《Charlemagne》歌词

[00:00:01] Charlemagne - John Cale

[00:00:14] The manager is waiting to be paid

[00:00:21] Along with priests and deacons of his court

[00:00:28] A quartermaster quite a man a mistress of the line

[00:00:35] Has found a last cent avenue of pain

[00:00:45] A Mardi Gras just passed this way a while ago

[00:00:51] Making hungry people of us all

[00:00:58] Along the Mississippi you can hear the fiddlers play

[00:01:05] Fandangos and boleros to the lord

[00:01:12] Many times many tried

[00:01:19] Simple stories are the best

[00:01:26] Keep in mind the wishful kind

[00:01:32] Don't wanna be like all the rest

[00:01:42] My uncle was a vicar in the big parade

[00:01:48] Selling fountain pens that never write

[00:01:55] San Sebastian gamblers never cheat nor lie

[00:02:03] They know good fences make good neighbours

[00:02:09] I wish I knew what time of year it was

[00:02:16] What kind of people will be there

[00:02:22] When gruesome tales of two cities ran

[00:02:29] Running all the way

[00:02:46] Father might have heard his prayers were answered

[00:02:52] Inhibitions all the way from home

[00:02:59] Consider now consider then before the deed is done

[00:03:06] The blood of consolation runs so true

[00:03:12] Many times many tried Simple stories are the best

[00:03:26] Keep in mind the wishful kind

[00:03:33] Don't wanna be like all the rest
