好像混到十级也没为吧里做贡献。。。正好练一下英语，大家随意看随意插~~~

一、showbiz（娱乐圈）
　　1.Sunburn（日灼）
　　钢琴和音的急速弹奏 紧接着更重的吉他副歌
Dom：“Sunburn是一首（两年前）在录音室里形成的歌。我记得Matt在钢琴 接着吉他上不断弹着一个旋律。然后我们加入了他。这是一首我们仍然，并一直会喜欢在现场表演的歌。它代表着在精神和肉体上进入一个新的世界，并且发现这个新世界不是你所想象的那样。它写于我们经历一系列改变的时候——我们从乱涂乱画，然后签约，到坐着头等舱飞向LA!”
　　Matthew Bellamy表示在乐队录专辑时，这首歌是他最喜欢的之一，但一开始总觉得它有点疲软：“我想要它听上去好极了。所以我们的制作人John Leckie（这货给原来也给rh制作过专辑）提议把吉他部分用钢琴取代。这似乎是我多年来第一次又开始弹钢琴，而我不得不花了两三天只为了练习这个相当简单的Sunburn。”
　　Bellamy说Sunburn是在录音室里作曲的。
　　07年7月18号，Sunburn的前奏被用来做BBC高尔夫球公开赛的背景音乐。
有可能和乐队签约前在财务上的低迷有关。
　　歌词也暗示有可能和脱衣舞女，娼妓以及夜总会有关。
　　另一种解释说这是一个在乐队成功前和其有关的女孩，Bellamy后悔离开了她，因为他把她视作明星。
Sunburn的早期小样有不同的歌词和延伸的结尾。整首歌由吉他演奏，似乎是John Leckie认为钢琴版本听起来更有冲击性前的最初版本。这个早期版本的歌词似乎和一段结束的关系有关。
　　有三个remix版本。

Come waste your millions here
Secretly she sneers
Another corporate show (Just like a virgin blows/Just like an angel glows)
A guilty conscience grows
And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
She burns like the sun
and I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons
make no mistakes
Come let the truth be shared
No one ever dared
To break these endless lies
Secretly she cries
She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons
Make no mistakes
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll run forever
I can't face the shame
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll run forever
I can't face the shame
歌词就不翻了，个人理解不同
Demo的前两段歌词不一样：
Let the truth be known
Life just carries on
When you're dead and gone
I'll still feel your glow
And I'll believe I'll still feel your glow
And I'll believe I'll still feel your glow

　 2. muscle museum(名字没什么特别意义，只是个梗~)
　　这首歌的创作起始于乐队创建早期在Matthew Bellamy家的排练，那时它的吉他在贝斯线和鼓之前就出来了。它最早以Muscle Museum EP发行，有两个版本。一个和后来Showbiz里的样子十分接近，另一个较短的是有雨声效果的原声版本。后来第二个被用到第一个的前奏部分。这个EP版本仍然和Showbiz里的不完全一样，因为专辑版有不同的低音鼓和副歌前段。
　　Bellamy说这首歌表达的是“身体和灵魂的冲突”——这是弗洛伊德关于欲望与理智之间冲突的观点。他后来又说这和未来没有实体只有意识的人类有关。这个想法来自于一本他读过的书。（这种事发生了多少次啊。。。我有预感我会不停地翻到这句话。）
　　歌的标题来自于Muse用过的一本字典，上面“muse”这个单词的前一个就是muscle，后一个就是museum。（这个大家都知道~）
　　你可以在“Muscle Museum”里听到Matt提到他的家乡，那时候人们仍然认为他们做出了错误的选择（to prove I've made a big mistake）。
　　Matt实际上唱了吉他的solo。“我想在副歌结束时弹奏一个巨大的史诗般的吉他solo，但当我这么做时，却忘记了和弦。接着我突然发现我正在哼这段solo。于是最后我通过Marshall amp（一个音箱牌子）唱了这一段，并且它听上去和吉他一模一样。”（这个真不知道！！瞬间回去听有木有）
2007年底以后，这首歌很少再被现场演奏过。
　　2010年1月，Howard（Dom）透露给Australia的Triple J radio说他很愿意再次现场演奏这首歌，只是因为Bellamy丢了这首歌某一段必备的（罕有的）效果器，它才离开了常备歌单。（这个吧里以前八过）

She had something to confess to
But you don’t have the time so
Look the other way
You will wait until it’s over
To reveal what you’d never shown her
Too little much too late
Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It’s escaped your world
Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own
I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I’ve made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It’s escaped your world
Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you yeah...
So I’ll do it on my own and
I’ll do it all by myself
And you will never make it

She had something to confess to

So I’ll do it on my own and
I’ll do it all by myself
And you will never make it

Leave me alone, it's nothing serious.
I'll do it myself, it's got nought to do with you
And there's nothing you could do.
You can see it and you can almost hear it too,
You can almost taste it, it's nought to do with you
And there's still nothing that you could do.
So come in my cave
and I'll burn your heart away.
Come in my cave,
and I'll burn your heart away.
Please close your ears and try to look away
So you'll never hear a single word I say
and don't ever come my way.
Leave me alone, it's nothing serious.
I'll do it myself, it's got nought to do with you
And there's still nothing you could do.
So come in my cave,
and I'll burn your heart away.
Come in my cave,
and arrest me for my mistakes. Yeah.

　　6.showbiz（娱乐圈）
　　第一张专辑的同名单曲，经常被认为是一首非常阴暗的歌。从开始的鼓声到结束时的吉他回馈以一种快速的节奏将歌推上高潮。
以升F小调谱曲，Showbiz是一首另类的摇滚歌曲。这首歌以简单的鼓声开头，接着在整首歌过程中堆积力度，直到以Bellamy一个极高的人声带来最高潮。简单的鼓声持续随着歌曲尾声渐隐。
　　Bellamy在这首歌里的音域从C
#3跨越到G#
5，同时标志了他至今的最高音（也在survival和micro cuts中出现）和Muse歌曲中 人声音域最广的之一。他偶尔会在现场达到A5。
　　（这一段有点不知道自己在翻什么。。。乐理不好没办法，不过知道吱吱唱歌很好就是了！！）
之后的现场版里在开头有多出来的吉他（Hullabaloo）。
　　Bellamy说过：“Showbiz唱的是我们如何在外表下都隐藏着我们的内心人格。”歌词极有可能描述了隐藏内心之人格的艰难，或者表演对于生活的巨大影响。
　　这首歌被用作H.A.A.R.P. DVD的背景音。

Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self destruction
Pushing us into self destruction
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams
Trying to please you for too long
Trying to please you for too long
In visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
They make me
Make me dream your dreams
They make me
Make me scream your screams
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
And forcing my darkest soul to unfold
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self destruction
And pushing us into self destruction
They make me, ooh
Make me dream your dreams
They make me, ooh
Make me scream your screams
Oooh....
Demo里歌词约莫一样，但是前后顺序有变化，有两句在正式里删掉了：
Trying to squeeze me for too long
In minions of greed you wallow
此外，Demo里是you make me，不是they make me。

　　7.unintended（始料未及）
　　原声指弹
在1999到2001的现场，Bellamy和Wolstenholme（C叔）都弹吉他。Matt的是电声，而Chris的有时是电的有时是原声。Chris还会用一个踏板控制器演奏贝斯。（C叔就是万能的神~~）07年以后，这首歌由E调改为D调。Matthew弹吉他，Chris弹贝斯，Nicholls偶尔会弹键盘。在The 2nd Law的巡演中，Matt只唱歌，而Chris弹电吉他。（为什么啊啊啊啊！！！）
　　Matt说这是另一首歌词在旋律之前被创作出来的歌（另一个是Falling down）。
　　Bellamy的解释是：“还有一些歌关于始料未及的爱情。我给那个女孩的歌是在录音室 写于我和她的一通电话后。我们把它称为unintended，是因为它来的没有缘由，而所有对这个女孩的感情 我也没料到它们的发生。”
　　在Muscle Museum EP中，Paul Reeve（这哥们儿除了打了这次酱油外，几乎合作制作了Muse的所有专辑，从这张EP一直到二货定律）负责和声。
（Remix版的相关信息我就不翻了，里面有些专业人士和专业词汇，我不太了解。其实我觉得几乎所有remix都是在毁原作有木有，不服来辩！<-这货抽了，不要理她。如果谁有特殊要求我再放上来。）

（话说谁能告诉我为什么有些图怎么粘都粘不上）
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I’ll always love
You could be the one who listens
To my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I’ll always love
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before
First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I’ll always love
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before
Before you

　　8.uno（一）
　　（终于到这首了，超喜欢啊啊啊！！！）
　　它是首非常简单，却又朴实认真的歌。
Muse的第一首单曲。
　　有原声版本。（在哪里？！）
　　为Showbiz录制这首歌时扩音器废掉了。录Escape时发生了同样的事情。
Uno中的主角可能和Hyper Music以及Hate this & I'll love you中的是同一个人；这个人在这之前与乐队有所交集，并且Bellamy有强烈的理由去讨厌她。

This means nothing to me
'cause you are nothing to me
And it means nothing to me
That you blew this away
'cause you could've been number one
If you only found the time
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the chance
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
You're still nothing to me
And this is nothing to me
And you don't know what you've done
But I'll give you a clue
You could've been number one
If you only had the chance
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the time
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away

　　9.sober（将醉未醉）
　　（好吧这个名字我乱翻的，感觉比较有美感，也蛮符合歌词）
　　另一个歌名为only（唯一）
有关于酗酒。这首歌提到了好几种不同的威士忌品牌，例如Royal Canadian（加拿大皇冠威士忌：为纪念英国King George VI及Queen Mary于1929年访问加拿大而配制的皇冠威士忌，是目前世界上最畅销的优质加拿大威士忌，口味清淡）、Wild Turkey（威凤凰——凤凰泥煤。。。明明就是火鸡——酒精含量较低，水含量也较低——那它还剩什么。。）、Arbourler and Jameson（这个神奇的度娘谷哥都没介绍）
　　这首歌给GT赛车3做了bgm。
（没找着封面）
Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
Matured for years and imported
Into my glass you poured it
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me
Wild Turkey's been chosen
Its caramel nose can smell me
Arbourler, Jameson I love you(It's running wild through my brain vein——live）
The single malts come burning（Only hatred remains——live）
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me.
Royal Canadian blended（Arbourler, Jameson I love you——demo）
The spicy aroma had mended me（The single malts come burning——demo）
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'cause you're so solid
It burns inside me

　　10.escape（逃离）
　　另一个名字是You're meaningless, escape your meaningless(你是无意义的，逃离你的无意义)
这首歌柔和地开始，接着爆发，然后变得相当重型。
这首歌的Showbiz专辑版和Muse EP版相差极大。
　　08年11月，粉丝问答时，问“告诉我们一首你们真的爱极了，但却被粉丝低估的歌。”Chris回答说：“我真的很喜欢第一张专的Escape。它不是我们真的 经常现场的歌，我也没听过谁说这是他们最喜欢的。真遗憾。”
　　Matt在录音过程中废掉了一个扩音器。它是老式的Burman combo。
1. 一个男人责问自己对自己所爱之人做的一切，也许会使她从此离去并留给他无尽的压抑。最终，他相信自己的人生已经失去意义并且无足轻重，并且没有人能改变他对此的想法。于是他选择通过自杀逃离自己的生命。
　　2. 有可能是一首关于Bellamy父母离婚的歌。歌词“why can't you just love her?”可能是Bellamy请求他的父亲留在他母亲身边。（我去好惨。。）“But I'll still take all the blame”可能表达了孩子如何觉得父母离婚是他们的错。（这个真的可能性很大诶。我记得以前看到过，由此采访马羞说 他最后悔的事是曾不小心砸碎了家里的镜子，他妈说这会让家里倒10年霉，然后第二年他爸妈就离婚了。。。）（如果真的是这个的话，那和歌词在一起真的觉得超难过额）
（还是无封面）
You would say anything
And you would try anything
To escape your meaningless
And your insignificance
You're uncontrollable
And we are unlovable
And I don't want you to think that I care
I never would, I never could again
Why can't you just love her?
Why be such a monster?
You bully from a distance
Your brain needs some assistance
But I'll still take all the blame
'Cause you and me are both one and the same
And its driving me mad
And its driving me mad
I'll take back all the things that I said
I didn't realize I was talking to the living dead
And I dont want you to think that I care
I never would, I never could again
You would say anything
And you would try anything
To escape your meaningless
And your insignificance

　　11.overdue（迟了）
　　Muse EP和Showbiz的版本不一样，中间有一段舒缓的过渡并且有多出来的歌词，同时省略了最后一遍副歌。（强烈推荐EP版，中间那段真心好听！！！）
（没有单独的封面）
You needed it when I was away
And no matter what I say
You’ll never forget when I wasn’t there so
Why should I care?
I’m young but I know that I’m aroused
You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
It doesn’t matter where I have gone
I just can’t afford to
Pay for all the mistakes that you have made
It’s about time I was paid
I’m young but I know that I’m aroused
You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
You know that I care
You should have been there
EP版多了：
You...
We really need to change it
And turn it over

（这张专最后一部分，睡觉去咯~）
　　*showbiz（album）
　　制作人：John Leckie, Paul Reeve
　　(出一张好的专辑制作人贡献也是很大的，让我们记住他们吧~)
　　美术：Matthew Bellamy，Tanya Andrew（前女友啊前女友这是！！大学美术专业）
Showbiz是Muse的处女作，在1998到1999年间录制。这些歌包括了早到96年的老歌。专辑里的所有歌在97年前都已完成。它们是Muse进入录音室之前写的“五十多首”歌中挑选出来的。乐队挑选了那些他们认为最不前卫的制作了Showbiz。
　　制作专辑的John Leckie在98年年末就开始参加Muse的演唱会。Leckie与Sawmills recording studio有很深联系，而乐队前一年在录音室所有者Dennis Smith的许可下在那里免费录制过Muse EP。他在那段时间和乐队建立了关系，并提出只要乐队愿意他想和他们一起工作。在Muse之前，Leckie已经有一段时间的空档期。没有和任何乐队合作。99年5月15号录制完成。
随附专辑的小册子里没有歌词，但是每首歌都有一句歌词被粗体引用。它在英国达到白金销量。
　　（这是超长一段，我看了下，就是各国不同版本，以及再版的信息。像我们一般人不收藏这种的，也没什么特别意义，就不翻了。废话好多，还没八卦= =）
10周年的时候有个送签名版专辑的有奖竞赛，问在Maverick之后哪个摇滚歌手尝试签约Muse？
　　答案是Serj Tankian（金属乐队System of a Down的主唱，作曲，键盘，偶尔客串旋律吉他）。
　　（这两个都是谁跟谁啊@_@为什么会有人知道答案。。。）

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much,
Too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth?
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up
You're unstoppable
'Cause you've seen, seen
Too much
Too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance to come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much,
Too young, young
Soulless is everywhere（Soulless is breaking me）
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'Cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
（然后再一次忽略remix吧，也是歌词有少许的省略和重排。听了一下毁得倒不是太厉害，但是怪怪的你们懂得。。。那个背景音处理地还蛮好听的，但是吉他！钢琴！你们给我回来- -）

Everything about you is how I'd wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less
Give me All the peace and joy in your mind
Everything about you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love T
hey're watching you from above
Give me All the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less
Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind
别的几个版本歌词没什么不一样，就是颠来倒去。
第一次现场后面多了半粒米的一句话。。。
"Ha ha ha. Yeah, we've never played that ever before." （= =自动脑补他的笑声有木有）
