OTM #9.2 - Advert - blur


來一點快版搖滾。

繼《Tender》另一首令我loop了好幾次的歌,當然跟歌名有關——職業病啦。

《Advert》的歌就是說廣告這事情其實有多無謂,有多跟我們的生活格格不入,可是我們又的確需要。可憐的是,我們連「You need a holiday, somewhere in the sun」都要廣告來提醒,在這一個來去匆匆、個個都是大忙人、資訊又爆炸的年代,叫我們出去見見太陽可說是有點諷刺,你去呀如果你出到個office嘅話!

幽默的是,這是一個在underground見到的廣告。天殺的。

又或者,這是一個廣告人的自白。

(Food processors are great!)
It's six o'clock on the dot and I'm half way home
I feel foul mouthed as I stand and wait for the underground
And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
I need something to remind me that there's something else

You need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long you lose your appetite
A nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains

I need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14, 15, 16

(You can have it on the rates
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a one week only special offer.)

You need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Go on!
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
