Writer
*Paperback writer
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
Based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
It's the dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand.
His son is working for the Daily Mail,
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer (writer, writer)
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,
I'll be writing more in a week or two.
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight.
If you must return it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer (writer, writer)
Paperback writer - paperback writer
Paperback writer - paperback writer

*Paperbag Writer
blow into this paperbag,
go home, stop grinning at everyone.
blow into this paperbag,
go home, stop grinning at everyone.
it was nice when it lasted,
but now it's gone.
it was nice when it lasted,
but now it's gone.
blow into this paperbag.
take your armor off,
you're not under attack.
take your armor off,
you're not under attack.
come on, come on.
blow into this paperbag,
go home, stop grinning at everyone.
blow into this paperbag,
go home, stop grinning at everyone.
and they were honeybees
on a blade of grass.
take your armor off,
you're not under attack.
blow into this paperbag.
blow into this paperbag.
前面一首很有趣，虽然我不曾听过
小金龟们描写一个小人物的小小作家梦，大概这在那个年代也是一种流行吧？
後面这首……应该是在写一种精神科方面的治疗方式：
面对外界感到压力太大难以承受的时候，
请赶快跑回家，找个纸袋对着里面拼命吹气可以有效减压
。。。。。
一个脸色苍白黑眼框皮肤虚肿的白种猪冲到厕所
里对着镜子把牛皮纸袋套在脸上拼命吹
。。。。
我几乎可以想像这样子的MV了。
外界总是充满压力，人总是太过脆弱。
这在这个年代也是一种流行吧？
这不禁让我想到国父 孙中山先生 在 民生主义 第一讲 里提到的一段指示：
「马克思研究社会问题所有的心得
只见到社会进化的毛病
没有见到社会进化的原理
所以马克思只可说是一个社会病理家
不能说是一个社会生理家。 」
radiohead在发掘社会病态方面，真是颇有独到之处呀。
这样联想，也蛮病态的吧？
