現實/愛情: All the Pennies - Mindy Gledhill

在香港我幾乎碰不到不喜歡物質的人, 可能是我對追求物質的定義定得有點嚴苛。當然"追求物質"的定義很廣, "需要"本身也很難定義, 要是要討厭物質生活, 會到深山居住才算不追求物質也未免有點不設實際。


我們都知道生活不應該只追逐錢財與物質, 更不應該從一個人富有貧窮定義他/她的價值。如果我們的好感甚至對一個人的喜愛可以完全只基於一個人的內心、涵養, 那會是多美好的事。


可無奈的是, 絕大部份時候, 內在美比外在美更重要的格言, 我們口裡相信, 也真心以為自己也相信了, 可能會自以為清高的我們不知道的是, 眼睛不自覺地已幫我們先做了篩選, 也就不需要談銀彈策略下的浪漫氛圍如何讓我們心花怒放, 心被擄掠也不自知。


不過聽首快樂的小品, 暫時忘記現實的觸覺, 也許會讓人對愛積極些。




All the Pennies - Mindy Gledhill


Leaky faucet, creaky floor
We don't even own a bathroom door
The sofa set is nothing to be jealous of
We don't have a lot
But there's no shortage here for love

Oh, all the pennies in the wishing wells
All the diamonds Tiffany's could sell
All the riches put together
All the sunny California weather
Could not make me love you any better

You could give me all that I request
If you fancy, darling be my guest
But I'll take less
If more means having less of you
Who needs sequin shoes or private jets to Katmandu

Oh, all the pennies in the wishing wells
All the diamonds Tiffany's could sell
All the riches put together
All the sunny California weather
Could not make me love you any better

I don't need your money
Just your kisses and your funny faces
Which I miss when you're away
I cry into my pillow
Stay up late until you bring me takeout
We make conversation all about

Oh, all the pennies in the wishing wells
All the diamonds Tiffany's could sell
All the riches put together
All the sunny California weather

All the pennies in the wishing wells
All the diamonds Tiffany's could sell
All the riches put together
All the sunny California weather
Could not make me love you any better
