特にThe Penelopesの2019年の最新作”Pacific Ampifier”について、The Pale Fouontainsを引き合いに褒めてくださったのには感激しましたし、またつい先週までずっとフェイスブックで、私がシェアする(ネオアコ、ギターポップに限らない)60~80年代の音楽のポストにたくさんの「いいね!」を付けてくださっていた(20~30ぐらいの「いいね!」が一気に来ると彼女とすぐわかるぐらい)、大変な音楽への愛情と、メジャーでもインディーでも広く受け入れられる視野と寛容さに改めて感銘を受けていたところでした。
Some say it’s only a waste of time In my way of loving this always works Seems, from two point five meters high, She’s watching each and every act of mine
So tempted I was sleepwalking So kindly in me she’s still talking
Walk away, with nothing left behind ‘Cause in my heart all her footprints still abide And she does, yes she does But no one’s even foreseen what is guilt in love Still I feel she does me good
Some say it’s only a shot in the dark In my way of loving that’s the spine Seems with talking too much of camouflage She’s watching each and every act of mine
So tempted I was daydreaming So carefully a slim chance was leaving
Walk away, with nothing left behind ‘Cause in my heart all her footprints still abide And she does, yes she does But no one’s even foreseen what is guilt in love Still I feel she does me good
For a chain reaction I’ve been driven away With a single fraction Still it hurts so bad
So tempted I was sleepwalking So kindly in me she’s still talking
Walk away, with nothing left behind ‘Cause in my heart all her footprints still abide For she does, yes she does But no one’s even foreseen what is guilt in love Still I feel she does me good
Larkspur, larkspur I wish I knew you better Larkspur, larkspur you stole my love away
You make me wonder to myself You spoke of something too private The moment I showed a smile You walked away That was all that really hurt
Larkspur, larkspur I wish I knew you better Larkspur, larkspur you stole my love away
You make me wonder to myself Why you didn’t say goodbye To save your face Another poison was laid Will time be the only cure
Larkspur, larkspur I wish I knew you better Larkspur, larkspur you stole my love away
Larkspur, larkspur I always need you dear Larkspur, larkspur you tethered a heart again
I’m in the world without you with aches and fears If we had parted smiling things could’ve been better I’m in the world without you An amateur dreamer If we had parted smiling things could’ve been better
It stays like a wire puzzle can’t even sneer Unless you left abruptly Things could’ve been better
So lucky to see you in a Friday morning haze And even don’t get to know your name So happy to see you talk on the mirror You never know nothing stays the same
Living in a different world Leaking sadness It’s shown on your face
Cloudcastle Towering feelings bustle In the street lamps Cloudcastle All’s up in the air…
Just hanging around in a Friday morning haze I was tryin’ to forget about you morning face Somebody tell me if I’m doin’ right I just wanna tell her everyday’s so bright
Living in a different world Finding love itself standing alone
Round round round, going around, and Round and round and nothing ever happens
You’ve led yourself to Heartache Close With a heart of stone, with nothing to do I know where the story goes Do you still believe in what no one can prove?
I’ve seen you turned down I know that is true Clouds move in inch by inch What will you do? You better notice there’s more than we knew It’s a cover not a book, untrue Yeah yeah yeah
Living on a time bomb yeah They say there’s no danger Till found all’s too late Living on a time bomb yeah They say there’s no danger Till we go to our fate
I’ve seen you tramp down I know that is true Paper won’t winkle The truth out of nukes You better notice there’s more than we knew It’a cover not a book, untrue Yeah yeah yeah
You better notice What is missing
Open up your eyes again Have a close look At what they ‘re doing Let us prick each and every bubble Otherwise oh otherwise
