英国最新冠军单曲：Diana Vickers - Once

2008年 X Factor选秀大赛中，Diana相当独特另类的嗓音让观众的反应形成鲜明对比，喜欢她的人说听她的声音会上瘾，不喜欢她的说她的歌声像猫叫。最近这个嗓音独特的女生终于要推出她的首张个人专辑了，名字就叫Songs From The Tainted¹ Cherry Tree《堕落樱花树之歌》，专辑主打Once一经推出就登上本周英国单曲排行榜第一名。

Artist：Diana Vickers
Song：Once

Here we are, a careful distance
Here’s my heart, what’s left of it
In this town, I used to listen
Once, Once, Yeah

I had hope, blind faith
had as much as you can take

I’m only gonna let you kill me once
I’m only gonna let you kill me then some
I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah

Once, Once, Once, yeah

Once, Once, Once, yeah

Once, Once…

Ashes burn the morning after
Only know I’m here to stay
I was so, I let you see me
That was dumb, but that’s OK
Tripping down to your place
What is love anyway

I’m only gonna let you kill me once

I’m only gonna let you kill me then some

I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
I’m only gonna let you kill me

Who or whatever you do
Don’t let anyone love you
Touch them where it hurts
And then you’ll leave

I’m only gonna let you kill me once

I’m only gonna let you kill me then some

I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah

I’m only gonna let you kill me
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
