Title - Three Wishes Artist - Roger Waters Album - Amused to Death
[Woman:] "I went to buy a....a gas bottle. At first I wanted to buy a big one, but then I hadn't got enough money, so I had to buy a smaller one. And I think if I bought a bigger one, then it would have been... the way I wanted it.
And then, er, we went down, and ahm, I put the children to bed. And I tidied the flat and everything. And then they were asleep and everything was a kind of night. I made a bed in the bathroom. I carried them there and put on the gas bottle.
But today when I think back peh.. about that. If God did take me, then I would've been in hell because I wasn't right."
Reached back for the bottle And rubbed against the lamp Genie came out smiling Like some Eastern tramp He said, hey boy what's happening What is going on You can have three wishes If you don't take too long If you don't take too long
I said well I wish they were all happy in the Lebanon Wish somebody'd help me write this song And I wish when I was young My old man had not been gone Genie said consider it done
There's something in the air And you don't know what it is You see someone through the window Who you've just learned to miss And the road leads on to glory but You used up your last wish Your last wish And you want her to come home Bring her home
Genie said I'm sorry That's the way it goes Where the hell's the lamp sucker It's time for me to go Bye
There's something in the air And you don't know what it is You see someone through the window Who you've just learned to miss And the road leads on to glory But you used up your last wish Your last wish And you want her to come home
จริง ๆ แล้วเพลงนี้ไม่ใช่เพลงที่เจ๋งที่สุดในอัลบั้มนี้หรอกครับ เพียงแต่มันเป็นเพลงที่ฟังแล้วให้ความรู้สึกแบบ The Wall กลับมา
คือ เวลาผมฟังอัลบั้มนี้ของ Waters (อดีตมือเบส , นักแต่งเพลง และเจ้าของคอนเซปท์หลายอัลบั้มของ Pink Floyd) ทีไร จะรู้สึกว่ามันเป็น The Final Cut ภาคสอง ที่ดนตรีพัฒนาหลากหลายขึ้น (แต่ใน Final Cut บางเพลงดนตรีจะแน่นกว่า เช่น The Gunner's Dream)
สุดๆ
เป็นเรื่องสั้นได้เลยนะนี่
แวะมาทักทายก่อนวันหยุดค่ะ
