好听的英文歌曲：Skinny Love - Birdy

14岁的英国小女孩Birdy（Jasmine Van den¹ Bogaerde）是08年UK Idol² 18岁以下组的冠军，她的新单曲Skinny Love目前英榜排名第27位。小女孩的声音很清凉冷峻，叫人心头一凉，非常特别的感觉。

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer³

I tell my love to wreck⁴ it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ...
Sullen⁵ load is full so slow on the split

I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted then who the hell was I?
Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you? who will fight?
And who will fall, far behind?

Come on skinny love ........
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ... (x2)
