歷史的眼淚

Title: 歷史的眼淚(哇…爛晒字)

和筠MSN，談起我們都是聽BRIT-POP長大的，不過我也只是食了BRIT-POP的水尾，在它最美好的年代，我沒趕得上，但至少沒有遺憾吧?(就是差Butler和Brett一起那場LIVE吧...)

但聽BRIT-POP，我應該是極罕有沒有聽OASIS的歌的人，是幾乎沒有聽過(我記得WONDERWALL的chorus 既....但只係無意中聽到...

我是主打suede，其餘幾隊勁旅radiohead，blur，the verve等都是平分秋色，各有喜愛...

今天反而想講仍舊是被忽略了的Pulp XD
早在BRIT POP浪潮前，PULP逕自捱了十幾年幾乎無人賞識，但在BRIT POP浪潮中如一隻馬，主音JARVIS COCKER CAMP爆的造手和舞台動作，真係一絕!
不過我都係近聽幾年先識欣賞XDDD


CAMP佬JARVIS COCKER


佢既反斗事蹟真係不得不提1996年舉行的Brit Awards...正當Michael Jackson係台上唱到興烚烚之際，呢條友上台跳DISCO!


Jarvis Cocker Interrupts Michael Jackson's Earth Song 1996

點解無啦啦要走上台呢?當然有佢既原因既XD(雖然吾係個個接受到...)


Earth song

其實反而可以去睇番MJ首EARTH SONG，個期MJ唱埋D 「we are the world」「heal the world」之類歌曲，突然大慈善家咁款，當然，我都明，其實無理由懷疑人地既善意既...不過MJ呢個人相當複雜。
佢由被壓迫者(人)，人工漂白變成統治者(白人)，有一期西方社會好似突然發現世界好多災難(80s-90s)，搞鬼咁多d 慈善演唱，真係神又係你鬼又係你，唔係呢班西方國家周圍打人d地方殖民洗搞成咁?不過今日唔係講呢d....



MJ係90年代有幾紅應該大家都知道，個期就係咁唱呢D歌，簡直以為自己係上帝以高無上...所以JARVIS COCKER係對MJ作出抗議。
不過最後就被警方以企圖傷害兒童的名義逮捕XD|||



PULP既最有名大作一定係COMMON PEOPLE


Common people / pulp

COMMON PEOPLE應該係指工人階級，首歌講個有錢女想同窮人拍拖過窮人既生活，因為佢以為窮係好型既事。
JARVIS正正就是出身工人階段。


找到翻譯自己看吧:
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.

She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-cola.

She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.

Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me.

But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
I want to live with common people, I want to live with common people [etc..]


【歌詞中譯】 翻譯：國立中央大學英文系副教授林文淇

　　她來自希臘，她渴求新知。她在聖馬丁學院主修雕塑，我就是在那裡引起她的注意。她告訴我她老爸錢多的是。我說：「既然如此，我要點萊姆酒加可樂。」她 說：「沒問題」。三十秒後，她說：「我想要過普通人的生活，我想要做普通人做的事，我想要跟普通人上床，我想要跟像你這樣的普通人上床。」她都這麼說了， 我還能怎麼樣？我說：「我來想想看我能幫什麼忙。」

　　我帶她到超級市場，我不知道為什麼，只是我總得找個地方開始，所以她的體驗就從那裡開始。我說：「假裝妳一毛錢也沒有。」她聽了笑了出來，說：「喔你 真好笑！」我說：「是啊。可是我沒有看到店裡有誰在笑。」妳真的確定妳想要過普通人的生活，妳想要看普通人看到的一切，妳想要跟普通人上床，妳想要跟像我 這樣的普通人上床？但是她沒有聽懂我的話，她只是拉著我的手直笑。

　　租間在商店樓上的公寓，把頭髮剪短去找個工作。抽些煙，打幾回彈子，假裝妳從來沒上過學。即使如此，妳還是不可能變成普通人。因為當妳晚上躺在床上， 看著蟑螂一隻一隻爬在牆上，如果妳打通電話給你老爸，他可以立刻終結一切。是的，妳永遠也無法過普通人的生活，妳永遠也無法做普通人做的那些事，妳永遠不 會像普通人那樣經歷失敗。妳永遠不會看著妳的生活從妳眼前慢慢消失，然後去跳舞、喝酒、做愛，因為妳根本無能為力去挽回。

　　跟這些普通人一起歌唱吧，跟著一起唱也許可以體驗一點他們的生活。跟這些普通人一起笑吧，跟著一起笑，雖然他們是在笑妳，還有妳的愚蠢的行為，因為妳以為貧窮很酷。就像一隻躺在角落的狗，他們會毫無預警地咬人。小心！他們會把妳咬得體無完膚。因為大家都討厭觀光客，特別是那種以為這一切都很可笑，還有炸薯塊（勞工階級的便宜食物）的油漬在浴缸裡泡一泡就可以洗掉的人。

　　妳永遠不會了解過一個沒有意義，沒有主權，沒有方向的一生是像什麼樣子。妳會驚訝世上竟然有這樣的人，而且他們的生命燃燒得如此閃耀，妳只能在一旁百思不解。

　　租間在商店樓上的公寓，把頭髮剪短去找個工作．．．。(副歌)

　　我想要跟像你這樣的普通人共同生活（延續）。
