Well it's a big big city and it's always the same Can never be too pretty tell me your name Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?
Well 這是個大大的城市而且永遠都一樣 不可能是你太漂亮所以不能告訴我你的名字 如果我大膽地告訴你"你可以當我女朋友嗎"是不是太超過?
Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen And though I may be on a downer I'm still ready to dream Though it's 3 o'clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk
So if you're lonely Why'd you say you're not lonely? Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so It's just like you to come and go And oh me, no you don't even know me You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye A girl like you's just irresistible
Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out And I must confess, my hearts so broke in pieces And my heads a mess And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong And it's you, woo hoo That's got me going crazy for the things you do
Well 這是個大大的城市而所有的燈都關了 就像我搞不懂你一樣 我必須說,我的心碎成碎片 思緒一片混亂 雖然現在已經四點而我一個人走在路上 這是每個酒鬼都會做錯的事 是你,woo hoo 那些你做的事情讓我陷入瘋狂
So if you're crazy, I don't care you amaze me But you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my You talk, I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry And only, a girl like you could be lonely And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same A boy like me's just irresistible
So if you're lonely Why'd you say you're not lonely? Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so It's just like you to come and go And oh me, no you don't even know me You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye A girl like you's just irresistible
不會知道的是這故事到底是不是真實的,Cynda Moore 這名字我辜狗了一下好像沒有相關的新聞,再一次提到的是作者已死,讀者的最大權利也是最美好的事就是猜測。但繞了一大圈說回來這首歌到底還是真實的,令人感受到真實,這也是最可貴的地方,就像 Everclear 的 Wonderful,絕對不是大作但絕對是最令人感受到真實的歌曲,特別是父母離異的小朋友們
I hope my Mom And I hope my Dad Would figure out why they get so mad I hear them scream I hear them fight They say bad words that make me wanna cry
雖然聽起來有點令人心酸,但是卻很真實,所以這首歌稱之為美好 - Wonderful.
Okkervil River - Black
I'm coming into your town. Night is falling to the ground, But I can still see where you loved yourself before he tore it all down. April 12th, with nobody else around; you were outside the house (Where’s your mother?)
When he put you in the car, When he took you down the road. And I can still see where it was open, the door he slammed closed. It was open, the door he slammed closed. It was open, long ago.
But don't lose me now, don't lose me now. Though I know that I'm not useful anyhow, Just let me stick around while I tell you, Like before, you should say his name the way that he said yours. But you don't want to say his name anymore. Oh, Cynda Moore.
別放開我,別放開我 雖然我知道我幫不上任何忙 但只要讓我在你身旁就好 就像我之前跟你說的一樣 你應該說出他的名字就像他說出你的一樣 但是不想再說出他的名字 喔,Cynda Moore
Baby daughter on the road, You’re wrapped up warm in daddy's coat. And I can still see the cigarette's heat. I can't believe all that you're telling me, What is cutting like the smoke through your teeth as you're telling me ‘forget it?’
But if I could tear his throat, And spill his blood between my jaws, And erase his name for good; don't you know that I would? Don't you realize I wouldn't pause That I would cut him down with my claws If I could have somehow never let that happen?
Or I'd call, some black midnight, Fuck up his new life where they don't know what he did, Tell his brand-new wife and his second kid. Though I tell you, Like before, that you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours, You want no part of his life anymore. Oh Cynda Moore,
我會在某個黑暗的凌晨打給他 搞砸他的新生活,在他們不知道他做過什麼的某個地方 告訴他的新老婆還有他的第二個孩子 就像我以前告訴你的一樣 你該毀滅他的生活就像它毀滅你的一樣 但你不要他任何一部分的生活 喔,Cynda Moore
Don’t lose me now, let me help you out. Though I know that I can't help you anyhow, When I watch you I'm proud. When I tell you twice before that you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours, You want no part of his life anymore. Oh Cynda Moore.
別放開我,讓我幫你 雖然我知道我幫不上任何忙 當我看著你時,我很驕傲 就像我已經告訴你兩次的一樣 你該毀滅他的生活就像它毀滅你的一樣 但你不要他任何一部分的生活 喔,Cynda Moore
And it'll never be the way it was before, but I wish that you would let me through that door. Let me through that door, baby.
當然我的一生也應該聽過千首萬首情歌,可以獻给你的當然也很多,不過就是這首,好像莫適合不過,因為喜歡或不喜歡一個人,都有千萬個理由去這麼做或不去這麼做,但是更多的時候,好像就這麼一句簡單對自己的宣示, I'm The Man Who Loves You,也好像沒有什麼可以對你說了。
Wilco - I'm the Man Who Loves You
All I can see is black and white And white and pink and blades of blue That lay between the words I think On a page I was meaning to send her With you I couldn't tell if it bring my heart The way I wanted when I started Writing this letter to you
And if I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand I'm the man who loves you
All I can be is a busy sea of spinning wheels And hands the feel for stones to throw And feet the run but come back home It make no difference, ever known Make no difference, ever known to me
If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand I'm the man who loves you
All I can see is black and white And white and pink and blades of blue That lay between the words I think On a page I was meaning to send her With you I couldn't tell if it bring my heart The way I wanted when I started Writing this letter to you
If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand If I could you know I would Just hold your hand and you'd understand I'm the man who loves you I'm the man who loves you繼續閱讀...
