Paint a Vulgar Picture (2011 Remaster)

Paint A Vulgar Picture - The Smiths
畫幅鄙俗的畫—史密斯樂隊

唱片公司會議上
At the record company meeting
他們掌中玩弄著一顆死星

哦，他們精心編排的計劃
On their hands - a dead star
哦，他們令人作嘔的貪婪

唱片公司聚會上
And oh the plans they weave
他們掌中玩弄著一顆死星

這些溜鬚拍馬的人渣吵嚷著：
And oh the sickening greed
“我先認識他的！我和他關係可好了！ ”

重新發行，重新包裝，重新包裝啊
At the record company party
重新估價這些歌曲

拍張照片，搞個雙麵包裝
On their hands - a dead star
添首新歌（加個俗氣的徽章）

播放列表上全是頂級好歌
The sycophantic slags all say :
“討好他們，取悅他們”

“諂媚他們”
'I knew him first and I knew him well'
（很不幸，這是你的工作）

但其實你可以拒絕
Re-issue Re-package Re-package
如果你真想的話
Re-evaluate the songs
其實你可以拒絕

如果你真想的話
Double -pack with a photograph
BPI ，MTV， BBC

“討好他們，取悅他們”
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)
（很不幸，這是你的命運）

但其實你可以拒絕
A-list playlist
如果你真想的話

其實你可以逃離
'Please them please them '
是不是？
'Please them '
試音時我輕輕碰了碰你
(sadly THIS was your life)
可你並未發覺

我在內心乞求，“帶我走吧
But you could have said no
無論你去向何方”
If youd wanted to
但對你來說，我毫無個性

卑躬屈膝，無聊透頂
You could have said no
醜陋新房中的一個可憐孩子罷了

懵懂天真
If youd wanted to
無知幼稚

哦
BPI MTV BBC
精選集，暢銷集

充分滿足市場需求
'Please them Please them '
把它們塞進不同的唱片套
(sadly this was your life)
兩張都買的樂迷感覺受到欺騙

野心家又有了新的生財之道
But you could have said no
世界巡演（“媒體妓女” ）

“取悅比利時的媒體”
If youd wanted to
（這是你的使命）

可當虧本的時候
You could have walked away
哦這是可能的

寶貝你只是沒有掙夠
Couldnt you
試音時我跟在你身後

你和我一樣
I touched you at the soundcheck
讓大眾歡欣的東西

卻讓我們飽受傷害
You had no real way of knowing
於是在醜陋新房我的臥室內

我舞至雙膝跪地
In my heart I begged 'Take me with you
但我和我的真愛

從此再不相見
I dont care where youre going '
唱片公司會議上

最終他們掌中玩弄著一個死去的明星
But to you I was faceless
但他們再也不能在我眼前玷污你了
I was fawning I was boring
他們再也不許碰你了
Just a child from those ugly new houses
親愛的他們再也不能傷害你了

他們再也不許碰你了
Who could never begin to know
但我和我的真愛

從此再不相見
Who could never really know

Oh
Best of Most of
Satiate the need

Slip them into different sleeves

Buy both and feel deceived

Climber - new entry re -entry

World tour ('media whore')

'Please the Press in Belgium '

(THIS was your life )

And when it fails to recoup
Well maybe :

You just havent earned it yet baby

I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck

Youre just the same as I am

What makes most people feel happy

Leads us headlong into harm

So in my bedroom in those ugly new houses

I danced my legs down to the knees

But me and my true love

Will never meet again

At the record company meeting

On their hands - at last - a dead star
But they can never taint you in my eyes

No they can never touch you now

No they cannot hurt you my darling

They cannot touch you now

But me and my true love

Will never meet again
