あたいの好きなトレイン・イン・ヴェイン
Jazz telecaster guitar,nostalgic, romantic ,sultry jazz arrangement led by expressive piano phrases, supported by upright bass and delicate brushwork on drums. The female husky voice delivers smoky melodic lines, highlighted by layered ハモリ (harmonies) in the choruses, adding lush depth to the overall sound.

Lyrics
あんたの顔が
見られてよかったわ
今日のために作った笑顔
柄にもないスーツ
裏返しのネクタイ
みんな笑ってたわ
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
あたい馬鹿だから
何時ものまんま
何時ものまんまよ
お構いなくて
御免なさいね
あんたの顔が
見られてよかったわ
何處かから
レコードプレイヤー
引っぱり出して
一緒にクラッシュが
聴きたいだなんて
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
あたいの好きな
トレイン・イン・ヴェイン
あんたの嫌いな
トレイン・イン・ヴェイン
いつもは飛ばしてたのに
今日は珍しいのね
あんなにやめろって言ったのに
あの名前の分からない
甘くて赤い
日本酒開けて
あんたの顔
窓際で
ちりんちりんと五月蝿い
林檎柄の
風鈴みたい
あんたの顔が
見られてよかったわ
それじゃあ
そろそろ
あたいは行くわ
guitar solo
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
あたい馬鹿なことをした
ファムファタール
一處へはいられないわ
海月がそろそろ増える頃よ
少しの間
お邪魔したわね
そういえばなんだか
あんた
白髪が増えたわね
あんた
小皺が増えたわね
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
あたい馬鹿だから
何時ものまんま
何時ものまんまよ
お変わりなくて
御免なさいね
あんたの顔が
見られてよかったわ
それじゃあ
そろそろ
あたいは行くわ
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
あたいの好きな
トレイン・イン・ヴェイン
あんたの嫌いな
トレイン・イン・ヴェイン
口ずさんで行くわ
あたいの好きな
トレイン・イン・ヴェイン
あんたの嫌いな
トレイン・イン・ヴェイン
口ずさんで行くわ
Did you stand by me?
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
ーーEnglish lyrics ーー
Verse 1
Glad I could see your face tonight,
A smile made just for this day,
That suit not your style,
A necktie turned inside out,
Everyone laughed.
Chorus 1
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
‘Cause I’m a fool,
Same as always,
Exactly the same as always,
Sorry for the trouble,
Please forgive me.
Verse 2
Glad I could see your face tonight,
From somewhere,
You pulled out a dust-covered record player,
Said you wanted to hear The Clash together.
Chorus 2
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
My favorite,
“Train in Vain,”
The one you hate,
“Train in Vain,”
You usually skip it,
But tonight you let it play.
Verse 3
Even though I told you not to,
You opened that sweet, red sake
With no name I know,
And your face—
like an apple-pattern wind chime
ringing at the window.
Verse 4
Glad I could see your face tonight,
Well then,
It’s about time
I take my leave.
Bridge
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
I’ve done foolish things,
A femme fatale,
Never one to stay in one place,
The season when jellyfish drift in is near,
I was only here for a little while.
Verse 5
Come to think of it,
You’ve more white hair now,
And more little wrinkles too.
Chorus 3
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
‘Cause I’m a fool,
Same as always,
Exactly the same as always,
I hope you’ve been keeping well,
Please forgive me.
Verse 6 / Outro Verse
Glad I could see your face tonight,
Well then,
It’s about time
I take my leave.
Chorus 4 / Outro Chorus
(ensemble singing)
(Double tracked vocal)
My favorite,
“Train in Vain,”
The one you hate,
“Train in Vain,”
I’ll be humming it as I go.
My favorite,
“Train in Vain,”
The one you hate,

I’ll be humming it as I go.
Did you stand by me?
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all.
