对不起省时间 所以删光原文... 说到猴子的第一张专辑 旋律本来就够吸引我了 在了解他们的歌词之後 这张专辑的立体感与真实性顿时相互建构出有别於旋律的另股吸引力 里面我最喜爱的一首歌词便是riot van 这首歌比起When The Sun Goes Down 里对皮条客的批判与对妓女的同情所构筑出 的沉重黑暗景象,更存有对无知孩童的境遇的低缓心痛 刚好昨天翻了这首歌,分享一下 Riot Van by Arctic Monkeys Up rolled the riot van And sparked excitement in the boys But the policemen look annoyed Perhaps these are ones they should avoid 这翻倒的混乱警车让这些孩子挺兴奋的 可是却惹恼了警察们 也许他们该避免这些麻烦事 They got a chase last night from men with truncheon’s dressed in hats They didn’t do that much wrong, still ran away though for the laugh 昨晚他们跟那些全副武装的警察们起了一场追逐战 他们其实没那麽过份,不过是为了好玩罢了 “Please just stop talking Because they won’t find us if you do Oh those silly boys in blue Well they won’t catch me and you” 请别出声 因为这样他们就找不到我们了 那些愚蠢的警察才逮不到我们呢 “Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me” “I’m sorry officer is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?… nobody told me” 你喝酒了吗? 孩子,你看起来还没到那个年龄 抱歉,警察先生,从来没人告诉我哪个年龄该做什麽 Up rolled the riot van And these lads just wind the coppers up Ask why they don’t catch proper crooks Get their address and their name’s took But they couldn’t care less 在这翻倒的混乱车厢前 这些小夥子们正取笑挑衅着警察 质疑他们怎麽都不去抓那些真正的骗子 并把它们的地址和名字登记下来 可是警察们面对这样的嘲笑却毫不在乎 He got thrown in the riot van And all the coppers kicked him in And there was no way he could win Just had to take it on the chin 他被丢进这辆混乱的警车里 所有的警察都对他暴力相向 而他对此毫无办法 只能忍气吞声承受一切 这首歌流露出Turner对地方那些问题孩童的同情与关爱 以及对警方放任罪犯却施暴於无辜孩童的指责 这首歌里我最喜爱的一段莫过於 “Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me” “I’m sorry officer is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?… nobody told me” 简单的一小段对话,却能传神地表达出缺乏照顾与教养的孩子的天真及悲哀 也许猴子们自己身为青少年,才对这样的景况感触深刻 另一首我也很爱的歌词,也献丑一下顺便附上了.. Mardy Bum by Arctic Monkeys Now then Mardy Bum I see your frown And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun And it goes off And out come all these words Oh there's a very pleasant side to you A side I much prefer 现在你又开始像孩子般抱怨 我看见你皱眉的样子就像要中枪一样 然後事情就发生了 我们开始吵架 其实我们可以好好相处的 我比较希望那样 It's one that laughs and jokes around Remember cuddles in the kitchen Yeah, to get things off the ground And it was up, up and away Oh, but it's right hard to remember That on a day like today when you're all argumentative And you've got the face on 就像一起嘻笑打闹那样 还记得在厨房里的拥抱吗？ 是呀，那时我们之间是多麽地自然 但这一切都已经是陈年往事了 噢，你已经很久没有像今天这般不可理喻了 因为你一直都在伪装 Well now then Mardy Bum Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I? I thought as much Cause you turned over there Pulling that silent disappointment face The one that I can't bear 现在你又开始像孩子般抱怨 喔我想我又陷入麻烦了，对吧？ 果然不出我所料 因为你在那里变个脸 就又摆出一副让我无法忍受的阴郁表情 Can't we laugh and joke around Remember cuddles in the kitchen Yeah, to get things off the ground And it was up, up and away Oh, but it's right hard to remember That on a day like today when you're all argumentative And you've got the face on 难道我们不能就一起嘻笑打闹？ 还记得在厨房里的拥抱吗？ 是呀，那时我们之间是多麽地自然 但这一切都已经是陈年往事了 噢！你已经很久没有像今天这般不可理喻了 因为你一直都在伪装 Yeah I'm sorry I was late Well I missed the train And then the traffic was a state And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care But of course I do, yeah I clearly do! 抱歉我迟到了 我错过了火车，而一路上交通又堵到不行 而我不想像个笨蛋一样再继续吵不停 当那种事又发生了，你指责我对此毫不在乎 可是我当然在乎，我真的很在乎！ So laugh and joke around Remember cuddles in the kitchen Yeah, to get things off the ground And it was up, up and away Still it's right hard to remember That on a day like today when you're all argumentative And you've got the face on 所以就让我们像往常一样嘻笑打闹吧！ 还记得在厨房里的拥抱吗？ 是呀，那时我们之间是多麽地自然 但这一切都已经是陈年往事了 而你已经很久没有像今天这般不可理喻了 因为你一直都在伪装 Alex小猴 写给分手的前女友的歌 Mardy Bum意指像孩子般不停抱怨的人 如果不知道这个意思,大概会误解歌词描述的对象。 (我之前就以为这是他写给他一个叫Mardy的朋友 XXDXD) 此曲青春明亮的旋律脉动流泄出的却是一段无法挽回的感情与美好时光 Turner恳切却又略带指责意味的词里其实蕴藏着淡淡无奈 Turner的词写得真好! -- http://blog.pixnet.net/Gronkjaer --
