*1:就是那種有指針的老舊時鐘，會一直滴答滴答，晚上很吵很恐怖的恐怖片時鐘
*2:get your back:在後方照應,支持,保護你
Won't you bury me alone 一直在想要翻成"你不會把我獨自埋葬吧?" 還是 "你不會獨自埋了我吧?"
最後面的bang應該是前面的鈴聲(ring)吧
然後歌名真的超難想，只有查到一本1928的諷刺小說"point counter point (點反點??)"
說標題是"a reference to the flow of arguments in a debate(一個辯論中的論點的提法(參考,依據))"

謝謝Ame帶我認識這樂團，這首歌真的很快很嗨，Ame能跟上這首歌的速度真的很猛
聽團又可愛的女人，婆了啦，我也想親Bubba
然後翻譯歌詞真的蝦雞巴麻煩耶，要想東想西，雖然我翻的應該可能或許只比機翻好一點點
下次會試著把一段歌詞一次翻譯再排版...
一句一句太醜ㄌ
然後明天早8，7點有Ame，棒ㄛ
