「耶穌與瑪莉之鍊Jesus and Mary Chain」,從團名開始就舉著大不敬旗幟,所到之處,混亂隨之而來。龐克運動之後,Sex Pistol以降,還有這號痞子團。演唱會從頭到尾背對著觀眾、也不說話,整個演唱會經常只有10分鐘,卻是一片噪音音牆,每每引起觀眾暴動...。
然而,從第一張專輯Psychocandy開始,幾乎每個樂評人都舉白旗投降,Jesus and Mary Chain把The Velvet Underground(有人有心得哦!)的White Noise包裹一層糖衣,買張CD或Tape來聽,就好像用保險套一樣安全(哦,不安全?我哪知...),天知道他們引起了什麼樣的暴動?我只覺得,真是天殺的好聽!
爺酥與馬力是有關係的,甜美與邪惡是雙胞胎,不會吧,你不知道?!來認識一下:
Don't wanna hear about your sins
Dirty little stories about needles and skin
Don't wanna hear about how you scored
The guys who tripped, how you're dress got torn
Don't wanna speak in the same old tongue
Don't wanna bite and I don't want burned
Don't wanna live in the same old place
Got new ideas and I got new taste
Come on you are my friend
Some things will never end
We done our time and we had some fun
I want to get things done
Don't wanna hear about your sins
Dirty little stories about needles and skin
Don't wanna hear about that stuff
You've done too much but it's not enough
One more kiss turns to one more hit
Well I don't feel like kissing on it
One more hit turns to one more crash
You move too slow but it's much too fast
Come on you are my friend
Some things will never end
We done our time and we had some fun
My life has just begun
This is a song about an innocent
Who died at the hands of a desperate man
He trusted those who he thought he knew
He trusted those who he looked up to
I'll never forget the joy in his face
He'd laugh and he'd cry and he'd ruin my place
He'd drive me crazy, and he'd drive me wild
I used to scream and shout all day long
Now I hope you know this song
Is about a child who now has gone
And other children like him, too
Abused and used by what adults do
So don't tell me about politics
Or all the problems of our economics
When you can't look after what you can't own
You scream and shout all day long
P.S.本篇放的封套圖不是All Day Long的Brotherhood專輯,而是我最喜歡的封套,他們的首張大碟Movement。
When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John,
'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
And it's makin' big waves.
Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains
Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou
So the Powers That Be left me here to do the thinkin'
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wonderin' what to do
And the closer they got,
The more those feelings grew.
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin'
He told me, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin'
But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin'
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why.
Then I saw black,
And my face splashed in the sky.
Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Think of me as one you'd never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love,
I know I'll miss her.
If your mem'ry serves you well,
I was goin' to confiscate your lace,
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case.
If I knew for sure that it was yours . . .
But it was oh so hard to tell.
But you knew that we would meet again,
If your mem'ry serves you well.
This wheel's on fire,
Rolling down the road,
Best notify my next of kin,
This wheel shall explode!
如果西洋音樂界有一位歌手地位可以比擬切哥拉瓦,那應就是Bob Marley。愛咪囈語隨便記提到No women no cry的意思應是「女人不要哭」,而這首歌常被解讀為「沒有女人,就沒有眼淚」、「如果沒有女人,就不會流淚」或「你沒有女人,也別哭」...,但我以前總以為是「沒有女人是不哭的」,我還是覺得比「女人不要哭」更...

大概歌詞:
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Seh, seh, said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba, obba, observing the hypocrites
As the would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears, no woman no cry
Seh, seh, said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
