It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice
bruce 加了一段歌词，虽不能说浑然一体，但却别有风味。一下从女孩变成单亲妈妈的爱情。哈哈，tom也居然没有反对。因为总体上两人的版本都是一样的完美和真情流露。
I got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street makin' all that noise
All the girls out on the avenue
'Cause tonight I wanna be with you
Tonight Im gonna take that ride
Across the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And Ill take her on all the rides
'Cause down the shore everythings alright
You and your baby on a Saturday night
And you know all my dreams come true
When Im walking down the street with you
Sing sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la, well, Im in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la
You know she thrills me with all her charms
When Im wrapped up in my babys arms
My little girl gives me everything
I know someday that shell wear my ring
So dont bother me man, I aint got no time
Im on my way to see that girl of mine
'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world
When youre in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la, Im in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la
I see you on the street and you look so tired
Girl, I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired
When I come by to take you out to eat
Youre lyin all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep
Go in the bathroom, put your makeup on
Were gonna take that little brat of yours
And drop her off at your moms
I know a place where the dancings free
Now baby, wont you come with me
'Cause down the shore everythings alright
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world, now girl, now, now
When youre in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la Im in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la
对比英文中文歌词, 英文的歌词还是过于直白. 这一点好坏不论. 单就场景感, 直白有时反而更直指人心.
另外就是, 很多好的英文词作里总是充斥着两个字
你
我
这一点是我比较欣赏的, 中文歌词中这两个字是否充分地运用, 也是我判断好词的标准之一. 这两个字扩展到现代文学诗歌领域也不失为极为重要的两个字吧? 大家意见如何?
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN LYRICS
"I'm Goin' Down"
We sit in the car outside your house you're quiet
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
And you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
Well you let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come home early burning, burning in some fire fight
I'm sick and tired of you setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down
Down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I pull you close now baby but when we kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn you inside out
I used to drive you to work in the morning
Friday night I'd drive you all around
You used to love to drive me wild
But lately girl you get your kicks from just driving me down

最喜欢的还是Bruce Springsteen叙事风格的歌，后期作品音乐性增强，配器丰富，有口琴solo，营造出深沉悲哀的情怀。
流行歌曲中将社会批判性和故事性融为一体，非常独特，绝对是大师级别。
《The ghost of Tom Joad》
Man walks along the railroad track
He's goin' some place, there's no turnin' back
The Highway Patrol chopper comin' up over the ridge
Man sleeps by a campfire under the bridge
The shelter line stretchin' around the corner
Welcome to the New World Order
Families sleepin' in their cars out in the Southwest
No job, no home, no peace, no rest, no rest
And the highway is alive tonight
Nobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls his prayer book out of a sleepin' bag
The preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
He's waitin' for the time when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
With a one way ticket to the promised land
With a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Lookin' for a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the cities' aqueducts
And the highway is alive tonight
Nobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
Solo
Now Tom Said; "Ma, whenever ya see a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry new born baby cries
Wherever there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me ma
I'll be there
Wherever somebody's srtugglin' for a place to stand
For a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody is strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes ma,
You'll see me
And the highway is alive tonight
Nobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of Tom Joad

最后编辑:
Bruce的深厚唱功支持他能够在优美旋律上支持复杂的口语化的叙事歌词. 这类歌词在folk里常见, 但在摇滚里, 不是很流行. 好像John Mellencamp 也有类似的叙事方式, 也是蓝领听众群.
Jack And Diane Lyrics
from The Best That I Could Do
Little ditty about Jack and Diane
2 American kids growin' up in the heartland
Jacky's gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of Jacky's car
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the tastee freeze
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hands between her knees
Jacky say, "Hey Diane lets run off behind a shady tree
Dribble off those Bobby brooks, let me do what I please"
And say a
"Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone"
Say a, "Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk on"
Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
Well you know Diane, we gotta run of the city
Diane says "Baby, you ain't missing nothing
Jacky say a
"Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah they say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone"
Gonna let it roll 'n' rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible belt come on down
And save my soul
Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah they say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
A little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin' the best that they cant
