老歌亂談(166)Indiana Wants Me

 
 

人之將死,其言也善?以這首歌來說,在大難臨頭之際,應該會是真性情良心的顯現吧。
 

歌曲中的這位老兄,因有人對她的妻子(or女友)言語有所侮辱,為了維護女方的名譽,憤將對方幹掉之後成了謀殺逃犯,被印第安那州的警方追捕時,感到孤單、害怕以及思念妻子/女友和小孩的一些心境告白。歌曲結尾有警方喊話,這位老兄應該有向警方投降。
 

歌曲開始及間奏時的警笛聲,因過於擬真,使得有些開車聽歌的駕駛一時混淆難辨,而將車駛停靠路邊,造成了不少困擾。故在第二版發行時就將警笛聲給拿掉了。
 

這是加拿大歌手R. Dean Taylory最為出名的一首歌,1970獲告示牌排行榜第五名。


 

 


 [Police sirens]
[Chorus:]
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there
I wish I had you, to talk to
If a man ever needed dying he did
No one had a right to say what he said about you
And it's so cold and lonely here without you
Out there the law is coming
I've been so tired of running
[Chorus]
It hurts to see the man that I've become
To know I'll never see the morning sunshine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face or touch your hand
If just once more I could see
You, our home and our little baby
[Chorus]
I hope this letter finds it's way to you
Forgive me love for the shame I've put you through and all the tears
Hang on love to the memories of those happy years
Red lights are flashing around me
Good Lord it looks like they found me
[Chorus]
Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there (This is the police. You are surrounded. Give yourself up)
[Repeat To Fade

這首歌我還記得, 不錯聽! 前幾年 Local电台有支廣告也是從頭就來一陣警笛声, 害我嚇了好跳. 1985 我在虎林街口被開 搶黄灯, 警察把罰單丟在地上就揚長而去, 我也無處可申x. 两年後報載有人朝派出所開槍, 有一人掛點. 總之警愛民 民敬警才是王道. 謝謝 po文! (軍購案跑路比蹲苦X好, 張可文出來两年車禍亡. 跑得越遠越好, 找到汪X浦更好.)

基本上我對台灣的條子印象不佳。1992我參與選舉抬轎,親眼見識到地方一些中高階警官喜歡搞「政治公關」的嘴臉。哈哈,果然那些人現在行情不差,還在繼續往上攀升的路上。

因軍購案跑路的人,未必是涉及命案,也有的是不想因此被羅織其他罪名。張可文出獄後車禍死亡,我認為是意外的成份居多。
