A Penny for the Band

Another Shirley Temple
新一代秀蘭鄧波兒
Another Caine and Able
新一代該隱和亞伯
There's nothing out the window,
窗外空空蕩盪
And nothing on the table.
桌子上也是如此
This life is like a set list
這種生活就像設置好的列表
Scrawled across the nation
任由天馬行空地胡亂塗寫
If I miss you at the soundcheck,
如果我在試音的時候思念你
I'll see you at the station.
我就會去車站看看你的身影
There's a beast inside of me,
我的心裡住著一隻野獸
And he's not bad company
他並不是個差勁的伙伴
But he speaks in tongues I can never understand,
但我總不能理解從他口中說出的話
He says it's one more show and a penny for the band.
他說這不僅是花一分錢買來的一場樂隊表演
Keep everybody dancing,
讓每個人舞動身體
Keep everybody spending,
讓每個人歡度時光
I know I am not a good man,
我知道我還不夠優秀
But I can keep pretending.
但是我會保持謙遜
I leaned in the doorway
我倚靠在門口
Your dress is like a dark vale,
你的裙裝就像一條晦暗不明的溪谷
But I'm not going your way,
但我不會跟隨你的腳步
I'm going back to Parkdale.
我將回到柏岱爾
With a bottle of Burgundy,
帶著一瓶勃艮第葡萄酒
Where she waits on the balcony,
她還在那兒的陽台上等待著
With a northern wish and a daisy in her hand,
手中捧著一束雛菊，帶著來自北方的祝福
To send me all her love and a penny for the band.
給我帶來所有的愛和對樂隊的心意
There's a beast inside of me,
我心裡住著一隻野獸
And I miss my family,
我思念我的家人
All these pages and these stages made of sand,
思念過去記錄下的點滴和並不豪華的舞台
Still, it's one more show and a penny for the band,
這不僅是花一分錢買來的一場樂隊表演
One more show and a penny for the band.
不僅是花一分錢買來的一場樂隊表演
