在迴廊的邊緣望著你
英國歌手Sheila Nicholls的"Falling For You"算是"High Fidelity"(《失戀排行榜》)原聲帶中唯一的抒情歌曲。瀰漫淡淡哀傷的歌詞,點出愛情課題中難以捉摸的那一面。
主角的思念眷戀,如同紐約古根漢博物館的蜿蜒迴廊,繞來繞去,似乎走不到盡頭。儘管打定主意離去,卻又放不下,仍舊期待著一絲希望。
"Falling For You"
by Sheila Nicholls
Falling for you
Did you ever see me,
Watching from periphery?
I was playing another game
I hoped you catch on all the same.
Falling from view
Did you ever touch me,
Floating through your potpourri?
I thought I felt your fingers once
After waiting all these months
But I was wrong, so wrong
That was just another song you wrote, for another girl
And I hoped the day could be
When you'd write a song for me
But it never came,
I thank you all the same,
But I'll go now, so you won't know how much I've
Fallen for you,
Pointless trying to be a man
Boy, you don't know if you can
I thought I knew you well enough
But your walls are still too tough
But I was wrong, so wrong
That was just another song you wrote, for another girl
And I hoped the day could be
When you'd write a song for me
But it never came,
I thank you all the same,
But I'll go now, so you won't know how much I
Thought about you all the time,
Walking round, the Guggenheim.
Like a rhyme, in my mind,
There you are, in my car,
But we don't drive very far.
To the beach, out of reach
Next to me... my fantasy
Falling for you
Did you ever see me,
Watching from periphery?
I was playing another game
I hoped you catch on all the same.
