Steely Dan - Doctor Wu

딱 들어도 80년대 이전의 느낌이 나는 심플한 구성의 이 곡은, 그러나 짜임새만큼은 정교하고 흥미롭다. 오래 잊고 지내다가 브레이킹배드의 어떤 씬에 밴드가 언급된 덕분에 다시 들어봤더니 감성도 한가득인 곡이었다.

"그렇지, 스틸리 댄 있잖아."

"음악적 실력으로 보자면 요즘 어떤 밴드한테도 안밀릴걸"

"아빠 요즘 밴드 하나도 모르잖아요 (일침)"

Katy tried
I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side
Of no tomorrow

You walked in
And my life began again
Just when I'd spent the last piaster
I could borrow

All night long
We would sing that stupid song
And every word we sang
I knew was true

Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
Are you crazy are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do
Are you with me Doctor

Don't seem right
I've been strung out here all night
I've been waiting for the taste
You said you'd bring to me

Biscayne Bay
Where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day
I went searching for the song
You used to sing to me

Katy lies
You could see it in her eyes
But imagine my surprise
When I saw you
