《’73: It Could Have Been Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] '73: It Could Have Been Paradise (73：那可能是天堂) - The Magnetic Fields (磁场)

[00:00:02] Written by：Stephin Merritt

[00:00:07] We lived in Paia

[00:00:11] Hippie central I could hop to the beach

[00:00:16] Sometimes we would hitchhike

[00:00:19] Miles to school school being a figure of speech

[00:00:24] Where we sang kahuli aku kahuli mai

[00:00:33] We lived on a zendo

[00:00:35] In the forest silence for days on end

[00:00:41] Caught up on my reading

[00:00:44] Huckleberry Finn was my only friend

[00:00:49] It could have been paradise

[00:00:53] But for the horrible bugs

[00:00:57] I could have gone to a real school

[00:01:01] But for the murderous thugs

[00:01:06] In the forest of paradise

[00:01:10] We gathered magic mushrooms

[00:01:14] But mostly I sat around

[00:01:18] In rooms as quiet as tombs

[00:01:23] It was heaven

[00:01:27] My mother took up with

[00:01:30] A trumpeter red bearded pork pie hat

[00:01:36] Found a lyric of mine

[00:01:39] He took it home and set music to that

[00:01:44] To impress my mother

[00:01:47] He stole my song better back off mister

[00:01:52] Fast forward two decades

[00:01:55] Same thing happened but with Shakespeare's sister

[00:02:01] Why should it be paradise

[00:02:04] That's just a place people go

[00:02:09] It was home for a little while

[00:02:13] But you can give me the snow

[00:02:18] Give me the snow

[00:02:22] My friend shell was named for

[00:02:25] A shell on the beach she spoke pidgin English

[00:02:30] Everyday I swam out

[00:02:33] Onto the reef catching exotic fish

[00:02:38] It could have been paradise

[00:02:42] With one good reason to stay

[00:02:47] If it had been paradise

[00:02:50] Guess we'd still be there today

[00:02:55] Singing away
