Frank Abagnale Sr.:
You know why the Yankees always win, Frank?

Frank Abagnale, Jr.:
'Cause they have Mickey Mantle?

No, it's 'cause the other teams can't stop staring at those damn pinstripes.

Nina Simone, 人稱 靈魂教母 (High Priestess of Soul)

一般來說是搞 RnB & soul, 和黑人的平權運動的
她不想被歸類, 可是很不幸還是被灌上一個優秀的*爵士女伶*

"爵士是白人對黑人音樂的用詞, 我說我的音樂是黑色古典樂"

Jazz is a white term to define Black people.

My music is Black classical music... Nina Simone

Nina Simone/ Ain't Got No... I Got Life (remix)
Remix版, 很high滴




I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin'
Ain't got no work, ain't got no job
Ain't got no money, no place to stay

Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no children, ain't got no sisters or brothers
Ain't got no earth, ain't got no faith
Ain't got no church, ain't got no God
Ain't got no love

Ain't got no wine, no cigerettes
No clothes, no country
No class, no schoolin'
No friends, no nothing
Ain't got no God
Ain't got one more

Ain't got no earth, no water
No food, no home
And I'll say I got no clothes, no job, no nothing
Ain't got nothing to live,
And I ain't got no love.

Oh-oh but what have I got?
Oh-oh what have I got?
Let me tell you what I got
Cause nobody's gonna take away unless I own up.

I got my hair on my head, my brain, my ears, my eyes, and nose, and my mouth
I got my smile
I got my tongue, my chin, neck, my boobies, my heart, soul, and my butt
I got my sex
I got my arms, my hands, my fingers, my legs, my feet, my toes, and my liver
Got my blood
I got life
I've got lives

I've got headaches, and toothaches
And bad times too, like you

I got my hair, my head, my brain, my ears, my nose, and my mouth.
I got my smilin' and it's my smile
I got my tongue, my chin, my headaches, and my boobies, my heart, my soul, and my back
I got my sex!
I got my arms, my hands, my fingers, my legs, my feet, my toes, and my liver
I got my blood
I got life

I got my freedom
I got life

留在愛裡

Falling in love can be easy

But staying in love is too tricky

Raphael Saadiq - Staying in Love

When I met you (I said hello)

We had a chat (here we go)

I'm so good now (I feel your heart)

When you kiss me (I hit the floor)

I couldn't plan this (went on for days)

And that's why (I can't imagine when)

I'm so grateful (that you are here)

I feel the sunshine (when you appear)

Girl you changed my life (my whole life around)

You make me see (you make fun of me)

See I never (want this to die)

All of life just (should never ever end)

Now there's four (shake and move the floor)

The more we listen (the more we know)

Let's take a stand (before taking three)

For today (today is all we see) SEE!

Falling in love can be easy,

Staying in love is too tricky.

Falling in love can be easy,

Staying in love is too tricky.

You know I love (the way you hold me tight)

I tell all the girls (don't even try)

I found the women (of my life)

I don't even (have to think twice)

Took me places, baby (I never go)

Cause I sit back (cause she's a show)

What I'm thinking (she's thinking too)

Girl I swear (I'm never leaving you)

When you put your hand in mine (and you're in my hand)

I know that we (will be the best of friends)

Who would have thought (after all this time)

We'd be searching (for another life)

How could love (ever fool us both)

After we took turns (reap sights of old)

Girl it makes me (want to cry)

Cause now we're living (separate lives) separate lives!

Falling in love can be easy,

Staying in love is too tricky. (So tricky, baby)

Falling in love can be easy,

Staying in love is too tricky.

(Somebody help me out right here, come on now...)

Fall in love,

Sho' enough gone be tricky baby.

We try - we try, baby!

See-EE!

Falling in love can be easy,

Staying in love is too tricky.

Falling in love can be easy,

Staying in love is too tricky.

Toni Braxton ft. Babyface / How Could an Angel Break my Heart

Toni Braxton ft. Kenny G / How Could an Angel Break my Heart

I heard he sang a lullaby

I heard he sang it from his heart

When I found out thought I would die

Because that lullaby was mine

I heard he sealed it with a kiss

He gently kissed her cherry lips

I found that so hard to believe

Because his kiss belonged to me

How could an angel break my heart

Why didn't he catch my falling star

I wished I didn't wish so hard

Maybe I wished our love apart

How could an angel break my heart

I heard her face was white as rain

(Your face is white as rain)

Soft as a rose that blooms in May

(Soft as a rose in May)

He keeps her picture in a frame

(I keep your picture)

And when he sleeps he calls her name

(I only call out your name)

I wonder if she makes him smile

(She doesn't make me smile)

The way he used to smile at me

(I only smile at you)

I hope she doesn't make him laugh

(She doesn't make me laugh)

Because his laugh belongs to me

(My laugh belongs to you)

How could an angel break my heart

(You are my heart)

Why didn't he catch my falling star

(I will catch your star)

I wished I didn't wish so hard

(Don't wish so hard)

Maybe I wished our love apart

(Love falls apart)

How could an angel break my heart

(Your tender heart)

Oh (My love)

My (I know that)

Soul (I know your)

Is (Is dying)

Dying (I know your soul is crying)

It's crying (I know that

you've been dying)

I'm trying (Trying)

To understand

Please help me (Please help me)

How could an angel break my heart

(I'd never break your heart)

Why didn't he catch my falling star

(I'd catch your falling star)

I wished I didn't wish so hard

(You never wished too hard)

Maybe I wished our love apart

(We're not apart)

How could an angel break my heart

(Oooh yeah)

Toni Braxton ft. Babyface

你是我的所有事

I'd sail across the ocean, bring you the sun.

With you I see forever, you are the one.

Brian McKnight, 江湖人稱 Vocal Sex

而好聽的情歌, 內容通常都是破老梗

Brian McKnight / Everything

Yesterday, looking in your eyes,

I caught a glimpse of tomorrow

And that's when I realized, that dreams come true.

For you love there's nothing I would not do.

Do I love you? Baby, I do.

That's why,

I'd sail across the ocean, bring you the sun.

With you I see forever, you are the one.

Girl, you're everything I need and more.

You are my everything, my everything.

For sure.

My heart, beats for you.

You are a light in the darkness.

You make me feel brand new,

And looking in your eyes,

I can tell you feel the same way too.

Do I love you? Baby, I do.

I'd sail across the ocean, bring you the sun.

With you I see forever, you are the one.

Girl, you're everything I need and more.

You are my everything, my everything.

For sure.

Wish I may, wish I might,

To have you here in my arms for the rest of my life.

I pray that you'll stay in my heart for always.

I'd sail across the ocean, bring you the sun.

With you I see forever, you are the one.

Girl, you're everything I need and more.

You are my everything, my everything.

For sure.

碧曲之歌

Without girls like you,

There's no nightlife,

All those men just go home to their wives.

Amy Winehouse / Fuck Me Pumps

When you walk in the bar,

And you dressed like a star,

Rockin' your F me pumps.

And the men notice you,

With your Gucci bag crew,

Can't tell who he's lookin' to.

Cuz you all look the same,

Everyone knows your name,

And that's you whole claim to fame.

Never miss a night,

Cuz your dream in life,

Is to be a footballers wife.

You don't like players,

That's what you say-a,

But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire.

You don't like ballers,

They don't do nothing for ya,

But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller.

You're more than a fan,

Lookin' for a man,

But you end up with one-nights-stands.

He could be your whole life,

If you got past one night,

But that part never goes right.

In the morning you're vexed,

He's onto the next,

And you didn't even get no taste.

Don't be too upset,

If they call you a skank,

Cuz like the news everyday you get pressed.

You don't like players,

That's what you say-a,

But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire.

Or them big ballers,

Don't do nothing for ya.

But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller,

You can't sit down right,

Cuz you jeans are too tight,

And your lucky its ladies night.

With your big empty purse,

Every week it gets worse,

At least your breasts cost more than hers.

So you did Miami,

Cuz you got there for free,

But somehow you missed the plane.

You did too much E,

Met somebody,

And spent the night getting caned

Without girls like you,

There'd be no fun,

We'd go to the club and not see anyone.

Without girls like you,

There's no nightlife,

All those men just go home to their wives.

Don't be mad at me,

Cuz you're pushing thirty,

And your old tricks no longer work.

You should have known from the job,

That you always get dumped,

So dust off your fuck me pumps

Amy Winehouse

你太好以致於不會是真的

這條歌大概有一萬個版本, 翻譯成一百種語言

請自己看 Wikipedia - Cant Take my Eyes off You

Lauryn Hill - Can't Take my Eyes off You

Frankie Valli - Can't Take my Eyes off You (original)

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

You'd be like Heaven to touch.

I wanna hold you so much.

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive.

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.

There's nothing else to compare.

The sight of you leaves me weak.

There are no words left to speak,

But if you feel like I feel,

Please let me know that it's real.

You're just too good to be true.

Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,

And if it's quite alright,

I need you, baby,

To warm a lonely night.

I love you, baby.

Trust in me when I say:

Oh, pretty baby,

Don't bring me down, I pray.

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay

And let me love you, baby.

Let me love you.

Can't Take My Eyes off You (1967)

你可以一直虐待我

Alice Russell / Mean to Me (acoustic version)

You can always be mean to me

Or you could keep me on side

We could work this out easily

But i don't know if i'll try, anymore

So carry on being mean to me

And all you'll get is dry eyes

Where's the kissing and the pleasing me

Its like somebody died

I'm giving you recipies

Cos you have to feed fire

I'm giving you chemistry

Cos you have to feed fire

I'm giving you

Recipies, chemistry, everything

Yes all of me

Cos you have to feed fire

You could always be mean to me

Or you could treat me nice and kind

You could be huggin and a'squeezing me

You could be holding me tight

But carry on the way your treating me

And wait for letters i wont write

Wheres the kissing and the pleasing me

Its like somebody died

I'm giving you recipies

Cos you have to feed fire

I'm giving you chemistry

Cos you have to feed fire

I'm giving you

Recipies, chemistry, everything

Yes all of me

Cos you have to feed fire

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,

Minutes after they took i

From the bottomless pit.

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the almighty.

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly.

Redemption songs;

Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look? ooh!

Some say its just a part of it:

Weve got to fulfil de book

Wont you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind

Wo! have no fear for atomic energy
