2013年的時候，我算是有短暫地粉過 The 1975，但他們風格轉變太迅速，後來就比較沒關注了，最近不知為何一直在循環他們的處子專，愈聽就愈就覺得那個時期的 The 1975 真香，其中又以 Robbers 這首歌最百聽不膩，即使中間這幾年沒在follow他們，也還是不減對這首的熱愛，老實說我一直都更喜歡原版的Robbers，覺得原版比錄音室版本唱得更深入人心，喜歡帶著粗糙質感未經過多修飾的編曲，喜歡Matt Healy更有爆發力的演唱及更直接的情緒表達。其實還蠻常遇到歌曲原版比錄音室版好聽的狀況，因為經過錄音室的雕琢後，就少了一開始的那份純粹、有些情緒就不見了。

歌詞
[Verse 1]
She had a face straight out a magazine
God only knows but you’ll never leave her
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
And when she gets his gun, he’s begging, “Babe, stay, stay, stay”
[Chorus]
“I’ll give you one more time
We’ll give you one more fight
Said one more line
Will I know you?”
[Verse 2]
Now if you never shoot, you’ll never know
And if you never eat, you’ll never grow
You’ve got a pretty kind of dirty face
And when she’s leaving your home she’s begging you to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
[Chorus]
“I’ll give you one more time
We’ll give you one more fight
Said one more line
There’ll be a riot, ’cause I know you”
[Bridge]
Well now that you’ve got your gun
It’s much harder now the police have come
And I’ll shoot him if it’s what you ask
But if you’d just take off your mask
You’d find out everything’s gone wrong
[Outro]
Now everybody’s dead
And they’re driving past my old school
And he’s got his gun, he’s got his suit on
She says, “Babe, you look so cool
You look so cool, you look so cool
You look so cool, you look so cool
You look so cool”
(‘Cause I know you)
