My October Symphony

在有點傷風的日子，我在瘋狂聽著這張整整20年前的專輯。
這是我當年第一張買的黑膠碟，也是我最愛的Pet Shop Boys專輯。
這張大碟在1990年發表時，銷量上是失利的。後來卻被平反，甚至被喻為PSB最好的專輯。
而我最愛的歌，是《My October Symphony》。

So much confusion
When autumn comes around
What to do about October
How to smile behind a frown?
It's hard to settle down

It's so bemusing
Will they cancel the parade?
We marched each October
Now they say we were never even saved
We must be very brave

Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?

So we're all drinking
As leaves fall to the ground
Because we've been thinking
How October's let us down
Then and now

Shall we remember
December instead?
Or worry about February?
Mourn our war-torn dead
Never seeing red?

Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?
