<B>【南部摇滚】Tom Petty《Mary Jane's Last Dance》</B>
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers《Mary Jane's Last Dance》
< >She grew up in an Indiana town,
Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights.</P>
< >Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen.
She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen.
I was introduced and we both started groovin'.
I said, "I dig you baby, but I got to keep movin' on.
Keep movin' on."</P>
< >Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.</P>
< >Well, I don't know, but I've been told,
You never slow down, you never grow old.
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down,
Tired of myself, tired of this town.</P>
< >Oh, my, my. Oh, hell, yes.
Honey, put on that party dress.
Buy me a drink, sing me a song.
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long.</P>
< >Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.</P>
< >There's pigeons down on Market Square.
She's standin' in her underwear,
Lookin' down from a hotel room.
Nightfall will be comin' soon.</P>
< >Oh, my, my. Oh, hell, yes.
You got to put on that party dress.
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone.
I hit my last number and walked to the road.</P>
< >Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.</P>
< >“老鹰”乐队的歌迷都喜欢“加州旅馆”那清亮明快的吉他旋律,而听另一支同样来自美国南部的乐队Tom Petty(汤姆-派提)and the Heartbreakers(负心人)的歌曲也会有类似的感受。
虽然汤姆-派提及其乐队也创建于70年代,但他们的辉煌时期一直延续到90年代,所以其艺术和商业成就更加引人注目。1989年,派提得到最佳摇滚团组格莱美奖,并在过去几届中得到提名。1996年,在此两年前发行的唱盘“Wildflowers”(野花)获得最佳摇滚男声格莱美奖以及多项提名。同年,ASCAP颁发金音符奖表彰派提的作词作曲。这一年,派提还作为历史上第一位摇滚歌手被授予UCLA的乔治/爱若-葛士文艺术生涯成就奖。1999年,派提和乐队进入好莱坞名人殿堂。
1989年,在新泽西的一次音乐会上,因为有关当局禁止“绿色和平”运动在后场散发信息,派提曾经拒绝上台。派提的坚决使当局被迫最后让步。歌星的为人处世由此可见。</P>
<P>Mary Jane's Last Dance(玛丽-珍的最终舞)这个乐队最有名的作品,曾经获得1994年MTV最佳男性音乐影像奖。
