《The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death》歌词

[00:00:00] The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death - The Housemartins

[00:00:20] They smiled so much and waved their flags

[00:00:25] As she saluted to the military band

[00:00:30] Most of the people failed to see

[00:00:35] She had a broken bottle in the other hand

[00:00:41] And she took them by surprise

[00:00:44] When she took them by the throat

[00:00:47] And said my friend you're not allowed to vote

[00:00:51] But they shook it all off

[00:00:54] With a nervous laugh and cough

[00:00:57] Next time she said I'll let those people choke

[00:01:05] The people who grinned themselves to death

[00:01:07] Smiled so much they failed to take a breath

[00:01:10] And even when their kids were starving

[00:01:12] They all thought the queen was charming

[00:01:15] The people who grinned themselves to death

[00:01:17] Smiled so much they failed to take a breath

[00:01:20] And even when their kids were starving

[00:01:23] They all thought the queen was charming

[00:01:35] She polished all upon the wall

[00:01:40] And ran her hands right through her hair

[00:01:45] So if the lady took the time to call

[00:01:50] All the houses on the street would not compare

[00:01:55] And she thought it really funny

[00:01:58] That she hadn't any money

[00:02:01] But those she looked up to they had

[00:02:06] But they shook it all off

[00:02:08] With a nervous laugh and cough

[00:02:11] And when they took her riches it was sad

[00:02:19] The people who grinned themselves to death

[00:02:22] Smiled so much they failed to take a breath

[00:02:24] And even when their kids were starving

[00:02:27] They all thought the queen was charming

[00:02:29] The people who grinned themselves to death

[00:02:32] Smiled so much they failed to take a breath

[00:02:34] And even when their kids were starving

[00:02:37] They all thought the queen was charming

[00:03:00] The people who grinned themselves to death

[00:03:03] Smiled so much they failed to take a breath

[00:03:05] And even when their kids were starving

[00:03:08] They all thought the queen was charming

[00:03:10] The people who grinned themselves to death

[00:03:13] Smiled so much they failed to take a breath

[00:03:15] And even when their kids were starving

[00:03:18] They all thought the queen was charming
