Well we were born within one hour of each other. Our mothers said we could be sister and brother. Your name is Deborah, Deborah. It never suited ya. Oh they thought that when we grew up, We'd get married, and never split up. We never did it, although often I thought of it.
--------------------(副歌)-------------------------- Oh Deborah, do you recall? Your house was very small, With wood chip on the wall. When I came around to call, You didn't notice me at all.
Let's all meet up in the year 2000. Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown. Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road. I never knew that you'd get married. I would be living down here on my own on That damp and lonely Thursday years ago
You were the first girl at school to get breasts. Martyn said that yours were the best. The boys all loved you but I was a mess. I had to watch them trying to get you undressed. We were friends but that was as far as it went. I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant, Oh it meant nothing to you, Cos you were so popular.
Oh what are you doing Sunday baby? Would you like to come and meet me maybe? You can even bring your baby. Woo~~ What are you doing Sunday baby. Would you like to come and meet me baby? You can even bring your baby. Woo~~
忘記在哪裡看過這樣一句話："搖滾樂能玩的把戲，在80年代之前都被玩過了。"某些程度上蠻同意這句話的，尤其是在看過Jimi Hendrix之後，姑且不論那些讓人看了下巴會掉到地上的表演方式：用牙齒solo、背後彈吉他...就音樂本身也是如此的，很多現在的樂團，基本上也只是在重新玩過前人的東西而已，即便是個人最愛的Red Hot Chili Peppers也是如此，有時候看著John Fruciante的solo，都會有種錯覺是不是Jimi Hendrix附身了。不過不要誤會喔，並不是在貶低Red Hot Chili Peppers或其他的樂團，John Fruciante永遠是我心目中第一名的吉他英雄，而他和Flea的組合簡直就是天下無敵！並且，不管是Jimi或是John都不僅僅只是在賣弄技巧而已，在他們將電吉他的魔力發揮到極致的同時，那些無法再被重複的solo可都是扎扎實實的在表達著他們在那當下的"spiritual status". And that's why ppl were driven crazy when they were at the same cahnnel with them.

I can't believe the news today Oh, I cant close my eyes and make it go away How long... How long must we sing this song? How long? how long... 不敢相信今天所看到的新聞 我沒辦法閉上眼睛假裝一切都沒發生 還要多久呢？ 這首歌還需要唱多久呢？
cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight... 今晚，我們是團結一致的。
Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street But I wont heed the battle call It puts my back up Puts my back up against the wall 破碎的酒瓶散落在孩童的腳邊 屍體橫臥在死巷中 我多麼不想理會那戰爭的號角，那簡直讓我窒息地貼在牆上
Sunday, bloody Sunday 血腥的星期天
And the battles just begun Theres many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart 戰爭才剛開始 我只看到了許多人痛苦的失去一切，告訴我究竟是誰贏了?! 戰爭只是在我們心中挖下了深深的壕溝 將父母、孩子、兄弟、姊妹們無情的拆散
Sunday, bloody Sunday 血腥的星期天
How long... How long must we sing this song? How long? how long... 還要多久呢？ 這首歌還需要唱多久呢？還要多久呢？
cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight... Tonight... 今晚，我們是團結一致的，就在今晚。
Sunday, bloody Sunday 血腥的星期天
Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Wipe your tears away I wipe your tears away I wipe your blood shot eyes 將眼淚從你的眼中擦乾 將你的眼淚擦乾，將你的眼淚擦乾 我會將你的眼淚擦乾 擦乾你血紅眼睛中的眼淚。
Sunday, bloody Sunday 血腥的星期天
And its true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV reality And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die 然而人們對於這一切是麻木免疫的 血淋淋的事實在人們眼中就好像小說一樣的虛幻，似乎在電視上所放送的才是真實。 然而現在有好幾百萬的人正在哭泣著 而他們將在我們明天平靜的生活中死去
The real battle yet begun To claim the victory Jesus won 真正的戰爭已經開始了
那是一場以上帝為名的戰爭。
(這一句不知道怎麼翻...)
I don't feel alright in spite of these comforting sounds you make. I don't feel alright because you make promises that you break. 我的心情不好 儘管聽到了你安慰的話語 我的心情不好 因為你立下了你打破的誓言 Into your house, why don't we share our solitude? Nothing is pure anymore but solitude. It's hard to make sense, feels as if I'm sensing you through a lens. If someone else comes, I'd just sit here listening to the drums. 當我進入你的心 為何不能分享我們的孤獨 沒有任何事物比孤獨更純粹 這很難讓人理解 彷彿是我透過透鏡看著你一樣 如果有人已住在你心裡 那我就坐在這兒靜靜地聆聽鼓聲
(以下為完整版歌詞)
Previously I never called it solitude. And probably you know all the dirty shows I've put on. Blunted and exhausted like anyone. Honestly I tried to avoid it. Honestly.
我從不知道這就是孤獨.... 你或許看到了 那些因為我的遲鈍而做出來的蠢事 但是我真的試著去避免犯錯了,真的.... Back when we were kids, we would always know when to stop. And now all the good kids are messing up. Nobody has gained or accomplished anything.
第一首是Joy Division的經典曲目 Love will tear us apart。Ian Curtis滄桑的嗓音完全無法讓人聯想到當時的他不過二十出頭。然而上吊自殺時的他也才不過24歲。
第二首是U2的 I will follow，這是Bono寫給在父親葬禮上腦溢血過世的母親的歌，也是U2在往後每次演唱會上的必唱曲目之一（就我所知另一首是Sunday Bloody Sunday）。1980年的歌，跟我一樣老，算是U2非常早期的作品，從MV可以看到將近三十年前團員青澀的模樣，這同時也是U2拍攝的第一支MV。
When you were here before Couldnt look you in the eye Youre just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world And I wish I was special Youre so fuckin special
But Im a creep, Im a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I dont belong here.
I dont care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When Im not around Youre so fuckin special I wish I was special
But Im a creep, Im a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I dont belong here.
Shes running out again, Shes running out Shes run run run running out...
Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want Youre so fuckin special I wish I was special...
But Im a creep, Im a weirdo, What the hell am I doing here? I dont belong here. I dont belong here.
What a drag it is The shape I'm in Well I go out somewhere Then I come home again
I light a cigarette ‘Cause I can't get no sleep Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio That means that much to me
All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There's trouble in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy Happiness came and went I got the movie script But I don't know what it meant
I light a cigarette ‘Cause I can't get no sleep Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio That means that much to me Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio That I can believe in
All my life Watching America All my life There’s panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There’s trouble in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There’s panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy Yes I got the news When you get it straight, but stand up you just can’t lose Give you my confidence, all my faith in life
Dont stand me up Don’t let me down I need you tonight To hold me, say you’ll be here To hold me, say you’ll be here To hold me, say you’ll be here To hold..
All my life Watching America All my life There’s panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh is’s disgusting in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh
So how does it feel So how does it feel So how does it feel So how does it feel
