We run like a river

（By Slowdive）

　　　這首是瞪鞋派的代表作之一，在 80末 90初的英國的一種
　音樂風格－Shoegazing，直譯為「瞪鞋」風潮，特色為嗡嗡作
　響的吉他、噪音音牆、大量使用的效果器，呢喃的主唱…為什
　麼會叫做Shoegazing呢？因為這類樂手在表演時，大多站得直
　直的，沒有什麼舞台動作，就一直瞪著舞台地板看，好像在盯
　著自己的鞋子，所以這些表演者就被稱為Shoegazer。

　　　個人很喜歡這種音樂，因為多半都是緩慢歌聲、優美旋律
　的情歌，這種有音牆的音樂，通常好像被要把我們帶到海中、
　夜晚的天空，甚至是外太空漂浮了。可惜在 90 年代初就因為
　Brit-pop的掘起而幾乎被掃蕩得不復存了。

　Listen close, and don't be stoned
　I'll be here in the morning
　'Cause I'm just floating
　Your cigarette still burns
　Your messed-up world will thrill me
　Alison, I'm lost
　Alison, I said we're sinking
　There's nothing here but that's okay
　Outside your room, your only sister's spinning
　But she lies, tells me she's just fine
　I guess she's out there somewhere
　And the sailors they strike poses
　TV covered walls, and so slowly
　With your talking and your pills
　Your messed-up life still thrills me
　Alison, I'm lost
　Alison, I'll drink your wine
　I wear your clothes, when we're both high
　Alison, I said we're sinking
　But you laugh and tells me it's just fine
　I guess she's out there somewhere
