Spread Your Wings
晚上听歌听到了Queen 的老歌 Spread Your Wings，突然来了兴致google了下歌词（本人听歌基本不记词），发现这竟是首励志的曲子。虽然歌名看起来很像汪峰的飞得更高，但是曲风和歌词与后者完全不同。
飞得更高 更强调个人主观上感情的宣泄，曲子也比较大气。而这首Spread Your Wings 则是以讲故事的形式，描述了一个失意年轻人的故事。这小伙名叫 Sammy ，在一个叫 Emerald bar（翡翠酒吧） 的酒吧干杂务，平时也就扫扫地什么的。虽然老板总是打击他，但是他还是想到外面的世界闯一闯。词作者（叙事者）激励 Sammy 去追逐梦想，让他”spread your wings and fly away”。
MV据说是在鼓手家的后院拍摄的：
Sammy was low | Sammy 很忧郁
Just watching the show | 把演出看了一遍又一遍
Over and over again
Knew it was time | 他知道是时候了
He’d made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind | 把这该死的生活抛到脑后
His boss said to him | 老板对他说：‘Boy you’d better begin | “孩子，你应该把那些疯狂的想法彻底忘掉。
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are? | 你以为你是谁呢？
You should’ve been sweeping up the Emerald bar’ | 你只是在翡翠酒吧干杂务的罢了”Spread your wings and fly away | 伸展你的翅膀，飞翔吧
Fly away far away | 飞向最远处
Spread your little wings and fly away | 展开你的小翅膀，飞吧
Fly away far away | 飞向最远处
Pull yourself together | 别泄气
‘Cos you know you should do better | “你知道你可以做的更好
That’s because you’re a free man | 因为你是一个自由的人”He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room | 他在旅馆里独自过夜
Keeping his thoughts to himself he’d be leaving soon | 想着他还是应该离开
Wishing he was miles and miles away | 远远的离开
Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay | 这地方没什么值得留恋的Since he was small | 他小的时候
Had no luck at all | 就是个倒霉蛋
Nothing came easy to him | 总是到处碰壁
Now it was time | 现在是时候了
He’d made up his mind | 他终于做出了决定，对自己说：
‘This could be my last chance’ | “这是我最后的机会了”His boss said to him ‘now listen boy | 老板又来打击他：
You’re always dreaming | “听着孩子，你总是在幻想
You’ve got no real ambition you won’t get very far | 你并没有真正的抱负。你是走不远的
Sammy boy don’t you know who you are? | 你以为你是谁呢？
Why can’t you be happy at the Emerald bar?’ | 为什么就不能在翡翠酒吧快乐的干下去呢？”So honey | 来吧
Spread your wings and fly away | 伸展你的翅膀，飞翔吧
Fly away far away | 飞向最远处
Spread your little wings and fly away | 展开你的小翅膀，飞吧
Fly away far away | 飞向最远处
Pull yourself together | 打起精神来
‘Cos you know you should do better | “你知道你可以做的更好
That’s because you’re a free man | 因为你是一个自由的人”
Come on honey | 来吧
FLY WITH ME! | 跟我一起飞吧！
