  • 作词 : Gibbard, Harmer, Walla
    作曲 : Death Cab for Cutie
    There's a saltwater film
    on the jar of your ashes
    I threw them to sea
    but a gust blew them backwards
    and the sting in my eyes
    which you then inflicted
    was par for the course
    just as when you were living
    It's no stretch to say
    you were not quite a father
    but a donor of seeds
    to a poor single mother
    that would raise us alone
    we never saw the money
    that went down your throat
    through the hole in your belly

    Thirteen years old
    in the suburbs of Denver
    standing in line
    for Thanksgiving dinner
    at the Catholic church
    the servers wore crosses
    to shield from the sufferance
    plaguing the others
    Styrofoam plates, cafeteria tables
    charity reeks of cheap wine and pity
    and I'm thinking of you
    I do every year
    When we count all our blessings
    And wonder what we're doing here.

    You're a disgrace
    to the concept of family
    the priest won't divulge
    that fact in his homily
    and I'll stand up and scream
    if the mourning remain quiet
    you can deck out a lie
    in a suit but I won't buy it
    I won't join in the procession
    that's speaking their peace
    using five-dollar words
    while praising his integrity
    and just 'cause he's gone
    it doesn't change the fact
    he was a bastard in life
    thus a bastard in death
