One Last Dance – Badly Drawn Boy
Jan 4th, 2007 by Ashley
拿到我的車, 拿到我的 CD. 拚命地聽 BDB, 一次又一次. 除了快節奏的 Born in the U.K. 之外, 最後一首 One Last Dance 也讓我非常喜愛. 尤其是歌詞, 前半段 deja vu, 後半段卻是路遙歸夢難成的 “I want that too.”
chorus 說 I’ll be your Troy Donahue If you’ll be my Sandra Dee, 我一直有點困惑. 明明清純甜美的 Sandra Dee 只跟 Bobby Darin 有過一段短暫的婚姻關係, 怎麼又跟 Troy Donahue 扯上關係了. 結果原來是因為 Troy Donahue 跟 Sandra Dee 在當時都被定位為 teen idol, 而他們在 1959年一部由 Sloan Wilson 的小說改編的電影 A Summer Place 飾演年輕戀人. A Summer Place 這個故事現在看來也許平凡無奇, 但在保守的五零年代, 離婚外遇以及青少年性行為都被視為醜聞, 這個故事讓人們再度討論是非黑白倫理道德以及… 註定沒救的東西, 是否仍應該死守.
As we lay here tonight
Please forgive me girl if I say the future is not bright
But please take my hand and we’ll have one last dance in the place where we first met eyes
Holy city zoo
I recall the name of the place where I first saw you
With your eyes so kind
And your smile so bright
I just wanted to take you home
Where you go I wanna go
What you do I wanna do
I’ll be your Troy Donnahue
If you’ll be my Sandra Dee
It’s a trivial pursuit
But I know if I fall on my heart
I’ll be with you
But please understand I am just a man
And I need you to take me home
We’re together now
Wanna change my shoes so I feel like you somehow
Need to breathe your breathe and caress your dress
I’ll be with you for quite some time
I’ll take you where you wanna go
Tell me where
I wanna know
I will just go with the flow
As long as I’m there with you
Are the kids ok
Did they find the time to give the call today
But my hearts with yours
I am keeping score of the things that I have done wrong
Another funeral
All the people I know are beginning to fade away
And I have to say that at least today its beginning to get me down
To this day I’m lovin you
We know what we wanna do
I am your Troy Donnahue
And you are my Sandra Dee
Now I know you well
I still love you adore you I need you more than then
With your eyes still kind and your smile so bright
I still want to take you home
And I will do all that i can
You’re my women I’m your man
And if we still don’t have a plan
We’ll listen to Thunderoad
