Oh, the night is my world City light, painted girl In the day nothing matters It’s the night time that flatters In the night, no control Through the wall something’s breaking Wearing white as you’re walking Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control You got me living only for the night Before the morning comes, the story’s told You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by I never stop myself to wonder why You help me to forget to play my role You take my self, you take my self control
I live among the creatures of the night I haven’t got the will to try and fight Against a new tomorrow So I guess I’ll just believe it That tomorrow never comes
A safe night I’m living in the forest of my dream I know the night is not as it would seem I must believe in something So I’ll make myself believe it That this night will never go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, the night is my world City light, painted girl In the day nothing matters It’s the night time that flatters
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh You take my self, you take my self control... 歌手资料:1957年出生于纽约的女歌手萝拉布兰妮根(Laura Branigan)成名之前曾是加拿大诗人兼歌手Leonard Cohen的合音.1982年,一曲Gloria使罗拉名声大噪.此后五年间她受到全球性的欢迎,也是她的黃金年代。声音高亢、略沙哑又带奔放的Laura擅长以欧陆舞曲风格赋予旧曲新生命並且选曲上有独到的国际色彩,数首畅销曲都是以英文翻唱意大利歌曲像在美国拿下亚军的Gloria,Ti Amo,以及这首Self Control。她的许多歌曲我们都可以在其他歌手那里听到,如Michael Bolton 的 How Am I Supposed To Live Without You、Donna Summer 的亚军曲Dim All The Lights、电影【霹雳男儿】插曲Show Me Heaven、日后被Celine Dion 唱红的Power Of Love都是她的佳作.可惜Laura Branigan 于2004年因脑瘤在睡梦中去世,让我们再次聆听这首全球经典舞曲,缅怀80年代的巨星风采~
