Hotel California

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dimmer

I had to stop for the night



There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself,

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say....



Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year, you can find it here



Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget



So I called up the Captain,

"Please bring me my wine"

He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"

And still those voices are calling from far away,

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say…



Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)

They livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis



Mirrors on the celing,

The pink champagne on ice

And she said, "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"

And in the master's chambers,

They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives,

But they just can't kill the beast



Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

"Relax", said the night man,

We are programmed to receive,

You can check out any time you like,

But you can never leave!



二十世紀的經典

特別是尾奏的雙吉他~

更是倍受推舉

只要學吉他的

沒有不想練起來的



目前最常聽到的除了原先就收錄在cd的版本外

令外就是1994年的現場版

我這首是1976年現場版

難得見到的版本

也是我最喜歡的版本

雖然1994年那版本我也很愛啦~

不過我覺得這版本能聽得出當年Eagles年輕的狂氣~
