Im Still Breathing 我还有呼吸

I leave the gas on
Walk the alleys in the dark
Sleep with candles burning
I leave the door unlocked
I\'m weaving a rope and
Running all the red lights
Did I get your attention
Cause I\'m sending all the signs that

The clock is ticking
And I\'ll be giving my two weeks
Pick your favourite shade of black
You best prepare a speech
Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don\'t say that you loved me

I\'m still breathing
But we\'ve been dead for a while
this sickness has no cure
We\'re going down for sure
Already lost our grip
Best abandon ship...

Maybe I was too pale
Maybe I was too fat
Maybe you had better
Better luck in the sack
No formal education
And I swore way too much
I swear you didn\'t care
Cause we were in love

So as I write this letter
And shed my last tear
Know it\'s all for the better
That we end this here
Let\'s close this chapter
Say one last prayer
But don\'t say that you loved me

I\'m still breathing
But we\'ve been dead for a while
this sickness has no cure
We\'re going down for sure
Oh we\'ve been diagnosed
So let\'s give up the ghost

I\'m still breathing
But we\'ve been dead for a while
this sickness has no cure
We\'re going down for sure
Already lost our grip
Best abandon ship

　　这张《One of the Boys》是流行新人Katy Perry的处子专辑，在Billboard 200专辑榜上榜首周，这张专辑就以4万7千张的单周销量名列本周榜单的第九位。在唱片业日益萧条的时代，能够获得第九名的成绩对一位新人来说已经是相当不易的了。对于Katy Perry来说，她的这张专辑一发行就能够得到这么多歌迷的响应还是因为她此前先行打榜的单曲《I Kissed a Girl》的大受欢迎。在近几周的Hot 100单曲榜中，这首歌不断攀升，继上周获得亚军之后，本周又超越了Coldplay的《Viva La Vida》，夺得了Hot 100单曲榜的冠军。

　　Katy Perry的这张专辑很好的找到了流行与摇滚的结合点，面对越来越挑剔的乐迷，音乐人和制作人们也都挖空了心思，做的音乐既要听起来入耳，又要免俗。Katy Perry就是这样，在时尚的流行小调的框架上融入了一些流行摇滚乐的感觉。从制作人的搭配上我们也可以看出这一点，一边是Alanis Morissette一鸣惊人的处子作《Jagged Little Pill》的制作人Glen Ballard ，另一边是大名鼎鼎的超级流行制作人Max Martin。此外，老牌流行摇滚组合The Eurythmics的成员Dave Stewart也在制作阵容当中，而Max Martin的老搭档Desmond Child也参与到了单曲《Waking Up in Vegas》的创作中。
