歌词
Well he's out of season, out of sync
他与时代脱节 格格不入
Oh lord, what must his family think?
哦上帝 他的家人可怎么想
And you must be getting his feathers wet
你一定没给他好日子过
Plus he always seems to be the talk
他才整日怨天尤人
Until she drops you like a rock
女友也拿你出气
Well you should've been a better friend to him
你本该成为他更好的朋友
Well I dusted all the bones out in my yard
我清清院子里的骨头
I fixed the screen door, raised the barn
修好纱门填好谷仓
But still you call me from the moon
但每个下午
Every single afternoon
你还是会从遥远的地方传来讯息
Tell me all about the astronauts you've come to love
说起你最爱的宇航员
And how the earth looks from above
说起俯瞰地球的模样
And how I should've been a better friend to you
我本该是你更好的朋友
But I've never seen life as a chore
我从未将生活看做是一团乱麻
A treasure for a find
但也没把它当成是待掘的宝藏
I've read the news, abused the booze
我读过报纸也曾一醉方休
And often wondered why
我曾迷茫彷徨
My smile remains the thinking pains
百思不得其解也要保持微笑
The average passerby
过客匆匆
Oh they'll sink like stones into their homes
步履沉重
Away from teeth like mine
对我躲之而不及
Yes, so I came to hate my skin
我也开始讨厌这幅不讨喜的皮相
And all the holes you'd hidden in
也讨厌你布下的重重阻难
The way you let my legs walk slow weeks away
数周来我度日如年
I wish I -
我希望 -
Well, you should've been a better friend of mine
你本该成为我的好朋友
Well I saw in you a brand new bird
我看见你心中有一只幼鸟
The song of which I'd never heard
唱着我从未听过的歌谣
Oh, a melody so fine
啊 旋律还真不错
That whole world would whine
世界都为之哀嚎
And it's a tune to give the boys the blues
男孩染上忧郁
And turn the horses into glue
马儿停留驻足
You know, I should've been a better friend to you
你可知道 我本该与你成为更好的朋友
Yeah, I should've been a better friend to you
是啊 我本该与你成为更好的朋友
Well, I've never seen life as a chore
我从未当生活是一团乱麻
Or a treasure for to find
也并未看作是未来的宝藏
I've read the news, abused the booze
我读过报也酗过酒
And often wondered why
我曾迷茫彷徨
Oh my smile remains the thinking pains
但是笑容也并没有因为苦恼而消减
The average passerby
匆匆过客
They'll sink like stones into their homes
归家时沉重的步伐
Away from teeth like mine
对我也敬而远之
Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
恩 你本该是我的好朋友来着
Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
恩 你本该成为我更好的朋友
