As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as neat as a word
As quiet as a mouse, as big as a house
All I wanna be
All I wanna be
Ohhh all I wanna be
Is everything
As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale
*All I wanna be
Ohhh all I wanna be
Ohhh all I wanna be
Is everything
Everything at once*
Everything at once
Ohh oh everything at once
As warm as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice
As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
Stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glide
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be
Refrain *
單曲“Everything at Once”被收錄在澳大利亞歌手Lenka的第二張專輯Two中,因其靈動活潑的旋律與Windows 8電腦操作系統(tǒng)敏捷多變的功能相契合而被選為Windows 8廣告歌曲,從而為大眾所知和喜愛。Lenka空靈的嗓音極富吸引力,仿佛永遠不會蒼老。盡管如今的Lenka已過而立之年,但她的聲音依然充滿青春甜美的風情,她的少女情懷隨著歲月的流逝反而愈顯純情可愛。陽光下扭著裙角的少女是她歌曲MV中永遠的主角,她歌唱她們的羞澀,也贊賞她們的直率,并體恤她們的各種小沖動和小困惑。從廣為傳唱的“Trouble Is a Friend”,到歌詞被無數少女摘錄為“愛情圣經”的“The Show”,她的MV總是充滿靈感和想象力,既有哥特風格的陰暗,又有充滿活力的明艷,盡情演繹著難以捉摸的少女情懷。
有一首歌這樣唱道:“女孩的心思你別猜,你猜來猜去也不明白?!贝_實,少女的心思宛如天邊飄忽不定的云彩,神秘多變,但卻純凈美好?!癊verything at Once”里忽為兔、忽為鼠的自由多變正體現了少女的這一特點。她們時而如狐貍般狡猾,時而如熊一樣勇敢,時而像狼一樣使個小壞,時而像夜一樣黑暗,時而熱情似火,時而冷漠如冰。正如這首歌的MV所展現的那樣,她們的世界有復古條紋般的規(guī)整和簡潔,也有森林剪影般的危險和混亂,充滿未知,卻永不會單調。其實,少女的心思你別猜,只需漫步其中,領略那斑斕瑰麗的風景便好。
