Big Yellow Taxi

 我在2005年買的一張由美國"Counting Crows" 數烏鴉樂團在"Films about ghosts"專輯中,和當年在貨車後面彈鋼琴唱a thound miles的少女Vanessa Carlton,翻唱Joni Mitchell原曲"Big Yellow Taxi",相當好聽

Joni Mitchell原曲如下:  
 這首歌是諷刺過分都市化以及人們奢華的享受在人造的天堂裡與無限的擴張資源;這些話現在聽起來人似乎都無關痛癢,引用一位17世紀國人文作家和哲學家Volaitre曾說的格言:"Anything too stupid to be said is sung."
Lyrics of Big Yellow Taxi:
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
