Two Beds and A Coffee Machine - Savage Garden

Savage Garden = Darren Hayes + Daniel Jones

Now Darren is singing this song to you all because of a story...

...this is a story about a little boy..
...not too long ago...
...whose life was turned upside down..
...when his mother couldn't take it any more..

...this boy lived in a small suburban family with his 2 siblings...
...his mother and his father..
...his father was a severe alchoholic...
...who,when drunk had anger problems...
...and one day this boy's mother couldn't take it any more..
...and they ran, in the middle of the night...
...they took what they could, and packed them into the car...
...they drove...and drove...and drove...
..until they finally stopped...and they did this for a long time...
...they stayed in hotels...motels...and they stayed in a caravan for a while..
..and as the boy's brother and sister grew up...
..and the years went by...
...the mother knew that they would soon realize..
..the nightmare the mother was living...
...they started to slow down...moving from place to place took longer...
...but things still looked different to what the boy was used to...
...friends...family...christmas...birthdays...
...were just days....days that went by...days which they travelled...



And she takes another step
她又轻轻踏出一步
Slowly she opens the door
缓缓地打开门
Check that he is sleeping
看看他是不是还在酣睡
Pick up all the broken glass
悄悄收拾地上的碎玻璃
And furniture on the floor
和散落一地的家具
Been up half the night screaming
经过了半个晚上的争吵
Now it's time to get away
现在该是离开的时候了
Pack up the kids in the car
悄悄带上孩子们，坐进车里
Another bruise to try and hide
又是一片淤青，她必须要试着掩藏好
Another alibi to write
又是一个借口，她必须提前找好跟孩子们说

Another ditch in the road
又是横在路中的一道沟壑
You keep moving
你毫不在意，继续前行
Another stop sign
又是一个“禁止通行”的表示
You keep moving on
你还是继续前行
And the years go by so fast
年岁飞速逝去
Wonder how I ever made it through
真想知道我是怎么熬过这一切的

And there are children to think of
还有孩子们要照顾和考虑
Baby's asleep in the back seat
宝贝儿还在后座熟睡
Wonder how they'll ever make it
不知道他们将怎么面对这一切
Through this living nightmare
怎么度过这可怕的梦魇
But the mind is an amazing thing
但是思想就是一个很神奇的东西
Full of candy dreams and new toys
能让梦里都是糖果和崭新玩具
And another cheap hotel
又是一家便宜的宾馆
Two beds and a coffee machine
两张床和一个咖啡机
But there are groceries to buy
还有好多杂货要买
And she knows she'll have to go home
她知道她将不得不回趟家

Another ditch in the road
又是横在路中的一道沟壑
You keep moving
你毫不在意，继续前行
Another stop sign
又是一个“禁止通行”的表示
You keep moving on
你还是继续前行
And the years go by so fast
年岁飞速逝去
Wonder how I ever made it through
真想知道我是怎么熬过这一切的

Another ditch in the road
又是横在路中的一道沟壑
You keep moving
你毫不在意，继续前行
Another stop sign
又是一个“禁止通行”的表示
You keep moving on
你还是继续前行
And the years go by so fast
年岁飞速逝去
Silent fortress built to last
在心里筑造了一个又一个沉默的堡垒
Wonder how I ever made it
真想知道我是怎么做到这一切的

And the story continues..

...more years went by...and the boy and his brother and sister grew older...
...and they would soon stop...rebuild their lives...become strong again...
...but the boy started to grow...and became a man...
...and this boy became great things...and gave to the world...
...we know this boy as one of Austrailia's greatest male singers...
...and became a man...a multi platinum artist...
...formerly of Savage Garden...Darren Hayes...



生命宛如长长的河，静静的流，滔滔的折，浅浅的漂，最后深深的注入大海...

不错~
