歌词
[Verse 1]
She was young once
Girl of the bohemian kind
In the cold, bright dawn
We watched her grow
Wisdom begun
Season when the river was high
On the gray stone long
I walked alone
Me and my heart
Following the shadow she made
Like a dull sky day
I chased the sun
Back at the start
I was still in love with the way
It's a long way
From what's become
[Chorus 1]
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played
Now turn the other way
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played, she played
[Verse 2]
Newly grown up
Folded up, the color he wore
See the all new girl
Rehearsed and well
Filling my cup
Playing at the edge of the shore
See the way she moves
I broke the spell
[Chorus 1]
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played
Now turn the other way
[Hook 1]
Oh, no
Try to fix it 'fore you break it
Then it's gone
Oh, no
I go on, I go on
[Chorus 1]
She's got it bad for me
She's got it bad for me
The only game she played
Now turn the other way
[Interlude/Transition]
[Verse 3]
Troubleman
You wished it all away
Gun in hand
You found a path today
And I know nothing about
Troubleman
Your faith was long ago
Foreign land
The sea was made of stone
And I know nothing about
[Chorus 2]
He's gotten bad for me
He's gotten bad for me
The only game he played
Now turn the other way
He's gotten bad for me
He's gotten bad for me
The only game he played, he played
[Verse 4]
Troubleman
We used to shake the dead
Ship unmanned
The rain was just ahead
And I know nothing about
Where Troubleman
Is just the empty name
[Hook 2]
Oh, no
Try to fix it 'fore you break it
Then it's gone
Oh, no
You go on, we go on

多添一点：
今天分享一首 Electric Guest 的《Troubleman》。
今天带来的歌曲收录在他们第一张专辑《Mondo》中，其实他们更早就发行了这首歌的单曲。也是这个单曲让他们有机会结识制作人危险老鼠布莱恩·伯顿（之前我们分享过的好几个乐队都是他制作的）。乐队成员 Asa Taccone的哥哥正好是伯顿的朋友，他强烈建议伯顿听听他弟弟的歌曲，伯顿听到后非常喜欢，这促成了伯顿参与他们第一张专辑的制作。伯顿对音乐人的苛刻眼光也反向证明了他们的能力。他们的歌曲大量借鉴了20世纪60年代的流行音乐，灵魂乐等。使用乐观的乐器配合忧郁人声，这也让他们有了自己的特色。
这首歌曲讲述了一个内心麻烦的男人在感情生活中，因为总是想的太多，制造出了很多原本就不存在的麻烦，也导致了两个人感情的破裂。在情感里犹豫不决的人总会为自己带来更多的麻烦。
看一下乐队资料。Electric Guest是一支洛杉矶乐队，由Asa Taccone、Matthew Compton和Todd and Tory Dahlhoff兄弟组成。
直到2011年，“Electric Guest”还是一个双人组合，最初的成员是塔克内(Taccone)和康普顿(Compton)，后来Dahlhoff兄弟加入，组建了一支四人乐队。他们曾与制作人危险老鼠合作过，并登上了2012年MTV最值得观看的艺人名单。2012年4月24日，乐队发行了首张专辑《Mondo》。首张专辑发行后一个月的时间，他们就在最佳独立专辑排行榜上排到了49位。专辑中的十首作品还有一首登上热门歌曲排行榜前30的歌曲《This Head I Hold》。
