《Crooked Tree》歌词

[00:00:02] Crooked Tree - Sting&Shaggy

[00:00:09] All rise for the Honorable Judge Burrell

[00:00:16] This court is called to order

[00:00:19] These charges are serious

[00:00:22] Stand up and face the bench

[00:00:25] How do you plead sir how do you plead

[00:00:30] Guilty as charged the Judge decreed stand up and face the bench

[00:00:36] I have some words to say to you before we recommence

[00:00:43] A list of crimes this serious I swear I have not seen

[00:00:50] In all the years that I have served

[00:00:53] Her Majesty the Queen

[00:00:57] Arson murder blackmail grand larceny and theft

[00:01:04] Drug dealing human trafficking I ask the court what's left

[00:01:11] Are there words of mitigation before I pass the sentence

[00:01:17] Anything that you can tell the court to add to your defense

[00:01:24] I faced the court thought long and hard before I gave reply

[00:01:31] There's something that you need to hear from me before I die

[00:01:38] The circumstances of my birth were something short of bliss

[00:01:45] I have this from my mother it was told to me like this

[00:01:51] The day that I was born she said

[00:01:55] The good Lord woke from slumber

[00:01:59] Looking 'round his timber yard

[00:02:02] He found he had no lumber

[00:02:05] Apart from some old twisted branch in shadows left to lurk

[00:02:12] He pulled it out into the light and set about his work

[00:02:19] She told me that the world should not expect too much of me

[00:02:25] When the good Lord carved my crooked soul out of a crooked tree

[00:02:32] When the good Lord carved my crooked soul out of a crooked tree

[00:02:40] Stand up and face the bench

[00:02:43] I've heard all you've got to say

[00:02:46] That there look on your face says you're guilty

[00:02:49] And now it's your judgment day

[00:02:53] I'm not asking for forgiveness

[00:02:56] I'm not proud of what I've done

[00:03:00] I did the things I had to do like any other mother's son

[00:03:07] None of us are perfect so remember what you see

[00:03:13] When the good lord carved this crooked soul out of a crooked tree
