這是一首老歌,主唱者是Tom Waits (湯姆‧維茲)
我還以為是個黑人呢
結果不是,含滷蛋的唱法在過去的年代裡面真的滿流行的
不過這首歌真的很棒,有興趣就聽聽看吧!
以下是歌詞:
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
I've got what I paid for now
See ya tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you, to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English, and everything's broken
And my Stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
Now the dogs are barking
And the taxi cab's parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger in
Your silhouette window light to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her and the one-armed bandit knows,
and the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
They want a piece of the action anyhow go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchman flame keepers
And goodnight to Matilda too

Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues 蒼觴味十足 日劇 不毛地帶 主題曲
我愛Tom Waits的歌,二十年前開始搜集他的所有的專輯,所以當日劇不毛地帶片尾曲聽到這首歌時還吃了一驚,他們一定是花了不少錢買播放的版權。Tom Waits的嗓音一向低啞迷人,但二十年前在台灣卻沒什麼人欣賞,我買了一張專輯當禮物送朋友還被嫌:"品味奇特"。
