■ Extreme Empire - III Sides of Every Story



Artist: Extreme
Date: 1992-09-22
Label: A&M Records
Genre: Rock
Category: Rock/Pop

1 Warheads
2 Rest In Peace
3 Politicalamity
4 Color Me Blind
5 Cupid's Dead
6 Peacemaker Die
7 Seven Sundays
8 Tragic Comic
9 Our Father
10 Stop The World
11 God Isn't Dead
12 I. Rise N Shine II. Am I Ever Gonna Change III. Who Cares

第一次听,是1992年大二时同学拿来的原版磁带,A、B面曲长90分钟好像。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,还有一些伏笔。B面忽然峰回路转,跳出Seven Sundays这样柔极的情歌,然后是恋爱清醒后对世界的沉思(Our Father)、新鲜梦幻(Stop the world, I wanna get off)、和不安、对涅槃的向往(I. Rise N Shine II. Am I Ever Gonna Change III. Who Cares)。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。

我当时用镍铬带翻录过。后来1994年毕业,无意见在燕莎商城看到正版CD,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,至喜。但她却不给我其他,实在是……幸好有互联网,全部收录。

全部歌曲我的硬盘上都有质量更好的MP3格式。献给喜欢的人。

          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
http://www.real2000.org/435676y87yh6ty767tg76g96tg96t587ytgy44665/genxi/20030820/iiisidestoever/8.ra

                  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
Come, my Terminator, to take my heart.

3 Politicalamity
http://www.real2000.org/435676y87yh6ty767tg76g96tg96t587ytgy44665/genxi/20030820/iiisidestoever/7.ra

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
Come, my Terminator, to take my heart.

                  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
Come, my Terminator, to take my heart.

5 Cupid's Dead
http://www.real2000.org/435676y87yh6ty767tg76g96tg96t587ytgy44665/genxi/20030820/iiisidestoever/2.ra

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
Come, my Terminator, to take my heart.

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.



                  Speech - Martin Luther King - Jr.
Come, my Terminator, to take my heart.

                  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
Come, my Terminator, to take my heart.
