Whiplash girl child in the dark

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

今天為大家介紹的歌曲Venus in Furs，是由美國樂隊The Velvet Underground 在 1967年推出的歌曲，歌曲長達5分12秒，屬於Drone Rock。填詞作曲由Lou Reed一人負責，不得不提的是，製作由Andy Warhol操刀。在較早前的文章提及到，The Velvet Underground 這張專輯，挑戰當時社會的底線。歌曲的主題都是社會禁忌，例如較早前提到的Heroin，相當敏感及惹來爭議。

而今天介紹的這首歌曲，主題同樣是相當爭議及敏感，主題是性虐戀(Sadomasochism)、束縛（Bondage）及服從（Submission）。歌曲靈感來源自同名小說Venus in Furs。較早版本，歌曲被收錄於《The Velvet Underground & Nico》。Live現場單曲版本1988年在英法等地推出，其後，在現埸Live現場版本在1993年被收錄於專輯《Live MCMXCIII》。

歌詞方面

填詞作曲：Lou Reed
製作：Andy Warhol

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don’t forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now bleed for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don’t forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
