英B歌曲補充

20160104 英語歌曲補充Lemon Tree/ Hotel California

歌曲部分從二段後就進入較難的現代歌曲

這次補充的兩首老歌分別是是較簡單的檸檬樹

以及非常經典卻困難的加州旅館

不僅用字困難

當中也帶入許多當時美國環境與情況

也一起介紹了這幾個樂團





Lemon Tree - Fool's Garden

I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens -- and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast , I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens -- and I wonder

* I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turing, turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

Da Da-la-da-la-de-la-da
Da-la-la-la-de-la-da
Da-de-le-la

I'm sitting here, I miss the power
I'd like to go out, taking a shower
But there is a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
where nothing ever happens -- and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation, I don't want to sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around in a desert of joy
Baby, anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen -- and you'll wonder (*)



Hotel California

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "
