The Vogues - Five O'clock World (五點鐘的世界)

Up every morning just to keep a job

每天早上起床只為了保住飯碗

I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
我必須奮力在喧鬧的暴民中開出一條路

Sounds of the city pounding in my brain
城市裡的聲響在我腦內碰撞著

While another day goes down the drain 
當另一天又被沖下水溝

but it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows

但這是一個五點鐘的世界，當下班的口哨響起

No-one owns a piece of my time
沒有人能再佔有我的半刻時間

And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
而那裡有個五點鐘的我，穿著我的衣服

Thinking that the world looks fine
覺得這個世界看起來挺不錯的

Trading my time for the pay I get

拿我的時間去換取我拿到的薪水

Living on money that I ain't made yet
用我還沒賺到的錢在生活著

Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way
必須繼續前行，必須開出自己的道路

But I live for the end of the day
但我是為了一天的尾聲而活

'cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows

因為這是一個五點鐘的世界，當下班的口哨響起

No-one owns a piece of my time
沒有人能再佔有我的半刻時間

And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
而我知道那裡有個長髮女孩在等待

To ease my troubled mind
來撫平我負面的情緒

In the shelter of her arms everything's okay

在她雙臂的庇護下，所有事情都沒事了

She talks and the world goes slipping away
她一說話，整個世界都流淌而去

And I know the reason I can still go on
我知道我還能繼續努力下去的原因

When every other reason is gone
當其他別的理由都消失的時候

 in my five o'clock world she waits for me

在我五點鐘的世界她等待著我

Nothing else matters at all

除此以外再也沒有其他事情更重要

'Cause every time my baby smiles at me
因為當每次我的寶貝對我微笑

I know that it's all worthwhile
我知道這一切都值得了
