[滬江英樂之聲] 滴答：Cake，簡單小品，透明生活~~
像Primus和Barenaked Ladies他們一樣，Cake也總是小心地把握搖滾和搞笑之間的平衡。其頑皮，會(huì)讓人笑出眼淚的歌詞和偶爾設(shè)計(jì)夸張出眾的CD封面(如代表著成熟風(fēng)格的《I Will Survive》)使的他們音樂風(fēng)格常常接近于Dr. Demento的曲風(fēng)。但是，相比你熟悉的那種新奇曲調(diào)，它的動(dòng)人而又離奇的音樂又多了一些真實(shí)的東西。
Cake - Wheels
In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes with the freighters towering over me
I can hear the jets flying overhead making lines across the darkening sky
And when the sun is going down I can take a taxi into town
And the waiter at the restaurant sets a table just for one
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round and round
So I had a plane to take me to a place so far away from you
Eventually we began to see that we could be completely free
And I could get away from you and you could get away from me
And we could live each separately in our city in the sun
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round and round
In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosphorus
Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians
While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round and round
Spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
I don't know
Why you say you are not in love with me?
Cake - Dime
In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I am determined not to be dented
By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
