Rock and Roll

Then one fine morning she puts on a New York station
You know,she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancing to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

Velvet Undergrond - Rock'n'Roll

　　Velvet Underground 這首 Rock and Roll 一直是我最喜歡的 VU 歌曲之一，是一首很不是 VU 的 VU 歌曲，很多樂團都這樣吧，最被人家喜歡的歌曲，往往都是最不是他們風格的那一首。套句 Alanis Morissette 說的，＂Isn't it ironic?＂。

　　想了想，我寫這些東西要幹什麼？

　　我是個平凡人，甚至我覺得比平凡還要糟一點。糜爛的大學生，對於未來從沒想過，也不想去想。我家裡不有錢，但也算不上窮。我聽搖滾，卻買不起幾片CD。但是像這首歌裡頭的 Jenny 一樣，我只是個聽到搖滾，在收音機前面跳舞的小男孩。想也知道 Jenny 不是個很好的舞者，甚至跳起舞來很醜；我也不是大作家，或是每日人氣上萬的BLOG寫手，甚至我的文筆糟到自己都不敢回頭看自己的文章。但是我聽搖滾，然後寫出這些東西，就像 Jenny 聽到那令人不敢置信的搖滾樂，隨之起舞，然後盼望著搖滾樂能拯救他的生命。

Velvet Undergrond - Rock and Roll

Jenny said when she was just five years old
There was nothin' happenin' at all
Every time she puts on a radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all,
Not at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station
You know, she don't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Despite all the amputations you know you could just go out
And dance to the rock 'n' roll station

It was alright
It was allright
Hey baby
You know it was allright
It was allright

Jenny said when she was just bout five years old
You know my parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars -
Well you know it ain't gonna help me at all
Not just a little tiny bit
Then one fine mornin' she turns on a New York station
She doesn't believe what she hears at all
Ooh, She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life is saved by rock 'n' roll,
Yeah, rock n' roll
Despite all the computations
You could just dance to that rock 'n' roll station

And baby it was allright
And it was alright
Hey it was allright
It was allright
Hey here she comes now!
Jump! Jump!

Like Jenny said when she was just bout' five years old
Hey you know there's nothin' happenin' at all
Not at all
Every time I put on the radio,
You know there's nothin' goin' down at all,
Not at all
But one fine mornin' she hears a New York station
She doesn't believe what she heard at all
Hey, not at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Yeah rock 'n' roll
Ooh, Despite all the computations
You know you could just dance to the rock 'n' roll station

Allright, allright
And it was allright
Oh, you listen to me now
And it was allright
C'mon now
Little better
Little bit
It was allright
It was allright
And it was allright, allright
It's allright, allright
Baby it's allright, now
Allright, baby it's allright, now
Baby it's allright, allright now
Baby it's allright
Baby it's allright now
Oh baby,oh baby
Oh baby, Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's allright, now
Ooh, it's allright now
All, allright.
