Colours Run

這個團的歌詞真的寫的很棒呢,雖然他們的第一張專輯叫做"Cynical Wonderland",所以敘事者總是有點憤世嫉俗、用懷疑的角度看事情;很神奇地又會為他的偏激動容。

他們的歌聽起來有Coldplay加上Radiohead加上Travis的感覺,清新但有著些許的憂傷。

"Tethers"

Words by Tim Cameron, Music by Colours Run
There are stars in her hair
She is sad and she is fair
And I feel her filling up my future
We will try, try our best
Not to end up like the rest
If she cries, I will soothe her

But what's the use?

When my kids disown me
And when she has outgrown me
At last I'll see
There can be no victory
You and I forever
Tangled in our tethers

Pile on the years
She is hungry, she is fierce
And our love is the yoke around her shoulders
And this house that we found
Has become our battleground
As we dine on our scissors and stones

When our faith deserts us
And when our hope just hurts us
At last we'll see
There can be no victory
You and I forever tangled in our tethers
Choking on the end of the line

Won't anybody answer?

When your kids disown you
And when she has dethroned you
Then come with me
For a glass of sympathy
All of us together, tangled in our tethers
Crying, I still love her
Though I'm quite sick of her
And this is all I knew I'd ever get
From her
"The Traveller"

Words by Tim Cameron, Music by Colours Run
Drag these remains
Through funereal rains
Heavy eyed as we stumble from the club
The kids in the car
They are brighter than stars
And it's clear they are nearly in love

Going where, I don't know
Try to bask in their glow
But my hands shake from the cold

So I laugh and I smoke
As they share some secret joke
And I feel a hundred years old

Why don't we stop
Cos I want to get off
Every mile we drive takes me further from home
I travel alone

Back to the world
With the things I have earned
In exchange for freedom to run
At the crest of the hill
I surrendered to the thrill
Now I'm caught in the cage of acceleration

Stop
Cos I want to give up
Every mile I fall takes me further from home
I travel alone
