Big dreams, gangster 你野心无穷　混入黑帮 Said you had to leave to start your life over 说你要重新来过 I was like: “no please, stay here,” 我求你别走 We don’t need no money we can make it all work 没多少钱也能过活 But he headed out on Sunday, said he’d come home Monday 但你却踏出家门　说隔天就回来 I stayed up waitin’, anticipatin’ and pacin’ but he was 我整夜没睡　等着你回家 Chasing paper 但你追求财富 “Caught up in the game” that was the last I heard 这场金钱游戏　你再也无法脱身

I will love you till the end of time 我会爱你　直到永远 I would wait a million years 即使要等一百万年 Promise you’ll remember that you’re mine 答应我　记得你属于我 Baby can you see through the tears? 你懂我眼泪背后的真心吗 Love you more 我爱你 Than those bitches before 比以前那些女人们更爱你 Say you’ll remember, oh baby, say you’ll remember oh baby ooh 答应我　别忘记 I will love you till the end of time 我会爱你　直到永远

（注） James Dean　是美国著名演员，英年早逝。以反叛及浪漫的形象，表达对社会的不满。

很喜欢有故事的歌曲，不只是诉说情感，而是透过讲述一个故事来表达情感。Blue Jeans这首歌叙述一对恋人，男方为了给女方幸福，而透过不法手段快速取得金钱，但女方却觉得财富并非她所要的，她要的，只是两人简简单单在一起而已，没想到金钱却将恋人从自己身边偷走。

故事线很单纯，但歌词的写作手法却用了很多比喻和象征。首先用早逝的电影明星James Dean来形容自己的恋人，James Dean代表的是ㄧ种反社会的颓废风格，隐约带出歌曲黑暗的结局。接着，You so fresh to death; sick as ca-cancer这一句中，fresh和sick都有cool的意思，但却用death 和cancer（死亡和癌症）来形容爱人的酷，暗示他的性格将带他走向死亡，带他们的爱情走向死亡，为结局埋下伏笔。

叙述者想要的，只是两人在一起的爱情，无论贵贱，都不会影响到这份爱，但对方却误解了，误以为爱情必须用金钱来买，误以为有了财富就能幸福美满，殊不知这才是两人走向分裂的原因。

最后，我想歌名叫做Blue Jeans应该也有某种意涵吧！牛仔裤是蓝领工人的代表，代表了自己的爱人从前尚未被金钱迷惑时的打扮，自己最喜欢的，就是他那最自然，毫无作做的打扮，即使不是高级西装，只要对方能常陪在自己身边，哪怕是薪水不高的工人，哪怕是穿着褪色的牛仔裤，那就是自己的最爱。
