She said she trained to be a dancer, but she had a proper job by day
Charlie Chaplin knew her father, before he passed away
She asked could I help her with a problem, she doesn't get out much no more
"I'm not looking for a lover, no, no, no, I wanna dance that's all"
I wanna dance that's all, I wanna dance that's all, I wanna dance that's all

And all around the world are people singing "Hallelujah"
And every man in town wants to, do it to you
With your back up against the cigarette machine
Oh, it's bad for your health if you know what I mean, oh yeah, oh yeah
And the guys at the front have seen your act one million times before
And nobody does it quite the same, so they're, sitting down for more
But you're making them feel so useless and dumb
'Cos they've seen it all and they still can't come
Oh, let me tell you, it's a dirty world
Oh, it's a dirty world, it's a dirty world, it's a dirty world
It's a dirty world

And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
With the period features and original dust and the china everywhere
And you dance 'til the place goes up in flames, and you lay down
In the charred remains, that's where I come in
With my second-hand excuse for technique, yeah
Technique, yeah, well, ain't that a treat, yeah?

And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
You see, I always wanted to be a dancer, but I just could not get it right
And it got me down at parties, so I used to sit and drink all night

Now I see it's not so hard, all I needed, was a partner
Someone even dirtier than me
And I'm so glad I found you, yeah, I'm, so glad I found~ you!

Oh, it's a dirty world, it's a dirty world, it's a, dirty world

It's a dirty world, it's a dirty world
It's a dirty world, it's a dirty world
It's a dirty world, it's a dirty world
It's a dirty world, it's a dirty world

And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"
And everybody in the house says "whoah"
And everybody in the house says "yeah!"

齷齪的世界

她說她被訓練成為一個舞者 但她白天卻有份「正常」的職業
查理‧卓別林逝世之前 還認識她老爸
她問我能不能幫個忙 搞不清楚狀況
「我不是想找個情人 不是的 我只是想要跳舞」
我只是想跳舞 我只是想跳舞 我只是想跳舞

而全世界的人都在唱「哈雷路亞」
鎮上每個男人 都想對妳幹那檔事
奉勸妳 還是把菸戒了吧
喔 那對健康不好 要是妳懂我在說什麼的話 是吧 是吧
前面那群小夥子已經看妳這樣百萬次
沒有人像妳一樣 所以他們 才老坐著不行動
但妳讓他們覺得自己沒用又愚蠢
因為他們總是看著一切 卻仍無動作
喔 讓我告訴妳 這是個齷齪的世界
喔 這是個齷齪的世界 這是個齷齪的世界 這是個齷齪的世界
這是個齷齪的世界

屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
現階段的特徵跟原有的垃圾 以及到處可見的瓷器
妳可以跳舞跳到這地方開始著火 跳到妳倒下為止
在焦黑的殘骸中 那個我所來自的地方
和我慣用的二手藉口 耶
這是種手段 沒錯 嗯 這樣不是挺好玩的嗎

屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
妳知道的嘛 我一直想當個舞者 但我就是辦不到
在派對上我才感到失落 所以我習慣坐下來喝整夜的酒

現在我知道其實這並不難 我只需要 一個搭檔
一個比我更齷齪的搭檔
而我真高興 遇到妳 是的 我 真高興我遇到了~ 妳

喔 這是個齷齪的世界 這是個齷齪的世界 這是個 齷齪的世界

這是個齷齪的世界 這是個齷齪的世界
這是個齷齪的世界 這是個齷齪的世界
這是個齷齪的世界 這是個齷齪的世界
這是個齷齪的世界 這是個齷齪的世界

屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧
屋裡每個人都叫「嗚哇」吧
屋裡每個人都說「沒錯」吧

年底似乎 Suede 要來,而 Pulp 也不無可能?天哪,不管是哪一團,負債也要去!今年錯過 Travis 已經非常扼腕,更讓我發狂的 Suede 或 Pulp 說啥都不能缺席!

這首〈It's a Dirty World〉其實早在 1997 年至 1998 年間就已錄製完成,但遲至 2006 才與經典專輯《This Is Hardcore》精裝再版發行作為 bonus 一同曝光。當時一聽到這首歌,就對編曲相當喜歡。

今年年初,由於工作上遇到一些不如意的事,深深感到自己的個性在社會上實在難以磨合,某次偶然再度聽見這首〈It's a Dirty World〉,不自覺地將 mp3 音量轉大,在捷運站等車時隨著音樂微微擺動身體,彷彿建立起自己的小小國度,活在自己某種逃避現實、憤世嫉俗的態度之中。

最近,又重回這首歌的懷抱,搭著 Marilyn Manson 的〈The Fight Song〉及四分衛的〈混亂戰場〉,極具「激勵」效果。也許都只是負面情緒的渲染與自我逃避,但或許這也是一種繼續支持自己某種內在僅有的方式,以免不知何時靈魂崩潰。

我知道,跟很多人比,我實在很幸福;甚至,我的家庭背景,根本就像我的原罪一樣,在這麼幸福的家庭中長大,有什麼不堪跟無奈好跟人家拿來說嘴?是吧?

妳可以繼續用妳的標準衡量我,沒有關係。我本來就很清楚,人與人之間從來就不可能真的平等,而偏偏又喜歡用自己的價值觀跟標準去評斷別人,要別人都跟自己一樣。就是這麼回事,對吧?

我還能說什麼呢。還是繼續閉上我的嘴,聽歌。懂自己的,向來只有音樂,人人如此。
