歌曲歌詞
(Johnny Hates Jazz)
turn back the clock
another day is ended
and i still can't sleep
remembering my yesterday
i begin to weep oh !
if i could have it over
live my life again
i wouldn't change a single day
i wish that i could turn back the clock
bring the wheels of time to a stop
back to the days
when life was so much better oh~no
lying here in silence
picture in my hand
of a boy i still resemble
but i no longer understand
as the tears run freely oh~
how i realize
they were the best years of my life
i wish that i could turn back the clock
bring the wheels of time to a stop
back to the days
when life was so much better oh~no
you might say it's just a case of giving up
oh ~no
but without these memories where is the love
so where is the love
if i could have it over
live my life again
i wouldn't change a single day
i wish that i could turn back the clock
bring the wheels of time to a stop
back to the days
when life was so much better oh~no
why can't i turn back the clock
bring the wheels of time to a stop
back to the days oh no no
i remember when
life was so good
i'd go back if i could
oh no i wouldn't change a single day
don't let the memoirs slip away
i wouldn't change a single day
評價
20世紀80年代,英國湧現出了一批優秀的新浪漫主義樂隊.儘管他們當中的不少樂隊宛如流星般在樂壇轉瞬即逝,但是他們留下的一些經典曲目至今仍綻放著絢麗的光彩.Johnny Hates Jazz的《Turn Back the Clock》就屬於其中的精品之一.由Clark Datchler (主唱、鋼琴)、Calvin Hayes (鍵盤)以及Mike Nocito (貝斯)三位大男生於1986年所組成的Johnny Hates Jazz,在其短暫卻輝煌的音樂生涯中，雖然僅發行過2張錄音室專輯,都憑著其乾淨且帥氣的長相以及斯文的打扮，加上其輕柔精緻的流行曲風，風靡一時，可以說其音樂的流行元素在當今也不為過時。其主唱Clark Datchler 克拉克.戴茨勒音色優美清澈，相貌英俊而風度翩翩，典型的“雅皮士”形象，在80年代中後期～90年代初期虜獲了全球無數女性樂迷的心。
高明駿（《多要一些》）和杜德偉（英文原唱）都翻唱過這首老歌。
