"In Liverpool"Suzanne Vega


"In Liverpool"

In Liverpool
On Sunday
No traffic
On the avenue
The light is pale and thin
Like you
No sound, down
In this part of town
Except for the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am

Homesick for a clock
That told the same time
sometimes you made no sense to me
if you lie on the ground
in somebody's arms
you'll probably swallow some of their history

And the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am

I'll be the girl who sings for my supper
You'll be the monk whose forehead is high
He'll be the man who's already working
Spreading a memory all through the sky

In Liverpool
On Sunday
No reason to even remember you now

Except for the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am

In Liverpool [X2]

In Liverpool這首歌是我在帕華洛帝與流行群星演唱會(本輯由當今首屈一指的男高音 - 帕華洛帝與十數位流行樂壇最具號召力的歌手共同為「地中海型貧血症」醫療費籌募基金所舉辦的慈善演唱會實況錄音。)第一次聽到的。從此我整張專輯就只聽這首歌,可惜高中那時候網路不像現在那麼發達,也不知道Suzanne Vega這個人,後來CD不見後就再也無法找到相關資訊了...(又是高中,我高中好像很閒)

沒想到剛剛在找What a wonderful world時,心想會不會這首歌也找的到,BINGO!!!

另外一首Tom's Diner也很有趣
