doorex회원님의 음반평입니다. 이 음반은 폴매카트니의 Band on the run이후 최고의 명반이라고 불리우는 음반입니다. 우선 자켓부터 아주 세련된 디자인으로 되어 있는데 이 디자인은 폴매카트니의 유방암으로 사망한 전 부인 린다 매카트니가 직접 디자인한 것으로 유명하여 영국 런던의 소호 스퀘어가든옆 폴매카트니 MPL사무실 1층의 한 쪽벽이 이 앨범의 디자인을 본따 치장을 할 정도로 폴매카트니 스스로 많은 애착을 갖고 있는 앨범이기도 합니다. 수록곡을 살펴보면 우선 우리에게 가장 많이 알려져있는 스티비 원더와의 듀엣곡으로 Ebony and Ivory가 있습니다. 이 곡은 흑백간의 갈등을 다룬 문제로 피아노의 하얀 건반과 검은 건반은 서로서로 어울려서 그토록 아름다운 하모니를 이루어내는데 우리 인간은 왜 못하는 것일까하는 흑백인종차별 철폐에 관한 노래로 당시 빌보드 차트 1위를 기록하는 성과를 기록하기도 하였으며 당시 흑인들이 인기투표를 실시하여 가장 인기있는 노래 1위로 선정되기도 하였습니다. 또한 이 음반은 1980년 12월 8일 피살된 비틀즈 시절 절친한 음악적 동료였던 존레논을 추모하는 Here today라는 곡이 실려있고 이 노래는 또다른 멤버였던 조지해리슨의 All those years ago라는 곡과 함께 먼저가버린 친구를 그리워하는 곡입니다. 이 앨범에는 폴매카트니의 비틀즈 시절 Hey Jude라는 곡에 비견되는 Wanderlust라는 큰 스케일의 곡이 있는데 오케스트라의 반주 역시 뛰어난 곡입니다. 이밖에 신나는 무도곡으로 Ballroom Dancing, 동명 타이틀곡 Tug of war(줄다리기) 등 모든 곡이 마치 하나 하나 싱글컷이 되었어도 빌보드 1위를 했을 만큼의 수준급 곡들이 실려있어 앨범발매가 된지 19년이 되었지만 비틀즈 팬, 폴매카트니 팬이 아니고서도 한번쯤은 소장할 만한 가치있는 음반으로 남아있습니다. 비틀즈 팬으로서 적극 추천하는 음반입니다. .... ....
Take it away, wanna hear you play 'Til the lights go down Take it away, don't you wanna stay 'Til there's no one else around
Take it away, wanna hear you play 'Til the lights go down Take it away, don't you wanna stay 'Til there's no one else around
Lonely driver out on the road With a hundred miles to go Sole survivor, carryin' a load Switches on his radio
Take it away, wanna hear you play 'Til the lights go down (Down, down) Take it away, don't you wanna stay 'Til there's no one else around
Take it away, wanna hear you play 'Til the lights go down (Down, down) Take it away, don't you wanna stay 'Til there's no one else around
In the audience, watching the show With a paper in his hand (In his hand, in his hand) Some important impresario Has a message for the band
Take it away, wanna hear you play 'Til the lights go down (Down, down) Take it away, don't you wanna stay 'Til there's no one else around
You never know who may be listening to you (You never know who may be listening to you) You never know who may be listening to you Take it away, take it away
After hours, late in the bar By a darkened corner seat Faded flowers, wade in the jar 'Til the evening is complete
When your body is coming apart at the seams And the whole thing's feeling low you're convincing yourself That there's nobody there, I know I know now you feel
Like somebody has taken the wheels off your car When you had somewhere to go, well, it's annoying Not going to get very far, I know But somebody cares
There's always someone, somewhere, you should know by now Always somebody who cares, it's happening day in, day out Well, you know by now, always somebody who cares
If you don't know it how will it find you? How will we know your whereabouts? But I know how you feel I know how you feel
Like somebody has taken the wheels off your car When you had somewhere to go, well, it's frustrating Not going to get very far I know But somebody cares
There's always someone, somewhere, you should know by now Always somebody who cares, it's happening day in, day out Well, you know by now, always somebody who cares
If you don't know it how will it find you? How will we know your whereabouts? But I know how you feel

AND IF I SAY I REALLY KNEW YOU WELL, WHAT WOULD YOUR ANSWER BE? IF YOU WERE HERE TODAY. UH, UH, UH, HERE TODAY. WELL, KNOWING YOU, YOU'D PROBABLY LAUGH AND SAY THAT WE WERE WORLDS APART. IF YOU WERE HERE TODAY. UH, UH, UH, HERE TODAY. BUT AS FOR ME, I STILL REMEMBER HOW IT WAS BEFORE AND I AM HOLDING BACK THE TEARS NO MORE. UH, UH, UH, I LOVE YOU, UH. WHAT ABOUT THE TIME WE MET? (what about the time?) WELL, I SUPPOSE THAT YOU COULD SAY THAT WE WERE PLAYING HARD TO GET. DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A THING, BUT WE COULD ALWAYS SING. WHAT ABOUT THE NIGHT WE CRIED? (what about the night) BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY REASON LEFT TO KEEP IT ALL INSIDE. NEVER UNDERSTOOD A WORD, BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE WITH A SMILE. AND IF I SAY I REALLY LOVED YOU AND WAS GLAD YOU CAME ALONG. THEN YOU WERE HERE TODAY, UH, UH, UH, FOR YOU WERE IN MY SONG. UH, UH, UH, HERE TODAY.
Well I used to smile when I was a pup Sailing down the Nile in china cup With the recipe for a lovely day Sticking out of my back pocket
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Till me made it up in the ballroom
Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four I just plain adore your Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV I got what I got, ballroom dancing big B.D.
Well I used to fly when I was a kid And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit On a carpet ride to a foreign land At the time of Davy Crockett
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Till me made it up in the ballroom
Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four, I just plain adore your Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV I got quiet a lot, ballroom dancing big B.D.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the band is ready We are starting [Incomprehensible] in this competition That's the cha, cha, cha
Well went so fast and we all grew up Now the days that passed in the china cup Are the memories of another day And I wouldn't want to knock it
Oh but, it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Till me made it up in the ballroom
Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four, I just plain adore your Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing big B.D.
You've got to get it mm mm You've got to get it don't forget It doesn't come around again You've got to get it mm mm You've got to get it and you've got to get it good
Once I had a little Spanish guitar The neighbors told me I could go pretty far Well I came and I went And my guitar got bent
But I discovered that the people who love Are what we need if we're to get up above it all And that's that Unless the world is flat
I wanna get it mm mm I wanna get it just in case It doesn't come around again I wanna get it mm mm I wanna get it and I wanna get it good
Pardon me if I've been misunderstood I wanna get it while the going is good The telephone rang About a song I sang
The life of Cadillac and ultra for sure Is automatic for the lady demure She came and she went Without a single dent
[Chorus x2] Come on, let's get it mm mm Come on, let's get it don't forget It doesn't come around again You've got to get it mm mm You've got to get it and you've got to get it good
YOU CAN DRESS ME UP AS A ROBBER, BUT I WON'T BE IN DISGUISE. ONLY LOVE IS A ROBBER AND HE LIVES WITHIN YOUR EYES. OO-OO-OO OO-EE-OO.
YOU CAN DRESS ME UP AS A SAILOR, BUT I'LL NEVER RUN TO SEA, AS LONG AS YOUR LOVE IS AVAILABLE TO ME WHAT DO I DO WITH A SEA OF BLUE? OO-EE-OO.
BA BA BA BA BA BA BA.
DRESSING ME UP, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFF'RENCE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. WHICH EVER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU. IF WE GO ON FOREVER, I MAY NEVER MAKE A CHANGE.
DRESSING ME UP, (dressing me up) AND IF I DON'T CONVINCE YOU, YOU NEEDN'T LOOK TOO FAR TO SEE THAT I'M NOT LYING BUT I LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE. WHAT'S THE POINT OF CHANGING WHEN I'M HAPPY AS I AM?
YOU CAN DRESS ME UP AS A SOLDIER, BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT FOR, I WAS THE ONE THAT TOLD YOU HE LOVED YOU, DON'T WANNA GO TO ANOTHER WAR. NO, NO, NO.
