誕下跳舞的馬兒，是甚麼一回事？我不知道， 我還知道Dancing House。那麼來自利物浦的Echo & The Bunnymen 收錄於1985單曲集【Songs to Learn and Sing】這支《Bring On The Dancing horses》說甚麼？大抵是一個過程，一手製造而由自己一手毀滅，「first i’m gonna make it　then i’m gonna break it　till it falls apart　hating all the faking　and shaking while i’m breaking　your brittle heart」，多麼的神傷而美麗。

MV也同樣美麗，畫面上下的分割像分開了兩個空間，舞台上的影象很簡潔，卻開拓著另一層空間；舞台下的人也展開了另一度空間，看到的東西太多，寄託的也可以很多，看/聽得黯然。MV的剪影讓我想起【Songs to Learn and Sing】封面的剪影，急不及待回家帶來聽。

MV

Bring On The Dancing horses
jimmy brown
made of stone
charlie clown
no way home
bringing on the dancing horses
headless and all alone

shiver and say the words
of every lie you’ve heard

first i’m gonna make it
then i’m gonna break it
till it falls apart
hating all the faking
and shaking while i’m breaking
your brittle heart

billy stands
all alone
sinking sand
skin and bone
bring on the dancing horses
wherever they may roam

shiver and say the words
of every lie you’ve heard

first i’m gonna make it
then i’m gonna break it
till it falls apart
hating all the faking
and shaking while i’m breaking
your brittle heart

brittle heart
brittle heart
and my little heart
goes

jimmy brown
made of stone
charlie clown
no way home

first i’m gonna make it
then i’m gonna break it
till it falls apart
hating all the faking
and shaking while i’m breaking
your brittle heart

bring on the new messiah
wherever he may roam…

brittle heart
brittle heart
and our little hearts
go
