IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
AND YOU'RE JUST GETTING IN
YOU KNOCK ON THE FRONT DOOR
AND A VOICE SWEET AND LOW SAYS
"WHO IS IT?"
SHE OPENS UP THE DOOR AND LETS YOU IN
NEVER ONCE ASKS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
SHE SAYS "ARE YOU HUNGRY?
DID YOU EAT YET?
LET ME HANG UP YOUR COAT
PASS ME YOUR HAT"
ALL THE TIME SHE'S SMILING
NEVER ONCE RAISES HER VOICE
IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
YOU DON'T GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT
IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE (REPEAT)
THE SWEETEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD
COULD BE THE MEANEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD
IF YOU MAKE HER THAT WAY
YOU KEEP HURTING HER
SHE'LL KEEP BEING QUIET
SHE MIGHT BE HOLDING SOMETHING INSIDE
THAT'LL REALLY, REALLY HURT YOU ONE DAY
I SEE HER IN THE HOSPITAL
BANDAGED FROM FOOT TO HEAD
IN A STATE OF SHOCK
JUST THAT MUCH FROM BEING DEAD
YOU COULDN'T BELIEVE THE GIRL
WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, HA
YOU DIDN'T THINK THE GIRL HAD THE NERVE
BUT HERE YOU ARE
I GUESS ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS
IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE (REPEAT)
Pretendersの曲『THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE』の歌詞である。
昨夜，この歌詩は結構聴き取り易いので挑戦してみたが，概ね内容は合っていたものの，やはり難しかった。とても衝撃的な内容でまあ，曲名からして危ないんだけど 朝五時に彼女に会いに行って彼女はとても優しいのだが，何かブチ切れた。病院に居る彼女は頭から足元まで包帯でぐるぐる巻きにされていてそれはもう瀕死の状態なのだ。その結果こうなってしまったのだ…という内容。（だと思う）
この曲は[Don't Get Me Wrong]がヒットしていたときにラジオで流れていたものを強烈な印象があったのか，覚えていたのだ。テープだとかのコレクションはなかった。その当時は意味も判らなかったが，とても早口なので深い意味があるのだろうと想像していた。で，数日前にようやく手元に入ったのだ。うーん…重たいなあ。今後しばらくは聴く羽目になってしまうだろう。
