Rooftops

That toy that you got
還記得嗎
From an old cereal box
那個藏在麥片盒裡的舊玩具
Takes pride of place of my window ledge
現在還驕傲地佔據著我的窗台
Them pop cap guns
那些Pop-cap玩具槍
And your father's Bensons
和你父親的Benson香煙
Gonna make a man out of you some day
總有一天會讓你成為一個頂天立地的男子漢
And ain't it funny how it's all worked out
可笑的是不知怎麼就變成了這樣
You've got a job and a family now
你現在有了工作和家庭
And I'm singing these same old songs
而我還哼著這些熟悉的老調
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
在空蕩盪的吧台和廉價的餐館醉生夢死
But it feels like a matter of days
但有時候又感覺那些日子彷彿在昨天
Since knock and run and all the games we played
我們做著無聊的惡作劇按響鄰居的門鈴撒腿就跑
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
天黑以後仰躺在屋頂上
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
星光燦爛夜色迷人
And then running home for tea
那之後我們飛奔回家
Of mash and gravy
麥麩茶和肉湯的香味讓人垂涎欲滴
The Shipping Forecast is on the radio
電台裡在放著Shipping Forecast(BBC天氣預報節目)
Mum's in a stress
那時候媽媽整天在為家庭操勞
Says she only does her best
最簡單的生活也要耗盡全力
But we don't appreciate where the money goes
而那時候我們並不關心錢去了哪裡
Would you even recognise me now
現在你還會認出我嗎
I've lost love and I've fallen down
我失去了愛情一敗塗地
Felt the weight of the world on my shoulder
感覺整個世界的重量都壓在了肩頭
My young face got a little bit older
歲月也在臉上留下了痕跡
Had my heart been torn in two
我的心好像碎裂成了兩塊
Surely hope it doesn't happen to you
希望這一切都不會發生在你身上
Since sitting on the rooftops after dark
希望我們還仰躺在那塊屋頂上
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
沐浴著夜色醉飲星光
I won't tie my laces,
現在我任由鞋帶散開
I won't brush my hair
頭髮也不細心打理
I won't wear nice dresses on a Sunday
禮拜日我拒絕穿上好看的裙子
I say three Hail Mary's and I make my peace
我只說三聲萬福瑪利亞就閉了嘴
With Friday night DJs down back alleys
週五的晚上和DJ們在巷口狂歡
Ain't it funny how it's all worked out
可笑的是不知怎麼就變成了這樣
You've got a job and a family now
你現在有了工作和家庭
And I'm singing these same old songs
而我還哼著那些熟悉的老調
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
在空蕩蕩的吧台和廉價的餐館醉生夢死
But it feels like a matter of days
但有時候又感覺那些日子彷彿在昨天
Since knock and run and all the games we played
我們做著孩子氣的惡作劇
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
天黑以後仰躺在屋頂上
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
星光燦爛夜色迷人
And my heart been torn in two
現在我的心已經碎裂成了兩塊
Surely hope it doesn't happen to you
希望這一切都不會發生在你身上
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
多麼希望這只是屋頂上的大夢一場
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
醒來後依然是迷人的夜色和燦爛的星光
