Frank Turner说的“没有诗歌，生命就没有意义”。这就是为什么Frank Turner选择做一个乐手，为的是要保持住生活中的诗意和浪漫，没了这些他的音乐就毫无意义，生活也一样。要诗意但不要矫情，这就是Frank Turner朋克民谣的全部。

 

 

?Hear ye, hear ye, friends and Romans, countrymen.

Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen

Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren.

The time is coming near.

 

Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate¹ circus tops.

Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring snobs².

Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats³.

The sound is ringing clear.

 

Now who'd have thought that after all,

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.

And who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll.

 

Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody could take this stage.

Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage.

Hear ye, hear ye, these folk songs for the modern age,

Will hold us in their arms.

 

Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home.

Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone.

Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones.

We hold them in our hearts.

 

Now who'd have thought that after all,

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.

Now who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll.

 

And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints.

Yeah, in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound,

That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down.

 

And I still believe (I still believe) in the need,

For guitars and drums and desperate poetry.

And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone,

Can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won.

 

So just remember folks we not just saving lives, we're saving souls,

And we're having fun.

 

And I still believe.

 

Now who'd have thought that after all,

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.

Now who'd have thought that after all,

Something so simple, something so small.

Who'd have thought, that after all it's rock 'n' roll?
