This Is My Song
一般人提到英國歌星的橫霸美國就想起披頭四，
其實在披頭四之前，就有好幾位英國歌星登陸新大陸，
其中又以姵圖拉克拉克（ Petula Clark） 最早。
姵圖拉克拉克生於1931年，其隨即嶄露頭角，
常與另一位童星茱蒂安德魯絲一起表演，
被稱爲英國的秀蘭鄧波兒。
1960年姵圖拉克拉克開始到法國演唱，1961年在巴黎結婚，
婚後，她的歌唱事業在歐洲開始走下坡，
她的經理人安排她到美國發展。
1964年以一曲“Downtown”大受歡迎，
在美國流行歌曲排行榜上榮登后座。
姵圖拉克拉克在60級70年代的美國歌壇風靡了許久。
PETULA CLARK - Downtown
[Verse 1]
When youre alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When youve got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
[Pre-Chorus]
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
[Chorus]
So go downtown
Things will be great when youre downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everythings waiting for you
[Verse 2]
Dont hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
[Pre-Chorus]
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
Youll be dancing with em too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
[Chorus]
So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
Youre gonna be alright now, downtown
[Instrumental Break w/ Backing Vocals]
Downtown
Downtown
[Pre-Chorus]
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe Ill see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
[Chorus]
So go downtown
Things will be great when youre downtown
Dont wait a minute more, downtown
Everything is waiting for you, downtown
[Outro]
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
