Written by：James Mercer

At fifteen we had to leave the States again

十五岁时我们不得不再次离开美国

Dad was stationed at an RAF base they called Mildenhall

爸爸曾经驻扎在英国皇家空军基地他们称之为米尔登霍尔

Black moss on a busted wall

破旧的墙上布满黑色的青苔

The cobblestones made it hard to skate

鹅卵石铺成的路让我难以前行

I thought my flattop was so new wave

我以为我的敞篷跑车引领潮流

Until it melted away in the Suffolk rain

直到它融化在萨福克郡的雨水里

Well god damn you miss the USA

该死你想念美国

Then a kid in class passed me a tape

班上的一个孩子递给我一盘录像带

An invitation not the hand of fate

这是邀请不是命运之手

I guess my shoes said I might relate

我想我的鞋子说我可能会感同身受

Somehow she knew I'd like to stay up waiting with her in the cold

不知何故她知道我愿意在寒风中与她彻夜等候

For cheap beer and rock 'n roll

为了廉价啤酒和摇滚

Which in time put lots of things in my mind

时间让我思绪万千

A kid in class passed me a tape

班上的一个孩子递给我一盘录像带

We saw some bands down at the corn exchange

我们在玉米交易所看到了一些钞票

I wonder where my sister was that night

我想知道那晚我姐姐在哪里

Back at home under the tanning bed lights

回到家里晒着日光浴

I can still see the glow

我依然能看到耀眼的光芒

Strange rays from her window

奇怪的光线从她的窗户射进来

Each night as I was skating home

每天晚上当我滑着滑板回家时

Started messing with my dad's guitar

开始摆弄我爸爸的吉他

Taught me some chords just to start me off

教了我几个和弦让我重新开始

Whittling away on those rainy days

在那些阴雨绵绵的日子里

And that's how we get to where we are now

我们就这样走到了今天的地步

A kid in class passed me a tape

班上的一个孩子递给我一盘录像带

A band called the Jesus and the Mary Chain

一个叫耶稣和玛丽项链的乐队

I started messing with my dad's guitar

我开始摆弄我爸爸的吉他

He taught me some chords just to start me off

他教了我几个和弦让我开始唱歌

Whittling away on all of those rainy days

将那些阴雨绵绵的日子抹去

And that's how we get to where we are now

我们就这样走到了今天的地步

And that's how we get to where we are now

我们就这样走到了今天的地步
