A Penny for the Band - Justin Rutledge
Another Shirley Temple,
新一代的秀兰邓波尔
Another Caine and Able,
新一代的Caine and Able乐队
There's nothing out the window,
窗外面什么也没有
And nothing on the table.
桌子上也什么都没有
This life is like a sad list
这样的生活像张悲哀的列表
Strong across the Nation,
长长的穿过整个国家
If I miss you at the soundcheck,
如果我听唱片的时候想起了你
I'll see you at the station.
我就能在车站看到你
There's a beast inside of me,
我的身体里藏了一只野兽
And he's not bad company
其实它也不算一个很糟的伙伴
But he speaks in tongues I can never understand,
但是它却总说着我听不懂的话
He says it's one more show and a penny for the band.
他说: 再表演一次, 给这乐队一便士
Keep everybody dancing,
人人都跳舞吧不要停止
Keep everybody spending,
人人都挥霍吧不要停止
I know I am not a good man,
我知道我不是什么好人
But I can keep pretending.
但是我能一直装下去
I made it in a doorway,
我把它放在主页上了:
Your dress is like a dark vale,
你的裙子就像一条阴暗的溪流
But I'm not going your way,
但是我不像你那样
I'm going back to heartache.
我又开始心痛了
With a bottle of Burgundy,
喝着一杯勃艮第酒
Where she waits on the balcony,
想起她每次在阳台等我
With a northern wish and a daisy in her hand,
她脑子里想着的是北方的愿望和雏菊花
To send me all her love and a penny for the band.
她给了我全部的爱, 给了乐队一便士
There's a beast inside of me,
我身体里有只野兽
And I miss my family,
我开始想家了
All these pages and these stages made of sand,
这些记录和辉煌舞台仿佛手中沙
Still, it's one more show and a penny for the band,
但仍然, 再来一次表演,给这乐队一便士
One more show and a penny for the band.
再来一次表演, 给这乐队一便士
