A Whiter Shade Of Pale: 如果没有听过这首歌的原唱，那么你大有可能认为这首歌原本就
是一首艺术歌曲。Sarah Brightman那独特的气质实在是赋予了这首摇滚老歌新的生命力。

Fields Of Gold: 又是Sting的作品。Sting的歌介绍过不少了，这首《黄金之地》是他最
出色的作品之一。歌词见主页。

If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free: 同样是Sting的歌。这首歌好像是Sting脱离The
Police乐队后所写的第一首歌，不能算是他的一流作品，但是我很喜欢这首歌的歌词。真
正的爱情，是不是该是那样的呢？歌词见主页。Napster搜索:
Artist: sing Title: if you love somebody
It Wasn't Me: 最近新歌听得比较少，这首Shaggy演唱的歌是近期公告牌Hot 100的热门
单曲，最好位置是亚军。而冠军这几周一直被已经介绍过的那首《查理的天使》主题曲所占
据。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。

歌词：

A Whiter Shade of Pale
By Procol Harum
We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said "There is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
---------------------------------
Fields Of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Story:
Fields Of Gold
"Well I've moved to the country for the first time in my life, and there are barley fields right next door. And I remember walking through one day and seeing this crop being moved by the wind and the sunshine, and it looked like there could have been people making love in the barley, or the wind seemed like it was making love to the barley, so I thought it was a great metaphor for love, and, its a kind of love song."
Ten Summoner's Tales Promotional Interview Disc, '93
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But now the audience has taken to doing this when I sing it (he sways like barley in the breeze), en masse, which is disconcerting. But you can't stop them, can you? Oi! Stop that fucking shite!"
Mojo, 2/95
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They wanted to do a version of the song so they wrote to me asking if I wanted to sing. I agreed, of course. Their version was an enormous success in France, Corsican music, by the way, is very popular in France. It was fun meeting them and I liked their interpretation."
On I Muvrini's version of the song... P鷅lico, 10/99
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It wasn't huge in the charts but I like it. It was written and recorded at Lake House, and recorded here, and it's just a song about the landscape. I love the place. It takes a lot to get me away. It was the record company's idea to call the album Fields of Gold. I argued against it at first, but I suppose it fits. Maybe it should have been Fields of Platinum."
Independent On Sunday, 11/94
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''Some of my most successful songs have been very simple; I reminded myself of that. One of the most successful was Fields of Gold, which is as straight a folk ballad as you'll find."
The Long Beach Press-Telegram, 11/94
---------------------------------
If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
You can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
If it's a mirror you want
Just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy
Someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches
So many souls
With everything we see that we want to possess
If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
You can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
You want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free

It Wasn't Me
Shaggy (feat. Ricardo Ducent)
(Yo', man) Yo'
(Open up, man) What do you want, man?
(My girl just caught me) You let her catch you?
(I don't know how I let this happen) With who?
(The girl next door, you know) Man
(I don't know what to do) Say it wasn't you
(Alright)
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both buck naked
Bangin' on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
Oh, you've another woman access to your villa
Just a sign of weakness all left on your pillow
You better watch your back before she turn into a
killer
Best to view the situation ???
The real true player left ???
???
Never admit to her when she say
And she claim ??? no way
But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the scream get louder (It wasn't me)
She said our dealy was over
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both buck naked
Bangin' on the bathroom floor
I had tried to keep her
From what she was about to see
Why should she believe me
When I told her it wasn't me
Make sure ??? connects
Whenever you should see I make the gigolo flex
??? complex
Seeing is believing, so you better change your specs
You know she ??? upon the past
???
???
??? you know you better run fast
But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the scream get louder (It wasn't me)
She said our dealy was over
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both buck naked
Bangin' on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
Gonna tell her that I'm sorry for the pain that I've
caused
I've been listening to your reason, it makes no sense
at all
If you tell her that I'm sorry for the pain that I've
caused
You may think that you're a player, but you're
completely lost
That's why I sing
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both buck naked
Bangin' on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
