#129 (Toyah/Cath Carroll)

女人……


<b>Danielle Dax "Bed Caves"</b>
["Pop-Eyes", 1983]
大美女Danielle Dax有点让我不明白，这第一张第一首就这么spicy味道正点口感刺激，咋后面若干年尽出一些不咸不淡New Wave跳舞，冲着她使出当年流行的喉头颤声（Liz Fraser和Siouxsie Sioux那种……），听听也行。不过这第一首呀第一首"Bed Caves"真是好的，后朋音场盘踞之上仿中东调调左右刺杀，词就三句，“Today's not the same as before/Starting with a clean slate/Promises of new rewards”，清亮激越人声一出，剑指处花尸尽坠。

<b>Toyah "Prostitute"</b>
["Prostitute", 1988]
Robert Fripp底老婆~~娘家姓Willcox，姿色尚可，主要是会打扮。要一条式子概括她音乐生涯，说是Danielle Dax加Kate Bush除二没问题吧？又因为夫君的缘故，沾点Prog架式也正常（更别提91年夫唱妇随之结晶Sunday All Over The World一队）。看她这么多年出了这么多专辑，让人记得住的歌真真是少，除了她五颜六色的发型和那次那一边酥胸，不妨读读"Prostitute"的词，到底有点接近她的自描了——我的印象。

Fingers cross my lips
Drawing pretty maps
With my bright red lipstick
Pictures of deviation
I read in the dictionary
That I'm a miscreation
A nonconformist
Make it quick, make it quick,
I make a livin' off-a this

This is your fifteen minute call ladies and gentlemen fifteen minutes.
Thank you.
God you're beatiful.

Na na don't use the back breaks honey
Forget my lips just let the muscle fix fit
Pr..pr..prostitute
Pr..pr..prostitute

Now don't quote Karl Marx to me
What's yours is yours,
What's mine is ours
When you touch me
I feel the media printing porn
Across my female form
Cigarette burns on your jacksaw chin
Come on man
I need a girl
If you can't do
What she can man.

They say, when something begins, there is no sin...

Na na don't use the back breaks honey
Forget my lips just let the muscle fix fit
Pr..pr..prostitute
Pr..pr..prostitute

Come on baby, baby, baby, baby
Reach my maturity
No bones about it
Slow burn speed car racing
Three point turn
b..b..body tracing
we're heading for that wall
we're heading for that wall

<b>Cath Carroll "Jimmy's Candy"</b>
["True Crime Motel", 1995]
无论是在Unrest那张《Perfect Teeth》还是她自己这第二张个专封面上，她的照片总是跟其音乐气质不搭边，更扯不上以她为偶像的Unrest男士Mark Robinson。但是在后者的力邀之下诞生这样一张温婉清丽的Alternative Pop，还真是颇令人意外呢。作为80年代Indie/New Wave风潮中走出来的一员，她的头张album《England Made Me》碟如其名（比Black Box Recorder早得多吧），淡雅又artsy的New Wave舞曲之外特别值得留意的还有一股子Sophisti-Pop氛香。这第二张更了不得，让人欲大呼“杂交得好”，不英不美，就是神思暗涌摇曳的Alternative Pop，仿似指尖在桌面踩舞步；又如"Jimmy's Candy"的香颂气压和以背景里的Ethereal味碎光吉他高积云，放眼望去，将又是个“明日晒谷不用翻”的明媚晴日。

<b>Toyah "The Vow (acoustic)"</b>
["The Acoustic Album", 1995]
再放个Toyah的凑数吧，但歌本身绝对不凑数。95年翻唱自己83年大碟《Love Is The Law》中的名作"The Vow"，acoustic曲风一洗旧时得意飞扬，换得一脸伤痕派女唱作人哀戚又不甘，人老了声音也跟着进入中年，更像Siouxsie Sioux之余，可贵的是底子里那层洞世的神色。

In every waking hour I miss you
In my dreams I never kiss you
And in the shadows creatures want to hurt you
But in love and war I'll never desert you

And I breathe white fire in anger
I breathe white fire in anger

In every waking hour I miss you
In my dreams I never kiss you
And somewhere on another star a man holds his brother
Looking at the faded scars of their land
And he wonders if another planet has survived man

And I breathe white fire in anger
I breathe white fire in anger

In every waking hour I miss you
In my dreams I never kiss you
And in the shadows creatures want to hurt you
But in love and war I'll never desert you
I'll never desert you
I'll never desert you

And somewhere on another star a man holds his brother
And he loved him, he loved him
Like he loved no other
