十英尺高，你能想到什么呢？小鸟、飞机、蒲公英，这些东西都很浪漫，那么如果想到的是围城呢？凝视着我们生活的围城，有足足十英尺高。你给了自己怎样的禁锢？你想逃脱吗？今天咱们来听到由Andrea带来的"Ten Feet High"。
Andrea不但有佼好的容貌更是具有相当的音乐天赋。吹奏锡笛是Andrea最擅长，而她独有的声色更是她最好的伴奏乐器。可儿家族在10多年的音乐创作上获得了无数奖项，也奠定了他们在爱尔兰民族音乐中的王者地位。
【歌词】
You ask me all kinds of questions
Like I, I've got something to hide
And I don't know why this all began.You used to love me for freedom
Said you'd climb aboard and fly
Now we're on the ground, and I'm locked in.
I don't want to lie
Sayin' it's alright
Starin' at the walls 'round our lives
And are Ten Feet High
No, I'm not dumb.
You don't need to smile
When you hurt inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes
And the fun we had is done
But I won't sit and watch you
Go cold when summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to see the end.
We said we'd never become this
And tell each other how to live
But now I know your high times aren't with me.
We keep finding more ways
To escape you and me
Pretend you're asleep when you're lying awake
I'm not gonna lie
Say it's alright
Starin' at the walls 'round our lives
We were Ten Feet High
No, I'm not dumb.
You don't need to smile when you hurt inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes
And the sun we had is down
But I don't want to
Say it's over when I still love you
Don't say it's over when I still love you
I won't let it go cold
When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to see the end
I won't watch it grow old
When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to be the end.
Say it's over and I still love you
Say it's over and I still love you
【歌词解析】
You used to love me for freedom, said you'd climb aboard and fly, now we're on the ground, and I'm locked in.
你曾经那么大胆直率地爱我，你曾说你喜欢爬上飞机并飞翔，如今，我们在陆地上，并把自己管在家里。
on the ground 在地上
They lay down on the ground and let Queen step over them.
他们在地面上躺下而且让皇后在他们之上行走.
lock in把…锁在(屋等)里；把…关在里面；把…包围在里面：
She locked herself in.
她把自己锁在屋里了。
The small country is locked in by other nations.
这个小国被其他国家四面围住。
This curtain is closing, I'm not stayin' to see the end.
这窗帘是关着的，我不想呆着看到尽头。
curtain表示“窗帘”，下面咱们来学习与curtain有关的两个短语。
curtain speech剧终的幕前演说
the Iron Curtain Speech铁幕演说（1946年3月，英国前首相丘吉尔在美国富尔顿发表的反苏、反共演说）
curtain lecture 枕边训话（妻子私下对丈夫的训斥）
If you are late back from the club, my boy, you'll get a curtain lecture.
我的好哥儿，如果你去俱乐部玩得太晚回家的话，你老婆肯定会训斥你一番的。
We said we'd never become this, and tell each other how to live, but now I know your high times aren't with me.
我们说我们不会这样，告诉彼此如何生活，但如今我知道你宝贵的时间不和我同在。
high time 应该立即做某事的时候
