《Pity The Child》歌词

[00:00:00] Pity The Child (From Chess) - Colm Wilkinson

[00:00:02] When I was nine I learned survival

[00:00:06] Taught myself not to care

[00:00:10] I was my single good companion

[00:00:13] Taking my comfort there

[00:00:17] Up in my room I planned my conquests

[00:00:20] On my own never asked for a helping hand

[00:00:26] No one would understand

[00:00:31] I never asked the pair who fought below

[00:00:37] Just in case they said no

[00:00:46] Pity the child who has ambition

[00:00:50] Knows what he wants to do

[00:00:53] Knows that he'll never fit the system

[00:00:57] Others expect him to

[00:01:01] Pity the child who knew his parents

[00:01:05] Saw their faults

[00:01:06] Saw their love die before his eyes

[00:01:10] Pity the child that wise

[00:01:15] He never asked did I cause your distress

[00:01:21] Just in case they said yes

[00:01:26] When I was twelve my father moved out

[00:01:32] Left with a whimper not with a shout

[00:01:38] I didn't miss him he made it perfectly clear

[00:01:44] I was a fool and probably queer

[00:01:49] Fool that I was I thought this would bring

[00:01:55] Those he had left closer together

[00:02:02] She made her move the moment he crawled away

[00:02:07] I was the last the woman told

[00:02:11] She never let her bed get cold

[00:02:15] Someone moved in I shut my door

[00:02:19] Someone to treat her

[00:02:21] Just the same way as before

[00:02:28] I took the road of least resistance

[00:02:31] I had my game to play

[00:02:35] I had the skill and more the hunger

[00:02:38] Easy to get away

[00:02:42] Pity the child with no such weapons

[00:02:45] Do defence no escape from the ties that bind

[00:02:50] Always a step behind

[00:02:56] I never called to tell her all I'd done

[00:03:02] I was only her son

[00:03:30] Pity the child but not forever

[00:03:33] Not if he stays that way

[00:03:37] He can get all he ever wanted

[00:03:40] If he's prepared to pay

[00:03:44] Pity instead the careless mother

[00:03:48] What she missed

[00:03:49] What she lost when she let me go

[00:03:53] And I wonder does she know

[00:03:59] I wouldn't call a crazy thing to do

[00:04:06] Just in case she said who
