Yes-Owner Of A Lonely Heart

   哪張三張一套的專輯賣座最好?

  三張一套的專輯不多，位居前四名中的三張專輯是前Beatles 合唱團的團員所推出的，而其中有二張是現場錄音的，這幾張專輯銷售量都很高。

  葛萊美獎提名1970年的《All Things Must Pass》為Beatles前團員George Harrison最佳個人專輯，這一套錄音室錄製三張一套的專輯，在全美銷售獲七張白金唱片。

  1971年的《The Concert For Bangladesh》則是George Harrison演唱會的現場錄製專輯，後來贏得格來美獎年度專輯獎。

  1976年的《Wings Over America》係Beatles前團員Paul McCartney與所領軍的Wings合唱團的現場錄製專輯，是70年代最佳現場錄製專輯之一

  1973年的《Yessongs》是英籍前衛搖滾樂團Yes的現場錄製專輯，成績雖然比不上前面介紹的專輯，在美國也獲得白金唱片。

  《All Things Must Pass》當中最受歡迎的歌是在Billboard Hot 100 排行榜獲得4周冠軍的" My Sweet Lord "。

        在倫敦組團的Yes   則是一個前衛搖滾樂團，主唱Jon Anderson，他們在Billboard Hot 100 單曲榜成績最好的歌是1983年獲得過2周冠軍的"Owner Of A Lonely Heart"。

Owner Of A Lonely Heart

Lyrics：Chris Squire / Jon Anderson / Trevor Horn / Trevor Rabin

 

Move yourself

You always live your life

Never thinking of the future

Prove yourself

You are the move you make

Take your chances, win or loser

See yourself

You are the steps you take

You and you, and that's the only way

Shake, shake yourself

You're every move you make

So the story goes

Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

(Much better than a)

Owner of a broken heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Say, you don't want to chance it

You've been hurt so before

Watch it now

The eagle in the sky

How he dancin' one and only

You, lose yourself

No not for pity's sake

There's no real reason to be lonely

Be yourself

Give your free will a chance

You've got to want to succeed

Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

(Much better than a)

Owner of a broken heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

After my own indecision

They confused me so

Owner of a lonely heart

My love said never question your will at all

In the end you've got to go

Look before you leap

Owner of a lonely heart

And don't you hesitate at all, no no

Yow!

Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

(Much better than a)

Owner of a broken heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

(Much better than a)

Owner of a broken heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

Sooner or later each conclusion

Will decide the lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

It will excite, it will delight

It will give a better start

Owner of a lonely heart

Don't deceive your free will at all

Don't deceive your free will at all

Owner of a lonely heart

Don't deceive your free will at all

Just receive it

Just receive it

(Owner of a lonely heart)

 

Mott The Hoople- All The Young Dudes

  哪一本搖滾樂自傳是最棒的?

  Ian Hunter的《Diary of a Rock and Roll Star》是其中佼佼者，陳述著巡迴演唱的辛勞，該自傳一一提及便宜的旅館，廉價的食物，廉價的飲料，廉價的毒品還有廉價的女人，有些內容讀來令人愉快，還有些事則令人懷疑為什麼有人要過這種日子?

  Ian Hunter是來自英格蘭Oswestry的搖滾樂手，是著名的華麗搖滾樂團Mott The Hoople的主唱 (1969-1974)。在David Bowie錄製《The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Star and The Spiders From Mars 》專輯的那段日子，Ian Hunter曾擔任David Bowie的助理及編曲。這張專輯中著名的單曲" Space Oddity "在英國獲得排行榜冠軍，1973年在美國則獲得第15名。

  Mott The Hoople在Billboard Hot 100 排行榜上名次最好的歌是獲得第37名的" All The Young Dudes"，此曲在滾石雜誌RS500獲得256名，是這個Hard Rock band「硬式搖滾樂團」的代表作，David Bowie所唱的版本沒有發行單曲，但也甚獲歌迷們喜愛。

Space Oddity

Lyrics：David Bowie

 

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift off

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you...

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Every Breath You Take

Lyrics：Gordon Sumner

 

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, baby, baby please

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take)
(Every move you make)
(Every bond you break)
(Every step you take) I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

whoo, hoo
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay) I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say)
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay) I'll be watching you

Don't Come Home With A Drinkin’

Lyrics：Loretta Lynn / Peggy Sue Wells

 

Well, you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
Liquor and love, they just don't mix
Leave that bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love, well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake and cried here all alone
Then you come in a kissin' on me it happens every time
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love, well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
