Butcher Boy - A Better Ghost, 스카티쉬 챔버팝

벨 앤 세바스찬과 함께 스코틀랜드 챔버팝을 대표하는 밴드, Butcher Boy.
이들의 대표곡이기도 한 A Better Ghost.
그다지 기복이 크지 않은 평온한 삶의 단면을 노래하는 가사가 정말 좋다.

The children settle down so safe and sound, and when the mourning comes again I'm here to hold your head. 
But I can see you feather the nest with a dusty hope, you swoon and moan, there's water in your bones.
So you can keep a dresser full of sympathy, you're haunted by a better ghost than me. 
It's sad to see you cry when we're so near.

 

Such happy pilgrims now, so safe and sound, and when the winter comes again I'm here to hold your head. 
But I can see we feather the nest with rust and soap, we coo and groan, there's magnets in our bones.
So you can keep a dresser full of baby teeth, you're haunted by a better ghost than me. 
But take away the weight of where we've been and there'd be nothing left for us to talk about. 

마지막 줄 가사가 참 소담스럽고, 잘 와 닿는다.
