《Tramp the Dirt Down》歌词

[00:00:00] Tramp The Dirt Down - Elvis Costello
[00:00:14] I saw a newspaper picture
[00:00:19] From the political campaign
[00:00:24] A woman was kissing a child
[00:00:29] Who was obviously in pain
[00:00:34] She spills with compassion
[00:00:39] As that young child's
[00:00:41] Face in her hands she grips
[00:00:44] Can you imagine all that greed and avarice
[00:00:51] Coming down on that child's lips
[00:00:56] Well I hope I don't die too soon
[00:01:02] I pray the Lord my soul to save
[00:01:06] Yes I'll be a good boy
[00:01:12] I'm trying so hard to behave
[00:01:17] Because there's one thing I know
[00:01:21] I'd like to live
[00:01:23] Long enough to savour
[00:01:27] That's when they finally put you in the ground
[00:01:38] I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down
[00:01:53] When England was the whore of the world
[00:01:57] Margaret was her madam
[00:02:03] And the future looked as bright and as clear as
[00:02:07] The black tarmacadam
[00:02:13] Well I hope that she sleeps well at night isn't
[00:02:18] Haunted by every tiny detail
[00:02:23] When she held that lovely face in her hands
[00:02:27] All she thought of was betrayal
[00:02:43] And now the cynical ones say
[00:02:48] That it all ends the same in the long run
[00:02:53] Try telling that to the desperate father
[00:02:58] Who just squeezed the life from his
[00:03:02] Only son
[00:03:04] And how it's only voices in your head
[00:03:10] And dreams you never dreamt
[00:03:14] Try telling him the subtle difference
[00:03:19] Between justice and contempt
[00:03:24] Try telling me she isn't angry with
[00:03:29] This pitiful discontent
[00:03:34] When they flaunt it in your face as
[00:03:39] You line up for punishment
[00:03:44] And then expect you to say Thank you straighten up
[00:03:51] Look proud and pleased
[00:03:54] Because you've only got the symptoms
[00:03:59] You haven't got the whole disease
[00:04:04] Just like a schoolboy
[00:04:06] Whose head's like a tin-can filled up with dreams
[00:04:11] Then poured down the drain
[00:04:14] Try telling that to the boys on both sides
[00:04:19] Being blown to bits or beaten and
[00:04:23] Maimed
[00:04:25] Who takes all the glory and none of the shame
[00:04:36] Well I hope you live long now
[00:04:42] I pray the Lord your soul to keep
[00:04:47] I think I'll be going before
[00:04:52] We fold our arms and start to weep
[00:04:57] I never thought for a moment
[00:05:02] That human life could be so cheap
[00:05:08] When they finally put you in the ground
[00:05:18] They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down
