本日好好聽 - Ute Lemper "The Case Continues"

我好喜歡 Ute Lemper
所有的專輯不管是德文法文英文全部能收的都盡量收集
2000年還在英國唸書的時候就特地跑去看她的表演

雖然她以灌錄百老匯大師 Kurt Weill 的作品聞名
但她在倫敦上檔的 Chicago 裡面飾演 Velma Kelly
才是讓世人眼睛為之一亮的極品表現

這首歌是2000年專輯 Punishing Kiss 的主打
波麗露式的編曲神祕又性感
管弦樂的加入漸漸帶出驚人氣勢
非常精彩的作品

The Case Continues
Written by Neil Hannon & Joby Talbot

The victim was a woman a woman in her prime
The suspect was a lover he had no alibi
The weapon was a phone call in the dead of night
You know I never really thought you had it in you
The case continues

The suspect was a cruel self-motivated man
He held the victim's heart in the palm of his hand
The motive is a mystery I'll never understand
The final cut went deep down to the very sinew
The case continues

Why did the blood-stained sheets that burned turn quite so cold
My only crime was passion wild and uncontrolled
If sex were an Olympic sport we'd've won the gold
Oh tell me that there's still a little love left in you
The case continues

The final cut went deep down to the very sinew
The case continues

The victim is in shock there's not much more to say
The suspect made a smooth and silent get-away
The scars may slowly heal but they never go away
I only hope that one day you understand just what I've been through
The case continues

I only hope that one day you understand just what I've been through

Oh tell me that there's still a little love left in you
The case continues
