All Would Envy - Shawn Colvin & Chris Botti

老男人，和他年輕貌美的妻子...誰不羨慕呢?
老男人再次感覺自己像個真正的男人，年輕的女人也得到她想要的花朵、戒指、無憂無慮的生活，這難道不是雙贏的局面？看似完美的關係，背後也有不足為外人道的問題；而就算這不是老少戀而僅是一般適婚的都會男女，我懷疑這些寂寞心情或許還是免不了。

這歌原來是 Sting 在 Police時期所寫的，這種冷調的 smooth urban jazz 的確就很適合 Sting 演唱，不過soulseek搜尋了一下竟然沒有 Sting 的版本 ~ 找到最多的是 Shawn Colvin 跟長的像裘德洛的小號手 Chris Botti 的版本，這個翻唱也很好聽啦，Shawn Colvin 的聲音相當有都會熟女感，Chris Botti 的演奏也是溫文儒雅，帥氣優雅，不過還是很想聽 Sting 桑他本人的演唱啦！！

Old enough to be her dad
But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances
And she was flattered by his charm
It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances

He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen
Anything she ever wanted
It was no problem for a man like him
And everyone expected soon
That she could ask him for the moon
If she would wear his ring

Knowing glances from his friends
In the homes at the weekends of high society
But he didn't give a damn
He never felt more like a man

And all the time the clock was ticking
And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy

In a house upon a hill
She was there with time to kill
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
The life was never what it seemed
To all her friends that she'd ignored
She denied she was bored
She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing

But the clock upon the wall
That was ticking in the hall
Always reminded her
That life was going on as well
But she was happy and she would swear she wouldn't change a thing

And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy

Now it's 5 o'clock am
She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers
She loves to dance
She's missing more and more these days
But he's still stuck in his old ways
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
She must be home soon¡­ soon
Where a younger man would weep
He takes a pill and goes to sleep

Now who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife
Who would envy?
Who would envy?
