今天下午

今天去逛唱片行，去了一家平常常去看的二手唱片行，印象中他被我歸類為老舊的唱片行。這是一家很妙的店，裡面甚麼都賣，卡帶，海報，衣服，黑膠，書籍，雜誌，賣一大堆亂七八糟的東西。不過我平常都是去逛黑膠，他黑膠收藏的量之多，不過大多都是很舊的唱片。像是 The Everly Brothers，或是 Donna Summer 這類的唱片。今天去看，主要是想要找 Françoise Hardy 或是 Singles Soundtrack 的黑膠唱片。結果兩個都沒找到，卻讓我找到一間密室，充滿寶藏的密室。裡面也是一大堆唱片，我先在 Joy Division/New Order 區看了一下，居然有 "Ceremony" 的十二吋黑膠，我看到整個大嗨！雖然不是我夢想中那白色和淺藍色的封面，但是卻是原版深綠色的。接著，在其他區翻翻，又找到 The Replacements 的 Stink 黑膠，跟 Don't Tell A Soul 黑膠。看到時真的是超級無敵的爽。接著在 J區，又找到了 JAMC "April Skies" 的十二吋黑膠。在 S 區，有 The Smiths A面是"Sheila Take A Bow"，B面是 "Is It Really So Strange"/"Sweet and Tender Hooligan"還有 Stone Roses "Sally Cinnamon" 的十二吋。也找到我之前找都找不到的 Tom Waits 黑膠唱盤。在那間小小的密室裡，我隨便翻翻就拿了五張黑膠我真的很想買的，如果隨便拿的話，應該可以拿個四五十張吧。因為上面都沒標價錢，我拿去櫃檯問，準備打算把這幾張黑膠帶回家。結果問了一下，十二吋單曲一張要 AU$30，專輯則要一張 AU$40，算成台幣差不多一張黑膠一千塊左右。這個價錢，我實在是買不下手。而且店員告訴我，那間平常是不能進去的。也是阿，這些唱片如果隨便擺在外面早就被人家買走了，還輪的到我。唉，是白開心了一場。不過，真的，我好想買 "Ceremony" 跟 "April Skies" 這兩張單曲黑膠...

New Order, BBC, 1984

我一直認為New Order是看起來最不搖滾的搖滾天團。
除了Hooky的打扮Hard-Core一點，Barney跟Stephen看起來就是乖乖牌。
更不用說Gillian，她真的就是個家庭主婦！
看這1984年在BBC電台的表演就知道了。

Turn My Way

I wanna Get Ready, but not so much at the moment...
Still can't get my head on the work like I'm supposed to

Just another day in the week
Waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Searching for another place in another time

Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be caught
Real love can't be sold
It's another color than gold

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

Standing on top of the world
Thinking at the joy you bring when you do that thing to me
You sure know a lot for a girl
You could bring the good times back get me on the track

Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be caught
Real love can't be sold
It's another color than gold

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)
(I need your love)

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong
You and me just can't go wrong

黃立行的最後只好躺下來，怎麼聽都像這首歌。
一樣的開頭，一樣的節奏，一樣的編排。
不過當然還是有不一樣的地方。
之前並沒有特別注意到這首歌，因為他只是首流行歌，
就以紐握達的標準來說。
可是忽然聽到，感覺兩首歌還真像。

Regret

Regret by New Order

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say

Just before they fall apart

Favourite song by New Order
This video is from their DVD, New Order Story. I love that documentary!
