《Love and Death and an American Guitar(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Love And Death And An American Guitar (Album Version) - Jim Steinman

[00:00:11] I remember everything

[00:00:14] I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday

[00:00:19] I was barely seventeen and I once killed a boy with a fender guitar

[00:00:26] I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster

[00:00:30] But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome

[00:00:33] And a voice like a horny angel

[00:00:37] I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster

[00:00:40] But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy

[00:00:45] It required the perfect combination of the right power chords

[00:00:49] And the precise angle from which to strike

[00:00:53] The guitar bled for about a week afterward

[00:00:56] And the blood was ugh dark and rich like wild berries

[00:01:03] The blood of the guitar was chuck berry red

[00:01:08] The guitar bled for about a week afterward but it rung out beautifully

[00:01:14] And I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before

[00:01:22] So I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall

[00:01:29] I smashed it against the floor

[00:01:31] I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader

[00:01:34] Smashed it against the hood of a car

[00:01:36] Smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson

[00:01:40] The Harley howled in pain the guitar howled in heat

[00:01:44] And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom

[00:01:49] Mummy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight

[00:01:55] Slowly I opened the door creeping in the shadows

[00:01:59] Right up to the foot of their bed

[00:02:01] I raised the guitar high above my head

[00:02:04] And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down

[00:02:08] Upon the center of the bed my father woke up screaming stop

[00:02:12] Wait a minute stop it boy what do ya think you're doin'

[00:02:19] That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument

[00:02:24] And I said god dammit daddy

[00:02:29] You know I love you but you got a hell of a lot

[00:02:33] To learn about rock an' roll
