Paula Cole - Bethlehem (Live)

Pulling on the apron strings looking up

Standing on the chair to be grown up
I feel so little, I need my pillow
I hate time I hate the clock
I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a rock

Sunday's pancakes, Miss mary mack
Color polaroids show my heart attack
In my second hand pants and dusty shoes
The day that the playground laughed at my shoes

Its my birthday next week and what I want please
Is to turn on the heat so the fish wont freeze
The fish in the tank froze and died last week
Oh I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a leaf

[Chorus:]
Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem

Now I'm only 16 and I think I have an ulcer
I'm hiding my sex behind a dirty sweatshirt
I've lost 5 pounds these past few days
Trying to be class president and get straight a's
Well who gives a shit about that anyway
I just wanna be a dog or a lump of clay

[Chorus:]
Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem

Still, I'm tired of standing still
I'm tired of living still
Everyday I dream of leaving

Everyone's talking about Becky's bust
The boys on the basketball just fuck 
The same ten girls who don't know who they are 
They're looking for some comfort in the back of a car 
The six pack of beer, the locker room jeers
I don't wanna be me I don't wanna be here

[Chorus:]
Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem

Red brick school house
Dead end dirt road, daffodils
No star above my bethlehem
I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a rock
I don't wanna be me, I don't wanna here in bethlehem

재수를 할 때 쯔음이었던 것 같은데, 요런 스타일의 음악을 왕창 다운 받아서 몇개 듣는 것만 들었다.

당시의 나는 아이팟 클래식 120GB라는 요상한 아이템을 갖고 있었거든...

들을 때마다 짠하면서, 아름다우면서, 묘한 향수를 부르는 이 음악.

가사가 알고보면 슬프다고 하는데, 이국의 나에게 크게는 와닿지 않지만.

이 영상 자체는 참 좋다...
