《Fancy》歌词

[00:00:00] Fancy - Snow Patrol (雪地巡游者)
[00:00:01] I remember it all very well lookin' back
[00:00:04] It was the summer I turned eighteen
[00:00:06] We lived in a one room rundown shack
[00:00:09] On the outskirts of New Orleans
[00:00:11] We didn't have money for food or rent
[00:00:13] To say the least we were hard pressed
[00:00:16] Then Mama spent every last penny we had
[00:00:18] To buy me a dancin' dress
[00:00:21] Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
[00:00:23] And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin
[00:00:27] Dancin' dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
[00:00:31] It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
[00:00:35] Standin' back from the lookin' glass
[00:00:37] There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
[00:00:40] She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:00:45] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:01:01] Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
[00:01:04] And she kissed my cheek
[00:01:05] Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
[00:01:08] When she started to speak
[00:01:10] She looked at a pitiful shack
[00:01:12] And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
[00:01:15] She said your Pa's run off and I'm real sick
[00:01:17] And the baby's gonna starve to death
[00:01:19] She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
[00:01:21] "To thine own self be true"
[00:01:24] And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
[00:01:26] The toe of my high heel shoe
[00:01:29] It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'
[00:01:31] Askin' Mama what do I do
[00:01:33] She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
[00:01:35] And they'll be nice to you
[00:01:38] She said here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:01:42] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:01:47] Lord forgive me for what I do but if you want out
[00:01:51] Well it's up to you
[00:01:52] Now don't let me down you better start movin' uptown
[00:01:59] Well that was the last time I saw my Ma
[00:02:01] The night I left that rickety shack
[00:02:03] The welfare people came and took the baby
[00:02:05] Mama died and I ain't been back
[00:02:08] But the wheels of fate had started to turn
[00:02:10] And for me there was no way out
[00:02:12] And it wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly
[00:02:14] What my Mama's been talkin' about
[00:02:17] I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow
[00:02:22] That I's gonna be a lady someday
[00:02:24] Though I don't know when or how
[00:02:26] I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
[00:02:28] With my head hung down in shame you know
[00:02:31] I might have been born just plain white trash
[00:02:33] But Fancy was my name
[00:02:35] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:02:40] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:02:47] It wasn't very long after a benevolent man
[00:02:49] Took me off the street
[00:02:51] And one week later I was pourin' his tea
[00:02:54] In a five room hotel suite
[00:02:56] I charmed a king a congressman
[00:02:58] And an occasional aristocrat
[00:03:00] Then I got me a Georgia mansion
[00:03:02] In an elegant New York townhouse flat
[00:03:05] And I ain't done bad
[00:03:15] Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrite
[00:03:16] That would call me bad
[00:03:19] And criticize Mama for turning me out
[00:03:21] No matter how little we had
[00:03:23] But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
[00:03:26] For nigh on fifteen years
[00:03:28] I can still hear the desperation in my poor
[00:03:30] Mama's voice ringin' in my ear
[00:03:32] She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:03:37] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:03:42] Lord forgive me for what I do
[00:03:43] But if you want out well it's up to you
[00:03:46] Now don't let me down
[00:03:47] Your Mama's gonna help you uptown
[00:03:53] I guess she did
