Rasputin(我的心上人)

背景:
拉斯普廷(Rasputin)是指 Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin(1870~1917),生于西伯利亚,死于圣彼得堡,因具有缓和小皇子血友病之能力,所以受到皇后重用。虽名为僧侣,但行径与一般僧侣大相径庭,他酗酒、嫖妓,与贵族妇女(除皇后、公主外)相狎。他对沙皇一家具甚大影响力,甚至对政局亦具有影响,引起贵族的强烈怨恨与仇视,最终他死于贵族、亲王之手。他的死亡也頗具传奇性,据说他吃了渗有氯化物的饼干,喝了毒物的酒,都未死亡,直至被贵族用手枪射穿胸口一枪,昏迷,然后醒转追击贵族,再被补上数枪,然后弃尸于涅瓦河中,伴随河声淙淙流逝。当时的罗门诺夫王朝已是强弩之末,在1918年二月革命被捕,沙皇全家,包括医生、仆役等,全被秘密处决,距离Rasputin之死約两年。
歌词:
There lived a certain man
In Russia long ago
He was big and strong
In his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him
With terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks
He was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
There lived a certain man
In Russia long ago
He was big and strong
In his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him
With terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks
He was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
Ra Ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra Ra Rasputin
Russia&`&s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land
And never mind the czar
But the kasachok
He danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state
He was the man to please
But he was real great
When he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she&`&d heard the things he&`&d done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
Ra Ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra Ra Rasputin
Russia&`&s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
(Spoken)But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power
Became known to more and more people
The demands to do something about this outrageous man
Became louder and louder.
This man just got to go
Declared his enemies
But the ladies begged
Don&`&t you try to do it please
No doubt this Rasputin
Had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute
They just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap they&`&re not to blame
Come to visit us they kept demanding
And he really came
Ra Ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
Ra Ra Rasputin
Russia&`&s greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said I feel fine
Ra Ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn&`&t quit they wanted his head
Ra Ra Rasputin
Russia&`&s greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
(Spoken) Oh those Russians...
