slur

I feel all happy and giddy. Remember how happy Molly Ringwald was at the end of Sixteen Candles? Only I’m a guy — and I’m not into Jake Ryan. In honor of this feeling I submit to you these lyrics from The Thompson Twins that was played at the end of the film when Molly says, ”It already came true.” Now, the lyrics…

if you were here
i could deceive you
and if you were here
you would believe
but would you suspect
my emotion wandering, yeah
do not want a part of this anymore
The rain water drips
through a crack in the ceiling
and i'll have to spend
my time on repair
But just like the rain
i'll be always falling, yeah
only to rise and fall again

Funny thing is that, if you’ll notice, the actual lyrics totally don’t fit the movie. I you were here, I could decieve you. WTF? Would you expect my emotion wandering? I’m kind of disappointed since I always thought they were singing about falling in love or some other nice sentimental stuff. If you slur the words a lot while you’re reading them, however, you get the effect that you’re saying something charming. Nice.
