《The Talkin’ Song Repair Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Talkin' Song Repair Blues - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[00:00:17] The mechanic raised up from under my hood

[00:00:19] He shook his head and said "This ain't good

[00:00:21] Your timin' belt's done shrunk one size too small"

[00:00:26] "Those spark plug wires are a little too long

[00:00:28] And your main prodsponder's nearly gone

[00:00:31] Your injector ports are stripped and that ain't all"

[00:00:36] "The torque converter's runnin' low on torque

[00:00:38] And that water pump's nearly down a quart

[00:00:40] We caught it all in time so you're in luck"

[00:00:45] He said "I've got the time and I've got the parts

[00:00:47] Just give me the word and I'm ready to start

[00:00:50] I think we can bring her in for eight hundred bucks"

[00:00:55] But don't be downhearted

[00:00:56] I can fix it for you sonny

[00:01:00] It won't take too long

[00:01:01] It'll just take money

[00:01:07] Then he said "Aren't you that songwriter guy "

[00:01:10] And I said "Yes I am " he said "So am I"

[00:01:12] He sat down and played me a song by the grease rack

[00:01:17] When he finished singin' he gave me a smile

[00:01:19] And I closed my eyes and pondered awhile

[00:01:22] And he said "What do you think Now don't hold nothin' back"

[00:01:27] Well I gave him my most sorrowful look

[00:01:29] And I said "This song's got a broken hook

[00:01:31] And I can order you a new one from Nashville but it won't be cheap"

[00:01:36] And I know you've been using a cut-rate thesaurus

[00:01:38] 'Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus

[00:01:41] Now your verse is runnin' on verbs that are way too weak

[00:01:46] But don't be downhearted

[00:01:48] I can fix it for you sonny

[00:01:51] It won't take too long

[00:01:53] It'll just take money

[00:01:58] And I said "Hold on friend now I'm not through

[00:02:01] I hate to be the one to give you this news

[00:02:03] But your whole melodic structure's done worked itself loose"

[00:02:08] "It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it

[00:02:10] I'd keep her under fifty beats per minute

[00:02:13] I mean that's just me talkin' it's really up to you"

[00:02:18] You've got a bad safety problem with

[00:02:20] That dominant chord with the augmented fifth

[00:02:23] Just see how dangerously high it raises you up

[00:02:27] So just go on over and work on my car

[00:02:30] I'll sit here by the fan and chances are

[00:02:32] I can straighten this thing out for eig ehh nine hundred bucks

[00:02:39] But don't be downhearted

[00:02:41] I can fix it for you sonny

[00:02:44] It won't take too long

[00:02:50] You guessed it

[00:02:54] It may be a hit

[00:02:56] I like it
