Town Called Malice



Written and composs by Paul Weller





Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 

Cos it's the one we'll never know 

And quit running for that runaway bus 

Cos those rosey days are few 

And - stop apologising for the things you've never done, 

Cos time is short and life is cruel 

But it's up to us to change 

This town called Malice. 

最好别幻想平静的生活了 

这是你永远不会知道的东西 

放弃追逐离开的巴士 

因为美好生活总是有限 

然后 停止为你没有做过的事情道歉 

因为时间太少 生活残忍 

但改变在于我们 

这座恶城 



Rows and rows of disused milk 

stand dying in the dairy yard 

And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk 

bottles to their hearts 

Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry 

It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come 

fast and furious 

In a town called malice 

Oooh yeah  

一排排被丢弃的牛奶 

慢慢在乳品厂变质 

家庭主妇们攥着空奶瓶拦在怀中 

将旧情书挂成一排晾干 

这已足够让你眼眶湿润时停止相信那些 

在这座恶城 



Ba ba ba ba bada baa 

badaba bada ba ooh 

Ba ba ba ba bada baa 

badaba bada ba 



Struggle after struggle - year after year 

That atmosphere's a fine blend of ice - 

I'm almost stone cold dead 

In a town called malice

Oooh yeah  

挣扎又挣扎 年复一年 

气氛就像冰窖 

我几乎被冻成石头 

在这座恶城 



A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef 

gets dashed against the co-op 

To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear 

It's a big decision 

in a town called malice

Oooh yeah 

整个街道用来买周日的烤牛肉的资金被机构分走 

用来支持削减啤酒和青少年的新手刹的提案 

这可是个大决议 

在这座恶城 



The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track 

It's at the moment bound for nowhere - 

just going round and round 

Playground kids and creaking swings - 

lost laughter in the breeze 

I could go on for hours and I probably will - 

but I'd sooner put some joy back 

in this town called malice

 Yeaahh

蒸汽机车的鬼魂萦绕在我的卡车边 

卡车此时没了方向 

只是漫无目的地前行 

游乐园的孩子还有吱吱作响的秋千 

在微风中哑然失笑 

我可以这个持续数小时 我真的会这么做 

但我很快又欢乐起来 

在这座恶城 



Ooh yeaahh 

Town called Malice yeaahh 

Ooh yeah 

A town called Malice yeaahh
