Genjitsu o Warau / Laughing at Reality Kyouiku you say those proverbs as if you had contrived them I know your arrogance, but do not point it out and you’ve not changed a bit in three long dismal years I think your flaw isn’t so much your fault as a charm maybe I will meet you one day, maybe wednesday, maybe not... still, I’m sure to meet you anyway, maybe thursday, maybe 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 respect for anyone I sing my songs as if I were a prostitute you take a snap at me, and stuff yourself on my welfare I feel like I am clinging to a cloud maybe I will kiss you slowly, maybe quickly, maybe not... still, I’m sure to kiss you anyway, maybe sweetly, maybe 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 Notes: The "maybe I will meet you one day..." lines seem to have been influenced directly by Ella Fitzgerald's song "The Man I Love" (found on the Ella In Berlin album, along with the version of "The Lady Is A Tramp" that Ringo covered), as can be seen from the lyrics to that song: Maybe I shall meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good luck day back to Ringo Shiina
