歌词
That toy that you got
还记得吗
From an old cereal box
那个藏在麦片盒里的旧玩具
Takes pride of place of my window ledge
现在还骄傲地占据着我的窗台
Them pop cap guns
那些Pop-cap玩具枪
And your father’s Bensons
和你父亲的Benson香烟
Gonna make a man out of you some day
总有一天会让你成为一个顶天立地的男子汉
And ain’t it funny how it’s all worked out
可笑的是不知怎么就变成了这样
You’ve got a job and a family now
你现在有了工作和家庭
And I’m singing these same old songs
而我还哼着这些熟悉的老调
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
在空荡荡的吧台和廉价的餐馆醉生梦死
But it feels like a matter of days
但有时候又感觉那些日子仿佛在昨天
Since knock and run and all the games we played
我们做着无聊的恶作剧按响邻居的门铃撒腿就跑
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
天黑以后仰躺在屋顶上
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
星光灿烂 夜色迷人
And then running home for tea
那之后我们飞奔回家
Of mash and gravy
麦麸茶和肉汤的香味让人垂涎欲滴
The Shipping Forecast is on the radio
电台里在放着Shipping Forecast(BBC天气预报节目)
Mum’s in a stress
那时候妈妈整天在为家庭操劳
Says she only does her best
最简单的生活也要耗尽全力
But we don’t appreciate where the money goes
而那时候我们并不关心钱去了哪里
Would you even recognise me now
现在你还会认出我吗
I’ve lost love and I’ve fallen down
我失去了爱情一败涂地
Felt the weight of the world on my shoulder
感觉整个世界的重量都压在了肩头
My young face got a little bit older
岁月也在脸上留下了痕迹
Had my heart been torn in two
我的心好像碎裂成了两块
Surely hope it doesn’t happen to you
希望这一切都不会发生在你身上
Since sitting on the rooftops after dark
希望我们还仰躺在那块屋顶上
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
沐浴着夜色 醉饮星光
I won’t tie my laces,
现在我任由鞋带散开
I won’t brush my hair
头发也不细心打理
I won’t wear nice dresses on a Sunday
礼拜日我拒绝穿上好看的裙子
I say three Hail Mary’s and I make my peace
我只说三声万福玛利亚就闭了嘴
With Friday night DJs down back alleys
周五的晚上和DJ们在巷口狂欢
Ain’t it funny how it’s all worked out
可笑的是不知怎么就变成了这样
You’ve got a job and a family now
你现在有了工作和家庭
And I’m singing these same old songs
而我还哼着那些熟悉的老调
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
在空荡荡的吧台和廉价的餐馆醉生梦死
But it feels like a matter of days
但有时候又感觉那些日子仿佛在昨天
Since knock and run and all the games we played
我们做着孩子气的恶作剧
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
天黑以后仰躺在屋顶上
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
星光灿烂 夜色迷人
And my heart been torn in two
现在我的心已经碎裂成了两块
Surely hope it doesn’t happen to you
希望这一切都不会发生在你身上
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
多么希望这只是屋顶上的大梦一场
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
醒来后依然是迷人的夜色和灿烂的星光
