A Whiter Shade Of Pale萨克斯谱
歌曲歌词
We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
*And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face， at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
She said "I'm home on shore leave"
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying， "You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride"
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straight away died
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
歌曲鉴赏
由「Procol Harum」乐团演唱的《脸色极其苍白》诞生于1967年，是该团推出的第一张专辑的首支主打歌，在当年最高名次拿到告示牌第五名，成功打响名号。第一次听到 A Whiter Shade of Pale，没有人不会被它深情的管风琴乐编曲与浑厚的歌声打动。
