Congratulations

MGMT

美国独立摇滚乐队MGMT在2010年4月发行了新专辑Congratulations，其中这首同名歌曲Congratulations，在今年滚石杂志评选的年度最佳50首歌曲中（50 Best Songs Of 2010）排名第46。歌词讲述的是fast fame，一夜成名的故事，all I need's a great big congratulations，名誉当头，我们都会迷失吗？

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city officials attend demonstrations
It's hardly sink or swim
When all is well if the tickets sell

Out with the whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
but all is lost if it's never heard

But I've got someone to make reports
And tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my blinds
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a great big congratulations

I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems,
I'd rather dissolve
Than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
Steinways and Baldwins
you start with a simple stock
of all the waste and salt to taste

But damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up
"Congratulations"
