英文歌词：

Artist:Mercury Rev
Song:Goddess on a Highway

Well, I got us on a highway and I got us in a car
got us going faster than we've ever gone before
I got us on a highway and I got us in a car
got us going faster than we've ever gone before

And I know it ain't gonna last
and I know it ain't gonna last
when I see your eyes arrive
they explode like two bugs on glass

Far above the ocean, deep under the sea
there's a river running dry because of you and me
far above the ocean, deep under the sea
there's a river running dry because of you and me

And I know it ain't gonna last
and I know it ain't gonna last
when I see your eyes arrive
they explode like two bugs on glass

She's a goddess on a highway, a goddess in a car
a goddess going faster than she's ever gone before
she's a goddess on a highway, a goddess in a car
a goddess going faster than she's ever gone before

And I know it ain't gonna last
and I know it ain't gonna last
when I see your eyes arrive
they explode like two bugs on glass

And I know it ain't gonna last ...

It ain't gonna last ...

听完整张专集后我仍然无法找到一个确切的词语去很好的概括或者形容它,Mercury Rev的融合了噪音、流行、摇滚的元素让我在数个无所事事的下午不由自主的把它挑出来，尽管意念可以迅速在效果器后面沉浮迷荡，却还是无法给我一个想要的答案。

Hole有着古典剧开幕一样奢靡的前奏，噪音和弦乐在音乐声中描绘了一个诡异的场面，扭曲的电吉他在人声后面如影随形，和钢琴、鼓一起支撑整首曲子，对立之间互相渗透，用人声沟通的旋律悄然落幕。 opus 40的名字给人一种错觉，混在其中的弦乐远离了那些惯常的摇滚元素，hudson line的jazz风格的前奏和主唱收敛起来的充满爆发性力量的嗓音，光滑的音色浸润在SAX的随性中。The funny bird中将噪音旋律后营造出的环境在试图扭曲既有的和谐，电气化的主唱的声音像挣扎在水中一般。无助的音效和高昂的激情毫不留情的碰撞。

pick up if you're there中幽怨的旋律很是让现在的我喜欢，我一直不能很深入的neo-folk在这首歌里面深深吸引了我，或许是丰富的多的旋律以及音乐中迷雾一样的云层笼罩了我的思绪，那段电吉他效果在阴森恐怖的城堡中比女声显的正义的多。Goddess on a highway丰富的旋律和抚慰人心的音色质地浸渍在几乎是天堂般的柔光里，带有不同于传统摇滚色彩的交响乐般闪烁着异彩的威严，指亮了那些崎岖的人生之路。(转自Emule)
