歌詞

[Verse 1]

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone

Lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone

Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, no

[Pre-Chorus]

He had no money, no

No good at home

Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone

And now it's

[Chorus]

Eighteen and life, you got it

Eighteen and life, you know

Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

Eighteen and life, you got it

Eighteen and life, you know

Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

[Verse 2]

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline

It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean

They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"

He married trouble, had a courtship with a gun

[Pre-Chorus]

Bang-bang, shoot 'em up, the party never ends

You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend

And now it's

[Chorus]

Eighteen and life, you got it

Eighteen and life, you know

Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

Eighteen and life, you got it

Eighteen and life, you know

Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

"Accidents will happen," they all heard Ricky say

He fired his six-shot to the wind

And that child blew a child away, yeah, yeah

Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Eighteen and life, you got it

Eighteen and life, you know

Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

Eighteen and life, you got it

Eighteen and life, you know

Your crime is time and it's eighteen and life to go

Yeah

[Outro]

Whoa, whoa, whoa

多添一點(diǎn)：

今天分享一首Skid Row的《18 And Life》。

最近很偏愛這種旋律好聽又充滿力量的音樂。這首歌來自Skid Row1989年發(fā)行的同名首張錄音室專輯《Skid Row》。雖然外界對(duì)它的評(píng)價(jià)褒貶不一，但這張專輯在Billboard 200上還是排名第六，并獲得了美國(guó)唱片業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)(RIAA) 5倍白金唱片認(rèn)證。專輯產(chǎn)生了四首單曲：《Youth Gone Wild》《18 and Life》《I Remember You》和《Piece of Me》。這些單曲的輪播也為Skid Row帶來了更高的人氣。要知道，在此之前他們僅僅作為Bon Jovi和Aerosmith的開場(chǎng)表演出現(xiàn)。

今天這首《18 And Life》是他們最大的熱門歌曲，在美國(guó)公告牌百?gòu)?qiáng)單曲榜上排名第4，在公告牌專輯搖滾曲目排行榜上排名第 11位。它于1989 年 9 月 13 日被美國(guó)唱片工業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)(RIAA) 認(rèn)證為黃金唱片，當(dāng)時(shí)它售出了 500,000 張。這首歌還在英國(guó)單曲榜上排名第 12 ，在加拿大排名第 6，在愛爾蘭排名第 5。

這首歌講述了18歲的Ricky的故事，他貧窮、堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，但醉酒后用槍誤殺了自己的朋友，并因此被判終身監(jiān)禁。Skid Row吉他手Dave“Snake”Sabo在當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙上看到了這個(gè)故事后，寫下了這首歌。樂隊(duì)的貝斯手Rachel Bolan也參與了這首歌的創(chuàng)作?？纯锤枋?。

Skid Row是一支美國(guó)搖滾樂隊(duì)，于 1986 年在新澤西州湯姆斯河成立。他們目前的陣容包括貝斯手Rachel Bolan、吉他手Dave Sabo和Scotti Hill、鼓手 Rob Hammersmith 和歌手Erik Gr?nwall。該樂隊(duì)在 1980 年代末和 1990 年代初取得了商業(yè)上的成功，其前兩張專輯Skid Row (1989) 和Slave to the Grind (1991) 獲得了多白金認(rèn)證，后者在Billboard 200上排名第一。這兩張專輯還制作了一些 Skid Row 在美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)外最受歡迎的熱門歌曲，包括“《 18 and Life》和《I Remember You 》登上Billboard Hot 100前10名，以及《 Youth Gone Wild》、《Monkey Business》、《Slave to the Grind》、《Wasted Time 》等排行榜單曲。樂隊(duì)的吉他手Dave Sabo和Jon Bon Jovi是好朋友，所以在成功路上Jon Bon Jovi也幫助他們不少，包括幫他們爭(zhēng)取到了一份唱片合約。
