英文金曲:Put your records on

  Put your records on by Corinne Bailey Rae
          Three little birds, sat on my window.
          And they told me I don't need to worry.
          Summer came like cinnamon
          So sweet,
          Little girls double-dutch on the concrete .
          Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
          The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same.
          Oh, don't you hesitate.
          Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
          You go ahead, let your hair down
          Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
          Just go ahead, let your hair down.
          You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
          Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
          Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
          (just relax, just relax)
          Don't you let those other boys fool you,
          Got to love that Afro hairdo .
          Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
          The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
          Don't you think it's strange?
          Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
          You go ahead, let your hair down
          Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
          Just go ahead, let your hair down.
          You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
          'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
          Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
          When you gonna realize, that you don't even have to try any longer.
          Do what you want to.
          Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
          You go ahead, let your hair down
          Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
          Just go ahead, let your hair down.
          Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
          You go ahead, let your hair down
          Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
          Just go ahead, let your hair down.
          Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
