《Play For Today》歌词

[00:00:00] Play For Today (为了今天) - Belle and Sebastian (贝尔与塞贝斯蒂安)

[00:00:30] Stuart：I'm in a play written today about a boy

[00:00:36] Who hides in attics when the sun is up

[00:00:40] Everyone is at work

[00:00:45] What will I do

[00:00:47] Where will I go

[00:00:49] Show me the way

[00:00:52] The truth the anger show me rules of thumb

[00:00:56] Show the way to grow old

[00:01:01] Love is a guide

[00:01:03] The endless river of the soul

[00:01:08] But we are mean

[00:01:11] The dried up riverbeds of rock and stone

[00:01:16] Lust is my friend

[00:01:18] She comes to me when I am tired

[00:01:24] Life is a rope death is a myth

[00:01:27] Love is a fraud it's misunderstood

[00:01:31] Work is a sentence family's a drag

[00:01:35] This house is a trap

[00:01:46] Dee Dee：I'm in a play written today about a girl

[00:02:01] She gets on perfectly with young and old

[00:02:05] Everybody loves her

[00:02:10] What would she wear the cut of her hair

[00:02:13] The way that she slides

[00:02:17] Gracefully into the working week

[00:02:20] She hides her baggage inside

[00:02:25] She's got a friend

[00:02:28] An ugly monster that will eat your face

[00:02:32] She hides her crime

[00:02:35] A hefty catalogue of wasted time

[00:02:40] She's got a friend

[00:02:43] A lonely monster that will prey on you

[00:02:48] Life is a secret death is a myth

[00:02:52] Love is a fraud it's misunderstood

[00:02:56] Work is a sentence family's a drag

[00:02:59] This house is a trap

[00:03:03] Life is a secret death is a myth

[00:03:07] Love is a fraud it's misunderstood

[00:03:11] Work is a sentence family's a drag

[00:03:15] This house is a trap

[00:03:46] Stuart：I'm in a play written today about a boy

[00:03:56] Tired and melancholy takes the weight

[00:04:00] Takes the weight of the world

[00:04:04] Dee Dee：I walked alone loving a song

[00:04:08] Walking the earth

[00:04:11] The worn-out sister who is twenty-three

[00:04:15] Dried and wrinkled alone

[00:04:20] I'll give you a month

[00:04:23] To see past shadows in your sacred night

[00:04:28] I'll give you a week

[00:04:30] To look Medusa in the eye

[00:04:35] I'll give you a month

[00:04:38] To notice heaven in the sight of stage

[00:04:59] Dee Dee：You're king inside your head

[00:05:09] You're sitting on the throne of sand

[00:05:17] You're pushing back the tide

[00:05:21] Stuart：So lift the mountain up

[00:05:32] So tie the writer's ribbons down

[00:05:40] Assemble all your troops

[00:05:44] Both：We go to war with metaphors

[00:05:55] And suddenly see sense

[00:05:59] And suddenly see sense

[00:06:03] And when you do I'll have the higher ground

[00:06:07] I'll have the higher ground

[00:06:11] You're not the king of me

[00:06:19] Stuart：I'll take my chance and play for tyranny

[00:06:26] I build the sets I light the scene

[00:06:34] We're prettier when we are on the screen

[00:06:38] Both：I build the sets I light the scene

[00:06:49] We're braver when we're on the sacred screen

[00:06:57] The backstage of your life

[00:07:04] Is filled with props and lines you should have sung

[00:07:12] The backstage of your life

[00:07:20] Is filled with echoes of the ones you love
