《Old England》歌词

[00:00:01] The Waterboys - Old England

[00:00:06] Edit by：苏笑嫣

[00:00:20] Man looks up on a yellow sky

[00:00:31] And the rain turns to rust in his eye

[00:00:40] Rumors of his health are lies

[00:00:46] Old England is dying

[00:00:59] His clothes are a dirty shade of blue

[00:01:09] And his ancient shoes worn through

[00:01:17] He steals from me and he lies to you old England is dying

[00:01:37] Still he sings an empire song

[00:01:46] Still he keeps his navy strong

[00:01:55] And he sticks his flag where it ill belongs old England is dying

[00:02:25] You're asking what makes me sigh now

[00:02:34] What it is makes me shudder so well

[00:02:43] I just freeze in the wind

[00:02:46] And I'm Numb from the pummelin' of the snow

[00:02:52] That falls from high in yellow skies

[00:03:01] Where the well loved flag of England flies

[00:03:11] Where homes are warm and mothers sigh

[00:03:20] Where comedians laugh and babies cry

[00:03:29] Where criminals are televised politicians fraternize

[00:03:34] Journalists are dignified and everyone is civilized

[00:03:38] And children stare with Heroin eyes Heroin eyes Heroin eyes

[00:03:47] Old England Old England

[00:04:05] Old England is dying dying

[00:04:44] Evening has fallen

[00:04:46] The swans are singing

[00:04:50] The last of Sunday's bells is ringing

[00:04:55] The wind in the trees is sighing

[00:05:01] And old England is dying
