UsandThem是英国摇滚乐队PinkFloyd的歌曲,收录在其专辑TheDarkSideoftheMoon中。
而专辑DarkSideoftheMoon一个值得大书特书的地方就是它的音响效果。此张唱片的音响效果十分出色,它被HP列入他的TAS杂志的超级榜单中。经他的热炒,该唱片的LP版在美国被炒卖到了天价。仅唱片开头的心跳声有多沉才合适就不知考倒了多少音响师。
歌曲UsAndThem是全碟旋律最优美的一首歌,歌词虽简单但内涵却很深奥,其深刻地提出了反战宣言“你我都是普通人,只有上帝知道我们会怎样选择命运。是在后方哭泣?还是在前线阵亡?昏暗之中,谁又知道我是谁?沮丧之时,谁会给我援助?”。
Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
"Well I mean, they're gonna kill ya, so like, if you give 'em a quick sh...short, sharp shock, they don't do it again.
Dig it? I mean he got off light, 'cause I coulda given 'I'm a thrashin' but I only hit him once.
It's only the difference between right and wrong innit? I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
