She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down From Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape From you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Really sorry now,
They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape From you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.
Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.(x2)

I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
Ovation, She's got her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said
I want something else
To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life Baby, Baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye.
Do-do-do do-do-do-doodoo-do-do-do do...
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through it my nose
And I wish it could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, And then I bumped again,
How do I get back there
To the place Where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to the place
The place Where you said
I want something else to get me through this semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right
When the plane came in she said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city
We tripped on the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
One
Now you hold me
And we are broken
Still it's all that I want to do
(Just a little now)
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming down
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in a smile
But nothing is all right, all right
And I want something else to get me through this life Baby, Baby
And I want something else, I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye...
Do-do-do-doodoo-do-do-do...

没人怀疑迈克尔·杰克逊的梦想的强大，早在孩提时代，他就对舞蹈、音乐和电影充满了好奇。 James Brown、Sam Davis Jr.、Fred Astaire、金·凯利都是他的偶像。尤其，令人惊讶的是他对迪斯尼卡通片的喜爱。这种乐趣一直在影响着他的成长，我们不得不说，他对成功的追求，也正是受了梦幻的鼓舞。迈克尔·杰克逊并非是一个特别容易信任人的人，在他成为流行巨星前，他甚至很少有推心置腹的朋友，正如他自己所说：“每个人都有很深、很灰暗的秘密。”然而，在迈克尔·杰克逊内心秘密的深处，我们能寻找到一条通往天真的通道：像孩子一样纯真。
James Brown是黑人娱乐文化的楷模。他在绝望的地板上疯狂地旋转，他永不言败。尽管迈克尔·杰克逊并没有多说James Brown给他造成了多么深远的影响，但人们很快就会发现迈克尔·杰克逊从James Brown那里沿袭了什么。身体里的舞蹈、对娱乐的领悟度和对黑人文化的倡导。
客观上，上个世纪80年代的音乐风格走向单调，而随着音乐录影带的诞生，正需要一个能唱会跳的超级明星来领导一个时代。迈克尔·杰克逊就像天生是这个时代孕育着的骄子，他早年的杰克逊五兄弟组，他在Motown留下的身影，都无法和他日后的音乐成就相比。从1979年的《Off The Wall》到1982的《Thriller》，再到1987年的《Bad》，直到1991年的《Dangerous》，迈克尔·杰克逊个人创造了流行音乐在音乐上和内涵上的神话。

Enhanced CD pressing of the first single pulled From the best-selling British singer/songwriter's sophomore album All The Lost Souls. Recorded in Los Angeles, both the single and album were produced and mixed by Tom Rothrock, who oversaw Blunt's debut album Back To Bedlam. "For me, there was absolutely no pressure whatsoever," says James. "Having sold over 11 million albums, I know that the likelihood of doing that again is really minimal. Instead of setting that as a target, I set out to do and record something that I really enjoy, that I'm really happy with." Features two versions of '1973' (Main Version and Enhanced Video) plus 'Annie' (Live). Atlantic. 2007.
这张Enhanced CD包含了出自英国畅销唱作人的第二张专辑《All The Lost Souls》的首支单曲. 洛杉矶录制. 单曲和专辑均由Tom Rothrock, 同时也是Blunt的首张专集Back To Bedlam的制作人制作. “对于我来讲,任何情况下都不会有什么压力,” James说到. “已经卖了11,000,000张专辑,我很清楚再次取得这样成绩的几率很小. 我不会将它看作目标,我只是纪录下我真正感兴趣的事情,那些真正使我快乐的事情.” 这次的特色就是有两个版本的”1973”(主要的版本和加强版的Video)外加”Annie”(现场). 大西洋.2007.

3. warm smell of colitas，烤烟的味道，colitas 这个词在英文字典中没有解释，因为这不是一个英文词。这是一个西班牙语，南加州与墨西哥近邻，所以西班牙语常混杂在口语中。cola在西班牙语中指尾巴 (tail)，colitas是复数名词，意思是很多小尾巴(little tails)。在七十年代，大麻的苞蕾被戏称为小尾巴，所以在这里colitas应该是隐指大麻的。大麻称作烤烟也可算是一个戏称。
4. head grew heavy，头越来越沉重，是疲累的状态，同时也是吸食大麻会出现的一个现象。 grow这个词跟系动词差不多，但是更加强调一个变化的过程。还有一些词例如get，become都是这样的。
5. stop for the night，指旅客停下来住店过夜。
6. the mission bell，就是指教堂的钟声。
7. think to oneself，心中想，沉思，跟它相似的结构是say to oneself，表示自言自语。
8. lit up a candle，点燃了蜡烛，“lit up a candle”是一个吸毒的常用语，歌词在一开始colitas的暗示，还有头感到发重是吸大麻烟的表现，数次对毒品的暗示，是加州旅馆原是戒毒所说法的来源。按此说法：加州旅馆是在南加州公路旁的一个自愿戒毒院，老鹰队员曾经吸毒与入院的经历是歌词的创作来源。
15. of one' s own device，也就是of one' s own wish，“按照某人自己的愿望”意思。后面几句则是好莱圬的恐怖片中邪教的常见场面：在一个大的房间里面，人们在举行狂欢的仪式，许多人都用刀来刺杀代表恶魔的野兽。这里暗指人们敌不过自己的心魔。
16. run for the door，赶快朝门口跑去。
17. find the passage back，也就是find the way back to someWhere 寻找回去的路。
18. We are programmed to receive. We are programmed to receive，应该是指我们天生容易屈服于内心的欲望。
19. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave! 你随时都可以结帐退房，但你永远也无法离开。有的人认为歌曲中的加州旅馆是确实存在的，而这之中还有旅馆、戒毒所、精神病院三种说法。旅馆就不必说了，上面也介绍了有关戒毒所的说法，这种自愿戒毒院是主要为中产阶层开的，介于疗养院与戒毒所之间，而淫乱现象更是七十年代中产阶层放荡后的一种常态。毒品的瘾性使得你可以在某段时间痊愈而离开戒毒院，不过却永远无法摆脱那重蹈旧轨的阴影，这正是“你可以一时结账，却永远无法离开”的写照。
21. 乐队主唱Don Henley是这样解说hotel California的："We were all middle-class kids From the Midwest, ' Hotel California' was our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles. It was meant to be a metaphor for the United States, for the excesses this country has always been known for. It wasn' t meant to be just about California or Beverly Hills."
Goodbye England's rose;
may you ever grow in our hearts.
（别矣！英伦的玫瑰；
愿你永在我们心底绽放光辉。）

（既不随日落而褪色，亦不因雨打而灭熄。）
And your footteps will always fall here ,along England's greenest
hills;
（你的足迹永远长存，在英伦翠绿的山峦；）
Your candle's burned out long before your leg-end over will.

years.

Goodbye England's rose ,From a country lost without your soul.
（别矣！英伦的玫瑰，国民失落皆因你的灵魂已逝，）
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever
know.
（大家怀缅你的慈恩之翅远远超过你所想所知！）
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind:
（在我看来，你这一生一世，犹似烛立风中摇曳：）
never fading with the sunset when the rain setin.
(既不随日落而褪色，亦不因雨打而灭熄。)
And your footsteps will always fall here. along England's
greenest hills;
（你的足迹永远长存，在英伦翠绿的山峦；）
Your candle's burned out long before you legend ever will.
（纵使你的烛光已逝，你的传奇永垂万世。）
