听歌学英语:难熬的日子过去了 Dog Days Are Over

Florence And The Machine 是一支来自英国的的独立流行乐队, 女歌手Florence Welch担任主唱，同时也是乐团灵魂支柱。主唱Florence Welch生于1986年8月28日, 自小受到热爱音乐的父母的影响，从7岁就开始就在婚丧宴会中演出，11岁开始接受歌唱训练课程。虽然Florence有着读写障碍、动作协调障碍等问题，却丝毫不影响她追求音乐的热情和决心，在经过治疗后还可提笔撰写歌曲。Florence + The Machine首张专辑「Lungs」，一口气动员三位横跨不同领域的大师齐力拱盘，以锐不可挡的气势直接空降英国金榜亚军。开场曲「Dog Days Are Over」，徘徊在Folk与Pop的边缘，加上Florence韧性十足的演绎功力，很难不让人深深着迷。

英文歌词：

Happiness,it hurt like a train on a track¹

Coming towards her,stuck still no turning back

She hid around corners and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled²

With every bubble³ she sank with a drink

and washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming so you better run

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father

Run for your children and your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your loving behind you

Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over

the dog days are done

Can’t you hear the horses

Cuz here they come

And I never wanted anything from you

Except everything you had

and what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness it hurt like a bullet⁴ in the mind

Stuck them up drainpipes

by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over

The dog days are gone

can you hear the horses

Cuz here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father

Run for your children for your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your loving behind you

Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over

The dog days are gone

Can you hear the horses

Cuz here they come

The dog days are over

The dog days are gone...

The horses are coming so you better run
