如果我把91年的BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK视为RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS风格最强烈的奠定性作品,大抵没有人会有异议.当年BOLLD SUGAR SEX MAGIK的出现,就仿佛是唱片监制RICK RUBIN为他们开拓了一个新的层次,标志着他们在音乐事业上的一段新里程,或者在商业成就上而言,唱片为人津JOHN FRUSCIANTE在第二年毅然选择离队,令乐队在89年所固定下来的四位一体的阵容再度瓦解,一下子BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK为CHILI PEPPERS所写下的音乐成就仿佛显得无以为继.在前JANE'S ADDICTION吉他手DAVE NAVARO加入后于四年前发表的ONE HOT MINUTE只似是乐队的一个过渡期,

Live and die before I get it done,
will you decide.
I'll take my words and turn them into sounds,
it will survive.
Because a long time ago,
I knew not to deprive.
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the sky.
And you are love,you are the love supreme, you are the rye.
And when you hear this,
You know its your jam, it's your goodbye.
Chorus
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
It's gonna play my song,
to carry me along.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the Boatman comes to ferry me away,
to where we all belong.
We your cost,
when we were feeling lost,
It's just the time.
Kateri cried, the day her lover died,
she recognized.
Because ya gave her,
a life of real love, it's no surprise.
The night's are long, but the years are short,
When you're alive.
Way back when, will never be again,
it was a time.
It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you, to walk a line.
Chorus
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song, to carry me along.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong.
Come get me!
Hey! Hey!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
you know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
its gonna play my song,
to carry me along.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away,
to where we all belong.
Then we live,
so every time you die,
he's in the revert sky.
Lay me down,
so when it's time to leave,
another sun will rise.
I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
you know I'm almost gone.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
And when the drummer drums,
its gonna play my song,
to carry me along.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away,
to where we all belong.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
you know I'm almost gone.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
you know I'm almost gone.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
you know I'm almost gone.
