黑暗傀儡Lisa Germano


和 Sia 閨房內低語呢喃不同的是,Lisa Germano 還多了些對社會的控訴,誠如評論所言「她擁有一種催眠他人卻不致於讓人睡著的聲音」。

很少見到流行樂界這般大量使用小提琴的。早期她以小提琴起家,當過很多樂界大牌的伴奏,後來漸漸發展出自己一套。專輯 Geek The Girl 被音樂雜誌 Spin 選為90年代優良專輯。

這首 Puppet 歌收錄在1993年的 Happiness,獨立音樂大廠 4AD 曾在2004年重新出版這張專輯。我擁有的其中兩張就是4AD出版的,其毫不在乎主流市場審美觀念的特殊美學呈現,真是和 Lisa Germano 音樂相得益彰。


Lisa Germano-Puppet

Speak, speak my little heart
Is that such bad a sin?
Where oh where do you go?
Was I that bad again?
But if I was a puppet
We'd get along just fine
Puppet

Put me here or put me there
Do I feel better now?
Used to have a fit or two
But now I hardly smile
'Cause when I am a puppet
We get along just fine
And maybe for a while
We could play together
And when I am a puppet
I have no voice
And maybe in your hands
I could act just right
I'm in your hands now
I'm up to you
No thoughts or visions
The perfect girl
My sins are freezing
My heart is breaking
In your hands
The perfect girl
Puppet


You don't know what I'm thinking
'Cause I'm not thinking anything
I used to have a thought or two
But now I only smile
Now I only smile
'Cause when I am your puppet
We get along just fine
And maybe for a while
We could play to gether
And when I am a puppet
And when I have no voice
I'm in your hands now
I am your puppet
And we get along just fine
Maybe for a while
I could act just right
Act just right
....Puppet....
