歌词
1.5英里的车程花了太久太久
A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
需要很长时间去消散身上携带的旧监狱食物味道
The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by
日日虚晃使你渐渐消沉
Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
在这个古老的镇子 没人肯给你机会或施舍你一个子儿
Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town
盘旋在你头顶的沉默早就泄露了你的悲惨境地
脏兮兮或吐烟圈都不是你的风格
Hovering silence from you is a giveaway
“我不爱这地方”
Squalor and smoke's not your style
咱们离开吧
"I don't like this place"
然后我比了比自己跟你的老姐
We better go
我就是个懒汉 而她 却纯真如白雪
Then I compare notes with your older sister
坐牢的时候你学会了什么
I am a lazy gett, she is as pure as the cold driven snow
你脑子里的每个细胞都在说什么
旧监狱里什么都好就是太吵太闹
What did you learn from your time in the solitary
还有里面令人作呕的食物
Cell of your mind
混乱和麻烦是填充我生活的颜料
There was noises, distractions from anything good
但至少比强烈的孤独感强
And the old prison food
我错过了那公交车
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
你和他躺在地上
Cause anything's better than posh isolation
和腰上拴着阿拉伯皮带的男孩
I missed the bus
和腰上拴着阿拉伯皮带男孩
You were laid on your back
面对聚集起来的吃瓜群众
With the boy from the arab strap
这是你宣泄自己的方式
With the boy from the arab strap
你会觉得自己走得太远了吗
每个人都默默遭受沉重的苦难
It's something to speak of the way you are feeling
一个男人开着一辆小货车驶往康普顿
To crowds there assembled
那是个亚洲男人
Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
和他又爱又恨的情人
Everyone suffers in silence a burden
当然还带着他固有的种族主义
The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton
当你摸索着寻求自由时
The Asian man
必须给打你一个聚光灯 让你成为瞩目的焦点
With his love hate affair
听你吹着下流放肆的牛逼
With his racist clientele
哥们儿都知道你身体软着呢 因为看过你跳舞啦
哥们儿都知道你酒量好着呢 因为看你喝过酒啦
A central location for you is a must
从中午喝到第二天中午
as you stagger about making free
你呀 是带着猥琐贱笑的男孩
with your lewd and lascivious boasts
你呀 是腰栓阿拉伯皮带的男孩
We all know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing
你穿着避难所商店淘来的一身衣服 看起来像是绑在桌子上一样
We all know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking
喜剧明星退居幕后 点起烟来开始享受
from noon until noon again
但尴尬的是烟雾报警器开始呜呜作响
You're the boy with the filthy laugh
你对伦敦那帮装逼圈的人怎么看呢
You're the boy with the arab strap
你不停地在心里更新最畅销唱片排行榜的十大垃圾歌曲
她虽然是个小服务员却很时髦得很
Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop
Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches
And sets off the smoke alarm
What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
She's a waitress and she's got style
