He is lovely. 



他的歌幾乎都有輕快的吉他聲，很民謠

然後他的歌詞有些有髒話式的形容詞(F開頭的) 真的很可愛



His lyrics are beautiful.

The Ballad Of Me And My Friends is my favorite song.  



Frank Turner - The Ballad Of Me And My Friends with lyrics

Everybody’s got themselves a plan,

Everybody thinks they’ll be the man, including the girls.

The musicians who lack the friends to form a band are singer-songwriters,

The rest of us are DJ’s or official club photographers.

And tonight I’m playing another Nambucca show,

So I’m going through my phonebook, texting everyone I know,

And I quite a few I don’t, whose numbers found their way into my phone,

But they might come along anyway, you never really know.

None of this is going anywhere –

Pretty soon we’ll all be old,

And no one left alive will really care

About our glory days, when we sold our souls.

But if you’re all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.

We’re going nowhere slowly, but we’re seeing all the sights.

And we’re definitely going to hell,

But we’ll have all the best stories to tell.

This is an amazing live! The song starts at 0:50.






Frank Turner - My Kingdom For A Horse (live)












Frank Turner - Must Try Harder with lyrics

Mother loves me still despite

My failing health and lack of drive.

Shame on me, I could be so much better than I am.

Songs unfinished, post unopened,

Clothes unwashed and vows now broken.

Shame on me, I could be so much better than I am.

If I could just relax, then I could admit

That I don’t know what I want, but this is not it.

If I could just recall the dreams I had as a kid,

If I could just relax, if I could let my guard slip,

I’d be such a winner.

How lovely!
