Book of Saturday
If i only could deceive you
也許我只能通過欺騙
Forgetting the game
來忘記這場遊戲的存在
Every time i try to leave you
無數次想與你們告別
You laugh just the same
你們總是一笑而過
Cause my wheels never touch the road
說我自恃清高不切實際
And the jumble of lies we told
說這些我們創作出混亂的謊言
Just returns to my back to weigh me down
到頭來只會把握自己壓垮
We lay cards upon a table
我們把牌俯蓋在桌上
The backs of our hands
可背地裡仍在出千
“And i swear i like your people”
我發誓我真心喜歡你”
The boys in the band
一個樂隊裡的男孩說道
Reminiscences gone astray
記憶不再是最初的模樣
Coming back to enjoy the fray
只能回到現實習慣這模糊不清的假象
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds
沉浸在夜晚的渾噩和白晝的喧囂中
All completeness in the morning
每個清晨,所有你辛苦維持的“完整性”
Asleep on your side
就躺在你的身旁
Ill be waking up the crewmen
我作為水手醒來
Banana-boat ride
讓我的香蕉船開動起來
She responds like a limousine
她發動起來就像一輛轎車
Brought alive on the silent screen
帶給這死寂的屏幕一些生氣
To the shuddering breath of yesterday
延續昨日那顫抖的喘息
Theres the succour of the needy
得到了窮人的救濟
Incredible scenes
真是不可思議
“Ill believe you in the future”
他說:“也許將來我會相信你”
“Your life and death dreams ”
相信你關於生命與死亡的理想”
As the cavalry of despair
在大家看來我好似一位絕望的騎士
Takes a stand in the ladys hair
在女士的髮絲上搖搖欲墜
For the favour of making sweet sixteen
不過為了延續那美好的六十年代而已
You make my life and times
你們把我的生活和時代
A book of bluesy saturdays
記在了每週六的賬簿上
And i have to choose
而我卻沒有選擇的餘地
