Monday Morning 5:19

Rialto Monday Morning 5:19



一首非常有畫面的歌，這首歌的年代還沒有手機

所以非常非常寫實(笑)



雖然沒有真正寫明時間，不過故事大概是

晚上八點男孩子從女朋友家離開

因為女朋友隔天早上九點要上班，想待在家裡不想出去


男生只好自己回家，洗個澡就在電視前發呆

看見電視上演出了女孩子喜歡的影集


直到隔天早上5:19

男孩子還在想對方到底去了哪裡

為什麼每次打電話去都只能聽到答錄機??

現在已經快要六點了

實在不想再試一次

如果對方再不接電話，那兩人的關係就要走到盡頭了


一開始以為對方只是出去買包菸、或是牛奶還是給貓買食物

但現在已經是午夜了，人到底去哪裡了?


就這樣胡思亂想到了凌晨兩點半

男孩子都已經想到也許女孩子現在人在某台車的後座裡，跟另一個男人在一起

故事大概到這裡結束，沒有人知道到底最後對方有沒有接電話


歌詞寫得很好

完全點出了對於兩人關係的不安

我相信他肯定是打了整晚的電話，到了最後甚至不敢再打電話

如果真的還是沒接，該怎麼辦? 就這樣結束嗎?

我想這應該也是為什麼他沒有當下開車到女朋友家去看

看到了又怎麼樣? 什麼也改變不了

既沒有嘶吼也沒有指責

只是靜靜說出一個令人心痛的故事

===================

歌詞

At eight o'clock we said goodbye,

that's when I left her house for mine.

She said that she'd be staying in

well she had to be at work by nine.


So I get home and have a bath,

and let an hour or two pass;

drifting in front of my TV,

when a film comes on that she wants to see.


It's Monday Morning 5:19,

and I'm still wondering where she's been,

'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine.

And now it's almost six am, and I don't want to try again,

'cos if she's still not back then this must be the end.


At first I guess she's gone to get herself a pack of cigarettes,

a pint of milk, food for the cat,

but it's midnight now and she's still not back.


It's Monday Morning 5:19,

and I'm still wondering where she's been,

'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine.

And now it's almost six am, and I don't want to try again,

'cos if she's still not back then heaven knows, what then, is this the end?


At half past two I picture her in the back of someone else's car

he runs his fingers through her hair...

Oh you shouldn't let him touch you there!
