恋曲20N0 - 2005/8/9 0:22:00
1992年，April同学借给我一盘原版带。第一次同期听到原版卡带，绿幽幽的盒子，90分钟的。包装里没有歌词，那时英语不好，听着稀里糊涂，却被完全征服。
这90分钟里，极重金属占据A面，是反对战争、政客、种族歧视的檄文和咆哮，还有一些对B面的伏笔。Politicalamity里面那对Hyprocrite的责骂印象最深。偶尔在20多分钟出现很诙谐的“号外号外－－－Cupid's dead”。Peacemaker Die灌了马丁路德金博士的声音，让人去想梦想被子弹穿透的幻觉。
翻过另一面，忽然峰回路转，跳出一首Seven Sundays。从来没有想象到一个狂躁的重金属团能写出如此抒情、缓柔、音质精美、曲调悠扬的情歌。对比他们的More Than Words，两个都是柔情极了的爱的曲。More Than Words更是吉他慢板和更有想象力的作品，电台偶有DJ播出。但还是更喜欢这个Seven Sundays。在钱柜里，可以找到More Than Words，但找不到Seven Sundays。
情歌后，印象中开始了对父亲的倾诉，曲声转向无不忧愁和祈求。好像是恋爱清醒后对世界的沉思（Our Father）。
“接下来”，“Coming Up”……
一个宏著：
记得先是个八音盒的拟音，然后出现了"Stop the world, I wanna get off"这新鲜梦幻的诗句。再后来，混在钢琴、吉他、电声、甚至纽约交响乐团的背景伴奏下，渐渐演为史诗般壮阔，并呼应A面的一些旋律在茫落中挣扎，追忆中企盼新生。
惊于重金属＋摇滚的奇幻混合，乐队开始讲那人世的三个故事，一环接一环，旋律忽和几十分钟前悄悄呼应了一下，又马上跳转到苍白的吟唱，听冷风呼啸，听裸体跪下，听问天无答，听泪落衣衫，听苦行人生。
每次听，至少要把卡带的B面从头听到尾。从耳机里灌进来，伴灵魂冲撞。即是傻呆呆被摄于声乐的伟大，无言以对，听完最后一个音符，欣赏一个杰作的完成。
我当时用镍铬带翻录过。后来毕业，无意见在燕莎商城看到原版CD，还是绿幽幽的盒子，标价RMB220，没有带够钱。等再去已经踪影全无……
2003年。一个女网友通过QQ传给我从打口碟烧下来的三首，竟然是WAM格式每个文件10多MB，至喜。但她却不给我其他，实在是……
Amazon上美国“网友”的评论，要对Extreme的第三个专辑，III Sides To Every Story，所谓每个故事的三面，分析和感悟更美国更基督教一些。
这如同罗大佑般消失的精灵组合，Extreme Empire。
Please tell me God isn't dead... Please tell me God isn't, I wanna know if He.
但愿这APE能顺利驴完。

1 Warheads
Extreme - Warheads
Hey Kid, wanna have some fun?
Choose a side and here's your gun
Brought up knowing right from wrong,
squash the meek, inherit the strong
Just try and cross the line,
Don't even bother to waste my time
What's that look in your eyes?
It's time I cut you down to size
This world ain't big enough for two,
And I've got my sights on you
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE,
I'M A WARHEAD, YOU'RE A WARHEAD
A WARHEAD JUST LIKE ME?
HE'S A WARHEAD, SHE'S A WARHEAD
WATCH 'EM SCREAM 'N YELL
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE, A WARHEAD TOO
WHEN I BLOW THEM
STRAIGHT TO HELL
Ramboy, it's us and them
Just like your Daddy in Vietnam
Monkey see, Monkey do,
Your boy's grown up
Just like you
This world ain't
Big enough for two
and I've got my
eye on you
CHORUS
I've seen Black heads,
White heads,
Red heads,
Dead heads,
Big heads,
Shit heads,
but, there's no heads
Like WARHEADS!
2 Rest In Peace
Extreme - Rest In Peace
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
A novelty, catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to...
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,
Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me,
Now you can see
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, SOUNDS SO ABSURD, TO ME
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SAY THESE WORDS, LIGHTLY
OR ELSE OUR WORLD, WILL TRULY, REST IN PEACE
Let's not pretend,
to justify
Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,
Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see
3 Politicalamity
Extreme - Politicalamity
Wars ′n rumors
Of wars, no one knows what for
Toys and soldiers
Deployed, on some foreign shore
Lords and rulers
Destroy, diplomatic rapport
Communists, dictatorships
Democracies, hypocrisies
Ask not what your country can do?
To a one world governmental zoo
POLITICAL, POLITICAL
POLITICALAMITY
IT′S AN-AR-CHY
POLITICAL, POLITICAL
POLITICALAMITY
Rich ′n poor
Salute your country′s colors
Less is more
When one oppresses the other
Pride ′n power
Decorated upon collars
Donkeys, bears ′n elephants
All paper-trained on parliament
Ask not what your country can do?
To a one world governmental zoo

4 Color Me Blind
Extreme - Color Me Blind
Color Me Blind
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
I had a dream,
Last night I was blind
And I couldn't see
Color of any kind
Picture the world, minus a rainbow
When day becomes night, then where will the sun go
Dancing alone, just me and my shadow
Color me blind, so I can see no evil
WHY DO WE DREAM,
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
WHY DO WE DREAM
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
I had a dream,
I was looking, over the mountain
But I've, I've yet to see the,
The so-called promised land
Picture the world,
Without any color
You couldn't tell,
One face from the other
I don't understand
Why we fight with our brother
Color me blind
Just to love one another
Color me, color you,
COLOR ME BLIND
5 Cupid's Dead
Extreme - Cupid's Dead (Horn Mix)
"You read the papers today?"
I read the news today oh boy,
About a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide,
The letterhead read Dear Johnny
A tainted truth was all it said,
Sleep tight now that you’ve made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart
Points to the apple on your head
Three sides to every story
Yours, mine
And, Monday morning’s
CUPID’S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID’S DEAD
CUPID’S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID’S DEAD
Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
You wouldn’t be the last to know
No mystery yet to unfold,
A paperboy left in the cold
A love was said to never die,
Withered away and just got old
"Our top story tonight,
is a crime of passion
The victim, an unidentified man,
is found in bed, wearing only a diaper,
holding a bow an arrow in one hand,
and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read ...
CUPID’S DEAD."
Extra, extra, extra,
read all about it
CUPID’S DEAD,
Cupid is dead, deceased,
I got peace of mind
Still it’s hard to forget,
what it leaves behind
A lot of love lost,
your feelings are wasted,
tasted the sweetness,
but now you’re faced with,
the thought, of being alone
Nor more companionship,
you can handle it,
just abandon it,
leave it behind,
and look for the brighter day
Give it some time,
cause it won’t come right away
You gotta be standing strong,
hold on to your dignity
Don’t sit around,
saying look what ya did to me
It’s time to move on,
you gotta continue
to look for a love,
of a life that’s within you
Cupid is dead now,
it’s time to rely on,
yourself to cope
You got no shoulder to cry on
DEAD
6 Peacemaker Die
Extreme - Peacemaker Die
PEACEMAKER DIE,
Mr. Righteous One
You say you have this plan?
If we care to understand
PEACEMAKER DIE,
Mr. Nice Guy
You dare to speak the truth?
I'll twist and turn it into lies
Blessed are the warmongers,
Blessed are the warmongers
For they shall be called,
Man-made Gods
PEACEMAKER DIE,
PEACEMAKER DIE,
PEACEMAKER DIE,
I DON'T KNOW WHY?
PEACEMAKER DIE,
PEACEMAKER DIE,
PEACEMAKER DIE,
PEACEMAKER DIE,
PEACEMAKER DIE,
I DON´T KNOW WHY?
PEACEMAKER DIE,
Mr. Goody Two
Do you really thing the world
Can be Black, White, and Jew?
PEACEMAKER DIE,
Mr. Music Man
Don´t turn your back on me?
Cause I´m the one with the gun
Blessed are the warmongers,
Blessed are the warmongers,
For they shall be called,
Sons of God
I have a dream this afternoon,
That the brotherhood of man,
Will become a reality
In this day, with this faith,
I will go out and,
Carve the tunnel of hope,
Through the mountain of despair
With this faith,
I will go out with you and,
Transform dark yesterdays
Into bright tomorrows
With this faith,
We will be able to achieve
This new day
When all of God's children,
Black men and white men,
Jews and gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics
Will be able to join hands
And sing with the negroes,
In the spiritual of old
Free at last, free at last,
Thank God almighty,
We're free at last.

7 Seven Sundays
Extreme - Seven Sundays
Seven Sundays
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
One day
we'll find the time
to spend, together
until then, My Love
IF I HAD ONE WISH
IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO CHOOSE
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
CAUSE THAT'S THE DAY
THAT I SPEND WITH YOU
Someday soon,
you and I
will hold each other
once again, My Love
IF I HAD ONE WISH
IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO CHOOSE
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
CAUSE THAT'S THE DAY
THAT I SPEND WITH YOU
If I had one wish
It wouldn't be hard to choose
8 Tragic Comic
Extreme - Tragic Comic
Tragic Comic
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Flowers, I sent,
were found dead on their arrival
The words, I said,
inserted foot in my mouthful
So when, we dance,
My lead it ain't so graceful
(Isn't so, not ain't so)
I'M A HAPLESS ROMANTIC
ST-T-TUTTERING P-POET
JUST CALL ME A TRAGIC COMIC
CAUSE I'M, IN, IN LOVE WITH YOU
And when, we dine,
I forget to push in your seat
I wear, the wine,
spilling hearts all over my sleeve
A stitch, in time,
proposing down on my knees
(Splitting between the seams)
I'M A HAPLESS ROMANTIC
ST-T-TUTTERING P-POET
JUST CALL ME A TRAGIC COMIC
CAUSE I'M, IN, IN LOVE WITH YOU
Nobody, can know the,
trouble I've, seen
Nobody, can know the,
trouble I, get into,
when I'm with you
9 Our Father
Extreme - Our Father
Our Father
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Oh Daddy please,
take me with you
where you going
Oh Daddy please,
come find the time,
come watch us growing
Oh Daddy please,
don't leave there's so
much that we want to
know before you go
I'm in need of someone
to tie my shoe,
or take hold of my hand
when I become afraid
And whose footsteps
will I follow into,
Daddy please,
don't run away
OUR FATHER
FAR FATHER
WELL LET ME TELL YOU 'BOUT
OUR FATHER
FAR FARTHER AWAY...
Oh Daddy please,
I pray every night
the doors will open
Oh Daddy please,
this house is just
a broken home,
left all alone
10 Stop The World
Extreme - Stop_The_World
All the world’s
a masquerade
made up of fools
and philosophers
Were it to rain
on our charade,
all washes away,
except for our true colors
If any people bothered
looking for truth, please,
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning ’round
instead we choose to follow
footsteps of fools, please
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning ’round
If nothing’s new under the sun
for me and you
Won’t somebody please...
STOP THE WORLD
STOP THE WORLD
I WANNA GET OFF
STOP THE WORLD
STOP THE WORLD
WHERE THERE IS LOVE
If we forget
yesterday,
We’re bound to repeat it
tomorrow
It’s not too late
to start today,
Better off safe,
than sorry
Do unto those as you would
do to yourselves, please,
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning ’round
We need more feet to walk
in one another’s shoes, please
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning ’round
There’s nothing new
under the sun
for me and you,
Won’t somebody please...
11 God Isn't Dead
Extreme - God Isn't Dead
Ah, look at all
the lonely people,
losing faith,
in a world
full of despair,
no one who cares,
wondering where
GOD disappeared
I, see the pain
in everybody's faces
asking why,
the GOD up in the sky,
didn't say goodbye,
please tell me,
GOD didn't die
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
I WANT TO KNOW
IF HE'S
TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
I WANT TO KNOW
12 I. Rise N Shine II. Am I Ever Gonna Change III. Who Cares
Extreme - I. Rise N Shine II. Am I Ever Gonna Change III. Who Cares
Dawn wakes the silence,
of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid,
from a song sung in my eye
Night rests in peace,
as the sun mourns the sky
All's accounted for sheep,
over a horizon's I
RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
RISE, RISE IN TIME
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
And when you see,
a south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know,
a hot day, will be on the way
(Foolish one)
You analyze,
the earth and the sky
I ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time
I had a dream,
not unlike the one from old
Of a man king,
whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand
weather the sundials rise 'n fall
Chasing wind through your hands,
'til water runs dry the well
DREAM, DANIEL, DREAM
FOR WHAT'S YET TO COME
SEE, DANIEL, SEE
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
And in the West,
a cloud appears
For shadows of
a coming shower near,
Oh, so near
(Hypocrites)
You analyze,
the earth and the sky
I ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time
Vanity,
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity,
Yes, all's futility
For one that dies,
another's born
Where laughter's heard,
comforters mourn
There's a time for
everything
A song for love,
even abhor
An olive branch,
or winter's war
There's a time for
EVERYTHING, UNDER THE SUN

Am I Ever Gonna Change Lyrics
I'm tired of being me,
and I don't like what I see,
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day,
down on my knees I will pray,
for a change in any way
But as the day goes by,
I live through another lie,
if it's any wonder why
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING,
THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG,
THAT GOES ON FOREVER
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
WHEN I THINK I'M RIGHT,
I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT,
GONE ON TOO LONG
Please tell me if it's true,
am I too old to start anew,
cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again,
when I think I can,
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try,
Will it matter when I die,
Can anyone hear my cry?
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
TAKE IT DAY BY DAY
MY WILL IS WEAK
AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG
THIS PEACE I SEEK
TILL THY KINGDOM COMES
-----------------------------------------------
Who Cares?
Tell me, Jesus,
are you angry?
One more sheep has,
just gone astray
A hardening of hearts,
turning to stone
Wandering off,
so far from home
So many children,
losing time
Walk in darkness,
looking for a sign
Chasing their rainbows,
the future looks so bright
Slowly we're losing,
Sight of the light
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
TELL ME WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
All alone,
out in the cold
Can't look back,
am I growing old
I chose a path,
is this my fate
Am I finding out,
the truth too late
CHORUS
Here I am,
a naked man
Nothing to hide
with empty hands
Remember me,
I am the one
Who lost his way,
your Prodigal Son
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
TELL ME WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
SAY ONE THING
THEN I DO THE OTHER
SAME OLD SONG
GOES ON FOREVER
RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
YES IT IS!
