'73: It Could Have Been Paradise (73：那可能是天堂) - The Magnetic Fields (磁场)[00:00:00]

Written by：Stephin Merritt[00:00:02]

We lived in Paia[00:00:07]

Hippie central I could hop to the beach[00:00:11]

Sometimes we would hitchhike[00:00:16]

Miles to school school being a figure of speech[00:00:19]

Where we sang kahuli aku kahuli mai[00:00:24]

We lived on a zendo[00:00:33]

In the forest silence for days on end[00:00:35]

Caught up on my reading[00:00:41]

Huckleberry Finn was my only friend[00:00:44]

It could have been paradise[00:00:49]

But for the horrible bugs[00:00:53]

I could have gone to a real school[00:00:57]

But for the murderous thugs[00:01:01]

In the forest of paradise[00:01:06]

We gathered magic mushrooms[00:01:10]

But mostly I sat around[00:01:14]

In rooms as quiet as tombs[00:01:18]

It was heaven[00:01:23]

My mother took up with[00:01:27]

A trumpeter red bearded pork pie hat[00:01:30]

Found a lyric of mine[00:01:36]

He took it home and set music to that[00:01:39]

To impress my mother[00:01:44]

He stole my song better back off mister[00:01:47]

Fast forward two decades[00:01:52]

Same thing happened but with Shakespeare's sister[00:01:55]

Why should it be paradise[00:02:01]

That's just a place people go[00:02:04]

It was home for a little while[00:02:09]

But you can give me the snow[00:02:13]

Give me the snow[00:02:18]

My friend shell was named for[00:02:22]

A shell on the beach she spoke pidgin English[00:02:25]

Everyday I swam out[00:02:30]

Onto the reef catching exotic fish[00:02:33]

It could have been paradise[00:02:38]

With one good reason to stay[00:02:42]

If it had been paradise[00:02:47]

Guess we'd still be there today[00:02:50]

Singing away[00:02:55]
