- 專輯介紹
- Following fresh in the tracks of her 2007 debut Batten the Hatches (which earned Youngs a record deal with Nettwerk and a song on the popular TV series Weeds, among other highlights), Transmitter Failure begins with a knowing nod to the past in the ukulele, double bass and jaunty percussion of the 40-second intro, 'First Person' before quickly launching ahead into the album's next track, 'Led to the Sea,' a powerful rock/pop single aimed in a brand new direction. Jenny pulls off the transition without missing a beat One listen will have you believing this is the kind of music she's been making all along. As Youngs explains, 'The first track is kind of meant as a fakeout. At the same time, it's an excerpt from 'Last Person,' which comes much later in the record. So, backwards and forwards...' It's a theme that creeps up more than occasionally on the album.
1.First Person
(修改)
What's the worst thing that could happen?
We find out that we don't quite fit.
But on the flip side, we could be just right.
And sure there's the chance
that we'll both end up broken and split
but that's my catalysis
i'm not trying to make you think
that this is some kind of great big deal
i just know exactly how you feel
2.Led To The Sea
(修改)
Wake up alone,
oh you do what you're told;
It keeps coming, coming.
Matter of fact,
I liked you like that,
But I'm done in, done in.
Followed your breadcrumbs,
they led to the sea.
Followed your breadcrumbs,
led to the sea, sea, sea...
Observe exhibit A,
who never learned to stay
there's nothing in you for the life to hear,
pound it into the dirt,
to try and make it work.
You won't be happy till we've drowned in it.
We're never gonna fit.
Consider the trade,
your promises made were worth nothing, nothing.
Whatever you say,
we're walking away.
You're still running...running (darling)
Followed your breadcrumbs,

they led to the sea.
Followed your breadcrumbs,
led to the sea, sea, sea...
Observe exhibit A,
who never learned to stay
there's nothing in you for the life to hear,
pound it into the dirt,
to try and make it work.
You won't be happy till we've drowned in it
we're never gonna fit.
Waited too long,
did everything wrong,
Said don't worry, it's not me.
You got what you want
and you're not gonna start saying sorry, sorry.
Followed your breadcrumbs,
they led to the sea (sea).
Followed your breadcrumbs,
led to the sea (sea), sea (sea).
Followed your breadcrumbs,
it led to the sea (sea), sea (sea), sea (sea).
3.Dissolve
(修改)
tell them whatever you want
you and i know what happened here
tell them whatever you want
we gave each other proof we were there
there's nothing left on you
we sat and watched the glue dissolve
ask me whatever you need
i'm just waiting to obey
ask me the things you don't see
i am living to repay
there's nothing left on you

we sat and watched the glue dissolve
tell me what i deserve
i'm just waiting on your words
tell me i'm fit to be torn
you go, i stay, nothing gets done
there's nothing left on me
but breaks and cuts i know you can see
we're dead, we're bones, we're dust
there's nothing left to lose

4.Here Is A Heart
(修改)
Here is a heart
Here is a heart
I made it for you so take it
Battered and braised
Grilled and sauteed
Just how you like it
You know I live to fill you up
Blood of my blood
Dripping with love
I'll bring you the thing
you need most
Silent between
supplies and machine
I'll hang in the corners like a ghost
You know I live to be seen through
No better way that I can see
to spend all the time
while you're asleep
When holding your hands inside of mine
I want to be here and nowhere else
Rationing off bits of myself
So I can crumble at your side
Sleep like the dead
through the noise in your head
My monitors click
and whir and glow
I'm with you all day
and also we would stay

Tomorrow and onward just this close
You know I live to keep you safe
No better way that I can see
to spend all the time while you're asleep
When holding your hands inside of mine
I want to be here and nowhere else
Rationing off bits of myself
So I can crumble at your side
I can't explain it but I have to try
If you evaporate the seas will rise
Til they devour the sky
Here is a heart
Here is a heart
I made it for you so take it
Battered and brazed
Grilled and sauteed
Just how you like it
No better way that I can see
to spend all the time while you're asleep
When holding your hands inside of mine
I want to be here
and nowhere else
Rationing off bits of myself
So I can crumble at your side

5.Clean Break
(修改)
Make it a clean break
Make it a fast cut
Don't wanna feel the ache
Don't wanna keep the rush
Cut to me
I don't need anymore
Can go
Don't bother with the table
We can do it on the floor
God knows I am sure
Make it a clean break
Make it a fast cute
Don't wanna feel the ache
Don't wanna keep the rush
Don't need more anesthetic
And no more laughing gas
Just sterilize the scalpel and let's get this over with
We can muscle this in sex

As I come to I still feel you creeping in my skin
It's back I lie under the knife and start over again
Cannot buy no vitamins
Make it a clean break
Make it a fast cut
Don't wanna feel the ache
Don't wanna feel the rush
Make it a clean break
Make it a fast cut
Don't wanna feel the ache
Don't wanna feel the rush
Make it a clean break
Make it a fast cut
Don't wanna feel the ache
Don't wanna feel the rush
6.If I Didn't Know
(修改)
If i didn't know i couldn't want you
If i didn't know i couldn't want you
if i didn't know i couldn't want you more
Monday morning, back to work just like you said
if i keep moving then i won't be kind of dead
grease the hinges but they still refuse to budge
the ceiling changes if i wait for long enough
something's lost when i translate you
thought i had it but it slips through
decoding you has proved the hardest thing
i know you love me if it start to sting
If i didn't know i couldn't want you
If i didn't know i couldn't want you
if i didn't know i couldn't want you more

Friday evening and the drinks we pass around
you said 'jenny, you look better on the ground'
my name spells emergency, quick darling make me hurt
i'm begging you on scabby knees and swallowing your dirt
something's lost when i translate you
thought i had it but it slips through
decoding you has proved the hardest thing
i know you love me if it start to sting
If i didn't know i couldn't want you
If i didn't know i couldn't want you
if i didn't know i couldn't want you more
7.What Beats Within
(修改)
everyday the same mistake
the pieces don't fit, how i guess
worn so thin and caving in
frozen between a no & yes
i'm sliding for sometime
ripping in two
the memory planted
i'm just what grew
you come to find me, a mess at your door
arms under elbows as i hit the floor
i mean to tell you just what i've done
how could you choose me when i've just begun
don't know what i'll be when morning comes
every night the sheets pulled tight

i'm sinking before i begin
silent as the light goes black
and digging to see what beats within
i'm sliding for sometime
ripping in two
a mountain of ashes
i'm just like you
you come to find me, a mess at your door
arms under elbows as i hit the floor
i mean to tell you just what i've done
how could you choose me when i've just begun
don't know what i'll be when morning comes
8.Secrets
(修改)
i've got secrets up to here, love
don't you worry your pretty head
i'm just playing to your fears, love
where am i when you're in bed?
i know where you go
i know where you go
don't ask me where i was those other nights
don't wonder why i wasn't by your side
what difference does it make?
you're asking - who? who? who?
don't i always come back home to you?
i'm just waiting for that time, love
not that you would care to learn
i can't help but open wide every time, love
you can't help but run
i know where you go

i know where you go
don't ask me where i was those other nights
don't wonder why i wasn't by your side
what difference does it make?
you're asking - who? who? who?
don't i always come back home to you?
your window left open smells like invitation
i can't stop, don't try to make me sleep without you
i've got secrets up to here, love
don't you worry your pretty head
i can't help but open wide everytime, love
where am i when you're in bed?
i know where you go

9.No More Words
(提供)
10.Last Person
(修改)
Where you're sitting on the barstool
Keeping motionless as you can be
You're thinking maybe if you're lucky
Life is like T-Rex and stillness will sweep you away to where it stays
Cause you're feeling like the last person
Left on the planet tonight
And your scanning the horizon seeking out signs of life
And you pray that you're wrong but you're right
So hold on tight
Cause all that stares back at you is bloodless zombie eyes
Why don't you come home with me tonight, alright?
I'm not trying to make you think
that this is some kind of great big deal
I just know exactly how you feel
I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of night
Maybe be the one who treats you right
Let me be the one who treats you right
Now you know never seen me
There's no reason for you to pay mind
轉載來自 ※Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網
But I'm asking very nicely
and all it takes is one step to start leaving the dead behind
And to try out walking life
And what's the worst thing that could happen
We find out that we don't quite fit
On the flipside we could be just right
And sure there's a chance that we both end up broken and split
But that's my kind of risk
So quit worrying where they fall if you should roll the dice
Why don't you come home with me tonight, alright
Not trying to make you think
that this is some kind of great big deal
I just know exactly how you feel
I could be the thing you reach for in the middle of night
Maybe be the one who treats you right
Let me be the one who treats you right
Let me be the one who treats you right

11.Nighty Night
(修改)
fall to sleep, fall to sleep
it's you i long to keep
but this world will never stay still for you and me
close your eyes, dream of fire
and embers that never expire
the flame that only will burn when we retire
don't let me fade from your mind, love
dimmed by the light of the day
out of the darkness we'll find the way
take my hand, follow me
we'll dance till the starlight retreats
our eyes will never be dry until we meet
don't let me fade from your mind, love

dimmed by the light of the day
out of the darkness we'll find the way
when the morning arrives
and the world comes alive
then you'll leave me behind
and we'll try to survive across the divide
don't let me fade from your mind, love
dimmed by the light of the day
out of the darkness we'll find the way
fall to sleep, fall to sleep
it's you i long to keep
but this world will never stay still for you and me
