《The Plough》歌词

[00:00:00] The Plough - The Divine Comedy

[00:00:13] I packed up my suitcase and left the old farm

[00:00:19] I promised my papa I'd come to no harm

[00:00:26] And I went to the city where I was employed

[00:00:32] In a firm of accountants as an office boy

[00:00:50] I fetched and I carried I watched and I learned

[00:00:57] And slowly but surely I rose through the firm

[00:01:03] But then I discovered my colleagues one day

[00:01:10] Massaging the figures for personal gain

[00:01:16] I said "I'll not wallow in this house of shame"

[00:01:26] I'll plough my own furrow I'll go my own way

[00:01:46] Gravely I listened to Reverend McBride

[00:01:53] Down at the mission house each Friday night

[00:01:59] Heaven salvation for those who know best

[00:02:06] Hell and damnation for all of the rest

[00:02:24] Try as I might I could not understand

[00:02:30] Why The Almighty's all-merciful hand

[00:02:36] Should cast away those whose only mistake

[00:02:43] Was never to know the Christian faith

[00:02:50] The stars that we follow can lead us astray

[00:02:59] I'll plough my own furrow I'll go my own way

[00:03:26] I fled from the capital's bourgeois malaise

[00:03:32] And trekked through the wilderness

[00:03:36] For fourteen days

[00:03:39] Till I found the guerillas camped high in the hills

[00:03:45] I asked Comrade Diaz whom I should kill

[00:04:03] I crept into town with a knife in my teeth

[00:04:10] And entered the home of the Chief of Police

[00:04:16] I stood at his bedside and raised up my blade

[00:04:23] But then I looked to the crib where

[00:04:26] His little one lay

[00:04:29] You murder tomorrow by killing today

[00:04:40] I'll plough my own furrow I'll go my own way
