听歌学英语:The Scientist（Coldplay）

一直被称为Radiohead接班人的Coldplay（酷玩乐队），对每个听过欧美音乐的人应该都不会陌生。乐团由四人组成：主唱：Chris Martin ；吉他手：Jon Buckland ；贝司手：Guy Berryman ；鼓手：Will Champion 。从1998乐队自己出资制作的第一张EP《Safety》到05年6月的专辑《X&Y》，已经发行了6张专辑，11张单曲EP，可以说他们是少见的能让我们每次都期待下一张专辑的乐队。

Coldplay 2002 发行了“The Scientist” EP单曲，The Scientist是去年上映的电影“Wicker Park” （迷情公寓）的主题曲。

歌词：

　　Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I'll set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Coming in tails
Heads are a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Could not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt¹ me
Oh when I rush to the start
Running in circles
chasing² in tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start.
