《William Shatner’s Dog(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] William Shatner's Dog -Stephen Fretwell

[00:00:29] I walk by the water and

[00:00:31] Head for your house

[00:00:34] Though I know that you'll be out

[00:00:38] In some dirty city bar

[00:00:46] I stand on your street

[00:00:48] And I stare at your room

[00:00:51] And the shadows play and move

[00:00:55] And your brother comes out with a bat

[00:01:01] Saying that

[00:01:06] You might be with your sister in Paris

[00:01:11] On the Rue Turnau

[00:01:14] Wearing Marline Dietrich glasses

[00:01:20] Where we made that bet

[00:01:23] That bet I knew you'd win for sure

[00:01:30] When you where sick on the floor

[00:01:37] The calico's ripped

[00:01:38] Beneath the patch

[00:01:41] It's an itch I can never scratch

[00:01:45] Now it's so far gone in the past

[00:01:53] The fines I'm

[00:01:54] Having trouble to contest

[00:01:58] With the library book you kept

[00:02:02] The one that sent your head so far west

[00:02:09] Far far away

[00:02:12] In those continental cities

[00:02:18] Where they get in a race

[00:02:21] To see who can build the tallest buildings

[00:02:26] Where you went for some space

[00:02:29] And wound up

[00:02:31] With a slightly redder face

[00:02:37] And a pain in your gut

[00:02:45] I turn on the TV

[00:02:47] And I see there your face

[00:02:50] And in it is not one trace

[00:02:54] Of that old brown bowl of lace

[00:03:02] And that bowl of lace

[00:03:05] Is sat beside the gas bar fire

[00:03:10] Where you probably laid

[00:03:13] Eating ice cream chocolate lollies

[00:03:18] That your mother brought home

[00:03:21] From the freezer store

[00:03:25] On the Old Kent Road

[00:03:29] She too had enough

[00:03:34] And that look on your face

[00:03:37] That you'd throw across the dinner table

[00:03:43] In the middle of grace

[00:03:46] Your fathers eyes closed shut tight

[00:03:51] And it happend like that

[00:03:54] Every damn night

[00:03:58] That I had to come

[00:04:02] To your house

[00:04:08] Well tell Charles O'Keefe

[00:04:11] That I don't want to go to Paris

[00:04:16] It's sunnier here

[00:04:19] And I'm happy in this loveless marriage

[00:04:25] With the girl from the Pru

[00:04:28] And your father and your sister

[00:04:31] And your mother too

[00:04:35] And not forgetting you
