Jack - No North Left

With your looks
and my voice
it's not as if
we have a choice

and so we find ourselves here
on the Coast
on the Border

of this
my most prolific period

with no North left to run
is this all that it comes down to?

In league with the sky
and the river guide
and as the river dies
we're hypnotized
by our own lives

We made our way
through rented rooms
forever planning
our next move

(and through it all
I was down here with you
with no North left to run
is this all that it comes down to?)

From beaches and arcades
a Courtyard in Paris
telephoning satellites
Guided by the next life

Sailors on Horseback
as lost as the night sky
A suicide
In Love
with
Life

(and through it all
I was down here with you
with no North left to run
is this all that it comes down to?)

We jacked off to Constellations
from the roofs of New York buildings
sang along with radio waves
borne on Cacti winds
from down Mexico way

I watched as we kissed
plotting maps of breath and mist
disobeying orders
and our reason for being

Sending our lives
down the powerlines
through fifties Britain
up and into
the Scottsh isles

On and on
into the oblivion
of our Love


長達10分鐘 Jack 2002年解散後的最後一張專輯The End Of The Way It's Always Been的最後一首歌No North Left


工業風的曲調 旋律優美 歌詞也是如此傷人

記得這張專輯剛入手時並不是特別欣賞

然後一段時間下來也陸續聽了幾次(汽車上當背景或滑PM時不小心選中他...)

卻越來越喜歡上 幾乎每首歌都很有味道

也把歌詞本拿出來好好讀了一下 (是說歌詞排板到底是怎麼回事 詭異字母大小寫 還有排板錯的)


可惜這只短短在90年末期短暫發光的團體 現在只能緬懷
