爱上Janis Ian，唱片店盲目法则 黎文的黑胶酒馆Vol.31 - 猫王音乐台
《Aftertones - Janis Ian》
Written by：Janis Ian
Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud
The sound's a shroud
The meanings crowd
Sometimes the words are painful to the ear
They disappear and nothing's clear
Til all that's left to me are Aftertones
I take them home
We live alone
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me this song's for free
Within the memories of our life gone by
Afraid to die we learn to lie
And measure out the time in coffee spoons
In fading suns and dying moons
Til all that's left to see are Aftertones
And no one knows
Where meaning goes
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me this song's for free
And ooh I like the sound
Of harmony from time to time
I really do believe
In some kind of tomorrow
When it speaks to me
Sometimes it's all too much to say aloud
The sound's a shroud
The meanings crowd
Sometimes the words are painful to the ear
They disappear and nothing's clear
Til all that's left to me are Aftertones
I take them home
We live alone
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me this song's for free
Within the memories of our life gone by
Afraid to die we learn to lie
And measure out the time in coffee spoons
In fading suns and dying moons
Til all that's left to see are Aftertones
And no one knows
Where meaning goes
But I remember chains of melody
It pleases me this song's for free
And ooh I like the sound
《At Seventeen - Janis Ian》
I leaned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say Come dance with me
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems at seventeen
A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
Said Pity please the ones who serve
'Cause they only get what they deserve
And the rich relationed hometown queen
Marries into what she needs
With a guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly
So remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
In debentures of quality and dubious integrity
Their small town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
To those of us who knew the pain
Of valentines that never came
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
When dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me
We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
They call and say Come on dance with me
And murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me at seventee
《After 17 - 陈绮贞》
词：陈绮贞
曲：陈绮贞
一步一步走过昨天我的孩子气
我的孩子气给我勇气
每天每天电视里贩卖新的玩具
我的玩具是我的秘密
自从那一天起
我自己做决定
自从那一天起
不轻易接受谁的邀请
自从那一天起
听我说的道理
When I am after 17
一步一步走过昨天我的孩子气
孩子气保护我的身体
每天每天电视里贩卖新的玩具
我的玩具就是我自己
自从那一天起
我自己做决定
自从那一天起
不在意谁的否定
自从那一天起
听我说的道理
When I am after 17
When I am after 17
《At Seventeen(粤语版live) - At17》
I learnt the truth at seventeen
重覆某片段十数遍
昙花一开已告段落
仍能嬉笑说我未成年
重覆过每日闷透了
明天世界末日近了
如果初恋每每幻灭
还可以对现实抱怨
几多光阴也花得起
伤口偏未懂处理
遇挫折太易放弃
遇见你怕没勇气
如电话响有了生机
热切计划没结尾
耸一耸两肩 at seventeen
双恋把烦恼玩味
单恋心事多么细腻
为了爱陷入作战
外面世界亦别转了
台风饥荒也记不起
若有爱便获氧气
活著为人事 at seventeen
谁的眼角没在意你
谁的新衣未及你美
谁的脂肪似友是敌
谁都有对象在厌弃
谈天说笑太重要了
事不关己是是非非
情感喜欢重重负荷
钱包却每月在叹气
寂寞若是游戏规则
不甘心但必需配合
大串秘密没答案
面对诱惑易上当
如倦透了蒙头大睡
直至被内没氧气
Everybody seems at seventeen
《Society's Child - Janis Ian》
Come to my door baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mother went to answer you know
That you looked so fine
Now I could understand your tears and your shame
She called you "boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
But honey he's not our kind
She says
Come to my door baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mother went to answer you know
That you looked so fine
Now I could understand your tears and your shame
She called you "boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
But honey he's not our kind
She says
I can't see you any more baby
Can't see you anymore
Walk me down to school baby
Everybody's acting deaf and dumb
Until they turn and say Why don't you stick to your own kind
My teachers all laugh the smirking stares
Cutting deep down in our affairs
Preachers of equality
Think they believe it then why won't they just let us be
They say I can't see you anymore baby
Can't see you anymore
One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening
Gonna raise my head up high
One of these days I'm gonna raise up my glistening wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
Baby I'm only society's child
When we're older things may change
But for now this is the way they must remain
I say I can't see you anymore baby
Can't see you anymore
No I don't want to see you anymore baby
Come to my door baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mother went to answer you know
That you looked so fine
Now I could understand your tears and your shame
She called you "boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
But honey he's not our kind
She says
I can't see you any more baby
Can't see you anymore
Walk me down to school baby
Everybody's acting deaf and dumb
Until they turn and say Why don't you stick to your own kind
My teachers all laugh the smirking stares
Cutting deep down in our affairs
Preachers of equality
Think they believe it then why won't they just let us be
They say I can't see you anymore baby
Can't see you anymore
One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening
Gonna raise my head up high
《In the Winter - Janis Ian》
The days are okay
I watch the TV in the afternoon
If I get lonely
The sound of other voices other rooms
Are near to me I'm not afraid
The operator she tells the time
It's good for a laugh
There's always radio
And for a dime I can
Talk to God dial-a-prayer
Are you there Do you care
Are you there
And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater getting old
I am wiser now you know
And still as big a fool
Concerning you
I met your friend
She's very nice
What can I say
It was an accident
I never dreamed we'd meet
Again this way you're looking well
I'm not afraid
You have a lovely home
Just like a picture
No I live alone
I found it easier
You must remember how
I never liked the party life
Up all night lovely wife
You have a lovely wife
And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater getting old
You are with her now I know
I'll live alone forever
Not together now
《Bright Lights and Promises - Janis Ian》
Written by：Janis Ian
Bright lights and promises
A pocket full of dreams
That's what they pay me to be
Gold lame' and diamonds
I'm a hometown queen
Honey would you sing it just for me
When I was good then I was bad
I never thought I'd end up this way
With no dreams to hide me
Bright lights to guide me
How long does it take to make the grade
Everywhere I hear a ringing in my ears
Drummer let the music play
Give me small town blues
Make it loud make it do
Listen to the music sway
Bar rails and cocktails have you got a light
In that what it pays to keep in sight
Overused and much abused promises of delight
Honey would you care to spend the night
Take a little time some memories and wine
Loosen up the sucker by the bar
And if he wants to hold you
If he wants to know you
Honey that's what you're here for
Until all I see
Is them reaching out for me
Drummer play that old time melody
Bright lights and promises that's all it's for
Leave and enter by the service door
Now I'm gold lame' and diamonds
Even if my gold is worn
Honey can you show me more
《When the Party's Over - Janis Ian》
Written by：Janis Ian
Would you like to learn to sing
Would you like to sing my song
Would you like to learn to love me best of all
Anyone can learn the words and the melody's so plain
This is my song to bring you back again
I'll teach you how to sing and dance
With a song and dance routine
And when the party's over
You can fall in love with me
Would you like to learn to tango
Do you dance the light fandango
Teach you how before we're done
Anyone can make it two any two can turn to one
And the melody's lost before the song's begun
Well we sound so good together and so poorly sung alone
Your harmony's an open breeze into my sheltered home
I can teach you how to sing and dance
With a song and dance routine
And when my party's over
You can fall in love with me
Would you like to learn to sing
Would you like to sing my song
Would you like to learn to love me best of all
Anyone can learn the words and the melody's so plain
This is my song to bring you back again
I'll teach you how to sing and dance
With a song and dance routine
And when the party's over
《From Me to You - Janis Ian》
Written by：Janis Ian
I'm leaving by night I'm leaving alone
I'm leaving it lie when you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me as I would not beg for you
Though I'd like to be the one to see you through
Every step you have taken disappears with the tide
You're torn up and shaken with changing your mind
You haven't got the grace to say you'll finally decide
And you haven't got the strength to stay and fight
Those people who surround you
Only want to see you weak enough to crawl
They'll lie for you decide for you
And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
And they'll try to stop your singing in the middle of your song
For they do not want you free and they do not make you strong
But only drag you down in the hole they're coming from
They say you are foolish in wanting the sun
Say you are selfish in learning to run
They'll tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise
For you never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light
You're more than beginning you're learning to fly
You feel like you're falling but it passes in time
I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song
So I'm waiting by the doorway but I will not linger long
And I'm leaving by night I'm leaving alone
I'm leaving it lie when you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me as I could not beg for you
But I'd like to be the one to see you through
《Watercolors - Janis Ian》
I remember photographs
Watercolors of the past
He turned and said – you ask much of me
Then when we’d made our peace
We lay between the sheets
He turned and said – I set you free
Go on be a hero be a photograph
Make your own myths
Christ I hope they last longer than mine
Wider than the sky we measure time by
Go on be a hero I set you free
Your stagehand lovers have conquered me
They’ll send you carnations
While smiling faces look on and applaud
Go on go on go ‘way from me
I said – do you wish me dead
Lip service to books you’ve read
Articles on how to bed a bird in flight
You called it love - I called it greed
You say – you take what you want
I said – you get what you need
Go on be a hero be a man
Make your own destiny if you can
Go find a fence locate a shell
And hide yourself
Go on go to hell go away from me
I need no charity
He said come unto me
I am beauty
I am the light
Come unto me
Hold the darkness and stay the night
I am wonder I am the heart’s delight
Tomorrow we’ll fight
Come on come on come on come near to me
Come be my fantasy
We’ll talk it over again sometime
I’ll send some flowers
To change your mind
But for tonight turn out the light
Hold me – come on come on
Set me free
Lend me your charity
《I Would Like to Dance - Janis Ian》
Written by：Janis Ian
Look at me I would like to dance
But I haven't the clothes for romance
So I'll stay with the boys in the band
I would like to be cool
Like the ladies who drool as they advance
But I can't get my feet
To go where I lead with my toes
At the debutante's ball everybody does all they can do to enhance
Every corset in town in a gown made specially in France
And the men here can tell at a glance
I would like to maintain
But it sure seems a shame to sit on my hands
And I only got into the swim
By the seat of my pants
Not another woman in the world
Who could make a living
Pitching the light fandango
Dancing on the streets of the city
Look at me playing freelance at the ball
Catch my entrance to the hall
Far from the gilded lily
Look at me would you like to dance
I've a book illustrating the stance
And I can't get my head
To go where I lead
With my toes
I feel solo
《Roses - Janis Ian》
Written by：Janis Ian
She never had too much of money
Friendly strangers were all she knew
Nobody ever came to call but you
I would not say she isn't happy
Though the eyes of a fool will make her blue
Nobody's ever seen the tears it's true
I guess nobody wanted to
We'll have a celebration
Ice cream and candy cakes
She's very young to go so far away
And then there'll be the papers
In black and white to say we're through
Nobody every loved me quite like you
I guess nobody wanted to
And there'll be roses
In the springtime still I guess there will
I wish her roses and song
And she'll be older
As years go by and how they fly
Will she be lonely without me along
She doesn't make friends easily
She's only known a few
The incidental stranger passing through
On sundays and holidays
I'll take her far away
We never tried to save the love we knew
I guess nobody wanted to
《Belle of the Blues - Janis Ian》
Written by：Janis Ian
I'm the belle of the blues
And it's easy to see
If I win or I lose
It's all one to me
I was born on a shelf in the rare books library
I reside by myself with my books and my TV
I'm an old age pension for the fossilized routine
Anybody for nostalgia
Put a record on and see
Here's a memory of olden days
And a heartbreak grown cold
All that glitters isn't gold
You get no love for free
You live and you die
And I'll probably throw it away
But in the end it's mine
And nobody has a right to say
Go down lightly go down silently
I'll go down screaming
Give it back it belongs to me
I'm the belle of the blues
I'm used to mingling
With the crème de la crème of higher society
I promise them roses
And an eight by ten of me
But when the party's over
They're all too glad to leave
Their children sing of sorrow
It's the same old routine
They've begged and they've borrowed
Someone else's misery
It's an easy act to follow
At least an easy one for me
Give me my tomorrows
You can have my memories
Souvenirs from an old fashioned school
Plays coquette on the pillow
Like an old fashioned fool
Go down lightly
Go down silently
You go down lonely
You go down like me
And Belle of the Blues
《Love is Blind - Janis Ian》
Love is blind
Love is only sorrow
Love is no tomorrow
Since you went away
Love is blind
How well I remember
In the heat of summer pleasure
Winter fades
How long will it take
Before I can't remember
Memories I should forget
I've been burning
Since the day we met
Love is blind
Love is without a mercy
Love is now you've hurt me
Now you've gone away
Love is blind
Love is no horizon
And I'm slowly dying
Here in yesterday
In the morning
Waken to the sound of weeping
Someone else should weep for me
Now it's over lover let me be
Love is blind
Love is your caress
Love is tenderness
And momentary pain
Love is blind
How well I remember
In the heat of summer pleasure
Winter fades
