Poor man's moody blues
Barclay James Harvest

*All the nights that I've missed you
All the nights without end
All the times that I've called you
Only needing a friend
Now your eyes shine with beauty
That I missed long ago
Guess the truth is I love you
I can't say any more
Cause I need you
Yes, I want you
Yes, I love you

As I look from my window to the street where you stand
I am gazing through dark glass
We can't walk hand in hand
Though your friends try to tell me
Though your friends you defend
They keep my heart from your heart
We must be in the end
Cause I love you
Yes, I need you
Yes, I love you(*)

穷人的忧郁蓝调
　ＢＪＨ合唱团

我想念你的每一个夜里
那些无尽的夜里
我每一次打电话给你
只是因为需要朋友
如今你的眼睛闪耀着美丽
那是很久以前我所怀念的
事实上，那是因为我爱你
我不能再说了
因为我需要你
是的！我要你
我爱你

当我从窗户向外望，望着你伫立的街头
透过黑暗的玻璃凝视着
我俩无法牵手同行
尽管你的朋友试着提醒我
尽管你为朋友辩护
他们占据了你我的心头
我们不得不结束
因为我爱你
是的！我需要你
我爱你

    名团Moody blues 推出 Nights in white satin 大受欢迎，同为英国摇滚团体的Barclay James Harvest不服气，认为旋律简单，歌词又不知所云，所以写下了" Poor man's moody blues "，刻意把和弦套用得与Nights in white satin一模一样，类似 Rain and tears 套用帕海贝尔的「卡农」和弦的处理，歌词也填得神似，连曲名都刻意取得充满嘲讽意味。
