听歌学英语:Silent all these years(Tori Amos)

Tori Amos原名是Myra Ellen Amos。从小她的音乐天份就十分明显，两岁半开始弹钢琴，四岁在教堂唱诗班演唱，五岁收到巴尔的摩Peabody音乐学院的学习邀请。1991年Amos的处女大碟《Little Earthquake》进占英国金榜第14名,其中的单曲"Silent All These Years"获得MTV音乐录像带大奖最佳女歌手、新进、创意与摄影4项提名。

我们很多人都听过孙燕姿唱过的一首英文歌“Silent all these years”,那也正是王菲唱过的“冷战”

　　Excuse me but can I be you for a while

My dog won't bite if you sit real still

I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again

Yeah I can hear that

Been saved again by the garbage truck

I got something to say you know

But nothing comes

Yes I know what you think of me

You never shut-up

Yeah I can hear that

　　But what if I'm a mermaid 1

In these jeans of his

With her name still on it

Hey but I don't care

Cause sometimes

I said sometimes

I hear my voice

And it's been here

Silent All These Years

　　So you found a girl

Who thinks really deep thoughts

What's so amazing about really deep thoughts

Boy you best praya that I bleed real soon

How's that thought for you

My scream got lost in a paper cup

You think there's a heaven

Where some screams have gone

I got 25 bucks 2 and a cracker 3

Do you think it's enough

To get us there

　　Cause what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his

With her name still on it

Hey but I don't care

Cause sometimes

I said sometimes

I hear my voice

And it's been here

Silent All These...

　　Years go by

Will I still be waiting

For somebody else to understand

Years go by

If I'm stripped of my beauty

And the orange clouds

Raining in head

Years go by

Will I choke on my tears

Till finally there is nothing left

One more casualty

You know we're too easy Easy Easy

　　Well I love the way we communicate

Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape

Let's hear what you think of me now

But baby don't look up

The sky is falling

Your mother shows up in a nasty dress

It's your turn now to stand where I stand

Everybody lookin' at you here

Take hold of my hand

Yeah I can hear them

　　But what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his

With her name still on it

Hey but I don't care

Cause sometimes

I said sometimes

I hear my voice [x3]

　　And it's been here

Silent All These Years

I've been here

Silent All These Years
