You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin、
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It、s hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
(let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you
幾年前,我在前進天堂這部片子裡聽到這首歌,就像著了迷一樣。
小女孩的歌聲,很pure,很自然,一絲絲的哀愁,也流露出最動人的情感,讓整部片注入了最重要的血脈-『You better let somebody love you ,before it's too late....』
其實它要描述的主體就是上面那張海報的slogon,『How far will you go to keep a secret?』它是要講每個人在黑暗裡不為人知的祕密,不是像便祕和香港腳這種鳥祕密,而是會死人的那一種;想像你最好的朋友,可能是個性虐狂,這樣子的衝突其實是很有撼動力的,只是這部片中並沒有好好善用它,在刻畫Miles這個角色略顯不足,以致片子最後的高潮如曇花一現,反而讓觀看的人跑去同情最衰的陌生人-布伯。
