Taking Backing Sunday - Miami
Album: Louder Now
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
Stop me if you\'ve heard this one before
The whole truth is nothing but a good excuse
So long as you don\'t torture me with my past
Let\'s be honest; a secret silenced is a secret safe
Miami, Miami, Miami
Well every hour on the hour
(every hour on the hour)
You have to, you just have to trust me
Whoever I was then,
I can\'t ever be again
Reminders, they are not reluctant
So stop me if you\'ve heard this one before
Sideways blinders,
I can\'t find a way (around a way) around..
Miami, Miami, Miami
Well every hour on the hour (every hour on the hour)
You have to, you just have to trust me
Whoever I was then,
I can\'t ever be again
The faith you found I never felt (never felt)
The terror held in wedding bells
And comfort in there\'s no one else
The truth be told I\'m never gonna know
Miami Miami Miami
Well every hour on the hour (every hour on the hour)
Unhand me, God damn me, Miami
Whoever I was then I can\'t ever be again
The terror held in wedding bells
The comfort in there\'s no one else
The truth be told I\'m never gonna know
The terror held in wedding bells
The comfort in there\'s no one else
The truth be told I\'m never gonna know

John Mellencamp的《Miami》 歌词
迈阿密
Miami
美国佛罗里达州东南部滨海城市,运输业、商业中心,海滨旅游胜地。市区面积88平方千米。人口约38.1万。市区沿比斯坎湾延伸19.2公里,宽13公里。港口深奥。这里虽因疗养旅游而发展,但其中心在比斯坎湾对岸的迈阿密比奇。16世纪西班牙人在此发现有2000年历史的印第安村庄。1821年归属美国。1896年设市,修建铁路,疏浚港口,建起皇家帕姆饭店,旅游业兴起。之后城市迅速发展。本市以工商业为主,主要工业部门有电子、电器、服装、食品、塑料制品、装饰品等,为全国第三大服装中心,也是葡萄、水果等集散地。渔业亦盛。陆、海军基地。为与拉美航空交通的中继站。重要的金融中心,有100 余家本国和外国银行。城西的迈阿密国际机场辟有国内外航线60余条。道奇岛等地建有大型客运码头,已替代纽约成为美国最大的客运港。市区与郊区间有高架铁路连接。旅游业为经济支柱。全市有豪华旅馆400多家,可同时接待 20万游客。雅兹卡亚艺术馆是宏伟的别墅式建筑。市区还设有蛇类展出馆、水族馆、费尔柴尔德热带公园等。建有迈阿密大学等6所高等院校和博物馆、图书馆等。海洋和气象学科研机构闻名世界。
驾车南下西礁岛,都会经过一个又一个叫Key的岛屿,迈阿密有一个着名的Key,是全城风景最秀丽之地。这个岛,就是Key Biscayne。Rickenbacker Causeway两面风光,靓绝南佛罗里达州。
去游Key Biscayne,须付一元过桥费,但单是欣赏两面海景,已经值回票价。这个复活节假期,最适宜一家老少一日游。
居住在南佛州的人,对Biscayne(必士京)这个英文字应该不会陌生。必士京大道,是贯通南北的U.S.1干线在迈阿密一段道路的别称;必士京园,是北迈阿密的一个小镇;必士京湾,是Key Biscanne与迈阿密之间的一个海湾。
从桥上远望必士京湾,令人心旷神怡。
Biscayne一字,源自印第安语Bischiyano,意思是「月亮初升之地」。这段非常诗情画意的小掌故,相信连老一辈的迈阿密居民亦未必知道。
据地理学家研究,必士京岛是分布于南佛州二百多哩沿岸众多小岛中位置最北的一个,与最南的西礁岛互相呼应,名气亦以这两岛最响。
通往必士京岛的叫Rickenbacker Causeway,这条纪念前东方航空公司(Eastern Airlines)创办人Eddie Rickenbacker的桥道,总长约九哩,其中有三分之一是建于海上,桥高七十五呎,北望迈阿密滩,南面整个必士京湾可尽入眼帘。桥道可容六线行车,两旁并设有行人径及单车路,不少人专程往泊车后,徒步到桥上欣赏风光。
杀人鲸Lolita表演,是海洋馆最吸引节目之一。
在必士京岛上,最着名的旅游胜地就是“迈阿密海洋馆”(Miami Seaquarium)。这个建于一九五五年的海洋主题公园,主角是五吨重的杀人鲸lolita及海豚Flipper。六零年代,美国电视剧 Flipper,外景全部在该处拍摄;剧中那条善解人意的海豚Flipper,至今仍未为人忘怀。虽然原本的Flipper早已去世,但公园仍批准后来负责表演的海豚沿用此名字,增加号召力。不少当年只有十来岁,跟随父母到Seaquarium看Flipper的年轻人,今天虽已是花甲老翁,但仍带着孙儿前去捧场,热情未减。
三十五英亩的Miami Seaquarium,已有四十五年历史。
Miami Seaquarium占地三十五英亩,全年365日开放,公园内还有鲨鱼馆、海牛馆、热带水族馆及海狮表演。入场费成人.95,三至九岁小童.95。
灯塔与旁边的小屋,是佛罗里达州古迹之一。
在迈阿密海洋馆向必士京岛进发,尽头处就是「标伯斯佛州海角公园」(Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Recreation Area)。这个占地四百英亩的州立公园,可谓历尽沧桑。它在九二年飓风安德鲁吹袭南佛州时被彻底破坏,园内六十万棵松树悉数被毁,要花多年时间复修后才再次开放。
公园的最南端,有一座一百五十五年历史的八十五呎砖造灯塔,灯塔作用是向往来船只示警,避免触礁。不过,当地印第安红人与白人发生冲突,一度向驻守灯塔的日人部队袭击,白人不敌撤退,留下一名与灯塔共存亡的管理员,结果惨被杀害,灯塔亦被烧毁。灯塔后来重建,其中一个目的是悼念英魂。佛州政府其后亦在灯塔旁,兴建一间仿制该名遇难管理员生前居住的房舍;到该处游览,可以顺便参观,看看百多年前佛罗里达州人的生活模式。

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Miami, uh, uh
Southbeach, bringin the heat, uh
Haha, can y'all feel that
Can y'all feel that
Jig it out, uh
Here I am in the place where I come let go
Miami the base and the sunset glow
Everyday like a mardi gras, everybody party all day
No work all play, okay
So we sip a little something, lay to rest the spill
Me an Charlie at the bar runnin up a high bill
Nothin less than ill, when we dress to kill
Everytime the ladies pass, they be like (Hi Will)
Can y'all feel me, all ages and races
Real sweet faces
Every different nation, Spanish, Hatian, Indian, Jamaican
Black, White, Cuban, and Asian
I only came for two days of playing
But everytime I come I always wind up stayin
This the type of town I could spend a few days in
Miami the city that keeps the roof blazin
Party in the city where the heat is on
All night, on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami
Buenvenidos a Miami
Bouncin in the club where the heat is on
All night, on the beach till the break of dawn
I'm goin to Miami
Welcome to Miami
Yo I heard the rainstorms ain't nothin to mess with
But I can't feel a drip on the strip, it's a trip
Ladies half-dressed, fully equipped
And they be screamin out, (Will we loved your last hit)
So I'm thinkin I'ma scoot me somethin hot
In this south-sea merengue melting pot
Hottest club in the city, and it's right on the beach
Temperature get to ya, it's about to reach
Five-hundred degrees
In the carribean seas, with the hot mommies
Screamin (Aii poppy)
Everytime I come to town, they be spottin me
In the drop Bentley, ain't no stoppin me
So, cash in your door
We flow to this fashion show
Pound for pound anywhere you go
Yo, ain't no city in the world like this
An if you ask how I know I gots ta feed the film
Don't get me wrong, Shytown got it goin on
An New York is the city that we know don't sleep
An we all know that L.A. and Philly stay jiggy
But on the sneak, Miami bringin heat for real
Y'all don't understand
I never seen so many Dominican women with cinnimon tans
Mierda, this is the plan
Take a walk on the beach, draw a heart in the sand
Gimmie your hand
Damn, you look sexy
Let's go to my yacht, in the West Keys
Ride my jetskis, loungin in the palm trees
Cause you gotta have cheese for the summerhouse piece on southbeach
Water so clear, you can see to the bottom
Hundred-thousand dollar cars, e'ybody got em
Ain't no surprise in the club to see Sly, Stallone
Miami, my second home
