スクイーズ テンプテッド

この曲はアメリカに来てすぐのころバーガーキングのコマーシャルで使われてて、なかなかキャッチーなので頭に残って離れなかった。　

でも、誰の何という曲かぜーんぜんわからないまま何年も時間が経って、音楽好きの同僚に「ハハハハ　ハ～ハ　ハ　ハ～ハ…　ってなんて曲か判る？」と聞いて教えてもらった。　今ならスマホのアプリかなんかで鼻歌で歌えば、すぐに判るのかな？

スクイーズのベスト盤を借りて聴いたけど、このテンプテッド以外はピンと来る曲は無し。　一発屋さん？　でも、この曲が入ったアルバムはエルビス・コステロがプロデュースしてたんだと。　ふ～ん。


スクイーズ　テンプテッド　（←クリック）

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
Let's get out of this place
Past the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
The billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling (keep calling) and calling (and calling)
But forget it all
I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the car park, the airport
The baggage carousel
The people keep on crowding
I'm wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion
It's no story I could tell

At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience
Hating to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
What is there to do?

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the truth of another
Tempted and the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
