搖滾世代 ( 一 )

前幾天趁週末假期看了幾片DVD, 其中一部是記錄世界著名音樂祭之一的 Glastonbury Festival ( 片名 "Glastonbury" 中譯: "搖滾世代" )是相當有意思的片子。



BBC 詳實記錄這即將邁入40周年同時也是世上最重要的音樂祭典,而個人觀看完整部影片的紀錄過程後,內心也忽然跟著澎湃激昂了起來, 所以誠心建議喜愛搖滾的同好者可以看看此片,也順道感染一下樂迷們的熱情瘋狂。

另外,附上一曲95年 Glastonbury Festival 的精采片段, 這是由英倫著名樂團 Pulp 所演出的歌曲《common people 》。


本為單曲發行的《common people》,甫一推出即受到全英上下廣大的樂迷們的歡迎,
而當時也因為此曲所造成的轟動,進而讓這首《common people》瞬間成了全英無產階級者奉為圭臬的國歌。因此在 95' Glastonbury上也就出現十分震憾感人的萬人大合唱場面。

(附上中英文歌詞,請大家跟著Pulp大聲高唱吧!)


Pulp - Common People ( live at Glastonbury )( 哈~Jarvis Cocker 很愛演耶...)


She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola
She said "fine"
And then in 30 seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you"
Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do"

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
I said "pretend you've got no money"
but she just laughed
and said "oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure

you want to live like common people
you want to see whatever common people see
you want to sleep with common people
you want to sleep with common people like me?"
But she didn't understand
she just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along although they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite you and never warn you
Look out
they'll tear your insides out
'cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks
it's all such a laugh
yeah and the chip stain's grease
will come out in the bath

You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright
whilst you can only wonder why
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
'because there's nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you.....



她來自希臘，她渴求新知。
她在聖馬丁學院主修雕塑，我就是在那裡引起她的注意。
她告訴我她老爸錢多的是。我說：「既然如此，我要點萊姆酒加可樂。」
她說：「沒問題」。
三十秒後，她說：「我想要過普通人的生活，我想要做普通人做的事，我想要跟普通人上床，我想要跟像你這樣的普通人上床。」
她都這麼說了，我還能怎麼樣？
我說：「我來想想看我能幫什麼忙。」

我帶她到超級市場，
我不知道為什麼，只是我總得找個地方開始，所以她的體驗就從那裡開始。
我說：「假裝妳一毛錢也沒有。」
她聽了笑了出來，說：「喔你真好笑！」
我說：「是啊。可是我沒有看到店裡有誰在笑。」
妳真的確定妳想要過普通人的生活，妳想要看普通人看到的一切，妳想要跟普通人上床，妳想要跟像我這樣的普通人上床？但是她沒有聽懂我的話，她只是拉著我的手直笑。

租間在商店樓上的公寓，把頭髮剪短去找個工作。
抽些煙，打幾回彈子，假裝妳從來沒上過學。即使如此，妳還是不可能變成普通人。
因為當妳晚上躺在床上，看著蟑螂一隻一隻爬在牆上，如果妳打通電話給你老爸，他可以立刻終結一切。
是的，妳永遠也無法過普通人的生活，妳永遠也無法做普通人做的那些事，妳永遠不會像普通人那樣經歷失敗。妳永遠不會看著妳的生活從妳眼前慢慢消失，然後去跳舞、喝酒、做愛，因為妳根本無能為力去挽回。

跟這些普通人一起歌唱吧，跟著一起唱也許可以體驗一點他們的生活。
跟這些普通人一起笑吧，跟著一起笑，雖然他們是在笑妳，還有妳的愚蠢的行為，因為妳以為貧窮很酷。
就像一隻躺在角落的狗，他們會毫無預警地咬人。
小心！他們會把妳咬得體無完膚。
因為大家都討厭觀光客，特別是那種以為這一切都很可笑，還有炸薯塊（勞工階級的便宜食物）的油漬在浴缸裡泡一泡就可以洗掉的人。

妳永遠不會了解過一個沒有意義，沒有主權，沒有方向的一生是像什麼樣子。
妳會驚訝世上竟然有這樣的人，而且他們的生命燃燒得如此閃耀，妳只能在一旁百思不解。

租間在商店樓上的公寓，把頭髮剪短去找個工作．．．。(副歌)

我想要跟像你這樣的普通人共同生活（延續）。
