Song:Stand
Artist:Jewel
Style:Pop
Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try 2 run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent 2 make u clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
For all the pain that life brings
If u will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand
A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
For all the pain that life brings
If u will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand
U will love me, I will love u
U will love me, I will love u
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
For all the pain that life brings
If u will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
For all the pain that life brings
If u will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
For all the pain that life brings
If u will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

歌曲:忍耐
歌手:珠兒
風格:流行
步入街角的一家商店
看見一個行竊的當差
看見一位老奶奶端著槍
看見我們的英雄想逃跑
凡事都不是想象的那樣 我想說
沒有人是壞透的 也沒有人是純潔無暇的
那里有小鬼們付賬
也有修道士尋求刺激
賣雜志的小販也有尊嚴
也有藥丸出租能令你感到虛無
Marvin Gaye 那兒并沒有兄弟 沒有兄弟
Woody Guthrie的土地也不能養(yǎng)育祖國
母親哭泣 孩子入睡
如此多的暴力在安靜中結(jié)束
可恥的是找不到該責備的人
人生中會有許多苦難
如果你和我在一起 就能使我更完美
大家一起忍耐 共渡難關
女服務員端來我的午飯
我們只看不吃
電視上賣著虛假的廣告
此時角落里 King的夢想破滅
他去到柜臺 為我和我的朋友付賬
一個無家可歸的人抽出一疊帳 說他照單全付
頭頭說沒有現(xiàn)金
他說錢都花在吃喝嫖賭上了
母親哭泣 孩子入睡
如此多的暴力在安靜中結(jié)束
可恥的是找不到該責備的人
人生中會有許多苦難
如果你和我在一起 就能使我更完美
大家一起忍耐 共渡難關
你會愛我 我也會愛你
你會愛我 我也會愛你
母親哭泣 孩子入睡
如此多的暴力在安靜中結(jié)束
可恥的是找不到該責備的人
人生中會有許多苦難
如果你和我在一起 就能使我更完美
大家一起忍耐 共渡難關
母親哭泣 孩子入睡
如此多的暴力在安靜中結(jié)束
可恥的是找不到該責備的人
人生中會有許多苦難
如果你和我在一起 就能使我更完美
大家一起忍耐 共渡難關
母親哭泣 孩子入睡
如此多的暴力在安靜中結(jié)束
可恥的是找不到該責備的人
人生中會有許多苦難
如果你和我在一起 就能使我更完美
大家一起忍耐 共渡難關

珠兒的這首stand主要是關于世界的復雜性,表象與本質(zhì)的矛盾等,開頭的曲調(diào)尤其好聽,配有輕輕的哼唱,隨后便出現(xiàn)珠兒的清脆的嗓音,不時還有節(jié)奏特別勤快而合唱,給人一種格外的清新與暢快之感
