Ron Sexsmith / Ron Sexsmith (Germany, CD, Interscope Records, 6544-92485-2) <May 16, 1995>

"Ron Sexsmith" is the second album and major label debut album of Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, released in 1995. The album's liner notes feature a dedication to Harry Nilsson.

John Lennonの"Rain"にも似た「のんびり」賛歌。サビは「やろうとしているデカいことや、やり遂げたデカいことの話をするのが、みんな好きだよね」という意味なのかな。「みんなにイイネされなくていいんだよ」という一節はSNS時代を予見していたかという感じです。ちなみにライヴで見たら1カポ・Eで弾くのかと思ってましたが、カポ無し・Fで弾いてました。手がデカかったしな。

A day is long, many hours to fill
It's alright if we let a few minutes spill
Where's the crime in wastin' time with you?

Don't have to run when the pistol's fired
It's alright if we let the meter expire
Where's the crime in wastin' time with you?

People love to talk about
Big things they're gonna do
Or they've been through it all

We can just remove ourselves
We don't have to prove ourselves
Worthy of their approval

You're only young once
Well, that's one point of view
It's alright if we've nothing better to do

Where's the crime in wastin' time?
Where's the crime in wastin' time?
Where's the crime in wastin' time with you?
