Sign of the Times

Just stop your crying

It’s a sign of the times

Welcome to the final show

Hope you’re wearing your best clothes

You can’t1)bribe the door on your way to the sky You look pretty good down here

But you ain’t really good

*We never learn, we’ve been here before

Why are we always stuck and running from

The2)bullets, the bullets?

We never learn, we’ve been here before

Why are we always stuck and running from

The bullets, the bullets?*

**Just stop your crying

It’s a sign of the times

We gotta get away from here

We gotta get away from here

(Just) stop your crying

(Baby) it’ll be alright

They told me that the end is near

We gotta get away from here**

Just stop your crying

Have the time of your life

Breaking through the atmosphere

And things are pretty good from here Remember, everything will be alright We can meet again somewhere

Somewhere far away from here

Repeat *

Repeat **

Repeat *

We don’t talk enough

We should open up

Before it’s all too much

Will we ever learn?

We’ve been here before

It’s just what we know

Stop your crying, baby

It’s a sign of the times

We gotta get away

We got to get away [×4]

We got to—we got to—away [×3]

1) bribe [braɪb] v. 贿赂 2) bullet ['bʊlɪt] n. 子弹

见招拆招

词组：open up

大家对open up想必十分熟悉，但你知道它到底能表达多少种不同的意思吗？除了最直观的“打开，开门”，open up还可以表示“开刀；开始发展；开火；开设；展示”，以及这首歌中所表达的“自由自在地谈，没有拘束地谈，畅谈”——细心的同学大概已经发现了：这几种意思和open up的字面意义是有联系的，因此，即使在不同的句子中遇到open up，我们依然可以“望文生义”，根据其字面意思大致推断出词组在具体语境中的含义，例如：

● The flowers slowly opened up in the warmth of the sun. （花儿在温暖的阳光中徐徐开放。）

● The road opens up ahead. （眼前出现了一条公路。）

● You must open up and tell us all about what happened. （你得把发生的情况毫无保留地全部告诉我们。）

赏 析

提到“哈卷”Harry Styles，你的第一印象是什么？是英国天团“单向乐队”（One Direction）当中的小卷毛，还是美国流行天后Taylor Swift的前男友？

自从“单向乐队”于去年宣布休整，暂停一切音乐活动以来，团中多名成员先后单飞，各自谋求出路——而凭借《时代之声》在一百多个国家空降iTunes冠军的哈里，也许就是最先突出重围的一个。若说前奏与开头只是给人带来一种复古的惊喜，那歌曲从副歌开始渐入佳境，哈里收放自如的高音和假音才真正让人惊艳！充满气势的编曲，富有深意的歌词，这么从头到脚都洋溢着英伦范儿的华丽摇滚实在是久违了……这个走出他人阴影的大男孩用过硬的实力向世界证明了自己：不需要任何团体或是个人作为前缀，Harry Styles就是Harry Styles！
