《Cracker Night》歌词

[00:00:00] Cracker Night - John Williams

[00:00:07] Teary eyes at the window

[00:00:10] Where did Mum and Dad go

[00:00:12] I wish someone would hurry up

[00:00:14] And come and get me

[00:00:14] Gee I'm scared

[00:00:18] The cat shot through

[00:00:19] She saw the light and fled

[00:00:23] Cracker night was a real big deal

[00:00:26] When I was a little kid

[00:00:29] They started lettin' them off

[00:00:30] After tea I ran inside and hid

[00:00:34] And all the dogs from everywhere

[00:00:36] Were underneath me bed

[00:00:41] We all went down in our dressing gowns

[00:00:43] To see the big bonfire

[00:00:46] Wide eyes watched the straw man burn

[00:00:48] On a mile-high pile of tyres

[00:00:51] Hot as hell big black smell

[00:00:54] And red hot rings of wire

[00:00:59] Sky rockets zinging

[00:01:01] Catherine wheels spinning

[00:01:04] What a flamin' evening

[00:01:07] Fire trucks were screaming

[00:01:09] Smoky haze hangin' round for days

[00:01:12] And Grandma's ears were ringing

[00:01:16] Everynight after school draggin' bits of wood

[00:01:21] Boxes and branches and rotten old fences

[00:01:24] And mattresses were good

[00:01:27] We even scrounged a vinyl lounge

[00:01:29] And anything we could

[00:01:33] Little Guy Fawkes's and letter boxes

[00:01:36] Blown all out of shape

[00:01:39] Light the wick and back off quick

[00:01:41] And make the big escape

[00:01:44] Cackin' ourselves and rippin' my shirt

[00:01:46] Scrambling through the gate

[00:01:51] Sky rockets zinging

[00:01:54] Catherine wheels spinning

[00:01:56] What a flamin' evening

[00:01:59] Fire trucks were screaming

[00:02:01] Smoky haze hangin' round for days

[00:02:04] And Grandma's ears were ringing

[00:02:08] A house burnt down on the edge of town

[00:02:10] We all took off with Pa

[00:02:13] This thing whizzed across the road

[00:02:16] And nearly hit our car

[00:02:18] A bang and spark lit up the park

[00:02:21] And everyone went

[00:02:28] Cracker night was a real big deal

[00:02:30] When I was a little kid

[00:02:33] It seems like only yesterday

[00:02:36] Tucked away in bed

[00:02:38] Dreams of schemes and double bunger

[00:02:41] Daring things we did
