Learning to Crawl

• なんとなく、衝動的に聞き返したくなり、衝動買い。やっぱり、クリッシー・ハインドは格好いいなあ。本当にツボを押さえたというか、間の取り方を心得ているというか、なんというか。でも、”STOP YOUR SOBBING”って、もう完全にモータウンですね。ドラムのドンタタドンタタとか。今さらながら、今聞くから、やっと気がついた。

STOP YOUR SOBBING

IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO STOP ALL OF YOUR SOBBING
YES IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO STOP ALL OF YOUR SOBBING OH OH OH
THERE'S ONE THING YOU GOTTA DO
TO MAKE ME STILL WANT YOU
GOTTA STOP SOBBING NOW
YEAH YEAH STOP IT STOP IT

IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LAUGH INSTEAD OF CRYING
YES IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO LAUGH SO KEEP ON TRYING OH OH OH
THERE'S ONE THING YOU GOTTA DO
TO MAKE ME STILL WANT YOU
GOTTA STOP SOBBING NOW
YEAH YEAH STOP IT STOP IT

EACH LITTLE TEAR THAT FALLS FROM YOUR EYES
MAKES, MAKES ME WANT
TO TAKE YOU IN MY ARMS AND TELL YOU
TO STOP ALL YOUR SOBBING

THERE'S ONE THING YOU GOTTA DO
TO MAKE ME STILL WANT YOU
AND THERE'S ONE THING YOU GOTTA KNOW
TO MAKE ME WANT YOU SO
GOTTA STOP SOBBING NOW
YEAH YEAH STOP IT STOP IT

やっぱり、こういうのが最高ですよ。

KID

KID WHAT CHANGED YOUR MOOD
YOU'VE GONE ALL SAD SO I FEEL SAD TOO
I THINK I KNOW SOME THINGS WE NEVER OUTGROW
YOU THINK IT'S WRONG
I CAN TELL YOU DO
HOW CAN I EXPLAIN
WHEN YOU DON'T WANT ME TO

KID MY ONLY KID
YOU LOOK SO SMALL YOU'VE GONE SO QUIET
I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT
I WON'T DENY IT
BUT YOU FORGIVE THOUGH YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
YOU'VE TURNED YOUR HEAD
YOU'VE DROPPED MY HAND

ALL MY SORROW, ALL MY BLUES
ALL MY SORROW

SHUT THE LIGHT, GO AWAY
FULL OF GRACE, YOU COVER YOUR FACE

KID GRACIOUS KID
YOUR EYES ARE BLUE BUT YOU WON'T CRY
I KNOW ANGRY TEARS ARE TOO DEAR
YOU WON'T LET THEM GO

こんな単純な歌詞が、生き生きと生命力を持って伝わってくる。元気出てくるなあ。
