HWAI

最近深深的迷上了這首The flaming lips的歌。

歌詞的主人翁是一個叫YOSHIMI的日本女人。
（我原本覺得是女孩，但MV裡頭是個歐巴桑，這又是樂趣之一。）

他在市政府工作，
擔任類似地球防衛隊的角色，要對抗邪惡的粉紅機器人，保護地球。
這樣的設定，似乎處處可見。
但他不像悟空會用元氣玉，
也不懂怎麼從眼睛發射光線。
他是空手道黑帶。
而且，為了這必須完成的艱難任務，他還吃很多維他命。
這樣有趣讓人噴飯的設定，
加上歌曲開頭有魔力似的多了一段的吉他刷扣，
讓我深深的沈醉。
因為這樣的情況，
對我來說更接近現實。
讓我想起自己想挺身而出保護重要的人的心情，
希望被守護的心情。
以這樣淡淡的詼諧，
面對哀愁而龐大的世界。
這樣溫柔的力量，
強大無比而令我淚流滿面。

YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS  PT1

Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi
