Gene - Wasteland (The Jam cover)

 

Wasteland

Meet me on the wastelands - later this day,

We'll sit and talk and hold hands maybe,

For there's not much else to do in this drab and colourless place.

We'll sit amongst the rubber tyres,

Amongst the discarded bric-a-brac,

People have no use for - amongst the smouldering embers of yesterday.

 

And when or if the sun shines,

Lighting our once beautiful features,

We'll smile but only for seconds,

For to be caught smiling is to acknowledge life,

A brave but useless show of compassion,

And that is forbidden in this drab and colourless world.

 

Meet me on the wastelands - the ones behind,

The old houses - the ones - left standing pre-war -

The ones overshadowed by the monolith monstrosities councils call homes.

 

And there amongst the shit - the dirty linen,

The holy Coca-Cola tins,  the punctured footballs,

The ragged dolls , the rusting bicycles,

We'll sit and probably hold hands.

 

And watch the rain fall,  watch it,  watch it 

Tumble and fall , tumble and falling 

Like our lives  -like our lives 

Just like our lives.

 

We'll talk about the old days,

When the wasteland was release when we could play,

And think  without feeling guilty 

Meet me later but we'll have to hold hands.

Tumble and fall,  tumble and falling 

Exactly like our lives 

암 생각 없이 듣고있는데 사운드가 음? 보컬이 왤케 귀여워? 이래서 봤더니 역시 더 잼 커버였군.. 

하여간 웰러가 난리이긴 했던 모양이다. 하지만 원곡보다는 진 커버 버전이 더 좋다. 로시터가 진 노래를 부를때보다 좀 더 상큼하게 부르는 느낌이라 귀엽다.
