今宵はカントリー調でありパンクでもある曲を紹介します
最近はこういったジャンルの音楽が好きで
よく聞いています
なぜこういう音楽に俺が引き込まれたか
それは音楽を心から楽しんでいるように見えるからかもしれません
つまりほかのバンドが音楽を楽しんでいないのかというと
そんなことは絶対にないのですが
不思議とこういうバンドのほうが
心から音楽を楽しんでいる
音楽が大好き
そして聴き手にもそれを伝えたい
そういう気持ちが伝わってくるような気がするのです
今回紹介するのは
Flogging MollyというバンドのDrunken Lullabiesという曲です
ライブバージョン↓
歌詞↓
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
I watch and stare as Roisin`s eyes
Turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie
In their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Through bars these men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though nothing is left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
I sit in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
Singin' drunken lullabies
