She s taking her time making up
the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles
and the look in their eyes
Everyone s got a theory about the
bitter one
They re saying, "Mamma never loved
her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That s why she shies away from
human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she s waiting for the right
kind of pilot to come
And she ll say to him
She s saying I would fly you to the moon & back if
you ll be...
If you ll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we
belong
So would you be my baby? She can t remember a time when she
felt needed
If love was red then she was color
blind
All her friends they ve been tried for
treason
And crimes that were never defined
She s saying, "Love is like a barren
place,
And reaching out for human faith
Is like a journey I just don t have a
map for"
So baby s gonna take a dive and
push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she s hanging
all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
just saying I would fly you to the moon & back if
you ll be...
If you ll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we
belong
So would you be my baby?
野人花園是一個二人組合,樂隊由主唱Darren和吉他手兼鍵盤手Daniel組成。兩個來自澳大利亞布里斯班的年輕人在1993年時走到了一起,起初Daniel原來所在的樂隊正缺少一名主唱,於是他在附近的酒館裡張貼了一張招聘廣告,這張廣告吸引來了Darren,他和20多名應聘者一起參加了面試,他是最後一個出場,可能是太緊張了,他唱歌時聲音沙啞而且走了調。但是Daniel卻偏偏看上了他,覺得他就是自己要找的人。 Darren加入了Daniel的樂隊,開始演唱別人的歌曲,在相處中這兩個人越來越投機,尤其是在音樂上他們總能找到共同的感受,這促使他們創作了第一首他們自己的歌曲:“A Thousand Word”,這首歌曲的成功給他們帶來了強烈的鼓舞和激情,終於他們離開了原來的樂隊組成了自己的樂隊。
Darren很喜歡讀Anne Rice的小說,其中在一本名為《吸血鬼編年史》的小說中,作者把這個世界描述為一個野人的花園,於是Savage Garden作為他們樂隊的名字就這樣得來了。
