《Tragedy Now Strikes Hard. ...》歌词

[00:00:00] breakfast in mayfair - fairport convention

[00:00:07] the world has surely lost its head.

[00:00:10] the news is full of crimes

[00:00:14] there's robberies in the telegraph.

[00:00:17] and there's murders in the times.

[00:00:21] and always more obituaries

[00:00:24] and even one of these

[00:00:28] concerns the brutal slaughter

[00:00:31] of an old miss emma keys

[00:00:40] the police have got their man

[00:00:42] they're sure he never left the scene.

[00:00:47] indeed he led the hue and cry

[00:00:50] a most unusual thing

[00:00:54] an arsonist, a murderer

[00:00:57] his soul will soon be frying

[00:01:01] he's young but old enough to kill.

[00:01:04] but not too young for dying

[00:01:13] now it seams the populous will queue.

[00:01:16] to see him stand in court

[00:01:20] to hear him speak his wicked lies.

[00:01:23] while smiling at his thoughts

[00:01:27] this arrogant young ruffian

[00:01:30] is obviously guilty

[00:01:34] though no where does it say exactly.

[00:01:37] how or why he killed her

[00:02:19] forget it, dear, it's not the first

[00:02:23] there's bound to be another

[00:02:26] the way you carry on

[00:02:28] you'll have us thinking she's your mother.

[00:02:33] this man called 'me' has had his day.

[00:02:37] and soon he'll be forgotten

[00:02:40] so, put that paper down

[00:02:43] before your breakfast goes quite rotten.
