New Routine
Fountains of Wayne
New Routine 歌词
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
两个男人坐在餐厅的一角
他俩看起来都有点像卡尔.雷纳(美国演员名)
Both of them look quite a bit like Carl Reiner
其中一人吞云吐雾尽管有明令禁止(吸烟)
女服务生前来阻止他,可他说瘾太大了忍不住
One of them is smoking even though the sign says not to
他们重复着他们彼此熟悉的老笑话
他们谈论着房产,生产,好市多超市等现实话题
The waitress says to stop he says sorry but I've got to
当他们吃完离开时在桌上留了20美分小费
女服务生过来收掉吃剩的面包圈和小费
They tell each other jokes that they both know that they both know
当她漂泊的时光结束时,她决定回到纽约的米尼奥拉
但现在她还是坐在沙发上,一边喝着健怡可乐一边抱怨道:
They talk about real estate prostates Costco
我真的,真的受够了这个地方!我如此渴望生活出现新的变化
我只是寻觅一种崭新的生活方式
And when they finish up they leave a twenty on the table
所以她转动手中的地球仪,想必你已猜到接下来的故事了
她现在生活在列支敦士登(瑞士和奥地利之间的小公国)
The waitress picks it up with their half-eaten bagels
可她不通德语,只会简单的西语交流
但几周过后,她认为自己还是可以勉强应付
And when her shift is over she goes back to Mineola
但在这除了银行交易和滑雪没有它事可做
Sits on the couch opens up a diet cola and says
所以她和她刚见面不久的男友分手了
I'm so I'm so sick of this place I'm so ready for a change of pace
他用一辆柴油版奔驰把她送到了机场
I'm just looking for a new routine
他回想自己:我在女人面前显得如此软弱,我
So she spins her globe and the next thing you know
我简直,简直恨透了这个地方
She's living in Liechtenstein
我期盼自己的生活迎来新的转机
我不过是在寻求一种美好的新生活
She doesn't speak German only high school Spanish
于是他紧压着自己的帽子
在地图上画了一个目标
But within a few weeks she discovers she can manage
如今他居住在鲍灵格林(美国城市名)
他一路打拼
But there's not much going on except for banking and skiing
在拉昆塔酒店得到了一份工作
为他的女经理所倾倒
So she breaks up with the man that she just started seeing
但她正打算回加拿大
她已辗转过劳阿诺克(美国城市名),雷克雅维克(冰岛首都)和罗马
He drops her at the airport in a diesel Mercedes
她明白他很好,但她现在只想踏上归家的旅途
Thinks to himself I'm so feeble with the ladies and I
两个男人一起坐在饭馆的一边
I'm so I'm so sick of this place
其中一人兴致勃勃地谈及去中国的旅行
I'm so ready for a change of pace
自称这是趁风华正茂之时就该去做的事之一
I'm just looking for a new routine
(另一个男人说)你的好意我心领了,到了中国帮我带个春卷回来吧
So he grabs his cap
帮我带回来吧(也暗指这几个故事的循环往复)
Throws a dart at a map
And now he's living in Bowling Green
He talks his way into
A job at La Quinta
Falls for the manager
Who's moving back to Canada
She's tried Roanoke Reykjavik Rome
Says you're really sweet but I just want to go home
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
One of them says I might take a trip to China
It's one of those things we should do before we're too old
Thanks but no thanks bring me back an egg roll
Bring it back
