越听越有味道的——《toy soldiers》

煎饼

1980年代，由于MTV台的堀起，利用影像结合音乐的新趋势营销，让一些色艺双全的新生代歌手，有了绝佳的表演新舞台，在80年代后期开始由Tiffany、Debbie Gibson 揭开Teen偶像歌手爆红的滥觞，到后期的Tommy Page等，为这一波青少年偶像狂潮惊艳全球乐坛做了最精采的诠释。其中，拥有古巴血统的音乐才女玛蒂卡Martika更是其中最受人瞩目的一位新巨星。

　　这位年仅19岁的年轻女孩在1988年以一首轻快的电子舞曲“More Then You Know”平地一声雷空降全美排行榜，随即以反毒广告单曲“Toy soldiers”冲上冠军宝座并蝉连2周冠军。
martika凄美的演绎，时而浅唱低吟，时而高亢激情，再配合清新脱俗的童声和唱，给人无限的悲凉之感。如果说有些歌曲是越听越有味道的，那一定包括这首toy soldiers

Toy Soldiers

It wasn‘t my intention to mislead you

It never should have been this way

What can I say

It‘s true I did extend the invitation

I never knew how long you‘d stay

When you hear temptation call

It‘s your heart that takes, takes a fall

Won‘t you come out and play with me

Step by step

Heart to heart

Left right left

We all fall down like toy soldiers

Bit by bit

Torn apart

We never win

But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

It‘s getting hard to wake up in the morning

My head is spinning constantly

How can it be

How could I be so blind to this addiction

If I don‘t stop the next one‘s gonna be me

Only emptiness remains

It replaces all, all the pain

Won‘t you come out and play with me

Step by step

Heart to heart

Left right left

We all fall down like toy soldiers

Bit by bit

Torn apart

We never win

But the battle wages on for toy soldiers
