Joey by Concrete Blonde－－老幫菜繼續懷舊

Concrete Blonde，一支相對沒什麽名氣的美國非主流（Alternative）樂隊。這首Joey的acoustic版本我從來沒聽厭過。多數搖滾樂隊都是要插了電味道才對，但偶爾也有這種原聲更有魅力的作品。仿佛一個不施脂粉的美人，很少見的。

"This song is about being in love with an alcoholic.（songfacts.com)"是否對一個人的愛在麵對沉淪和傷害時，才更凸顯其寬容的光芒與悲憫的壯烈呢？在現實裏，歌中的“Joey”在這首歌發表後的第13年死於liver failure。

還有一個小小的細節，這個版本裏有一句“Joey，Honey，I'll save all my money.”而最初插電的版本，這一句是“Joey， Honey，I have some money.”也許隻是歌者興之所致隨意的改變，也許......



Joey
by Concrete Blonde
(Album: Still in Hollywood)

Joey, baby - don't get crazy
Detours, fences - I get defensive


I know you've heard it all before, so I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why, I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I


Joey, Honey - I'll save all my money
All is forgiven, listen, listen

'cause if I seem to be confused, I didn't mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you, well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before and I don't want to close the door
But if you're somewhere out there passed out on her floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore

'cause if I seem to be confused I didn't mean to be with you
But when you said I scared you, well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for, well I can give a whole lot more
And if you're somewhere out there passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore
