Procol Harum~A Whiter Shade Of Pale

這是一首經典長青的好歌,相信在未來歲月中也能經得起任何年代的考驗,定能令每代的知音著迷,感染力極強的意境,幻化出一幅海市蜃樓的景像,令人不停地一遍又一遍地聆聽,沉醉、、、於眼前的海市蜃樓,永不幻烕!。


A Whiter Shade Of Pale


We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray


***
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale ***


She said, there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as wellve been closed

據說唱片公司因為原版本過長,只發行較短版本;長版本就只能於演唱會裡才能聽得到。

She said, Im home on shore leave,
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
