Song: Michael Caine



有沒有聽過Red Hot Chili Peppers的"Gong Li"(他們很喜歡鞏利?)?Gorzilla的"Clint Eastwood"(為何要叫奇連依士活,不叫羅拔烈福或是保羅紐曼呢)?,演員的名字﹐搖滾樂的包裝。但我一直覺得﹐歌名總與歌曲內容無關(?)(或者是我的領悟力/英語水平其低,甚麼意象文句全然不懂?)。好了,最近找到80年代的樂隊Madness一首"Michael Caine",歌名終與內容有了關連﹐還有找來Caine Sir的voice sample。不叫米高堅﹐又可以叫甚麼呢?


(I am Michael Caine)

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know
I see the firemen jumping from the windows
There's panic and I hear somebody scream
(aaaah)

He picks up useless paper
And puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
I can't remember tell me what's his name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing its another broken morning
I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
He didn't seem to hear
Just turned away

The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers
Straight at you
He had to sacrifice his pride yes throw it all away

(I am Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks round and round in circles
There is no place he can ever call his own
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do
All he wanted was to remain sane
He can't remember his own name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
And all I wanted was a word or photograph
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
