瘾君子听了《西区女孩》后，在伦敦企图杀人

In a near-deadly case of life imitating art, lawyers for a schizophrenic crack addict say he traveled to the West End of London — after listening to the Pet Shop Boys song “West End Girls” — and tried killing a man because he thought the lyrics were sending him “a message.”

这是一个模仿艺术的致命案例，一个患有精神分裂症的瘾君子，在听了宠物店男孩乐队的“西区女孩”后，前往伦敦西区的途中，试图杀害另一名男子，他的律师辩称是歌词给了他这个“信息”。

“You think you’re mad, too unstable,” the lyrics read. “Call the police there’s a mad man around, running down underground.”

歌词上写道：“你认为自己疯了，太不稳定了。”“叫警察来，附近有一个疯子，正在往地下跑。”

The defense team for Paul Crossley, 47, claimed in court that he was hearing the lyrics over and over again in his head due to his mental condition — and this prompted him to attack his victim last April, The Sun reports.

据《太阳报》报道，47岁的保罗·克罗斯利(PaulCrossley)的辩护团队在法庭上声称，由于他精神分裂，且一遍又一遍地在脑海中反复听到这首歌，促使他在去年4月攻击了受害者。

Crossley set upon the 91-year-old man, identified as former Eurotunnel boss Sir Robert Malpas, while he was waiting to board a train at London’s Marble Arch station, according to the British newspaper.

据英国报纸报道，克罗斯利在伦敦大理石拱门站等火车时，偶然发现了一名91岁的男子，后确认这名男子为欧洲隧道公司的前老板罗伯特·马尔帕斯爵士。

Crossley attempted to push Malpas onto the tracks and into the path of a train. He was also accused of doing the same thing to another individual at the Tottenham Court Road tube station just minutes earlier.

克罗斯利试图把马尔帕斯推到铁轨上，就在几分钟前，他还被指控在托特纳姆法院路地铁站对另一名乘客做了同样的事情。
