Beasley Street - John Cooper Clarke
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Far from crazy pavements
远离繁华的街道
The taste of silver spoons
银匙的滋味不再
A clinical arrangement
冰冷的机械排列
On a dirty afternoon
在污浊的午后时光
Where the fecal germs of Mr Freud
弗洛伊德先生的肮脏病菌
Are rendered obsolete
早已失去意义
The legal term is null and void
法律术语沦为虚无
In the case of Beasley Street
在比斯利街的街角
In the cheap seats where murder breeds
廉价公寓里 谋杀滋生的温床
Somebody is out of breath
有人正喘不过气
Sleep is a luxury they don't need
睡眠是他们负担不起的奢侈
A sneak preview of death
死亡正在提前上演
Belladonna is your flower
颠茄是你唯一的花朵
Manslaughter your meat
杀戮是你的日常
Spend a year in a couple of hours
用几个小时 就耗尽一生
On the edge of Beasley Street
在比斯利街的边缘
Where the action isn't
看似平静无波
That's where it is
暗流涌动之处
State your position
表明你的立场
Vacancies exist
空置的房屋敞开
In an X-certificate exercise
在限制级的生存游戏里
Ex-servicemen excrete
退伍军人潦倒度日
Keith Joseph smiles and a baby dies
基思·约瑟夫微笑时 一个婴儿夭折
In a box on Beasley Street
在比斯利街的破纸箱里
From the boarding houses and the bedsits
寄宿公寓和单间出租屋中
Full of accidents and fleas
充斥着意外与跳蚤
Somebody gets it
总有人遭殃
Where the missing persons freeze
失踪者在此冻僵
Wearing dead men's overcoats
裹着死人的大衣
You can't see their feet
你看不见他们的脚
A riff joint shuts opens up
地下赌场时开时关
Right down on Beasley Street
就在比斯利街深处
Cars collide colours clash
车辆相撞 色彩混杂
Disaster movie stuff
犹如灾难片场景
For a man with a Fu Manchu moustache
留着傅满洲式胡须的男人
Revenge is not enough
复仇也无法满足
There's a dead canary on a swivel seat
转椅上躺着死去的金丝雀
There's a rainbow in the road
路面上映着彩虹
Meanwhile on Beasley Street
此刻的比斯利街上
Silence is the code
沉默是这里的法则
Hot beneath the collar
愤怒在衣领下沸腾
An inspector calls
一位警探前来造访
Where the perishing stink of squalor
污秽的恶臭弥漫
Impregnates the walls
浸透了斑驳的墙
The rats have all got rickets
老鼠都患上了佝偻病
They spit through broken teeth
透过残牙吐着唾沫
The name of the game is not cricket
这里的游戏规则绝非公平
Caught out on Beasley Street
被困在比斯利街
The hipster and his hired hat
潮人与他的租来礼帽
Drive a borrowed car
开着借来的车
Yellow socks and a pink cravat
黄袜配粉红领结
Nothing La-di-dah
装腔作势的做派
OAP mother to be
领养老金的待产妇人
Watch the three-piece suite
盯着那套三件式沙发
When sh*t-stoppered drains
当污秽堵塞了下水道
And crocodile skis
鳄鱼皮滑雪板
Are seen on Beasley Street
在比斯利街随处可见
The kingdom of the blind
盲人的国度里
A one-eyed man is king
独眼者称王
Beauty problems are redefined
美的标准被重新定义
The doorbells do not ring
门铃不再响起
A lightbulb bursts like a blister
灯泡如脓疱般爆裂
The only form of heat
这是唯一的温暖来源
Here a fellow sells his sister
有个家伙在街头 出卖自己的亲妹妹
Down the river on Beasley Street
就在比斯利街的河畔
The boys are on the wagon
男孩们醉倒在运货马车上
The girls are on the shelf
女孩们被遗弃在角落
Their common problem is
他们共同的悲哀是
That they're not someone else
永远无法成为别人
The dirt blows out
污秽随风飘散
The dust blows in
尘埃又滚滚而来
You can't keep it neat
这里永远无法整洁
It's a fully furnished dustbin
如同堆满垃圾的废品站
Sixteen Beasley Street
比斯利街十六号
Vince the ageing savage
老文斯这野蛮人
Betrays no kind of life
看不出半点生气
But the smell of yesterday's cabbage
只有昨日剩菜的馊味
And the ghost of last year's wife
和亡妻游荡的幽魂
Through a constant haze
终日笼罩在阴霾中
Of deodorant sprays
除臭剂的气味弥漫
He says retreat
他说快逃吧
Alsations dog the dirty days
警犬追逐着肮脏的日子
Down the middle of Beasley Street
在比斯利街的中央
People turn to poison
人们堕落如毒药
Quick as lager turns to piss
快得像啤酒变馊
Sweethearts are physically sick
恋人们相拥时
Every time they kiss
总忍不住作呕
It's a sociologist's paradise
这是社会学家的天堂
Each day repeats
日复一日重复着
On easy cheesy greasy queasy
油腻肮脏令人作呕
Beastly Beasley Street
野兽般的比斯利街
Eyes dead as vicious fish
眼神如恶鱼般死寂
Look around for laughs
环顾四周寻找笑料
If I could have just one wish
若我能许一个愿望
I would be a photograph
我愿成为一张照片
On a permanent Monday morning
在这永无止境的周一清晨
Get lost or fall asleep
迷失方向或沉沉睡去
When the yellow cats are yawning
当黄色野猫打着哈欠
Around the back of Beasley Street
在比斯利街的阴暗角落
