Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

有些女孩比別的女孩大，有些女孩的媽媽比別的女孩的媽媽大...。字面照翻就是這樣，「大」什麼？網海上沒有什麼解釋，只有一些引用的篇章或照片，大概就是「胖」吧？

有些事我都忘了，那個介紹我The Smiths的男店員，後來還同校，去宿舍找過我，帶著鳥巢影評人，記得他的筆名，卻忘了真名...；那間台北不知在哪裡的唱片行，我一口氣花了近萬元把已有的卡帶換成CD的店。還有水晶卡帶的推介文，忘了他們如何讓文字轉為先入為主的印象，替音樂本身加油添醋，大概連Morrissey也忘了青澀的滋味...

The Smiths既憂且娘，即使當時英國火紅一片，在美國就吃憋，即使是在講挫敗，美國人最多就唱I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?(Beck)，決不會唱Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head...。(I know it's over)。不過，The Smiths不只是有一個自負自滿自戀自憐的纖細主唱Morrissey的團，還有Johnny Marr的吉他與音樂，甚至比New Order還好，非常均衡優美的四人樂隊。難怪1987年解散之後，即使Morrissey以其個人魅力展開單飛，還是難以超越。The Smiths的"The Queen Is Dead"還被Spin在1989年選為「有史以來最棒專輯The Greatest Albums Ever Made」的第一名。

同樣來自"The Queen Is Dead"專輯的Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others沒有那麼悲情，光聽「有些女孩比別的女孩大，有些女孩的媽媽比別的女孩的媽媽大...」就很難不笑出來，這裡可試聽，歌詞：

From the ice-age to the dole-age
There is but one concern
I have just discovered :

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls mothers are bigger than
Other girls mothers

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls mothers are bigger than
Other girls mothers

As anthony said to cleopatra
As he opened a crate of ale :

Oh, I say :
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls mothers are bigger than
Other girls mothers

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls mothers are bigger than
Other girls mothers

Send me the pillow ...
The one that you dream on ...
Send me the pillow ...
The one that you dream on ...
And Ill send you mine
