Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi(高傳真的蔚藍憂鬱)

暗房樂團( Camera Obscura ) Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi(高傳真的蔚藍憂鬱)歌詞
1.Happy New Year

Did the ironing in a cowboy hat
Felt as fresh as the paint in this new flat
I will never tell you what to do
Have ambition simply to see things through

Did you know I could be a lot of fun
I'm aware that friendship can die young
As the glow from the street light bled
Down the Langlands Road we set off the best of friends

I know where I stand
I don't need you to hold my hand

Well, I've tried to get along with you
I have asked myself “What are we gonna do?”
I'm coming round to take a stand
Going to put us together with glue or an elastic band

I know where I stand
I don't need you to hold my hand

I am softer than my face would suggest
At times like these I'm at my lowest ebb
Now I can confide in you
If I cry to set the mood oh please could you cry too

Happy New Year
You are my only vice
Happy New Year
What if we compromised?
Happy New Year
I am open

Do you have to wear a frown like that?
You could have hit me with a baseball bat

Do you want to? (Yes I do)
Do you have to? (So do you)
Do you want to? (So do you)


2.Eighties Fan

You know it really wont surprise me
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
The way you look
The way you look is fine

So often colour coordinated
your sister she's an Eighties fan
But that's alright
Have I told you so is mine

You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do

Drinking vodka on the fly
Your mother has a watchful eye
So look out kid
She's onto you this time

Run away to a bed and breakfast
Console yourself with the Reader's Digest
Ringing the Yellow Pages all alone

You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
No they never do

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
About no one else


3.Houseboat

Took a trip on a houseboat
It was fun, you and me
I know you're really in love with him
Are you up to your knees?

Oh I'm always in decline
Always changing my lines
Always changing my mind
To be a friend is fine

I won't go sinking this houseboat
It's so hard to believe
He made you smile so easy
So make a smile for me

Will I always be denied
I thought about it last night
Could we baby, honey try
To put it right this time?

Oh how I've wanted to change
Let you take me home, let you rearrange
To find opportunity you should give yourself to me
You should give yourself to me

Oh how I've wanted to change
Let you take me home, let you rearrange
To find opportunity you should give yourself to me
You should give yourself to me


4.Shine Like A New Pin

Girl with a thick skin made you shine like a new pin
Why smother urges, which belong under dresses?
Do you wish that you could only start again,
learn to live and be pedestrian?
If all your wishes in the world come true
you'd be as good as new

What can I say that will make them jump to my defence?
I value honesty, I could never pretend
Crest fallen boys are boring
I don't know which way I'm going anymore
I can't be sure

Girl with a thick skin made you shine


5.Pen And Notebook

You saved for a bass guitar
You knew you'd made a mistake when you first saw Marr
With your pen and notebook you've blown me away
It's the smallest words we cannot say

Your favourite colour is that of red wine
Which brings me around to your favourite pastime
With your pen and notebook you've blown me away
And I won't be blamed for not feeling the same

Are the stars out tonight
from the Southside oh the prettiest side

Will you stumble or fall tonight
Are you watching wrapped up cosy and tight

We're not the same
We're not the same
We're not the same


6.Swimming Pool

My head's been lying dormant like a sleepy little mouse
What I have inside me it's enough to fill a house
Don't get maudlin on me cause I'm not fit for it
I'd make you another offer will it do the trick

All my days inactive will be justified
Awaken from a slumber to a rollercoaster ride

Don't get wise to everyone and everything
Leave a little room for some naiveté

To say that we will never part
And you will always have my heart
Is something that I can't deny
And you must never ever try
To go and lead a separate life
It's something I will never do, without you

Don't get wise to everyone and everything
Leave a little room for some naiveté

To say that we will never part
And you will always have my heart
Is something that I can't deny
And you must never ever try
To go and lead a separate life
Is something I will never do, without you

Don't get wise to everyone and everything
Leave a little room for some naiveté

Swimming in a pool of all clear
Swimming in a pool of all clear


7.Anti Western

Sure to be a loner, I hear you're not the loving kind
Come on darling, I've something in mind

You're too good looking I'm always gonna put up a fight
Give in baby, be mine tonight

You talk about Lee but your words are untrue
Saying that Nancy's got nothing on you
You listen to rubbish I really despise
and tell me that sand is just grit in your eyes

Moved around honey, to stay here now would feel just fine
I'm taking your boots off, I'll keep them with mine

I'm coming around 'cause I know they say we only live twice
Well this is the first life, a need to entice

You talk about Lee but your words are untrue
Saying that Nancy's got nothing on you
You listen to rubbish I really despise
and tell me that sand is just grit in your eyes

(chorus)


8.Let's Go Bowling

I don't believe in anything so you may as well forget about me
It's time you took it upon yourself to go join the other team
Forget about me
Anyway, I got myself some bowling shoes
an' they are all that I can see
With all my might I scored a strike
My friend you wouldn't believe
My teenage years were wasted all on me

On Saturday I watched a film
It was black and white with Clark Gable in
I've seen that film one hundred times or more
How am I going to tell my friends
I won't be coming out with them no more?

Don't you know that I feel sad?
You only know how to get mad


9.I Don't Do Crowds

I'd like to have company during thunderstorms
I'd like you to fall for me but it would soon turn lousy and
wrong
I meant what I said, all I want is to be one of the best

Been getting some extra help from a special band
Oh yeah they've been helping us out
and we're thankful they're lending a hand
Here is my request: play the ones that we all know best

I don't do crowds, everyone put it down to rudeness
I laughed out loud, could they all see that it was madness?
Please come to save me from myself again,
to shield me to disguise that my heart has a secret
And this will make you sigh, and me cry

Oh will there be dancing in the hall tonight?
Cause if there is dancing I won't lack fight
It seems I'm less afraid of life itself than of what you see

You turned the heads of every boy and girl alike
Would you have them all if there were enough hours in the night?
You took care of your skin,
sure did help but it didn't solve everything

I don't do crowds, everyone put it down to rudeness
I laughed out loud, could they all see that it was sadness?
Please come to save me from myself again,
to shield me to disguise that my heart has a secret
And this will make you sigh, and me cry

I find it funny that you never even knew
All the times when I stole a look from you
Oh what's in my mind
Oh they're gonna put me away this time


10.The Sun On His Back

He's got the sun on his back
Where there are freckles I would die for
Is he a family man?
If I had the chance I would show him all I am

I like the sound of his voice
I did my very best to impress him
Always my first choice
and I'm not ashamed to admit I've been uncool
I've looked a fool

Do you feel lucky tonight (go out it's alright)
Do you feel lucky tonight (go out it's alright)
And I will wear a badge to show my delight


11.Double Feature

Close comes the winter
Summer is no longer
And things, they seem much bleaker
We'll see a Catherine Deneuve double feature
And our lives will fade as in darkness we will bathe

And our lives will fade as in darkness we will bathe
(Double feature, you will survive
Last forever so rest your eyes
Play with words when we cannot sing
This double feature means everything)


12.Arrangements of shape and space

(Instrumental)
