Not ready to make nice by Dixie Chicks
Forgive, sounds good. Forget, I'm not sure I could. They say time heals everything, But I'm still waiting.
I'm through with doubt, There's nothing left for me to figure out. I've paid a price, And I'll keep paying.
I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down , I'm still mad as hell, And I don't have time, To go round and round and round. It's too late to make it right. I probably wouldn't if I could, Cause I'm mad as hell, Can't bring myself to do what it is, You think I should.
I know you said, Why can't you just get over it. It turned my whole world around, And I kind of like it.
I made my bed, and I sleep like a baby, With no regrets and I don't mind saying, It's a sad sad story, When a mother will teach her daughter, That she ought to hate a perfect stranger. And how in the world, Can the words that I said, Send somebody so over the edge, That they'd write me a letter, Saying that I better shut up and sing, Or my life will be over.
I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down, I'm still mad as hell, And I don't have time, To go round and round and round. It's too late to make it right. I probably wouldn't if I could, Cause I'm mad as hell, Can't bring myself to do what it is, You think I should.
I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down, I'm still mad as hell, And I don't have time, To go round and round and round. It's too late to make it right. I probably wouldn't if I could, Cause I'm mad as hell, Can't bring myself to do what it is, You think I should.
What it is, You think I should.
Forgive, sounds good. Forget, I'm not sure I could. They say time heals everything, But I'm still waiting.
Words and phrases
1. Dixie Chicks:美国乡村女子乐队“南方小鸡”,又称“狄克西女子合唱团”。
美国俚语中,“chick”表示“少女或少妇”,由此,“Dixie Chicks”有时也被称为“南方妞儿”。
“Dixie”常用来指代美国南部各州,因19世纪末一首颇为流行的歌曲“I wish I was in Dixie”被大众广泛接受。词源上,有观点认为,dixie源于法语词“dix”(10)。此外,新奥尔良地方银行发行的10美元钞票上也曾一度出现过“dix”字样。
2. be through with:结束、与…不再有联系
都说现在分手率、离婚率奇高,短语“be through with”这时似乎也可大派用场,如:I'm through with him.(我已经同他分手了。)
