You say those proverbs as if you had contrived them
I know you arrogancee but do not point it out
And you ve not changed a bit in three long dismal years
I think you flaw isn t so much your fault as a charm
Maybe i will meet you one day
Maybe wednesdy, may be not...
Still i m sure to meet you anyway
Maybe thursday, may be not...
I want to be you just like a leaf
That has flown away
With the wind and the rain
This "romance"is so mellow
And "so real" just like a song that has died away
With a flash in the night
I would like to be composed of you
You tell your stories as if you had no resperct
for anyone I sing my songs as if i were a prostitute
You take a snap at me and stuff youself on my
welfare I feel like i am clinging to a cloud
Maybe i will kiss you slowly
May be quickly, may be not...
Still i m sure to kiss you anyway
Maybe sweetly, may be not...
I want to be you it s hard to spend
a lifetime for myself
With the quakes and the storm
This "romance" is an error
and "surreal" it s clear that i love your insensitiveness
Like the hills and the sky
I would like to be merged into you
初為人母的椎名林檎說,翻唱有種「新生」的感覺,所以以往都出原唱作品的她,選擇以翻唱專輯為復出歌壇的第一步。在最新的翻唱專輯「歌手價值」中,她選擇翻唱自己喜歡的歌,或是對某些人具有特殊意義的歌,重新詮釋,並請來多年合作夥伴龜田誠治與森俊之當製作人,將專輯的雙 CD 分為重吉他編曲的「龜盤」與強調鍵盤樂的「森盤」。
在專輯中的 18 首歌裡,椎名林檎除了請來小天后宇多田光與她合唱當年卡本特兄妹的「 I won t last a day without you 」,並和以節奏藍調曲風在歌壇嶄露頭角的哥哥椎名純平合作「洋蔥快樂頌」。
