/>/>" Matchbox 20 抒情摇滚乐队“火柴盒20”(Matchbox 20)于1996年一举成名,他们的歌曲有着十分优美的旋律,在主唱罗布·托马斯(Rob Thomas)的带领下,他们成为同时停留全美电台成人抒情榜与成人榜Top40最久的冠军曲纪录保持者。作风低调、不炒作新闻是乐队的最大特色。 每当被问及乐队名是怎样来的时,他们都会现编一些故事:一次,正在大街上晃荡的托马斯发现了一个有着很酷logo的火柴盒,随后他又撞见一件印有号码20的靓衫……;乐队成立之初,团员们都还是20岁的年纪,如今他们可是老多了,所以乐队的名字也由原来的“火柴盒20”改成“火柴盒二十”(matchbox twenty);在鼓手保罗·杜塞特(Paul Doucette)还在做侍应生的时候,一天,他穿了件十分花哨的衣服上面缀满了贴片,只有数字20和“火柴盒”这几个字能够认出来,托马斯觉得将它们组合在一起不但听上去非常酷,而且也将会是一个出色的成衣品牌;除了这个名字,乐队当时还考虑过“Joanie Loves Chachie”和“大鞋蜘蛛”(Big Shoe Spiders)。
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around Ill smile again
Shouldnt be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again
Can you help me Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Youre breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
If I couldnt sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but Im jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin
Can you help me Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Youre breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Start bending me
Its never enough
I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me until Im completely broken in
Shouldnt be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again
Can you help me Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Youre breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Can you help me Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Youre breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
