Tell Me on a Sunday－Crystal Violet

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber/Lyrics: Don Black

Don't write a letter when you want to leave.
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment.
I'd like to choose how I hear the news.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Let me down easy, no big song and dance.
No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation.
I know the way we should spend the day.
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Don't want to know who's to blame,
It won't help knowing.
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door,
That's no way to end this,
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

I don't want to fight day and night,
Bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door,
That's no way to end this.
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Don't run off in the pouring rain.
Don't call me as they call your plane.
Take that hurt out of all the pain.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

第一次聽到這首歌,也是很久很久以前的事了.那時聽的版本是原唱Sara Brightman唱的,沒聽過其他人唱,無從比較起,就覺得真是好聽得不得了.沒想到演藝圈就是這樣,日日夜夜就是被觀眾拿來東比西比,一下就被比下去了.也不能怪Sara啦,她那個髮型跟緊緻的臉(不是手術硬拉過的),看起來就是還在Webber羽翼下受盡呵護的青春美麗小鳥,小孩子家家懂什麼人間疾苦呢.Crawford這個版本已經是歷盡滄桑,早經無數的挫敗與榮耀,風塵歲月淘洗過了,這樣比實在不大公平啦.

請注意:這是Jonny Carson Show,一個有名的脫口秀節目(有網友把Johnny跟豬哥亮放在一起比擬XD).居然聽到這麼誠意十足的演唱!完全演繹出一個明明被甩,心中卻不抱著對對方的怨懟,硬忍著傷心,仍願溫柔對待這段感情直到結束的情場失意男子(到底是要愛得多深才能醬啊??).唉,心痛啊,聽到後來眼眶都溼了.這不過是個脫口秀節目啊,也要入戲這麼深嗎,克勞福先生.

下面是Sara Brightman版本,有網友評之為"不知所云".唉.沒辦法,被比下去嘍.
