The night is like a lovely tune, beware my foolish heart!
How white the ever constant moon, take care, my foolish heart!
There's a line between love and fascination,
That's hard to see on an evening such as this,
For they give the very same sensation.
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss.
Your lips are much too close to mine, beware my foolish heart!
But should our eager lips combine, then let the fire start.
For this time it isn't fascination, or a dream that will fade and fall apart,
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart!
You think that I don't feel love
But what I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me
I started my life
in an old, cold run-down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
This love we're contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, scorned by society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Mm, baby
I started school,
in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't wanna please you
No child of mine will be bearing
The name of shame I've been wearing
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you, you, you
なぜ小生が知っているかというと、バンドをやっている娘のマイヒーローが『HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR』というわけだ。テレビの録画やDVDの編集を散々やってきたのでよく知っている。娘はコンサートを見にライブハウスへ行くこと数回、マーキー主演の映画も見ている。部屋にはポスターがいっぱいだ。今年いっぱいで脱退するそうなのでマイヒーローも変わるのかも知れない。まだ二十歳だったんだ。
それにしてもドリカムの中村氏の作曲家としての能力は非凡だしベース演奏のセンスだってなかなかだ。ミュージシャンってもてるんだよなぁ。ミュージシャン同士じゃなおさら惹かれるんだろうな。外見はダチョウ倶楽部似のフツーのオッサンだが、正にオヤジにとっての "Dreams Come True"。
