British Sea Power - Carrion

“Carrion”這首歌是該團第一次打入英國單曲排行前四十名的曲子，歌詞沒有固定的章法，但是大概可以了解Yan想要表達他所看到的美麗海景而聯想到許多人文的事情，聽著曲子可以連想到站在海邊觀浪的人看著那起伏的海浪，想著這一代小鎮或是村莊所發生跟海有關的故事，想著大海吞噬了多少生命。或許觀浪人也想起自己所發生的回憶而對著這片大海無力的述說自己。這曲子歌詞樂團一直都沒有完整的公佈，不過英國那邊的BSP歌迷們也盡力的寫下大概的句子，來聽聽這首令人印象深刻的歌曲吧!!



Carrion inside of your heart
Under the brine you won't notice the dark
Can stone and steel and horses heels ever explain the way you feel
From Scapa flow to Rotherhithe, I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide
Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt the spray the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality

Irrigate your heart until you know your complete
And your draped in kelp, below by 8,000 feet
My soul she cried I thought you'd died amid fumes of formaldehyde
You have been gone for so long
I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide
Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt the spray the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality
