这周爱听这一首
the flood
Standing, on the edge of forever,
At the start of whatever,
Shouting love at the world.
Back then, we were like cavemen,
We'd beam at the moon and the stars,
Then we forgave them.
We will meet you where the lights are,
The defenders, of the faith we are.
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.
You know no one dies, in these love town lies,
Through our love drowned eyes,
We'll watch you sleep tonight.
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood,
Learning how to dance the rain.
We were holding back the flood
They said we’d never dance again.
Bleeding, but none of us leaving,
Watch your mouth, son
Or you'll find yourself floating home.
Here we come now on a dark star,
Seeing demons, not what we are.
Tiny minds and eager hands
Will try to strike but now will end today.
There's progress now where there once was none,
Where there once was ah,
Then everything came along.
Although no one understood,
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain.
There was more of them than us now
They'll never dance again.
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we’d never dance again
We will meet you where the lights are,
The defenders, of the faith we are.
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain.
(learning how to dance the rain)
There was more of them than us now
They'll never dance again.
Now we'll never dance again.
Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh...
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll cone back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
歌词第一段 i used to rule the world, seas would rise when i gave the word是讲拿破仑回顾自己的过去的荣耀，但如今发现自己无法统治并拥有世界，相反只能sweep the streets i used to own。
副歌部分的bells and choirs都象征着葬礼的进行，也就是说拿破仑预示到自己的死亡。而mirror, sword和shield都是典型基督教的象征，意味着拿破仑希望能够升上天堂。
从wicked and wild wing到who would ever want to be king都是他在怀念曾经拥有的权力和地位。
head on a silver plate指的就是法国，因为法国最先采用断头台执行死刑。
saint peter won't call my name是说其实他知道并不会登上天堂，因为他是个暴君。
看来我儿子喜欢听的都是中学生喜欢的英文歌曲，比如这首LEMON TREE 还有BABY 之类的百听不厌，还有一首外教教的LENKA的<EVERYTHING AT ONCE.>,我以为外教教他们小盆友英文儿歌，却是流行歌曲，想不到儿子喜欢。还有一首西城男孩的《HOME>也还不错的。
