歌词--------------------

It's not time to make a change
Just relax--take it easy
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found
Something going on
But take your time--think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not...

How can I try to explain?
When I do--it turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go...

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down
and take it slowly
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy

All the times, that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it

歌手

If they were right--I'd agree
But it's them--they know
Not me. Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go.
End

歌手介绍------------------

凯特•斯蒂文斯是英国民谣摇滚的代表人物，1947年7月21日生于伦敦，原名史蒂文•乔治乌（Steven Georgiou）。当他成为一名国际明星之后，于1979年皈依宗教并放弃了他的音乐事业并在1977年改名为Yusef Islam，两年后，他逐渐从流行音乐界淡出。1981年，Yusuf Islam开始创作一些宗教题材的歌曲。迄今为止，他在他自己的Mountain of Light厂牌已经发行了10张单是鼓加人声的专辑，而这些内容被他精选收录到了最近的专辑《Footsteps in the Light》当中。
　　六十年代中期，斯蒂文斯在哈默史密斯大学期间就开始自己创作歌曲并于1966年以一首《我喜欢我的狗》（I Love My Dog）走红。1968年，斯蒂文斯感染了肺结核，这迫使他暂时停止了音乐生涯。1970年，他以专辑《Mona Bone Jakon》重返乐坛，并受到一致好评。以后，他继续推出专辑《舵手的茶叶》（Tea of the Tillerman，1971）（出这张Tea for the Tillerman的时候，他的前妻跟人跑了，那首Hard Headed Woman就是说这个事的。不过，专辑整体上却并未沦为一张吐苦水的专辑，只是在保留他一贯风格的同时稍微融入了一点罕见的热烈而已，里面的歌都不错）、《数字》（Numbers，1975），《Izitso》（1977）和《回到地球》（Back to Earth，1978）均获得一定的成绩。其中《Tea For The Tillerman》和《Teaser And The Firecat》等唱片更是被奉为民谣经典。其中还产生了一些热门歌曲《德，阿班维尔太太》（Lady D'Arbanville），《Wild World》(美国著名乐队MR.Big曾翻唱)，《The First Cut is the Deepest》(Rod Stewart曾翻唱)和《Moon Shadow》等。虽然Stevens走红的时间并不算长，但他的影响力还是相当大的， 包括Rod Stewart、Sheryl Crow和MR.Big在内的不同风格的音乐人都曾翻唱过Cat Stevens的歌曲。和当代音乐人相比，经历过六十年代那个音乐黄金年代的Cat Stevens的作品明显更有深度。
　　在七十年代, 出现过一期Singer-songwriter movement, 出现过的名字有John Denver, James Tayler, Jackson Browne及Cat Stevens, 他们的歌曲很温馨舒情, 一派校园民歌气息. Cat Stevens的Morning has broken, Wild World, The first cut is the deepest等, 全部词入心, 曲入耳. 难得此碟十分慷慨, 好歌一一收录还加有一首Perviously unreleased的I ve Got A Thing About Seeing My Grandson Grow Old。
