How To Hang a Warhol

歌词
Mama, someday you'll be so proud of me
老妈有一天你会为我骄傲
You'll see me hanging in the New York gallery
你会看到我的作品挂在纽约画廊展览
Someday I'm gonna draw from the left side of my brain
有一天我要靠我的左脑来信手涂鸦(生物学意义上一般由右脑掌管绘画等艺术领域)
People are gonna ask,
人们看到还是会问
"Is it brilliant or plain?"
“这就是杰出的抽象艺术画作吗?”
But as long as I don't know how to hang a Warhol
但是只要我还无法理解安迪沃霍尔(最富盛名的波普艺术家)
I keep sketching birds, that are all like herds
我就像他那样无限地把素描的鸟复制成群(波普艺术的一个特点是将流行文化的一些符号无限的复制放大,但是鸟显然不属于流行文化的符号,这里看出是真的不理解波普艺术)
Very simple and true, like, you know, when we doo doo
很简单的道理 就像是我们还在随地嘘嘘的童年时就会的那样
And if you like them, yeah
如果你喜欢它们 那不错
But if you don't, stop there
如果你不喜欢 那就拜拜不送
'Cause I really don't care
因为我其实并不在乎啦
I said, Papa someday I'm gonna write a symphony
嘿老爸有一天我会写首交响乐
48-piece band all dressed up like me
一大帮乐队成员都和我穿着一样的衣服演出(48-piece是一种常见的大型包装样式)
I said, I'll write someday the satyrs of old songs
有一天我要写出萨提尔式的古曲(在古希腊神话中,半人半兽的牧神satyr是创造力、音乐、诗歌与性爱的象征)
I'm gonna chill the marrow in their bones
我的音乐要刺激到他们的骨髓
But as long as I can't get into Carnegie Hall
但是只要我还不能去卡内基音乐厅(1891年在纽约建立的第一座大型音乐厅)
I keep writing songs that are all my own
我就不停地一个人写歌
Very simple and dumb, like I always have done
很简单也很枯燥 就像我已经做的那样
If you like them, yeah
如果你喜欢它们 那不错
But if you don't, too bad
如果你不喜欢 我也么得办法
'Cause it's all I have
因为这就是我所有的啦
Ever since I met her, I keep thinking
自从我遇见浑身充满艺术气质的她 我就一直在想
"God, how great it is to play a guitar"
哦天呐我要是会弹个吉他什么的该有多好
This way I feel that she's always with me
那样的话她应该会一直跟在我身边吧
'Cause every other song's telling me that this time is about our love
因为所有此后的每一首歌都是在说我们的爱情啊(几个菜啊喝成这样)
