Midnight Shift (John Peel Session 15th March 1982) - John Cooper Clarke
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
There's a body in the basement
地下室里躺着一个人影
The TV's full of guns
电视里充斥着枪声
In the room adjacent
在隔壁的房间
Cold water runs
冷水不停地流
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
她在午夜班辛勤工作
The room is getting colder
房间渐渐冰冷刺骨
Start jumping Jack
开始跳起机械舞步
You're the bluebird over her shoulder
你是她肩头的蓝知更鸟
The monkey on her back
也是她背负的沉重枷锁
She left your taxi fare
她留下你的打车钱
There's a message in the gift
礼物里藏着未尽之言
You got more than she could spare
你得到的已超出她所能给予
She's working on the midnight shift
她在午夜班辛勤工作
Feedback screams on a twisted riff
扭曲的吉他回响着刺耳尖叫
Luxembourg by night
卢森堡的夜色笼罩
The cheapjack dream of the midnight shift
午夜轮班的廉价美梦
Doesn't work out right
终究没能如愿以偿
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
鞋舌耷拉在外头
The perfume of the essence rare
稀世香氛的气息萦绕
That lingers in the lift
在电梯间久久不散
He's a prince among the peasants where
他是农夫堆里的王子
She's working on the nidnight shift
而她正熬着午夜班
You're gonna find her stuck in the lift
你会发现她困在电梯
To the wonderland of vice
通往堕落仙境
You're gonna find her on the midnight shift
你会遇见值夜班的她
With feet like blocks of ice
双脚冻成冰砖
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
整周在外奔波
She lived with an empty chair
守着空荡的座椅
Until the final rift
直到感情破裂
She didn't have a thing to wear
衣衫褴褛无物蔽体
She had to work on the midnight shift
只能在午夜轮班劳作
You're gonna find her frozen stiff
你会发现她冻得僵硬
You think you been hurt
你以为自己受过伤
You're gonna find her on the midnight shift
你会遇见值夜班的她
Standing in the dirt
站在尘土中
You like to put yourself about
你喜欢四处张扬
Like the main man about town
像个城里的大人物
She needs somebody to help her out
她需要有人伸出援手
But that's where you keep falling down
可你却总是让她失望
Was there ever a thing so fair
可曾有过如此美好的事物
That smashed itself to bits
却将自己粉碎成碎片
Sometimes you get nowhere
有时你徒劳无功
Working on the midnight shift
在午夜班辛勤工作
A million tears gonna tear her apart
千万泪水将她撕裂
Eyes that never shut
双眼从未合上
A million spears gonna pierce your heart
千万长矛刺穿你的心
It's the death of a thousand cuts
这是千刀万剐的死亡
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 find her anywhere
你随处都能遇见她
She's working on the midnight shift
她在午夜班辛勤工作
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
在那吝啬野兽的破报纸里
You're gonna find her on the midnight shift
你会遇见值夜班的她
What a drag
多么煎熬
You really can't stop now
此刻你无法停下
The visitors arrive
访客们陆续到来
Here come the cops now
警察也接踵而至
Crunching up the drive
碾过车道的声音
Flat footsteps on the stairs
楼梯上沉重的脚步声
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
在午夜班辛勤工作
