[00:00.000] 作词 : Momus
[00:11.161] Who can now remember Zebediah Lane?
[00:19.415] The great singing sensation of 1909
[00:27.617] With his chicken and his monkey and his ukelele
[00:31.910] He achieved what seemed like undying fame
[00:35.633] But now his multi-platinum wax cyclinder rolls
[00:39.183] Like his name, have crumbled away
[00:44.460] One hundred years from now
[00:47.990] Who will still be famous?
[00:52.592] Scott McCaughey of The Minus 5
[00:56.177] John Crist of the Dashboard Saviours
[01:00.990] Or their collaborators
[01:03.061] Pearl Jam, REM, Sonic Youth, Guided By Voices
[01:07.247] The Walkabouts, The Posies (Ken and John)
[01:10.159] The Presidents of the United States Of America
[01:13.798] (Not them, the other ones)?
[01:18.050] Massive popularity is never enough
[01:21.438] Not even worldwide acclaim or universal love
[01:25.991] Can guarantee eternities of honour
[01:29.657] For our names
[01:34.347] As Velazquez and Picasso will happily explain
[01:38.667] History remembers the names
[01:42.305] Of those who creep out of the shadows
[01:45.542] And reposition the frames
[02:24.790] Beam me up, Scott McCaughey
[02:27.918] Let’s take The Minus 5 at warp factor 3
[02:32.783] To a planet just like Earth, to a city like Madrid
[02:36.898] To a place just like the Prado Gallery
[02:41.168] We’ll spend the day just looking at Las Meninas
[02:45.840] Asking ourselves ‘Who was that king? What was his name?
[02:50.150] The one who let his family get in the way
[02:53.255] Of the self-portrait Velazquez was painting?’
[02:58.177] Wearing shades at night is never enough
[03:01.637] Not exceptional skill or below zero cool at Minus 5 degrees
[03:07.268] Can guarantee eternities of honour
[03:10.065] For our names
[03:14.711] As Scott McCaughey and I have no doubt realised
[03:18.721] History remembers the names
[03:22.656] Of those who creep out of the shadows
[03:25.744] And reposition the frames
