Lyrics by:Elvis Costello
Composed by:Elvis Costello
I went to a theatre on Silhouette Street
我去了剪影街的一家剧院
It had a taste of decay and a scent of defeat
它有腐朽的味道也有失败的气息
All of the patrons in the pews
教堂长椅上的所有顾客
Were people that I'd killed or used
都是被我杀害或是利用的人
The actors on the stage were equally skilled
舞台上的演员技术都差不多
The players took turns in lighting the fuse
球员们轮番上阵点燃导火索
One of them said Now you must choose
其中一个说现在你必须做出选择
A man of infamy or ill-repute
恶名昭著或名声不佳的人
And that's the one that we will execute
这就是我们要做的事
None of that mob had turned up late
没有一个人姗姗来迟
They said You'd better concentrate
他们说你最好集中精神
So start the show 'cause we can't wait
所以开始表演吧因为我们迫不及待
For the man you love to hate
为了那个你爱恨交织的男人
All of the patrons sitting on pews
所有的顾客都坐在教堂长椅上
Were the shades of the ghosts of the ones accused
是那些被指控的人的幽灵的影子
There was music that dragged in line and word
音乐声此起彼伏
Not a penny was spent or a conscience was spared
没有花一分钱也没有良心
The hero's motives were never in doubt
毫无疑问英雄的动机
We laughed at the speeches that he would spout
Suddenly there arose a shout
突然响起一声呐喊
Confessions simply tumbled out
忏悔就这样脱口而出
And marriage vows that someone mumbled about
还有别人口中的结婚誓言
None of that mob had turned up late
没有一个人姗姗来迟
They said You'd better concentrate
他们说你最好集中精神
So start the show 'cause we can't wait for
所以开始吧因为我们迫不及待
The man you love to hate
那个让你又爱又恨的男人
The closing act the first one billed
最后一幕拉开序幕
Into the limelight thrilled
走上聚光灯下激动不已
The tale of a ship lured onto the rocks under
这是一个故事一艘大船被引诱到暗礁上
The cover of darkness the hold was plundered
黑暗的盖子被洗劫一空
My mouth was parched my eyes red rimmed
我口干舌燥双眼通红
My false light shone and my ghost light dimmed
我虚假的光芒闪烁我的幻影黯淡无光
I went to a house on Silhouette Street
我去了剪影街上的一栋房子
Where I lived once and died once more
我住过一次又死了一次
Awoke a woman I once adored
唤醒了我曾经仰慕的女人
Her husband came to the door
她老公上门来
In a masquerade of dignity
在一场尊严的化妆舞会上
He said I'm pleased to meet you but you don't know me
他说我很高兴认识你但你不了解我
She took my money and handed me the key
她拿走我的钱把钥匙递给我
The number on the fob was 999
船上的电话号码是999
She whispered That's your room and this is mine
她低声说那是你的房间这是我的
But that's a chamber that you can't afford
但那是你无法承受的痛苦
It's one door down next to the emergency ward
隔壁一扇门就是急诊室
None of that mob had turned up late
没有一个人姗姗来迟
They said You'd better concentrate
他们说你最好集中精神
So start the show 'cause we can't wait
所以开始表演吧因为我们迫不及待
For the man you love to hate
为了那个你爱恨交织的男人
To the man man you you love love to hate
致你爱恨交织的人
I'm a one party state
我是一党独大的国家
The man you love to hate
那个让你又爱又恨的男人
The girl you used to care for
那个你曾经关心的女孩
Without a why or wherefore
不知缘由
The country that I loved is just a problem to solve
我热爱的国家只是一个亟待解决的问题
Until we all disintegrate
直到我们分崩离析
Before the man man you you love love to hate
在你爱恨交织的人面前
