《The Flight of the Earls》歌词

[00:00:00] The Flight of the Earls - Wolfe Tones

[00:00:15] I can hear the bells of Dublin

[00:00:19] In this lonely waiting room

[00:00:23] And the paperboys are singin'

[00:00:27] In the rain

[00:00:30] Not too long before they take us

[00:00:34] To the airport and the noise

[00:00:38] To get on board

[00:00:40] A transatlantic plane

[00:00:46] We've got nothin' left to stay for

[00:00:50] We had no more left to say

[00:00:53] And there isn't any work

[00:00:57] For us to do

[00:01:01] So fare well you boys and girls

[00:01:05] Another bloody

[00:01:06] Flight of earls

[00:01:08] Our best asset

[00:01:11] Is our best export too

[00:01:16] It's not murder fear or famine

[00:01:20] That makes us leave this time

[00:01:24] We're not going to join

[00:01:26] McAlpine's Fusiliers

[00:01:31] We've got brains

[00:01:33] And we've got visions

[00:01:35] We've got education too

[00:01:39] But we just can't throw away

[00:01:42] These precious years

[00:01:47] So we walk the streets of London

[00:01:51] And the streets of Baltimore

[00:01:54] And we meet at night

[00:01:57] In several Boston bars

[00:02:02] We're the leaders of the future

[00:02:06] But we're far away from home

[00:02:10] And we dream of you

[00:02:12] Beneath the Irish stars

[00:02:33] As we look on Ellis Island

[00:02:36] And the lady in the bay

[00:02:40] And Manhattan turns to face

[00:02:43] Another Sunday

[00:02:48] We just wonder what you're doing

[00:02:52] But to bring us all back home

[00:02:56] As we look forward to another Monday

[00:03:03] Because it's not the work

[00:03:05] That scares us

[00:03:07] We don't mind an honest job

[00:03:10] And we know things will get better

[00:03:14] Once again

[00:03:18] So a thousand times adieu

[00:03:22] We've got bono and U2

[00:03:26] All we're missin'

[00:03:27] Is the Guinness

[00:03:29] And the rain

[00:03:33] So switch off

[00:03:34] Your new computers

[00:03:37] 'Cause the writing's on the wall

[00:03:41] We're leaving as our fathers

[00:03:44] Did before

[00:03:48] Take a look

[00:03:50] At Dublin airport

[00:03:52] Or the boat that leaves North Wall

[00:03:56] There'll be no youth

[00:03:58] Unemployment

[00:04:00] Any more

[00:04:04] Because we're over here in Queensland

[00:04:08] And in parts of New South Wales

[00:04:12] We're on the seas and airways

[00:04:15] And the trains

[00:04:19] And if we see better days

[00:04:23] Those big airplanes go both ways

[00:04:27] And we'll all be comin' home

[00:04:30] To you again
