Town Called Malice
Written and composs by Paul Weller
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
Cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus
Cos those rosey days are few
And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,
Cos time is short and life is cruel
But it's up to us to change
This town called Malice.
最好别幻想平静的生活了
这是你永远不会知道的东西
放弃追逐离开的巴士
因为美好生活总是有限
然后 停止为你没有做过的事情道歉
因为时间太少 生活残忍
但改变在于我们
这座恶城
Rows and rows of disused milk
stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come
fast and furious
In a town called malice
Oooh yeah
一排排被丢弃的牛奶
慢慢在乳品厂变质
家庭主妇们攥着空奶瓶拦在怀中
将旧情书挂成一排晾干
这已足够让你眼眶湿润时停止相信那些
在这座恶城
Ba ba ba ba bada baa
badaba bada ba ooh
Ba ba ba ba bada baa
badaba bada ba
Struggle after struggle - year after year
That atmosphere's a fine blend of ice -
I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called malice
Oooh yeah
挣扎又挣扎 年复一年
气氛就像冰窖
我几乎被冻成石头
在这座恶城
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
gets dashed against the co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear
It's a big decision
in a town called malice
Oooh yeah
整个街道用来买周日的烤牛肉的资金被机构分走
用来支持削减啤酒和青少年的新手刹的提案
这可是个大决议
在这座恶城
The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere -
just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings -
lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will -
but I'd sooner put some joy back
in this town called malice
Yeaahh
蒸汽机车的鬼魂萦绕在我的卡车边
卡车此时没了方向
只是漫无目的地前行
游乐园的孩子还有吱吱作响的秋千
在微风中哑然失笑
我可以这个持续数小时 我真的会这么做
但我很快又欢乐起来
在这座恶城
Ooh yeaahh
Town called Malice yeaahh
Ooh yeah
A town called Malice yeaahh
