Midnight Shift - John Cooper Clarke
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
There's a body in the basement
地下室里有具尸体
The TV's full of guns
电视里充斥着枪声
In the room adjacent
隔壁房间里
Cold water runs
冷水在流淌
The sound of cisterns
水箱的声响
Sizzling bacon or chips
煎培根或薯条的滋滋声
Footsteps in the distance
远处传来脚步声
She's working on the midnight shift
她正在上着午夜班
The room is getting colder
房间渐渐变得冰冷
Start jumping Jack
开始跳跃吧
You're the bluebird over her shoulder
你是她肩头的蓝鸟
The monkey on her back
也是她背负的枷锁
She left your taxi fare
她留下了你的车费
There's a message in the gift
礼物中藏着讯息
You got more than she could spare
你得到的比她所能给予的更多
She's working on the midnight shift
她正在上着午夜班
Feedback screams on a twisted riff
扭曲的吉他回响着刺耳啸叫
Luxembourg by night
卢森堡的夜色笼罩
The cheapjack dream of the midnight shift
午夜班的廉价美梦
Doesn't work out right
终是破碎成空
He's got to shoot he's got to shoot
他必须开枪 他必须开枪
Put his face about
四处抛头露面
It's like the long abandoned baseball boot
就像被遗弃多年的棒球靴
With the tounge hanging out
鞋舌耷拉在外边
The perfume of the essence rare
稀世香水的芬芳
That lingers in the lift
在电梯间萦绕不散
He's a prince among the peasants where
他是农夫中的王子
She's working on the nidnight shift
而她困在午夜班煎熬
You're gonna find her stuck in the lift
你会发现她困在电梯
To the wonderland of vice
通往堕落的天堂
You're gonna find her on the midnight shift
你会遇见她在午夜班
With feet like blocks of ice
双脚如冰块般寒冷
She carried water for the mainman
她为主管端茶送水
She had to walk the streets
不得不流落街头
She married a door-to-door salesman
嫁给走街串巷的推销员
Who worked away all week
他却整周在外奔波
She lived with an empty chair
空椅子是她唯一的伴侣
Until the final rift
直到关系彻底破裂
She didn't have a thing to wear
穷得连件像样衣服都没有
She had to work on the midnight shift
只能在午夜班苦苦挣扎
You're gonna find her frozen stiff
你会发现她已冻僵
You think you been hurt
你以为你已受尽伤害
You're gonna find her on the midnight shift
你会遇见她在午夜班
Standing in the dirt
站在尘土中
You like to put yourself about
你喜欢四处招摇
Like the main man about town
像城里的大人物
She needs somebody to help her out
她需要有人伸出援手
But that's where you keep falling down
但你却总是让她失望
Was there ever a thing so fair
可曾有过如此美好的事物
That smashed itself to bits
却将自己粉碎成灰
Sometimes you get nowhere
有时你徒劳无功
Working on the midnight shift
在午夜班苦苦挣扎
A million tears gonna tear her apart
千万泪水将她撕裂
Eyes that never shut
双眼永不阖上
A million spears gonna pierce your heart
万箭穿心般痛楚
It's the death of a thousand cuts
如同千刀万剐的死亡
A million souls all running scared
千万灵魂在恐惧中奔逃
Or else they only drift
或只是随波逐流
You won't find her anywhere
你无处寻觅她的踪影
She's working on the midnight shift
她正在上着午夜班
You're gonna find her on the hit list
你会在猎杀名单上发现她
Of a cheapskate beastly rag
被刻薄小报肆意践踏
You're gonna find her on the midnight shift
你会遇见她在午夜班
What a f**kin' drag
这该死的煎熬
You really can't stop now
此刻你已无法回头
The visitors arrive
访客们陆续到来
Here come the cops now
警察正逼近门口
Crunching up the drive
碾过车道发出声响
Flat footsteps on the stairs
楼梯间沉重的脚步声
Bad news travels swift
噩耗总是传得飞快
Sometimes you get nowhere
有时你徒劳无功
Working on the midnight shift
在午夜班苦苦挣扎
