廣東外語外貿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
