【男孩別哭】She’s Got A Way

【男孩別哭】She’s Got A Way

「She smiles and the questions disappear」
(她笑了,疑問也就跟著煙消雲散了。)
「She cries and only God knows why she's here」
(她落淚,只有上天知道是怎麼一回事。)


電影「男孩不哭」,
是我和女孩一起前往戲院看的第一部電影,
女孩唸的和「社會工作」有些關聯。
所以,我應邀前往。
那天午后下著大雨,是那種夏日午后的雷陣雨。
看完電影之後的心情,
大概無法學習「鄭怡」在歌曲「心情」裡頭那樣:
「當結局出現喜劇,外面在下雨可是我心中有太陽。」
畢竟,「Brandon」(Hilary Swank)是慘死於不明究理的暴力之下。
那種暴力與死亡交錯的震撼,
是我第一次從大螢幕上頭強烈的感受到。
至於電影探討的,我只記得當初寫下的筆記:「Love Unlimited。」
(愛無界線、愛永無止盡、愛…)
多年之後,也許可以慢慢理出更清晰、更明瞭的頭緒出來?…


「男孩別哭」電影原聲帶,事隔幾年之後,
趁著「綠標買一送一」的活動而購置。
一開始的購買衝動當然是為了主題歌曲:
「Bluest Eyes in Texas」(德克薩斯最憂鬱的眼)。
這首唱得教聽者柔腸寸斷的歌曲,是我個人首選的推薦!
不過,曲目三:「She’s Got A Way」(她已有主意),
卻是筆者最鍾愛的歌曲!
喜愛程度有著後來凌駕超越「Bluest Eyes in Texas」之勢。


「『暴力』究竟是不是人類與生俱來的『劣根性』呢?」

還是聽歌吧~…



The Smithereens
She's Got a Way

My girl, she's extraordinary
My girl, she's different from the rest
She is truth combined with fiction
A lovely contradiction
But you'll only see the part of her she wants you to see

Yes, you'd understand if you knew her like I do
I just do what I can to keep up on her points of view
And laugh to myself when it's over my head
Yes, she's got a way all her own

Sometimes she baffles and confounds me
I'm fine when she wraps her arms around me
When I finally figured out I'll never figure her out
That's when I begin to understand just what she's all about

Yes, you'd understand if you knew her like I do
I just do what I can to keep up on her points of view
And laugh to myself when it's over my head
Yes, she's got a way all her own

She smiles and the questions disappear
She cries and only God knows why she's here

Yes, you'd understand if you knew her like I do
I just do what I can to keep up on her points of view
And laugh to myself when it's over my head
'cause she's got a way all her own

Yes, she's got a way all her own
She's got a way all her own
