[Verse 1]

Yeah, I'm sitting on this barstool, talking like a damn fool

Got the twelve o'clock news blues

And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps

And a bottle of cold brew

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Is it any wonder I'm not crazy?

Is it any wonder I'm sane at all?

[Verse 2]

Well, I'm so tired of losing, I got nothing to do

And all day to do it

Well, I'd go out cruisin', but I've no place to go

And all night to get there

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?

Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?

[Chorus]

Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands?

It's ticking away with my sanity

I've got too much time on my hands

It's hard to believe such a calamity

I've got too much time on my hands

And it's ticking away, ticking away from me

Too much time on my hands

(It's t-t-t-t-ticking away)

Too much time on my hands

(And I don't know what to do with myself)

Too much time on my hands

[Guitar Solo]

Too much time on my hands

Too much time on my hands

Too much time on my hands

[Verse 3]

Now, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems

Without even trying

I got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends

That is, as long as I'm buying

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Is it any wonder I'm not the president?

Is it any wonder I'm null and void?

[Chorus]

Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands?

It's ticking away with my sanity

I've got too much time on my hands

It's hard to believe such a calamity

I got too much time on my hands

And it's ticking away, ticking away from me

Too much time on my hands

(T-t-t-t-ticking away)

Too much time on my hands

(And I don't know what to do with myself)

Too much time on my hands

Too much time on my hands

(T-t-t-t-ticking away)

Too much time on my hands

Too much time on my hands

(Too much time on my hands)

(Too much time on my)

多添点:

今天分享一首Styx的《Too Much Time On My Hands》。

今天来首摇滚。这首歌来自Styx乐队1981年的第十张专辑《Paradise Theatre》。这张专辑在Billboard 200排行榜上曾连续 3 周排名第一,也是乐队连续第四张获得美国唱片工业协会三白金唱片认证的专辑。专辑中的四首单曲登上了各种排行榜,其中两首歌曲进入了前 10 名流行单曲排行榜。由Dennis DeYoung创作的主打单曲《The Best of Times》在 Billboard Hot 100 上排名第 3。由Tommy Shaw创作的《Too Much Time on My Hands 》(今天推荐的这首),在 Billboard Hot 100 单曲榜上排名第 9,也是他们演出现场经常演奏的曲目之一。通常会作为演出的第二首曲目。

这首歌由Tommy Shaw创作,据说曲子的灵感来自于路上。他说:“我记得那是最后一天排练,也是对我来说很有意义的一天。我住在密歇根,离我们在印第安纳州加里排练的地方大约 60 英里。我开着我的黑色Toranado去那里,快到时,突然脑海中出现了咚咚咚的低沉声音,是的,一整节的音乐都在脑袋中播放,我没办法记录,因为我在开车,不过好在马上就到了,我停好车,飞快跑进排练室,召集伙伴们,让贝斯手Chuck Panozzo演奏刚才脑海中的咚咚声,它们就像装在包裹里的零件一样被拿出来组装出来。”这首歌的歌词灵感来自一个酒吧,Shaw说道:“在我住的地方附近有一个地方,在密歇根州的奈尔斯,就在天主教堂隔壁的一家小酒馆。我不知道是否有某种法律禁止在天主教堂隔壁开酒吧——也许它是在教堂进来之前就已经存在的。它的正式名称是 Mark's Tavern,但每个人都称它为 Mark's Bar。这是当地的水坑。饮料很好,而且很便宜。你可以带着 20 美元去那里当英雄请朋友喝酒。而且你总是会在那里遇到你认识的人。这就是这首歌的基础。我很早就已经在脑海中写好了。”其他的伙伴们音乐中自寻吧。看看歌手。

Styx 是一支来自美国芝加哥的摇滚乐队,成立于1972年,以将硬摇滚吉他与原声吉他的平衡,混合了合成器与原声钢琴,积极且有力量的民谣,以及融入国际音乐剧元素而闻名。该乐队在20世纪70年代以一种前卫的摇滚音乐确立了自己的地位,并在80年代开始融合流行摇滚和软摇滚元素。他们标志性的歌曲有,《Lady》、《Come Sail Away》等。乐队今天推荐歌曲时期的成员有:Dennis DeYoung – 主唱、键盘;James "JY" Young – 主唱、电吉他;Tommy Shaw – 人声、电吉他和原声吉他、声码器;Chuck Panozzo – 贝斯吉他;John Panozzo – 鼓、打击乐。
