Elvis Costello 二曲

喜歡上Elvis Costello,很大原因是因為以下兩曲。兩曲都和電影有關,一是Austin Powers,一是Notting Hill。每次聽到它們都會想起電影的情節,又或者是每次看到電影,腦中就會譜起這兩首歌曲。

這兩曲分別是"I'll Never Fall In Love Again"和"She"。兩曲都是cover version。前者由Burt Bacharach所寫,後者則是Charles Aznavour。我沒聽過原來的版本,不過是被Elvis的歌聲深深的感動。

She Lyrics

She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She
She, oh she
