《Thick as a Brick (Edit #4)》歌词

[00:03:28] Album by: Thick As A Brick
[00:03:28] Artist by: Jethro Tull
[00:03:28] Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
[00:03:28] My words but a whisper -- your deafness a shout.
[00:03:28] I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
[00:03:28] Your sperms in the gutter -- your loves in the sink.
[00:03:28] So you ride yourselves over the fields and
[00:03:28] You make all your animal deals and
[00:03:28] Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
[00:03:28] And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
[00:03:28] The tidal destruction
[00:03:28] The moral melee.
[00:03:28] The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
[00:03:28] The newfangled way.
[00:03:28] But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
[00:03:28] Your suntan does rapidly peel and
[00:03:28] Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
[00:03:28] And the love that I feel is so far away:
[00:03:28] I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- and you
[00:03:28] Shake your head and
[00:03:28] Say its a shame.
[00:03:28] Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.
[00:03:28] Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth.
[00:03:28] Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.
[00:03:28] See there! a son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight.
[00:03:28] There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night.
[00:03:28] Well
[00:03:28] Make a man of him
[00:03:28] Put him to trade
[00:03:28] Teach him
[00:03:28] To play monopoly and
[00:03:28] To sing in the rain.
[00:03:28] The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water --
[00:03:28] As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea.
[00:03:28] The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other --
[00:03:28] As the failing light illuminates the mercenarys creed.
[00:03:28] The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling --
[00:03:28] But the master of the house is far away.
[00:03:28] The horses stamping -- their warm breath clouding
[00:03:28] In the sharp and frosty morning of the day.
[00:03:28] And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword.
[00:03:28] And the youngest of the family is moving with authority.
[00:03:28] Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside.
[00:03:28] The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river
[00:03:28] Where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea:
[00:03:28] The builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose
[00:03:28] And contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need.
[00:03:28] The young men of the household have
[00:03:28] All gone into service and
[00:03:28] Are not to be expected for a year.
[00:03:28] The innocent young master -- thoughts moving ever faster --
[00:03:28] Has formed the plan to change the man he seems.
[00:03:28] And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword.
[00:03:28] And the oldest of the family is moving with authority.
[00:03:28] Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son who puts him to the run.
[00:03:28] What do you do when
[00:03:28] The old mans gone -- do you want to be him? and
[00:03:28] Your real self sings the song.
[00:03:28] Do you want to free him?
[00:03:28] No one to help you get up steam --
[00:03:28] And the whirlpool turns you 锛噖ay off-beam.
[00:03:28] Later.
[00:03:28] I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways.
[00:03:28] My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed.
[00:03:28] So come on all you criminals!
[00:03:28] I've got to put you straight just like I did with my old man --
[00:03:28] Twenty years too late.
[00:03:28] Your bread and waters going cold.
[00:03:28] Your hair is too short and neat.
[00:03:28] Ill judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me.
[00:03:28] You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone -- you meet the stares.
[00:03:28] You're unaware that your doings arent done.
[00:03:28] And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be.
[00:03:28] But how are we supposed to see where we should run?
[00:03:28] I see you shuffle in the courtroom with
[00:03:28] Your rings upon your fingers and
[00:03:28] Your downy little sidies and
[00:03:28] Your silver-buckle shoes.
[00:03:28] Playing at the hard case, you follow the example of the comic-paper idol
[00:03:28] Who lets you bend the rules.
[00:03:28] So!
[00:03:28] Come on ye childhood heroes!
[00:03:28] Won't you rise up from the pages of your comic-books
[00:03:28] Your super crooks
[00:03:28] And show us all the way.
[00:03:28] Well! make your will and testament. won't you?
[00:03:28] Join your local government.
[00:03:28] Well have superman for president
[00:03:28] Let robin save the day.
[00:03:28] You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time.
[00:03:28] The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line.
[00:03:28] And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are --
[00:03:28] And take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars.
[00:03:28] And you wonder who to call on.
[00:03:28] So! where the hell was biggles when you needed him last saturday?
[00:03:28] And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
[00:03:28] Theyre all resting down in cornwall --
[00:03:28] Writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition
[00:03:28] Of the boy scout manual.
[00:03:28] Later.
[00:03:28] See there! a man born -- and we pronounce him fit for peace.
[00:03:28] Theres a load lifted from his shoulders with the discovery of his disease.
[00:03:28] Well
[00:03:28] Take the child from him
[00:03:28] Put it to the test
[00:03:28] Teach it
[00:03:28] To be a wise man
[00:03:28] How to fool the rest.
[00:03:28] Quote
[00:03:28] We will be geared to the average rather than the exceptional
[00:03:28] God is an overwhelming responsibility
[00:03:28] We walked through the maternity ward and saw 218 babies wearing nylons
[00:03:28] Cats are on the upgrade
[00:03:28] Upgrade? hipgrave. oh, mac.
[00:03:28] Later
[00:03:28] In the clear white circles of morning wonder,
[00:03:28] I take my place with the lord of the hills.
[00:03:28] And the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloured (in neat little rows)
[00:03:28] Sporting canvas frills.
[00:03:28] With their jock-straps pinching, they slouch to attention,
[00:03:28] While queueing for sarnies at the office canteen.
[00:03:28] Saying -- hows your granny and
[00:03:28] Good old ernie: he coughed up a tenner on a premium bond win.
[00:03:28] The legends (worded in the ancient tribal hymn) lie cradled
[00:03:28] In the seagulls call.
[00:03:28] And all the promises they made are ground beneath the sadists fall.
[00:03:28] The poet and the wise man stand behind the gun,
[00:03:28] And signal for the crack of dawn.
[00:03:28] Light the sun.
[00:03:28] Do you believe in the day? do you?
[00:03:28] Believe in the day! the dawn creation of the kings has begun.
[00:03:28] Soft venus (lonely maiden) brings the ageless one.
[00:03:28] Do you believe in the day?
[00:03:28] The fading hero has returned to the night -- and fully pregnant with the day,
[00:03:28] Wise men endorse the poets sight.
[00:03:28] Do you believe in the day? do you? believe in the day!
[00:03:28] Let me tell you the tales of your life of
[00:03:28] Your love and the cut of the knife
[00:03:28] The tireless oppression
[00:03:28] The wisdom instilled
[00:03:28] The desire to kill or be killed.
[00:03:28] Let me sing of the losers who lie in the street as the last bus goes by.
[00:03:28] The pavements ar empty: the gutters run red -- while the fool
[00:03:28] Toasts his God in the sky.
[00:03:28] So come all ye young men who are building castles!
[00:03:28] Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus.
[00:03:28] Mark the precise nature of your fear.
[00:03:28] Let me help you pick up your dead as the sins of the father are fed
[00:03:28] With
[00:03:28] The blood of the fools and
[00:03:28] The thoughts of the wise and
[00:03:28] From the pan under your bed.
[00:03:28] Let me make you a present of song as
[00:03:28] The wise man breaks wind and is gone while
[00:03:28] The fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and
[00:03:28] The nursery rhyme winds along.
[00:03:28] So! come all ye young men who are building castles!
[00:03:28] Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus.
[00:03:28] Mark the precise nature of your fear.
[00:03:28] See! the summer lightning casts its bolts upon you
[00:03:28] And the hour of judgement draweth near.
[00:03:28] Would you be
[00:03:28] The fool stood in his suit of armour or
[00:03:28] The wiser man who rushes clear.
[00:03:28] So! come on ye childhood heroes!
[00:03:28] Won't your rise up from the pages of your comic-books
[00:03:28] Your super-crooks and
[00:03:28] Show us all the way.
[00:03:28] Well! make your will and testament.
[00:03:28] Won't you? join your local government.
[00:03:28] Well have superman for president
[00:03:28] Let robin save the day.
[00:03:28] So! where the hell was biggles when you needed him last saturday?
[00:03:28] And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you through?
[00:03:28] Theyre all resting down in cornwall -- writing up their memoirs
[00:03:28] For a paper-back edition of the boy scout manual.
[00:03:28] Of course
[00:03:28] So you ride yourselves over the fields and
[00:03:28] You make all your animal deals and
[00:03:28] Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
