“Suicide Is Painless”1970年由英国乐队The Mash创作，是一首当时脍炙人口的民谣歌曲，作为电视剧《风流医生俏护士》（M*A*S*H）的主题曲作为单曲发行。后来随着电视剧的热映不衰，这首歌也在英国榜上久居首位不下。Suicide is Painless，叙述他人故事一般的冷静和娓娓道来。翻唱过这首歌的有威尔士Britpop乐队Manic Street Preachers、老牌爵士艺人Cal Tjader和Jimmy Smith、美国另类摇滚乐队Royal Trux、法国歌手Keren Ann和Barði Jóhannson的乐队Lady & Bird、瑞典歌手Jay-Jay Johanson和Marilyn Manson等艺人。并不像Ann个人作品中的那样愉悦，也没有Johannsson惯常的Trip-hop桥段，简简单单的AC Guitar分解和弦，伴随的却是相对复杂的人声，这固然包括了Lady和bird的声音，其中Ann负责了3个声部，所有合成起来，加上歌词，犹如处于自杀的边缘并考虑中，压抑，模糊，同时代有疑虑的感觉。

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I’m going to lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works it’s way on in
The pain grow stronger watch it grin
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied “Oh why ask me.”
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing
If you please
