25 Minutes: 第一次听Michael Learns To Rock的歌，就是这首25 minutes，收录在Now That
What I Call Music 2当中。从那时起，也就喜欢上了这个丹麦的乐队。那盘磁带借了给别人
之后就不知所踪，好在还有网络，总算找回这首歌来了。歌词见主页。

I Still Haven't Found What I Am Looking For: 这首歌名字够长吧。爱尔兰国宝级乐队U2的
经典作品，出自他们的荣获格莱美最佳唱片的专辑《The Joshua Tree》。强烈推荐，歌词写
的尤其精彩，见主页。

Kiss Me: 这首歌是英国乐队Sixpence None the Richer发行的单曲。随着他们在英国皇室盛
大的婚礼上的表演，六便士穷人这个乐队名声大躁。这首歌果然是非常出色，旋律和歌词
都是上佳之作，女主唱动听的声音更是为之锦上添花。歌词见主页。

Vincent: 这首歌想来大家比较熟悉，民谣诗人Don McLean的经典作品，还有个名字就是
Starry Starry Night。这次介绍的是西班牙情歌之王胡利奥·伊格莱西亚斯翻唱的版本。胡
利奥的唱功和嗓音实在了得，这首歌经他唱来，仿佛一幅风景画呈现眼前，浓墨重彩，韵
味十足。歌词见主页。

且夫水之积也不厚，则其负大舟也无力。覆杯水于坳堂之上，则芥
为之舟。置杯焉则胶，水浅而舟大也。风之积也不厚，则其负大翼也
无力。故九万里则风斯在下矣，而后乃今培风；背负青天而莫之夭阏
者，而后乃今将图南。

Artist: Michael Learns To Rock
Album: Greatest Hits
Title: 25 Minutes
After sometimes I've finally made up my mind
She is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere in find her again
To tell her I love her
And I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done
I find her standing in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her weddingdress
But she's crying while she's saying this
* CHORUS : Boy I missed your kisses all the time but
This is twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far
Boy I'm sorry you are
Twentyfive minutes too late
Against the wind I'm going home again
Wishing me back to time when we were more than friends
But I still see her in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn't search
She looked so happy in her weddingdress
But she's cried while she was saying this
* REPEAT CHORUS
Out in the streets
Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
Inside my head still I can hear the words she said
* REPEAT CHORUS (X2)
I can still hear her say

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Lyrics: Bono. Music: U2.
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls, these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
When all the colors will bleed into one, bleed into one
But yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds
You loosed the chains
Carried the cross
And all my shame, all my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

"Kiss me"
Sixpence none the richer
Kiss me out of the bearded barley.
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.
CHORUS
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
So kiss me.
So kiss me.

Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
D. McClean
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus:
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Chorus:
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
