《Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back to Leeds》歌词

[00:00:00] Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back to Leeds - The Mountain Goats

[00:00:09] There's indifference on the wind

[00:00:11] But a faint gust of hope

[00:00:13] At a club nobody goes to

[00:00:15] With a musty velvet rope

[00:00:17] Guys in Motörhead jackets

[00:00:20] Who knew him way back when

[00:00:22] Haven't raised a drink in years

[00:00:25] But now meet up again

[00:00:27] To remember how it was

[00:00:28] When they all thought they'd move away

[00:00:31] And ride in Lotus 7s

[00:00:33] Through the London streets one day

[00:00:38] Nobody ever gets away

[00:00:47] Even the best of us come back some day

[00:00:55] To the unmarked rooms where the dry dust breeds

[00:01:04] Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds

[00:01:20] There's a rusted fog machine

[00:01:22] In a concrete storage space

[00:01:24] Letter number combinations

[00:01:26] With no meaning on its face

[00:01:29] They won't make these anymore

[00:01:31] It's a wooden coach-n-four

[00:01:33] No one will even steal it

[00:01:35] If you leave it by the door

[00:01:38] No sign to mark it's going

[00:01:40] No tombstone for its grave

[00:01:42] There will be goodbyes by dozens

[00:01:44] So practice being brave

[00:01:49] No one anticipates the rush

[00:01:58] The breezy feeling of the faceless crush

[00:02:06] At the ends of things where the salvage bleeds

[00:02:15] Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds

[00:02:23] They don't throw him a parade

[00:02:28] He just comes in on a train

[00:02:31] One suitcase in his hand

[00:02:33] And an old army backpack

[00:02:35] From the second world war

[00:02:37] From a Leipzig secondhand store

[00:02:49] Pick the keys up from the agent

[00:02:51] Everything's been taken care of

[00:02:53] No big changes in the roadways

[00:02:55] Since you've left that I'm aware of

[00:02:57] A few old buildings gone to dust

[00:03:00] And some new ones in the way

[00:03:02] They'll look just like the old ones

[00:03:04] When the winds have had their say

[00:03:06] See the children bound for London

[00:03:09] You'll all be back too

[00:03:11] Everybody tests the membrane

[00:03:13] But no one pushes through

[00:03:18] Come on boys that'll be enough

[00:03:27] You'd think your old friends wouldn't play so tough

[00:03:36] Like a basket by the Nile hiding down among the reeds

[00:03:44] Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds
