英文歌詞


Living in the Fridge (改編自Aerosmith 的 "Living on the Edge")

There's something weird in the fridge today
I don't know what it is
Food I can't recognize
My roommate won't throw a thing away
I guess it's probably his
It looks like it's alive...

And livin' in the fridge... livin' in the fridge
Livin' in the fridge... livin' in the fridge

There's something gross in the fridge today
It's green and growin' hair
It's been there since July
If you can name the object
In that baggie over there
Then mister, you're a better man than I

It's livin' in the fridge
You can't stop (dysentery) the mold from growin' (dysentery)
Livin' in the fridge
Can't tell what (dysentary) it is at all (dysentery)
Livin' in the fridge
You can't stop (dysentary) the mold from growin' (dysentery)
Livin' in the fridge

Tell me, do you think it should be carbon dated
Fumigated or cremated and buried at sea?
You try to save a little bit of you're home cookin'
Couple weeks later, got a scary-lookin' specimen
It always happens my friend
Again & again & again & again

Somethin' stinks in the fridge today
And it's been rottin' there all week
It could be liver cake or wooly mammoth steak
Well, maybe I should take another peek...

Livin' in the fridge
You can't stop (dysentary) the mold from growin' (dysentery)
Livin' in the fridge
Can't tell what (dysentery) it is at all (dysentery)
Livin' in the fridge
You can't stop (dysentery) the mold from growin' (dysentery)
Livin' in the fridge
Livin' in the fridge
Don't know what it is, don't know what it is
Livin' in the fridge
Don't know what it is, don't know what it is
Livin' in the fridge
Don't know what it is at all
Livin' in the fridge, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


歌詞翻譯

活在冰箱裡

今天冰箱裡有種怪怪的東西
我不知道那是什麼
是我沒看過的食物
我室友即使東西壞了他也從不丟掉
我猜那大概是他的
那看起來好像還是活的

活在冰箱裡...活在冰箱裡
活在冰箱裡...活在冰箱裡

今天冰箱裡有個噁心的東西
綠綠的還長毛
它從七月起就在裡頭了
如果你說得出在那個袋袋裡頭
到底是什麼東西
先生,那你就是比我厲害的人

活在冰箱裡
你不能讓(痢疾)那些黴菌不要一直長(痢疾)
活在冰箱裡
我不知道那到底是什麼東西
活在冰箱裡
你不能讓(痢疾)那些黴菌不要一直長(痢疾)
活在冰箱裡

你說,我們是不是該把它拿去做碳含量年代檢驗
或是拿去煙薰、火化或是埋在海底
你只是不想浪費自己家裡吃剩的一點東西
幾個禮拜後,那就變成一種樣子嚇死人的樣本了
每次都是這樣的,朋友
一而再,再而三,每次都一樣

今天冰箱裡有東西臭死了
在裡頭已經爛了整個禮拜了
那可能是豬肝蛋糕或是長毛猛象肉排
等等,我可能應該再看一清楚一點

活在冰箱裡
你不能讓(痢疾)那堆東西不要一直長(痢疾)
活在冰箱裡
我不知道那到底是什麼東西
活在冰箱裡
你不能讓(痢疾)那堆東西不要一直長(痢疾)
活在冰箱裡
活在冰箱裡
我不知道那到底是什麼東西,我不知道
活在冰箱裡
我不知道那到底是什麼東西,我不知道
活在冰箱裡
我完全不知道那到底是什麼東西
活在冰箱裡

Aerosmith 的原曲

Living on the Edge


There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise

We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin' dim
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man that I

We're livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

(solo)

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

There's something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on

Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself from fallin' (everybody)
Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself at all (everybody)
Livin' On the Edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin' (everybody)
Livin' On the Edge
Livin' On the Edge
Livin' On the Edge
Livin' On the Edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself from fallin' (everybody)
Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself at all (everybody)
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin' (everybody)
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' On the Edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' On the Edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you got to that now

文句注釋

Livin’ on the edge
活在邊緣(意指生活不安定,隨時可能遭險或是沈淪)。

We’re seeing things in a different way/And God knows it ain’t His/ It sure ain’t no surprise
我們看待事物的方式已經與(基督教的)上帝不同,這是自然的。(這裡可能指的是世風日下,人心不古,社會已經變得不公不義,生活也是變得每日好像都處在瀕臨毀滅或沈淪的邊緣。)

If you can judge a wise man By the color of his skin
如果你能夠靠膚色來評量一個智者,那先生你是比我高明。(這裡Aerosmith在批判種族歧視。)

Tell me what you think about your situation Complication, aggravation is getting to you, yeah If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is fallin’ Even if it wasn’t, would you still come crawlin’ back again? I bet you would, my friend
告訴我你認為你的處境如何。併發症、病情惡化的問題都找上你了。如果膽小鬼(chiken little=little chicken)告訴你天塌下來了,即使天沒有塌下來,你是否還是會爬著回來?我猜你一定會。
