1.better safe than starry-eyed：原本應該是俚語better safe than sorry（有備無患、安全總比後悔好），但這裡sorry變成starry-eyed，後者在The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived跟Call It What You Want都有出現過。
2.get-love-quick scheme：原本是get-rich-quick scheme（快速致富計畫），這裡rich變成love，我就翻成「一日生情（日久生情的變體）的計畫」。
3.shit-talked me under the table：有雙重意義，talk someone under the table指講太多話導致某人厭煩，也可以指他私底下講她的壞話。
一生摯愛（love of my life）跟我失去的一生摯愛（loss of my life）英文簡寫都是loml。
我覺得讓大家自己去解讀文字的隱喻，比我直接翻出來更好，畢竟你不知道會不會出現超級多不同的解讀，「一千個人眼裡有一千個哈姆雷特」嘛。
但這首我還是蠻多超譯的。之前也會超譯，但含量沒這麼高，不過我也懶得解釋哪裡超譯了，太多了……
「在陽台起舞的鬼魅」可以理解為兩人過往的回憶，以及「仿造品過了保存期限」（好超譯）是指這場戀情本身就是虛假的，而如今它終於死了（不再延續）。
loml我自己沒什麼太大的感覺，旋律的關係，總覺得情緒爆發力沒有So Long, London跟The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived這麼強，但我也是很喜歡，TTPD每一首都很讚。
Hope you enjoy it!
我也有翻譯TTPD的：
