其实是在听到这首歌之后，我才去看了《这个杀手不太冷》。这个顺序和大多数人来说是反着的吧。

尼龙弦吉他、一把电贝斯，前奏响起的时候总会浮现很多画面，然后就会被sting的落寞清冷的嗓音抓住心绪。   中段10孔的blues口琴非常加分，整首歌忧伤的气氛更加饱满了。

这首歌将纸牌中的四种花色分别对应成权力（梅花）、金钱（方片）、武力（黑桃），心（红桃）。"heart"一语双关，反映了杀手孤独的内心，配合上Sting低沉略带沙哑的声音，被演绎得天衣无缝。

He deals the cards as a meditation

And those he plays never suspect

He doesn't play for the money he wins

He doesn't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer

The sacred geometery of chance

The hidden law of a probable outcome

The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds

He may lay the queen of spades

He may conseal a king in his hand

While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that the diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

But that's not the shape,shape of my heart

And if i told you that i loved you

You'd maybe think there's something wrong

I'm not a man of too many faces

The mask i wear is one

Those who speak know nothing

And find out to their cost

Like those who curse their luck in too many places

Are those who fear a lost

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier

I know that the clubs are weapons of war

I know that diamonds mean money for this art

But that's not the shape of my heart

But that's not the shape of my heart

Thats not the shape,shape of my heart

这首歌是电影《天鹅绒金矿》原声带中的倒数第二首曲子，也是电影中出现的最后一首曲子。我永远都记得属于它的那个画面：穿着一身华丽服装的Brian独自吟唱，在洒满亮箔的大厅里翩然坠下，好似一出完美的谢幕，一个时代随之结束。

Jonathan Rhys的嗓音谈不上悦耳动听，但绝对特别。我见过不止一人说他天赋异禀，身为一个演员，能把这样的曲子唱得入味，确实不易。电影中，他的每一首歌都令人吃惊：从《Hot One》和《Baby’s on fire》中的火辣撩人，到《Ballad of Maxwell Demon》中的随性不羁，最后还有这首我最爱的《Tumbling Down》*。

和前面三者不同的是，这首歌听上去漫不经心又像喃喃自语，背后藏的情绪却颇有些孤寂落寞。就如电影中的主角Brian，盛极必衰，烧成灰烬，也如同Glam Rock绚丽短暂的历史。这世界上什么不是这样，你从泥泞中一步步走上顶点却无人知你，你获得一切却得不到自己最想要的东西。于是你走向了毁灭，tumbling down。

改变世界的荣光消散而去后，人终被世界改变。这个无奈而悲伤的谶语一代代流传，一代代重演。

如果有兴趣，还推荐去看看这部《天鹅绒金矿》。一个摇滚的时代，也是一个没有规矩礼法的时代，所有人像流星一样燃烧自己，我们后人能做的，仅仅是望着他们的背影怅然若失。

*注：电影原声CD中仅收录了两首Jonathan演唱的歌曲：《Baby’s on fire》和《Tumbling Down》；但是电影中上述四首歌曲皆为Jonathan演唱。

Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vultures
But, me, I regard it a torturous hardship that smoulders
Like a peppermint eaten away,
Will I fight, will I swagger or sway?
Hee hee, milady, she cries like a baby, scold us,
See her tumbling down, see her tumbling down.

Hail to the monkey, we're having a funky reunion
Wasted and sunk hecan only have Sunday communion
He's got nicotine stains in his eyes.
He's got nothing to protect but his pride.
All smothered in kiss or be drowned in blissful confusion.
See her tumbling down, see her tumbling down,
See her tumbling down, tumbling down.
