It's About Fucking A Lot Of People" By Jarvis Cocker Posted on 05/26/09 at 02:41:52 pm 贾伯曰：「我的新专辑啊？就是在讲*哔*（消音）很多人啊。」 Last week saw the release of Jarvis Cocker's second solo album, 'Further Complications'. In this guest blog, the former Pulp frontman talks through the record, track by track. 本篇为贾伯为新专辑中每首歌做的短评。 Further Complications This song goes back to before I was born. It's got a bit of brass on there, which is something that I've always thought was the mark of when a band has really gone off the rails. 这首歌讲到我出生之前的事啦。里头有一些铜管乐－－我总觉得用上铜管乐时，表示 一个团开始步入歧途了。 Angela Angela is the girlfriend of our keyboard player, Simon Stafford, but I didn't realise that at the time. I was singing these words and I noticed that he was looking at me in a strange way. He said, "Why have you written a song about my girlfriend?" I'd forgotten that she was called Angela, so I think he thought I was trying to maybe move in on her. I assured him it was a co-incidence. 安洁拉是咱们键盘手Simon Stafford女友的名字，不过我写歌的时候并没想到。我唱着这 歌词时，发现他用奇怪的眼神看我。他说：「你干嘛写了首跟我女友有关的歌？」我都忘了 他女友就叫这名字；他大概觉得我想把他女友。我向他保证这只是巧合。 Pilchard This girl at our school wasn't particularly good-looking, but she became renowned for allowing boys to do things with her… she was referred to as 'Pilchard'. I quite like it being an instrumental because it gives me a chance to show off my guitar playing. 以前我学校有一个不太漂亮的女孩，她却因为常跟男生厮混而出名...她被大家称作 「沙丁鱼」。我很喜欢这首纯演奏曲，因为它给我机会秀一手吉他。 Leftovers There is this museum of palaeontology in Paris, I was there one day and saw a very attractive woman, and I just thought it was strange to be looking at dead creatures and having feelings of desire towards living creatures. 巴黎有个自然科学博物馆，有天我在那里看到一个大美女，心想，看着这些死去的生物， 同时又对活着的生物感受到欲望，真是奇怪的感觉啊。 I Never Said I Was Deep I'm not deep at all, I am profoundly shallow. Deep is someone who sees into the depths of the human condition and profoundly shallow is someone who knows everything about Roy Walker from Catchphrase. I consider it to be quite a heartfelt song, so much so that I may have 'I Never Said I Was Deep' engraved on my tombstone. 我完全没深度，却肤浅得很深入。深度呢，是指对人类现况有其洞见，但深入地肤浅则是 指一个对Catchphrase主持人Roy Walker了若指掌的人。这首歌完全贴切我的心声，贴切到 我以後可能会在墓碑上刻"I Never Said I Was Deep"这句话。 Homewrecker! Theres a homewrecker within all of us. Well, maybe more the male of the species. The long sax solo is by the guy who played with the Stooges on Fun House [Steve MacKay]. 每个人的心中都有着不安於室的外遇魂。好吧，也许男性的比率高一些。这里面萨克斯风 的solo，是由在The Stooges的Fun House里吹奏的Steve MacKay演奏的。 Hold Still For about ten minutes I thought Id lost my son at St Pancras Station. Of all the places to lose a kid an international train station is probably the worst you could pick. Immediately you imagine that they're being put on a train to some weird place on the continent. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. 曾经在St Pancras车站，有约莫十分钟的时间，我以为儿子走丢了。发生跟孩子失散这种 事，最糟的场合大概就是像这样的国际型火车站了。你马上就会想像孩子被带上火车，然後 被载去一些奇怪的地方。那是我人生中最冲击的经验之一。 Fuckingsong I bought a new guitar when we were in Los Angeles and I came up with that mindless riff on it [see intro]. By writing songs you can metaphorically fuck a lot of people at the same time. This song is about how that's probably the best way to have a relationship. A song always performs its best each time whereas with a real person, sometimes they get drunk and can't perform at all. 在LA的时候，我买了把新吉他，写出了这歌里那段没脑（？）的riff。藉由写歌， 你可以说是同时*哔*了很多人。这首歌写的就是这为何可能是最佳的交往方式。一首歌 在每次播放的时候，都能有同样好的表现，但真人嘛，有时候他们搞不好醉到根本没力做。 Caucasian Blues Blues music was a way for black people to express their frustration and anger and it's strange that it became the music of choice for middle-aged white men. I'm quite glad that the record's coming out at this time, with all these people whinging on about the credit crunch. That's 'Caucasian Blues'. 蓝调是黑人用来表达挫折感与愤怒的管道，很奇怪的是，它却变成中年白人男子选择的 音乐。我很高兴这张专辑是在这时间发行，一堆人在抱怨信用紧缩的事。标准的 「白人蓝调／悲歌」。 Slush I was on this thing organised by Cape Farewell, who take creative people to the North Pole, and they hope that they produce some kind of work that's informed by that experience and climate change. One day the North Pole won't be ice any more, it will be that horrible mucky slush that you get in cities. 我参加了一个Cape Farewell安排的活动，他们带了一些创作人去北极，希望这些人能根据 此行的经验与气候变迁的现象，创造出一些作品。有一天北极将不再是冰，而变成城市 里常见的讨厌融雪。 You're In My Eyes (Disco Song) It's quite nice to go out on disco song, innit? 用Disco歌曲收尾很好，不是吗？ --
