Mr. Jones 歌詞

 

 

Mr. Jones(Complete version originally performed by Counting Crows) - Various Artists (歐美群星)

Sha la la la la la la

 

Mmm

Uh huh

 

I was down at the New Amsterdam

 

Staring at this yellow-haired girl

Mr Jones strikes up a conversation

With a black-haired flamenco dancer

You know she dances while his father plays guitar

She's suddenly beautiful

Oh We all want something beautiful

 

Man I wish I was beautiful

 

So come dance the silence down through the morning

 

Sha la la la la la la la

Yeah

 

Uh huh

 

Yeah

 

Cut up Maria

 

Show me some of that Spanish dancin'

Pass me a bottle Mr Jones

 

Believe in me

 

Help me believe in anything

'Cause I want to be someone who believes

 

Yeah

 

Mr Jones and me

Tell each other fairy tales

And we stare at the beautiful women

 

She's looking at you

Ah no no she's looking at me

Smilin' in the bright lights

 

Coming through in stereo

When everybody loves you

 

You can never be lonely

Well I'm gonna paint my picture

 

Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful

Yeah well you know gray is my favorite color

 

I felt so symbolic yesterday

If I knew Picasso

I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Mr Jones and me

Look into the future

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women

 

She's looking at you

I don't think so

She's looking at me

Standing in the spotlight

 

I bought myself a gray guitar

When everybody loves me

 

I will never be lonely

 

I will never be lonely

 

Said I'm never gonna be

 

Lonely

 

I wanna be a lion

 

Yeah everybody wants to pass as cats

We all wanna be big big stars

Yeah but we got different reasons for that

 

Believe in me

 

'Cause I don't believe in anything

And I wanna be someone to believe to believe to believe

Yeah

Mr Jones and me

Stumbling through the Barrio

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women

 

She's perfect for you

Man there's got to be somebody for me

I wanna be Bob Dylan

Mr Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

When everybody love you

Oh Son that's just about as funky as you can be

Mr Jones and me

Starin' at the video

When I look at the television I wanna see me

 

Staring right back at me

We all wanna be big stars

But we don't know why and we don't know how

But when everybody loves me

I'm wanna be just about as happy as I can be

Mr Jones and me

 

 

Gonna be big stars
