こういう感傷的で直接的な歌詞は珍しいと思う。
(初期の代表曲が、It's the end of the world, I feel fine!
『世界の終わりだ、気分がいいな!』だったりする。)
Everybody Hurtsの主人公はもしかしたら、この世界など
壊れてしまえばいいとおもっていたのかもしれません。
そして、地震直前にも世界など終わってしまえばいいと願っていて、
いま、呆然としている人もいるのかもしれません。
Well, I'm rumblin' in this JCB.
I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant sitting beside me.
And the engine rattles my bum like berserk
While we're singin' , 'Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work!'
My dad's probably had a bloody hard day
But he's been good fun and bubblin' and jokin' away
And the procession of cars stuck behind
are gettin' all impatient and angry, but we dont mind.
And we're holdin' up the bypass
Me and my dad havin' a top laugh
I'm sittin' on the toolbox
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school
And we pull over to let cars past
And pull off again, speedin' by the summer green grass
And we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger
Like zoids, or transformers, or maybe even bigger
And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets
And I'll tell all my mates that my dad's B.A. Baracus
Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nunchuckas
And we're holdin' up the bypass
Me and my dad havin' a top laugh
I'm sittin' on the toolbox
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school
I Said
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round
And we're holdin' up the bypass
Me and my dad havin' a top laugh
I'm sittin' on the toolbox
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school
I said
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games that i was playing.
Trying to make the best of my time.
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?
