听歌学英语:Is It Any Wonder(怎么会)
基音乐队(Keane)是一支来自英国东南部东萨塞克斯郡(Sussex)的巴特尔小镇(Battle)的摇滚乐乐队。成员有钢琴手、作曲人兼编曲人Tim Rice-Oxley,主唱和风琴手Tom Chaplin,以及鼓手Richard Hughes。。他们的头两张专辑:希望与恐惧(Hopes and Fears)和深海之音(Under the Iron Sea),在英国发售时销量都排名第一,在世界各地也都有非常好的销量。
今天我们听到的“怎么会?”(Is It Any Wonder?),出自第二张专辑,是在专辑发布之前抢先发行的单曲,自单曲发行后迅速登上了英国单曲榜第三位。好,让我们来一起学习这首Is It Any Wonder?。
I
I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
and so on
but now I think how I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side
Is it any wonder I'm tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right
Sometimes
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
But sometimes
I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme, a soundbite
Is it any wonder that I'm tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right
oh, these days
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed
Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad lonely spires
How do you make it right
Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right
oh, these days
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed |
