  我十分喜愛這首歌,雖然第一次聽到歌並不是由Eagles所演唱的版本,而是在《In America》

(中文片名:前進天堂)由姊姊Christy所詮釋,以後有機會再介紹這部電影...

  這首歌是1973年Eagles第二張大碟所收錄的曲子,主唱Don Henley,是隊中的「鼓手」,很少

主唱是鼓手吧?Desperado解作亡命之徒,聽說他們的靈感來源是當時Don與Glenn(鍵盤手)有感美

國罪案漸多,在新聞看到其中一個犯人被押送到監獄時感慨起來,於是作出這曲。幾年後,Don也惹上

一些麻煩入獄,這會不會是近年演唱會版本更動人的原因呢?個人不負責任臆測!

  這首歌所描述的心境不僅限於犯人,日劇「華麗一族」也用此曲當作配樂,當前奏一想起,我很快

就能體會主角鐵平(木村拓哉)的掙扎。

總有一天會傷害你
Don't you draw the Queen of diamonds boy
你不拿走方塊皇后那張牌嗎?
She'll beat you if she's able
它逮到機會就會把你擊垮
The Queen of hearts is always your best bet
