歌词
Paint A Vulgar Picture - The Smiths
画幅鄙俗的画—史密斯乐队
唱片公司会议上
At the record company meeting
他们掌中玩弄着一颗死星
哦，他们精心编排的计划
On their hands - a dead star
哦，他们令人作呕的贪婪
唱片公司聚会上
And oh the plans they weave
他们掌中玩弄着一颗死星
这些溜须拍马的人渣吵嚷着：
And oh the sickening greed
“我先认识他的！我和他关系可好了！”
重新发行，重新包装，重新包装啊
At the record company party
重新估价这些歌曲
拍张照片，搞个双面包装
On their hands - a dead star
添首新歌（加个俗气的徽章）
播放列表上全是顶级好歌
The sycophantic slags all say :
“讨好他们，取悦他们”
“谄媚他们”
"I knew him first and I knew him well"
（很不幸，这是你的工作）
但其实你可以拒绝
Re-issue Re-package Re-package
如果你真想的话
Re-evaluate the songs
其实你可以拒绝
如果你真想的话
Double-pack with a photograph
BPI ，MTV， BBC
“讨好他们，取悦他们”
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)
（很不幸，这是你的命运）
但其实你可以拒绝
A-list playlist
如果你真想的话
其实你可以逃离
"Please them please them "
是不是？
"Please them "
试音时我轻轻碰了碰你
(sadly THIS was your life)
可你并未发觉
我在内心乞求，“带我走吧
But you could have said no
无论你去向何方”
If you'd wanted to
但对你来说，我毫无个性
卑躬屈膝，无聊透顶
You could have said no
丑陋新房中的一个可怜孩子罢了
懵懂天真
If you'd wanted to
无知幼稚
哦
BPI MTV BBC
精选集，畅销集
充分满足市场需求
"Please them Please them "
把它们塞进不同的唱片套
(sadly this was your life)
两张都买的乐迷感觉受到欺骗
野心家又有了新的生财之道
But you could have said no
世界巡演（“媒体妓女”）
“取悦比利时的媒体”
If you'd wanted to
（这是你的使命）
可当亏本的时候
You could have walked away
哦这是可能的
宝贝你只是没有挣够
Couldn't you
试音时我跟在你身后
你和我一样
I touched you at the soundcheck
让大众欢欣的东西
却让我们饱受伤害
You had no real way of knowing
于是在丑陋新房我的卧室内
我舞至双膝跪地
In my heart I begged "Take me with you
但我和我的真爱
从此再不相见
I don't care where you're going "
唱片公司会议上
最终他们掌中玩弄着一个死去的明星
But to you I was faceless
但他们再也不能在我眼前玷污你了
I was fawning I was boring
他们再也不许碰你了
Just a child from those ugly new houses
亲爱的他们再也不能伤害你了
他们再也不许碰你了
Who could never begin to know
但我和我的真爱
从此再不相见
Who could never really know
Oh
Best of Most of
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves
Buy both and feel deceived
Climber - new entry re-entry
World tour ("media whore")
"Please the Press in Belgium "
(THIS was your life )
And when it fails to recoup
Well maybe :
You just haven't earned it yet baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
You're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm
So in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again
At the record company meeting
On their hands - at last - a dead star
But they can never taint you in my eyes
No they can never touch you now
No they cannot hurt you my darling
They cannot touch you now
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again
