Dust Filled Room歌曲歌词:
She sat smoking a cigarette
The fire on her legs
In the dust filled room she wished that the cigarette could last forever
But the fire died down and the cigarette burned out
And the room grew dark and she got up
And went out to see once again what it was that was outside
Oh I know that chair I’ve sat there
As one goes out another one sits down
In the dust filled room they wish that the cigarette could last forever

Bill Fay简介:
by Richie Unterberger
Obscure British singer/songwriter Bill Fay made a couple of albums in the early ’70s that matched Dylanesque songwriting with unusual arrangements. Fay had actually done his first single, “Some Good Advice”/”Screams in the Ears,” for Deram back in 1967, produced by early Donovan co-manager Peter Eden. The single introduced his characteristic downbeat melodies and scrambled impressionistic lyrics, though with somewhat more pop-oriented production and melodies than those heard on his albums.
It wouldn’t be until 1970 that his self-titled debut appeared. Bill Fay is an odd and not particularly good record, in large part because his songwriting has the obvious ambition of song-poets like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, but not nearly as much talent. His hoarse, thin singing is also obviously Dylan-influenced, but like fellow Dylan acolyte David Blue, he had the tendency to go distressingly off-key. There was a bit of the British lilting storytelling style to his songwriting, in the path of Al Stewart, Donovan, and Nick Drake, but these traits were far subordinate to the inchoate Dylanisms. Twee orchestral arrangements figure strongly on the record, as if to cover up for some of the artist’s vocal deficiencies. His second LP, Time of the Last Persecution (from 1971), was similar in its songwriting, but far more straightforward and rock-oriented in its production, and more conventionally accomplished in its vocal delivery. Though still not noteworthy, it was definitely better than its predecessor, and sometimes enlivened by unexpectedly gnarly rock guitar.
