Something About England
作詞:Mick Jones, John Mellor
They say immigrants steal the hubcaps Of the respected gentlemen They say it would be wine an' roses If England were for Englishmen again
I saw a dirty overcoat at the foot of the pillar of the road Propped inside was an old man whose time would not erode When the night was snapped by sirens those blue lights circled past The dance hall called for an' ambulance the bars all closed up fast
My silence gazing at the ceiling while roaming the single room I thought the old man could help me if he could explain the gloom You really think it all new, you really think about it too The old man scoffed as he spoke to me I'll tell you a thing or two
I missed the fourteen-eighteen war but not the sorrow afterwards With my father dead and my mother ran off My brothers took the pay of hoods The twenties turned the north was dead The hunger strike came marching south At the garden party not a word was said 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 The ladies lifted cake to their mouths
The next war began and my ship sailed with battle orders written red In five long years of bullets and shells left ten million dead The few returned to old Piccadilly we limped around Leicester Square The world was busy rebuilding itself the architects could not care
How could we know when I was young all the changes that were to come All the photos in the wallets on the battlefield And now the terror of the scientific sun There was masters an' servants an' servants an' dogs They taught you how to touch your cap Through strikes an' famine an' war an' peace, England never closed this gap
So leave me now the moon is up but remember all the tales I tell The memories that you have dredged up are on letters forwarded from hell
The streets were by now deserted The gangs had trudged off home The lights clicked out in the bed sits Old England was all alone
