A Penny for the Band - Justin Rutledge

Another Shirley Temple

新一代的秀兰邓波儿

Another Cain and Abel

新一代的该隐和亚伯

There's nothing out the window

窗外什么都没有

And nothing on the table

桌子上也空无一物

This life is like a set list

这种生活就好比一份设置好的列表

Scrawled across the nation

只需大范围涂鸦几笔即可

If I miss you at the soundcheck

如果我有想你的念头

I'll see you at the station

There's a beast inside of me

我就去车站看看你

我的内心有一只猛兽

And he's not bad company

它倒不失为一个好的同伴

But he speaks in tongues

但它总是胡言乱语

I can never understand

He says it's one more show

我从没理解它的心意

它说 再来一次表演

And a penny for the band

给这乐队一便士

Keep everybody dancing

让每个人都跳起来

Keep everybody spending

让每个人都尽情挥霍

I know I'm not a good man

But I can keep pretending

我知道我不是一个好人

善于伪装

You're leaning in the doorway

你没来之前或许已有所耳闻

Your dress is like a dark vale

给自己扮上幽暗的伪装 举止捉摸不透

But I'm not going your way

I'm going back to Parkdale

我并不会与你斤斤计较

我要回到帕克代尔

With a bottle of Burgundy

路上带一瓶勃艮第葡萄酒

Where she waits on the balcony

那里有她等候在阳台

With a northern wish

手捧一束菊花

And a daisy in her hand

To send me all her love

怀揣一个源自北方的愿望

请寄给我她所有的爱

And a penny for the band

给这乐队一便士

There's a beast inside of me

我的内心有一只猛兽

And I miss my family

我开始想念我的家人

All these pages and

这些记录

These stages made of sand

和辉煌的舞台宛若手中沙

Still it's one more show

但仍然 再来一次表演

And a penny for the band

给这乐队一便士

One more show and a penny for the band

再来一次表演 给这乐队一便士
