影视音乐:《伦敦大道》The Letter-The Box Tops

Box Tops，1960年来自孟菲斯的乐队，几首非常走红的单曲"The Letter" ，"Soul Deep" 和"Cry Like A Baby"使他们成为当时较为主流的白人R&B和灵歌乐队，他们风格混合了James and Bobby Purify和Clifford Curry的灵歌特质以及Dan Penn 和 Chips Moman的流行曲调，后来主唱Alex Chilton单独发展了个人事业，偶尔也会把 Box Tops的老歌来出来表演。


The Box Tops: The Letter

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane¹
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister², can't you see I got to get back
To my baby once-a more
Anyway, yeah!
