《To The Victor The Spoils》歌词

[00:00:00] To The Victor The Spoils - Kate Tempest

[00:00:00] In Giuseppe's

[00:00:00] The tablecloths shine with wear

[00:00:02] The chairs are threadbare

[00:00:04] But look happy to be sitting there

[00:00:06] Becky's cashing up

[00:00:06] It's the end of her shift

[00:00:08] Her Uncle Ron's at the counter

[00:00:10] Drinking a Gin Fizz

[00:00:11] It's his place he gave her the work

[00:00:13] He's like a dad to her

[00:00:15] For better or worse

[00:00:16] For now

[00:00:17] He stabs at a lemon rind with a toothpick

[00:00:19] What's the matter

[00:00:20] Ron' Becky says

[00:00:21] Are you sick

[00:00:22] He shakes his head

[00:00:23] Says

[00:00:24] Troubles I got

[00:00:25] And she waits for more

[00:00:26] Focusing on a spot

[00:00:28] On the top of his head

[00:00:29] She ain't noticed before

[00:00:30] But suddenly her Uncle Rags

[00:00:32] Comes strutting through the door

[00:00:34] Becky sees that this means business

[00:00:37] Some things she ain't supposed to know

[00:00:39] Ron smiles at her with thin lips

[00:00:42] Right says Becky time I go

[00:00:45] Blood is thicker than ignorance

[00:00:47] Blood is richer than oil

[00:00:50] But love is what's truly significant

[00:00:53] To the victor the spoils

[00:00:57] To the kids who can toil

[00:00:59] To the kids who can work

[00:01:01] Know that nothing's worth shit

[00:01:03] Till it's difficult

[00:01:04] And nothing don't heal till it hurts

[00:01:07] They call him Rags

[00:01:08] Why

[00:01:08] Cause he leaves bodies in tatters

[00:01:10] Not the type of man to be flattered

[00:01:13] Eyes like patches on a blood stained mattress

[00:01:16] Taps on the window and it shatters

[00:01:18] For now he sits down heavily

[00:01:20] His voice is soft

[00:01:21] Some junior Joey trying to play boss

[00:01:24] Thought he could run a scam

[00:01:26] And now we lost about a key and a half

[00:01:28] Whatever

[00:01:28] A small cost to find a snake in the grass

[00:01:31] And yeah Pico ain't happy

[00:01:33] But you know well the game plays on

[00:01:36] We think the kid's called Harry

[00:01:39] But we might be wrong

[00:01:40] So we're looking for him yeah

[00:01:41] Well we were but it all got hot

[00:01:43] You know Pico's inside

[00:01:45] Too much eyes so we stopped

[00:01:46] Cut your losses

[00:01:47] But the bosses

[00:01:48] Would prefer some bodies

[00:01:49] I'm getting too old for that now

[00:01:51] I get my jollies

[00:01:52] Just sitting down fishing

[00:01:53] Yeah It's good to have a hobby

[00:01:55] Keeps you on your toes

[00:01:56] When your knees are getting wobbly

[00:01:58] So after all that

[00:01:59] Ron breathes out stale air

[00:02:01] There's no f**king panic

[00:02:02] Rags gets up Take care mate

[00:02:04] I got a date with a lady in Mayfair

[00:02:06] Put your knives away

[00:02:07] And let them stay there

[00:02:09] Blood is thicker than ignorance

[00:02:12] Blood is richer than oil

[00:02:14] But love is what's truly significant

[00:02:18] To the victor the spoils

[00:02:20] To the kids who can toil

[00:02:23] To the kids who can work

[00:02:26] Know that nothing's worth shit

[00:02:27] Till it's difficult

[00:02:29] And nothing don't heal till it hurts

[00:02:31] If I found this guy Harry

[00:02:33] Maybe Pico would be pleased

[00:02:34] Call my debts off

[00:02:35] And I could get up off my knees

[00:02:37] Ron looks around at the café that he loves

[00:02:40] Thinks how good it would be

[00:02:41] If he could wash off all the blood

[00:02:42] All that money from them grubby men

[00:02:44] He'd start again

[00:02:45] And spruce it up

[00:02:45] Call it Rebecca's

[00:02:47] In nice clear letters

[00:02:48] He pushes his mop across the floor

[00:02:51] And then he shakes his head as he locks the door

[00:02:54] Best be happy with the way things are

[00:02:57] It's not good to want for more
