Suzanne knows. She always does, and that's what we love her for.
You gave me the rose tattoo that I did not think would receive from you. And you keep it there.
What do I do then? Just have to sing you this song...
Marlene on the Wall
by
Suzanne Vega
Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you?
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
of the fingerprints on me from you
Other evidence has shown
that you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zone
and don't talk about it later
Marlene watches from the wall
her mocking smile says it all
as she records the rise and fall
of every soldier passing
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
that I am changing
Marlene on the wall
I walk to your house in the afternoon
by the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't give away the goods too soon"
Is what she might have told me
And I tried so hard to resist
when you held me in your handsome fist
and reminded me of the night we kissed
and of why I should be leaving
Marlene watches from the wall
her mocking smile says it all
as she records the rise and fall
of every man who's been here
But the only one here now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
that I am changing
Marlene on the wall
又,因為你問我這是什麼,我只好唱給你聽:
Embraceable You
by
George Gershwin
(我現在想的是
Judy Garland版...)
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you
