Alanis Morissette《Jagged Little Pill》：高中开始第一张西洋音乐专辑，CD很贵，
回忆更贵

高中时口袋里通常只有几枚硬币，那时音乐很贵，一片烫金烫银的CD要300块，即使口袋
空空，放学后还是很喜欢逛雄中对面的唱片行，那种沉浸在CD墙里四处挖宝的满足感，成
为联考小子在压力下能够大口呼吸的一个小角落。
《Jagged Little Pill》是Alanis Morissette出的成名代表作，记得没错的话，是我买
下的第一张西洋音乐CD，花了我几个星期的零用钱，虽然很贵，但人生一道大门从此打开
，高中大学时期多了那些英语歌曲的陪伴：理察玛尔克斯、玛丹娜、布莱恩亚当斯、麦可
波顿、……，熬夜K书的时候有人唱歌给你听、嗑睡虫发作的时候有人唱歌给你听、考完
试彻底放空的时候也有人唱歌给你听。
专辑中“Ironic”这首歌很幽默，一个年迈老头得到乐透后没几天死掉、从来不敢搭飞机
的人第一次搭就坠机、结婚的时候下雨、迟到的时候塞车、终于找到完美情人马上再看到
他的完美妻子……，其实当时我只是个高中生，还算是个资优生，漂亮的年轻小伙子没有
真正摔倒过，可是听到Morissette唱着一句又一句矛盾讽刺的歌词，也会笑一笑这个世界
真的很机车。
现在毕业出社会一晃眼超过十年，不知道鼻青脸肿、头破血流几次都数不清了，偶尔再听
到这首1995年歌曲，中年的我和高中的我重叠在一起，笑一笑，这个世界他X的就是那么
机车！
真的买过那张CD喔，那时候正版CD封面翻开是很札实的歌词本，高中的我在歌词本圈很多
英文单字，厚厚的英汉辞典查到中文意思，原子笔在生字旁边小小的写上注记。不过那张
CD在我有一次搬家大清仓、下定决心将所有CD数位存盘时一整箱贱卖掉了。
所有曾经认真学习、陪我走过联考岁月的那些歌声载体，一次全都消灭干净。
后悔吗？有一点，毕竟是学生时代每张三百块狠心收藏的。这个后悔有点不切实际，现在
YouTube输入“Alanis Morissette+Ironic”马上就可以听这首歌了，还有官方MV可以看
，所以，你确定要从书架上挑出那张CD、放到SONY随身听里播放吗？但话说回来，免费虚
拟的YouTube再怎么方便，还是挺怀念放学后逛雄中对面的唱片行，那种沉浸在CD墙里四
处挖宝的满足感……
口袋里早已不止300块，3万元，可以买一次小叮当的时光机吗？
Ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And Isn't this ironic ... don't you think?
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's ok and everythings going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everthing blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
helping you out
