歌手簡介
hut旗下的著名低調樂隊auteurs的靈魂及前衛人物luke haines與兩個畢業於戲劇學院的年輕人sarah和john組建了這支玩票式樂隊:black box recorder。 從auteurs最近的那張惡毒的專輯“after murder park”的黑色噪音里掙脫的luke,在音樂表層上不知不覺地陷入一種微妙、細膩、蜜糖般沉著文靜的情趣中去,而更多的原因在於"兩個臨時"演員“——john唯美而保守的和諧吉他點弦與sarah沉悶疲倦、冷靜得有些駭人並固襲默守的嗓音所賦予的特性,這亦是這張唱片卒聽似是源自4ad的原因——標準英式的對於沉著從容而易使人心迷神亂的情節的釀造,厭世並避世的幽雅的童話故事及絕望瘋癲的金斯勃格與不安的葉芝的融合體。
歌詞
Put on your make-up
Apply it with care
Use your imagination
We can go anywhere
We'll have an adventure
I'm bored with just love
A fairy tale with a sting in the tail
Tonight we'll draw blood
From Blackpool tower to Brighton pier
Turn the lights out we know there's no-one here
Goodbye
Goodnight
The candle is burning
So the modern butterfly
Can plant out a night-life
It's purely desire
We might meet some old friends
We might push our luck
Hot on the heels of something
Hot on the heels of not much
From Severn bridge to Southend-on-Sea
Turn the lights out before you leave, goodnight
Goodbye
Goodnight
It's been a good night
It's just a goodnight kiss
The night's nearly over
Get a taxi at five
I'll cradle your head in my hands
Check that you're still alive
Golden mile to Morecambe bay
Turn the lights out as there's nothing left to say
Goodbye
Goodnight
From Dungeness to the Isle of White
Would the last one to leave turn out the light
Goodbye
Goodnight
It's just a good night
It's been a good night
It's just a goodnight kiss
