Today's song is
"Downtown" by Bristow
Written by: Bristow

In a quiet town with no action.
I need a taste of life, some satisfaction.
Can I get by, staying?
Opportunities lie in the skyline.
A chance to get away, from this slow life.
Can I get by, staying?

People smoking, and joking, and drinking, and thinking of new things.
The music's loud, the air is cold, and all the phones ring.
And we can talk about the way things were before Downtown.

Downtown, I can hear you calling.
Downtown, When the sun is falling.
Downtown, This is where I want to belong.

I sit and watch the world, passing me by.
I can't forgive myself, if I don’t try.
I can’t get by, staying.
There is something pulling me, out of my seat.
Its pushing me along, its got in my feet.
I can't get by, staying.

People loving me, hating, me shoving me, hugging me, chasing me.
Trying to pick my pocket, take my watch so they can hock it, thats OK.
Cause I remember the days, before Downtown.

Downtown, I can hear you calling.
Downtown, When the sun is falling.
Downtown, This is where I want to belong.
Downtown, With the smoggy skies.
Downtown, When the sun is rising.
Downtown, This is where I want to belong.

People smoking, and joking, and drinking, and thinking of new things.
The music's loud, the air is cold, and all the phones ring.
And we can talk about the way things were before Downtown.
People loving me, hating, me shoving me, hugging me, chasing me.
Trying to pick my pocket, take my watch so they can hock it, thats OK.
Cause I remember the days, before Downtown.


動きのない静かな街の中で
私は人生を味気なく感じる。
なんとか暮らすことができる?耐えることができる?
できやしない。
このつまらない生活から抜け出すチャンスを。
なんとか暮らすことができる?耐えることができる?

人々はタバコを吸い、冗談を言い、お酒を飲み、新しいことを思う。
耳障りな音楽、冷たい空気、けたたましく鳴る電話。
大都会を好き勝手話す。

大都会、君が呼んでる。
大都会、太陽が沈んだとき。
大都会、こここそが私の理想の場所だ。

僕はただ世界をぼんやり見ているだけだ。
もし挑戦しないなら、自分自身を許せない。
なんとか暮らすことができる?耐えることができる?
都会には僕を惹きつけるなにかがある。
僕は立ち上がる。
なんとか暮らすことができる?耐えることができる?

人々は僕を愛し、嫌い、押しのけ、抱きしめ、追いかける。
すりをされ、僕の腕時計を質に入れられたっていい。
大都会を好き勝手話す。

大都会、君が呼んでる。
大都会、太陽が沈んだとき。
大都会、こここそが私の理想の場所だ。
大都会、曇り空にも。
大都会、太陽は昇る。
大都会、こここそが私の理想の場所だ。

人々はタバコを吸い、冗談を言い、お酒を飲み、新しいことを思う。
耳障りな音楽、冷たい空気、けたたましく鳴る電話。
人々は僕を愛し、嫌い、押しのけ、抱きしめ、追いかける。
すりをされ、僕の腕時計を質に入れられたっていい。
大都会を好き勝手話す。
