第 353 首歌 文 | 船长 YOUR LATEST TRICK All the late night bargains have been struck 所有的深夜交易都被撞到 Between the satin beaus and their belles 在花花公子和他们的情人间 And prehistoric garbage trucks 陈旧的垃圾车 Have the city to themselves 他们自己的城市里 Echoes roars dinosaurs 回响着恐龙般的咆哮 They're all doing the monster mash 他们都在做怪物泥(*) And most of the taxis and the whores 大多数的出租车和妓女 Are only taking calls for cash 只打电话收现金 I don't know how it happened 我不知道这是怎么发生的 It all took place so quick 这一切发生得如此之快 But all I can do is hand it to you 但我只能甘拜下风 And your latest trick 你的新把戏 My door was standing open 我的门开着 Security was laid back and lax 完全向你敞开 But it was only my heart got broken 但只有我的心碎了 You must have had a pass key made out of wax 你一定有一把蜡做的钥匙 You played robbery with insolence 你傲慢地玩起了勒索 And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane 我在情人小径的十二个酒吧里演奏布鲁斯 And you never did have the intelligence to use 而你从来都不动动脑子 The twelve keys hanging off my chain 十二把钥匙挂在我的链子上 I don't know how it happened 我不知道这是怎么发生的 It all took place so quick 一切发生得如此之快 But all I can do is hand it to you 但我只能服输 And your latest trick 你的新把戏 Now it's past last call for alcohol 现在是过去的最后一杯酒 Past recall has been here and gone 往日的回忆来了又走 The landlord finally paid us all 酒吧老板最后付清了我们的钱 The satin jazzmen have put away their horns 光鲜的爵士音乐家放下了他们的乐器 And we're standing outside of this wonderland 我们站在这仙境之外 Looking so bereaved and so bereft 看起来若有所失 Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands 就像保利街上的流浪汉,他终于明白 The bottle's empty and there's nothing left 杯子空了,什么也没有了 I don't know how it happened 我不知道这是怎么回事 It was faster than the eye could flick 这发生的太快了 But now all I can do is hand it to you 但我只能甘拜下风 And your latest trick 你的新把戏 这首歌的亮点不必提,听上一耳朵的肯定都会被它吸引,如果你喜欢并且听过多遍,那么我想你可能不会想着去找录音室版本来听,恐怖海峡的好多歌都能给我这种感受。 他们最最出名的作品,可能是《Sultans Of Swing》,这首歌我听到的时候也是现场版,有次在一个群里有人分享了它录音室的版本,音质好很多,没有环境的噪声,干净,但反倒成为了个缺点,摇滚乐的生命还是在于现场,对我来说,无论是亲身在现场听,还是听现场版本的,总会带来更强烈的感受。 嗯,今年还是得找个机会去看场演出才行。 |
