Bedtime Stories 床邊故事 by Matthew Lien

From the CD Bleeding Wolves; (c)(p) Matthew.Lien / Whispering Willows Music 1995

Everything is so unclear,how could we ever let this happen here
And with the turn of every page, another picture worth a thousand tears
Reading on with great dismay, another tanker has lost its way
And ninety million gallons spilled into the sea today

(Chorus)
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
'Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
Livin'in a world of why and might have been
Tellin' all about how I remember when
You can see it everywhere, we're adding colour to our atmosphere
Still we let the fires burn, we haven't got a lot of room up there
Now it seems this whole affair is burnin' holes in an ozone layer
Well maybe I'm mistaken, but don't we need to breathe this air
Don't make me tell bedtime stories

(Chorus)
Think it's time we recongnize, we've got a problem in paradise
'Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
Livin'in a world of why and might have been
Tellin' all about how I remember when
Think it's time we recongnize, we've got a problem in paradise
Angels fall from troubled skies, wolves lay bleeding out upon the ice
Some would say "just carry on, close your eyes now and don't think twice"
Well, given our direction, this doesn't really seem like sound advice
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
'Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees
Don't make me tell bedtime stories

Bedtime Stories 床邊故事

世上的景物,已不再清明 而我們,竟能讓它一再發生!

每翻動一次書頁,就是那令人心痛的畫面;

滿佈悲傷的心情尚未平靜,卻傳來了另一個消息 --

一艘迷途的運油船,

今天,又在大海上留下了九千萬加侖油污的痕跡

不要讓我說床邊故事 說地球上的林木曾經是多麼蒼鬱,

不要讓我說床邊故事 說我曾經有過的美好記憶,

如今,這個世界是充滿了問號與不確定

你隨處可見 我們為大氣層加上不該有的顏彩;

但,人們還是在已經沒有空間的天空,讓煙火燃燒瀰漫;

而這些種種,將臭氧層融蝕出一個破洞

如果,人們都不需要呼吸,

也許,我的擔心就是多餘!

是該覺醒的時候了!我們的天堂已經出現問題!

天使從混濁的空中降落、狼群在淌滿鮮血的冰原中倒臥

有人會說:得過且過,閉上眼睛,不要再自尋苦果。

然而,如此的建議並不能改善我們的生活!
