作词 : Janis Ian I was never one for singing What I really feel Except tonight I'm bringing Everything I know that's real Stars they come go They come fast or slow They go like the last light Of the sun all in a blaze And all you see is glory But it gets lonely there When there's no one here to share We can shake it away If you'll hear a story People lust for fame Like athletes in a game We break our collarbones And come up swinging Some of us are downed Some of us are crowned Some are lost Never found But most have seen it all They live their lives in Sad cafes and music halls They always come up singing Some make it when they're young Before the world has done it's dirty job And later on someone will say You've had your day now you must make way But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned Or the many years forgetting what you know too well That the ones who gave the crown have been let down You try to make amends without defending Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes Of grown men of twenty five Who all followed as you walked and asked for autographs Or kissed you on the cheek And you never could believe they really loved you Some make it when they're old Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare Or perhaps there's nothing there Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze And all you see is glory But those who've seen it all Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls We always have a story Some women have a body men will want to see So they put it on display And some people play a fine guitar I can listen to them play all day Some ladies really move across a stage And gee they sure can dance But I guess I could learn how if I gave it half a chance But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord So I guess there isn't anything to put up on display Except the tunes and whatever else I say And anyway that isn't really what I meant to say I meant to tell a story and I live from day to day Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze And all you see is glory But those who've seen it all Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls We always have a story So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around I'll come up singing for you even when I'm down
[00:00.000] 作词 : Janis Ian [00:13.140]I was never one for singing [00:18.839]What I really feel [00:25.829]Except tonight I'm bringing [00:31.49]Everything I know that's real [00:38.528]Stars they come go [00:43.378]They come fast or slow [00:46.988]They go like the last light [00:49.27]Of the sun all in a blaze [00:54.667]And all you see is glory [01:02.117]But it gets lonely there [01:05.727]When there's no one here to share [01:10.877]We can shake it away [01:15.447]If you'll hear a story [01:25.577]People lust for fame [01:28.97]Like athletes in a game [01:32.337]We break our collarbones [01:34.867]And come up swinging [01:36.547]Some of us are downed [01:39.787]Some of us are crowned [01:42.936]Some are lost [01:44.176]Never found [01:46.236]But most have seen it all [01:51.16]They live their lives in [01:52.696]Sad cafes and music halls [01:58.755]They always come up singing [02:05.905]Some make it when they're young [02:08.655]Before the world has done it's dirty job [02:13.75]And later on someone will say [02:15.655]You've had your day now you must make way [02:23.705]But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned [02:32.453]Or the many years forgetting what you know too well [02:39.383]That the ones who gave the crown have been let down [02:44.183]You try to make amends without defending [02:53.462]Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes [02:59.232]Of grown men of twenty five [03:03.642]Who all followed as you walked and asked for autographs [03:07.561]Or kissed you on the cheek [03:10.911]And you never could believe they really loved you [03:17.71]Some make it when they're old [03:22.271]Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare [03:29.961]Or perhaps there's nothing there [03:38.291]Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow [03:45.591]They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze [03:54.101]And all you see is glory [04:00.341]But those who've seen it all [04:04.971]Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls [04:12.721]We always have a story [04:20.331]Some women have a body men will want to see [04:26.450]So they put it on display [04:29.260]And some people play a fine guitar [04:34.130]I can listen to them play all day [04:40.740]Some ladies really move across a stage [04:45.680]And gee they sure can dance [04:50.620]But I guess I could learn how if I gave it half a chance [04:59.649]But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar [05:06.408]And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord [05:13.717]So I guess there isn't anything to put up on display [05:20.777]Except the tunes and whatever else I say [05:30.166]And anyway that isn't really what I meant to say [05:38.865]I meant to tell a story and I live from day to day [05:47.775]Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow [05:55.394]They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze [06:04.934]And all you see is glory [06:10.994]But those who've seen it all [06:15.914]Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls [06:23.324]We always have a story [06:28.474]So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around [06:37.163]I'll come up singing for you even when I'm down
