廣東外語外貿(mào)大學英語語言文化學院05級學生，喜歡并且越來越喜歡英語。鐘愛于主流和非主流間的音樂，相信這些特別的音樂更能描繪這個世界和這個世界里人們樸實的內(nèi)心世界。愛擺弄原始的LOMO相機，或是用手機拍下感動的每一刻。希望我的介紹會引起你的共鳴。

我聽之我見：Suspended from class是一個情竇初開的女孩在課堂上做的白日夢。她喜歡上了一個男生，卻不敢跟他表白，于是在堂上做起白日夢來。她說他們可以做朋友；她說他們可以一起去跳舞。但是，一切一切都只能藏在心里。

 中文歌詞：自信這首歌的譯文還不錯！歡迎排磚哦！順便介紹歌中一俚語“Pigs might fly”，猜得出啥意思嗎？

Suspended from class    by  Camera Obscura

You’re such a beautiful writer
That’s not all you are
I’m sorry about making a pass
It was subtle but I think that you grasped
The meaning intended
 
I can be a friend to you
I won’t pretend
I’m not interested in breaking your heart
It’s not love no it’s nothing like that
I’ll leave that to lookers like him
Oh he’s such a delicate thing
Now it’s such a fragile thing that we have

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class
 
We could go out dancing
But, in truth it is the last thing that I have on my mind
Just say if I’m way out of line

I won’t need telling twice

Now he wants to kiss
Said he can’t resist
You’re going to have to keep it hidden inside
I’ve a feeling that pigs might fly, might fly

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class

You’re such a beautiful writer
And that’s not all you are
I’m sorry about making a pass
It was subtle but I think that you grasped
The meaning intended

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse

I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
I should be suspended from class
I don’t know my elbow from my arse
