音乐天堂金曲回顾
Paula Cole - Where Have All The Cowboys Gone
"This Fire" (Wea 1996)
from Music Heave vol.21
那个时候MUSIC HEAVEN该是在上升时期吧,因为几个写手的加盟,越做越好。第21期鼓吹电子的一期,那一辑里收录不少电子,不过当时颇为喜欢的却都是吉他音乐,包括这一首Female vocal folk,急速的念白和干脆的女声吟唱相得益彰,张弛有度。歌词是关于中产生活的,女而不权的女性主义,只是MTV拍的却是很小资感觉的一片迷乱,其实以为那种反讽般的恶意搞笑应该很符合这首歌的主题。Paula Cole也算是当时很红火的Lilith fair的女唱将之一,后来又无声无息,暗淡下去了。
Paula Cole - Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?
Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorch,
Would you like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills
CHORUS:
Where is my John Wayne
Where is my Prarie Sun
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone
Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills
Chorus
I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me
Say goodbyes
Say goodbyes
Say goodbyes
We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took the job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
Chorus
Where is my Marlboro man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Yippee yo, yippee yeah |
