歌词

I know a girl with a golden touch

She's got enough, she's got too much

But I know you wouldn't mind

You could have it all if you wanted

You could have it all if it mattered so much

But then all they know is how to put you down

When you're there, they're your friend

But then when you're not around

They say, "Oh, she's changed"

You know what they mean

Well they're mean, they're just jealous

Because they never do the things

They wish that they could do so well

That kind of girl, yeah she's never alone

You leave a thousand messages on her phone

But you know you never get through

You could have it all if you wanted, yeah

You could have it all if it matters to you

But then all they know is how to put you down

When you're there, they're your friend

Oh, when you're not around

They say, "Oh, she's changed"

Oh, we know what that means

Well, it means they're just jealous

But they'll never do the things

That they wish that they could do so well

I saw my girl with the golden touch

Give them a taste but not too much

I just can't listen to the words of fools

But don't give away too much

Someone'll need your golden touch

Because all they know is how to put you down

When you're there, they're your friend

Oh, then when you're not around

They say, "Oh what, she's changed"

Yeah we know what that means

Well it means they're just jealous

They'll never do the things

That they wish that they could do so well

Because all they know is how to put you down

When you're there, they're your friend

Oh, when you're not around

They say, "Oh what, she's changed"

Oh, we know what that means

Well it means they're just jealous

They'll never do the things

That they wish that they could do so well

No, they'll never do the things

That they wish that they could do so well

I'm just telling you:

They never do the things

That they wish that they could do sooo well

Gettin' through

No, they never do the things

That they wish that they could do sooo well

今天分享一首Razorlight的 《Golden Touch》。

今天来首点石成金，一首节奏欢快的歌曲。这首歌来自他们2004年6月发行的专辑《Up All Night》。音乐评论家们对于这种介于古典和现代间的乐队的音乐才能的态度有分歧，所以评论也比较两级分化，但总体还是比较积极的。这张专辑在英国专辑榜上排名第 3。专辑一共发行了六首单曲，分别是《Rock 'N' Roll Lies 》、《Rip It Up》、《Stumble and Fall》、《Golden Touch》、《Vice》和《Somewhere Else 》。今天这首《Golden Touch》在英国单曲榜上排名第9 。2006年，它在Q杂志的“100首最伟大的歌曲”中排名第87位。

这首歌的节奏和吉他riff很大程度上受到了The Cure乐队1979年首张专辑《Three imagine Boys》中的《10.15 Saturday Night》的影响。这首歌是关于伦敦DJ和派对女孩Mairead Nash的，主唱Johnny Borrell与她有过一段短暂的关系。Nash后来得知前男友 Johnny Borrell 为她写了这首歌，感到相当开心。她说：“Johnny和我多年来一直是朋友。他是我来伦敦时遇到的第一批人之一。这首歌讲的是人们说他们喜欢我，然后在我背后说我坏话。这种情况经常发生，他不喜欢这样，所以写了首歌。

有趣的是，Mairead Nash也是其他几首歌曲的灵感来源，包括The Von Bondie乐队的《Mairead》和Graham Coxon的《No Good Time》。可能是她太有魅力了。看看歌手。

Razorlight是一支英国独立摇滚乐队，由主唱兼吉他手Johnny Borrell于 2002 年在伦敦成立。除了 Borrell，乐队目前的阵容由吉他手 Björn Ågren 和贝斯手 Carl Delemo 以及鼓手 Andy Burrows 组成。这个阵容是乐队第二张和第三张专辑阵容的重聚。乐队经历了几次阵容变化，Borrell 仍然是唯一的常任成员。他们在 2014 年分手之前发行了三张录音室专辑。乐队于 2017 年重组，并于 2018年发行了专辑Olympus Sleeping 。他们最出名的是单曲就是今天这首《 Golden Touch》和《America》，后者是2006 年英国单曲榜的第一名。
