英文歌：Florence and the Machine所演唱的歌曲Shake It Out

 

歌词：

Regrets collect like old friends

here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way.

And all of the ghouls come out to play
Then every demon¹ wants his pound of flesh
but I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn²
It's always darkest before the dawn.

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around
All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn.

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh

And I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn.

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh

And you tried to dance with the devil on your back
Given half the chance, would I take any of it back?
It's a fine romance but it's left me so impaired³
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven found a devil in me
Looking for heaven found a devil in me
But why the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me?

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out uh-oh
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
so shake him off uh-oh
