king of the road
电影《断背山》的插曲，翻唱的是60年代乡村音乐巨匠罗格-米勒（Roger Miller）的名作《公路之王》（King of the Road）。——一首人在旅途的歌。没有电话，没有泳池，没有宠物，一辆能卖也能租的拖车，一个穷途末路又无所不能的男人。“我知道每一辆火车上的每一位机械师，以及他们的孩子，他们孩子的名字。我知道每一个村庄的刊物，以及周围没人的时候，哪扇门是没上锁的”……
King Of The Road
Rufus Wainwright
Trailers for sale or rent. Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets. I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but two hours of pushing broom.
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means. King of the road
Third boxcar, midnight train. Destination...bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes. I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found. Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means. King of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout 1 in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent. Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets. I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but two hours of pushing broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means. King of the road
