Street Of London

(2007-10-23 23:00:32) 下一個

很早就喜歡愛爾蘭光頭女歌手Sinead O'Connor, 一個離經叛道的漂亮女歌手, 她對商業決不妥協,操著濃重的凱爾特腔唱著流行歌曲,在頒獎典禮上不去客套感謝那些唱片公司之類的,甚至在演出時公開毀掉了一副耶穌畫像.

前年宣布退出歌壇,引起歌迷唏噓不已. 喜歡她的歌很多, 都刻在了CD上開車的時候聽, 有早期Nothing Compares to You的蕩氣回腸, 有重新演繹甲殼蟲樂隊的Street Of London之沉默的力度, 尤其最後那拖了很久才發出來的Min............d,更是深入靈魂.

Street Of London

Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
In his eyes you'd see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me, you're lonely and say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind



Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London
dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me, you're lonely and say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind



In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
same old man sitting there, on his own
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me, you're lonely and say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind



Have you seen the old man outside the Seamens
mission memorie fathing, with the medalreabbons that he weares
In our winter city, the rain cryes little pitty,
For one more forgoten hero, and a world that doesn´t care

So how can you tell me, you're lonely and say for you that the sun doesn't shine?
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your min...d
