| 歌曲 | Belle Of The Blues |
| 歌手 | Janis Ian |
| 专辑 | Aftertones |
| 作词 : Ian | |
| I’m the belle of the blues, and it’s easy to see | |
| If I win or I lose, it’s all one to me | |
| I was born on a shelf in the rare books library | |
| I reside by myself with my books and my T.V. | |
| I’m an old age pension for the fossilized routine | |
| Anybody for nostalgia, put a record on and see | |
| Here’s a memory of olden days | |
| And a heartbreak grown cold | |
| All that glitters isn’t gold | |
| You get no love for free | |
| You live and you die | |
| And I’ll probably throw it away | |
| But in the end it’s mine | |
| And nobody has a right to say | |
| “Go down lightly - go down silently” | |
| I’ll go down screaming | |
| “Give it back - it belongs to me” | |
| I’m the belle of the blues - I’m used to mingling | |
| With the crème de la crème of higher society | |
| I promise them roses, and an eight-by-ten of me | |
| But when the party’s over | |
| They’re all too glad to leave | |
| Their children sing of sorrow | |
| It’s the same old routine | |
| They’ve begged and they’ve borrowed | |
| Someone else’s misery | |
| It’s an easy act to follow | |
| At least, an easy one for me | |
| Give me my tomorrows | |
| You can have my memories | |
| Souvenirs from an old-fashioned school | |
| Plays coquette on the pillow | |
| Like an old-fashioned fool | |
| Go down lightly | |
| Go down silently | |
| You go down lonely | |
| You go down like me |
