这首歌的得来也属误打误撞,尽管我知道Duran Duran,但对其曾经的成员Stephen Duffy还是陌生的。
Stephen Duffy的音乐,有着明显的英伦风格特征:优雅,从容,甚至还有些绅士。
简单的旋律下,Stephen Duffy给了我一个画面,一个故事,或许还有一份期待中的浪漫。

[背景]
In 1978, John Taylor (guitar), Nick Rhodes (keyboard) and Stephen Duffy (vocals & bass) formed a band called "Duran Duran." But in 1979, before Duran Duran became wildly succesful, Duffy moved on.
He formed "Tin Tin" in 1982 and within 24 hours had recorded "Kiss Me," which peaked at 155 in the UK charts. Signed to Sire Records in America the following year, the single became a club hit.
In 1984, Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy was signed to 10 Records. In 1985, a new version of "Kiss Me" made it to number 22 inside a week. Within three it hit silver (250,000). During his time at 10 he released three albums and a slew of singles attributed to Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy, Stephen Duffy and Dr. Calculus.
1987 saw formation of The Lilac Time which
generated several releases before eventually splitting up in 1991.
He resumed his solo career as Duffy.
Duffy's journey continues... most notably (chartwise) producing material for Robbie Williams.
[歌词]
I wonder who's coming out today
To play in sheltered shopping centres
Sitting around the stagnant fountain
Counting pennies eating peanuts
Brown paper, babies and check out girls
In uniform and furniture boys
Who we used to know don't say hello
But that's okay that's okay
'Cause when the sun comes down
And you come home
We'll have two weeks all alone
Before you have to go back to school
Which ruins everything.
Wednesday Jones is growing up
And if she goes I'll never catch her
On the petrol station forecourt
All thumbs and old suede jacket
Catch the bus back to the house
The front room's ours and we can stay there
Stared out the window for an hour
Until I too went away went away
'Cause when the sun comes down
And we're apart
Another one must claim my heart
And Wednesday Jones and I won't be
Each others lover
