搖滾經典：窮街樂隊18 and Life

《18 and life》是來自美國樂隊窮街（Skid Row）同名專輯的第二首單曲。
歌曲講述的是18少年的闖蕩江湖的故事，在城市的紛爭中打拼，用力量和意志殺開自己生活的道路。雖說這首歌是一首流行金屬的“情歌”，但是不得不承認伴隨著歌詞和主唱的嗓音，一股硬派的鐵血之情不禁從詞曲間流露出來，有很強的感染力。

18 and life

Ricky was a young boy
He had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his
Fingers to the bone

Just barely out of school
Came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
So no one could take him down

He had no money, ooh
No good at home
He walked the streets a soldier
And he fought the world alone
And now it's...

Eighteen and life you got it
Eighteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life you got it
Eighteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eighteen and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat
His veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor runnin'
But he never kept it clean

They say he loved adventure
Ricky's the wild on
He married trouble
Had a courtship with a gun

Bang, bang! Shoot 'em up
the party never ends
You can't think of dying
When the bottle's your best friend
And now it's...

"Accidents will happen"
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
That child blew a child away

十八歲和人生

瑞奇是個年輕的孩子
他有一副鐵石心腸
過著朝九晚五的生活
工作十分賣力
只想遠離學校
他來自小鎮的偏遠地區
像把摺疊刀一樣的戰鬥
沒有人能打敗他
他身無分文，在家也不安份
走在街上
像個戰士，獨自和世界奮戰
那是因為........
