《I’ll Learn to Love Again》歌词

[00:02:14] 浣滄洸 : Lehrer

[00:02:14] It seems that most of the songs that you hear these days on the radio played by the disc-jockeys, apart from rock-n-roll and other childrens' records, tend to be motion-picture title-songs. appa

[00:02:14] Y producers feel that we will not attend their movies unless we have the titles well drilled into our heads in advance.

[00:02:14] Of course, we don't go anyway, but at least this way they make back on the song some of what they've lost on the picture. with the rise of the motion-picture title-song, we've had such hits in t

[00:02:14] St few years as the ten commandments mambo, brothers karamazov cha-cha, incredible shrinking man, i love you. i'm sure you're all familiar with these, but a few years ago a motion picture versio

[00:02:14] Eared of sophocles' immortal tragedy oedipus rex. this picture played only in the so-called art theaters, and it was not a financial success. and i maintain that the reason it was not a financia

[00:02:14] Cess...

[00:02:14] (you're away ahead of me.) ...was, that it did not have a title tune, which the people could hum and which would make them actually eager to attend this particular play. so, i have attempted to

[00:02:14] Y this and here then is the prospective title song from oedipus rex.

[00:02:14] From the bible to the popular song,

[00:02:14] There's one theme that we find right along.

[00:02:14] Of all ideals they hail as good,

[00:02:14] The most sublime is motherhood.

[00:02:14] There was a man, oh, who it seems,

[00:02:14] Once carried this ideal to extremes.

[00:02:14] He loved his mother and she loved him,

[00:02:14] And yet his story is rather grim.

[00:02:14] There once lived a man named oedipus rex.

[00:02:14] You may have heard about his odd complex.

[00:02:14] His name appears in freud's index

[00:02:14] 'cause he loved his mother.

[00:02:14] His rivals used to say quite a bit,

[00:02:14] That as a monarch he was most unfit.

[00:02:14] But still in all they had to admit

[00:02:14] That he loved his mother.

[00:02:14] Yes he loved his mother like no other.

[00:02:14] His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother.

[00:02:14] One thing on which you can depend is,

[00:02:14] He sure knew who a boy's best friend is!

[00:02:14] When he found what he had done,

[00:02:14] He tore his eyes out one by one.

[00:02:14] A tragic end to a loyal son

[00:02:14] Who loved his mother.

[00:02:14] So be sweet and kind to mother,

[00:02:14] Now and then have a chat.

[00:02:14] Buy her candy or some flowers or a brand new hat.

[00:02:14] But maybe you had better let it go at that!

[00:02:14] Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex,

[00:02:14] And you may end up like oedipus.

[00:02:14] I'd rather marry a duck-billed platypus,

[00:02:14] Than end up like old oedipus rex.

[00:02:14] The out-patients are out in force tonight, i see.
