世界上最好的饮料就是，当人已是恶语在喉时，他不是一吐为快，而是吞咽下去，这样它就不会伤及自己。– 穆罕默德

真巧，昨晚广播传来这段很熟悉的旋律，谢谢，还有人记得他们–Belle & Sebastian，这个曾在90年代独立乐界颇有影响的苏格兰乐队。

《Sleep The Clock Around》，乍一听，开头渐进式的合成器声音让人以为是电子乐，当Stevie清洌的吉他传来时，看法随之改变，还有小喇叭、木琴、风琴、口哨、口琴… …，轻快的音律美到曾经让我眩晕，一如B&S一向的作风：清新自诩，独立不孤立，抒情乖巧但绝非平庸，尤其是主唱Stuart温柔的嗓子，梦幻中涂着些忧郁，女声Monica Queen完美的配合甚是纯情。

高中时代就很迷这首歌，简单欢快的编曲，如丝般熟悉的声音划过耳际，以前的日子，安静，轻松，脆弱，醉人… …
试听：Sleep The Clock Around

英文歌词：

And the moment will come when composure returns
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way
And for once in your life you have nothing to say
And could this be the time when somebody will come
To say, “Look at yourself, you’re not much use to anyone”

Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill
Read the letter you got from the memory girl
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that
And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag
Of the United States of Calamity, hey!
After all that you’ve done boy, I know you’re going to pay

In the morning you come to the ladies salon
To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne
But the people are living far away from the place
Where you wanted to help, it’s a bit of a waste
And the puzzle will last till somebody will say
“There’s a lot to be done while your head is still young”
If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind
Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine

Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
Then you go to the place where you’ve finally found
You can look at yourself sleep the clock around
