有什麼曲子能讓你從椅子上跳起來, 心想"Lou Reed幾時寫過這麼棒的歌?" 我的首選是 The Rose of Avalanche 的 L.A. Rain (1985) http://www.myspace.com/roseofavalanche or 3f2uF or 782sM 主唱老練的talking-singing, 藥味刺人的噪音吉他, 讓這首七分半鐘中板曲子從頭到尾充滿張力. 寫的是低沈到底的落魄和分離, 但整體卻相當大氣; 最後浮起猛刷的鋼弦吉他, 彷彿要把聽者的心神攫入那漫佈L.A.的大雨中 I saw my girl as she's walking down the road She looked at me and she started to bleed She's touched the smoke and it's gone right to her head She fought with Lucy and she had got thrown out of bed I'm in the ghetto and I looked right in her eyes She looked at me and she started to cry Know why? She's in the rain The acid rain The skies are black and the sun don't shine Her heart is gone and her eyes don't smile She's in the rain, in the rain, in the L.A. rain The skies are black and the sun don't shine The L.A. rain The time has come for me to start my dreams again The night hasn't dawned in yet the sun still shines The skies are black and it's raining right down on me I'm in the ghetto and my girl sat next to me Her family said no you're not living here no more You're just an addict and you keep going back for more She's in the rain The acid rain The skies are black and the sun don't shine Her heart is gone and her eyes don't smile She's in the rain, in the rain, in the L.A. rain The skies are black and the sun don't shine The L.A. rain Yesterday I saw my girl She was looking good as she walked down the road with the beautiful girls She was a beautiful girl Today she doesn't look so good She fought with Lucy and she's trying to look like a devil that's good Like a devil that's good Tomorrow, who knows, we'll both be dead We're the shits of this world or so they say I can hear them say And who cares anyway? I'm telling you we'll still be here tomorrow We don't plan leaving this world for a long time yet For a good long time yet Yesterday, what a day She was looking good, looking good Yesterday she was looking good And the light in her eyes shone in mine And she said I love you Yeah I love you Today, what a day She don't look so good, she don't look so good Today she doesn't look so good And the light in her eyes has gone And what can I say? I'm all alone and in the L.A. rain again I'm all alone again And she has to say bye bye Yeah she has to say bye bye Bye bye baby, bye bye love Don't cry baby, don't cry love Don't die in the ghetto Don't live in the ghetto Bye bye baby, goodbye love Cry cry baby, cry cry love Forever And ever Bye bye baby, bye bye love Don't cry baby, don't cry love Bye bye Bye bye Goodbye baby, goodbye love Goodbye baby, goodbye love Bye bye baby, bye bye baby Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye baby Bye bye Bye bye Goodbye baby, goodbye love Goodbye baby, goodbye love Bye bye Goodbye --
