Travis【The Man Who】

佐藤雪彥

【專輯名稱】The Man Who
【歌手名稱】Travis
【專輯語言】英語
【發行日期】2000/04
【專輯介紹】
本張專輯標題名稱源於Oliver Sachs所著的一本描述精神分裂症的書“The Man Who Mistakes His Wife For A Hat”的前三個字，主唱Fran解釋道，會以這本書做為新專輯標題的取樣對象，是因為在第一張專輯推出後，有些樂評說他們多變的特性就音樂上而言，好像得了精神分裂症，於是他們就選擇以這本書做為新專輯的標題名稱來源。雖然專輯名稱顯示了樂團一貫的幽默感，但整張專輯所呈現出的風格其實是偏向較憂鬱的抒情走向的。首支單曲「Writing To Reach You」首週進榜即獲全英Top 14，描述心神相契的戀情透過Fran乾淨的嗓音，詮釋出甘醇而深情的感動；「Driftwood」一曲的民謠編曲，加上穿插其中的提琴演奏，蕩漾著復古的情懷與清新的感受，躍上單曲榜Top13；「Luv」的真心至情也藉由吉他的撥弄與口琴的曳行，劃進聽者心房；而”Why Does It Always rain On Me”不但登上排行Top10，並被Q雜誌年終樂評評為99年最佳單曲(Best Single 1999)；最新單曲”Turn”再創新高一舉獲得Top8席次。每一首歌曲都深深打動人心的這張專輯，讓Travis以另一番純情面貌再度進佔樂迷的心。

1.Writing To Reach You

Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my head won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
'Cos I'm writing to reach you
But I might never reach you
I long to teach you about you
But that's not you
It's good to know that you are home for Christmas
It's good to know that you are doing well

2.The Fear

All I wanted was the chance to say
I would like to see you in the morning
Rolling over to have you there
Would make it easy for a little bit longer
But here
Closer every year
So near
The fear is coming clear
My dear
The fear is here
Hottest summer in a hundred years
But summer didn't bother
Getting up this morning
And so all the trees forgot to wake
They were dropping all their leaves

3.As You Are

Everyday I wake up alone
I'm not like all the other boys
And ever since I was young
I had no choice
But it's OK to lead me on
I admit it's not much fun
To be led on by such a one
As you are
As you are
As you are
And ever since I woke up I felt the net
Was lifting me out of the sea
And even when I'm sinking I feel the need
But it's OK to lead me on
I must admit it's not much fun

4.Driftwood

Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to oceans
Oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn
You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you
Nobody is an island
Everyone had to go

5.The Last Laugh Of The Laughter

When the laughter fades away
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When there's nothing left to say
Ma vie
My oh my
It's the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page du chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When the spotlight fades away
Ma vie
C'est la vie
When the blue skies turn to grey
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
It's the last laugh of the laughter

6.Turn

I want to feel like I felt before
I like to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever young
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Turn turn turn
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
(Then) we might learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky

7.Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

8.Luv

What's so wrong?
Why the face so long
Is it over?
And where you going that
You no longer belong here?
And distance tells you that
Distance must come between love
Where have you been Luv?
When the mistake we made
Was in never having planned to fall in love, Luv
Singing this song
Singing along
Makes it easier for me to see you go
But in doing so
I'm letting you go
It only serves to show me

9.She's So Strange

She's so strange
And she wore a black moustache
And pilfered all the petty cash
She went to Birmingham
She'll soon be in the can
She's so cruel
And she knew what just what to do
And while the cats were all sniffing glue
They played their silly games
And now they'll take the blame
What she'd done
And she didn't know quite what she did
And they told her that she better had
So now she starts to cry

10.Slide Show

Today is the day
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the trees and all
The bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
Is bright as bright second light
Is bright oh god I hope I'm alright
Cause I'm gonna cry
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There's no devil's haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall to climb

11.Blue Flashing Light

Saturday evening
Saturday evening
A quarter to five
Oh we see him arrive at the door
Pushed you aside as he staggered inside
Spitting alcohol over the floor
A storm is abrew
And it's sure to fall soon
As I look at you from the shore
So you'd better hold on
Cos it's Saturday night
And your friends are all out
And you feel like shit
Cos they never call you
No they never call you
