《The Lake District》歌词

[00:00:16] From the banister I can see you

[00:00:20] Cough and blast rainbows

[00:00:31] 27 summers press against the powder room windows

[00:00:39] On returning eyes are learning the language of your wrists

[00:01:01] You twist them towards the chandeliers and say 'who will be my witness '

[00:01:15] On a beaded rug on Jerusalem Hill watching the trawlers roll in

[00:01:27] Let's start at the beginning the drunk shouts who your tailor on the preference

[00:01:38] Of a power failure slashing out its darkness

[00:01:46] The steeple riggers round the spire scramble

[00:01:53] For holy work lights on great hooks hanging

[00:02:01] You straighten your quiff and mimic a stiff

[00:02:05] The jury's back and it's a crushing blow

[00:02:09] To those who wish you ill and woe

[00:02:14] You are the Lake District

[00:02:22] You don't need to speak

[00:02:25] Writes in the air and chalk

[00:02:28] Like sub titles walk across a foreign film screen

[00:02:40] From the landing I can hear your hay bale laughter singing

[00:02:54] It breaks the white horse hearts of all those assembling

[00:03:08] To be an ornament that sparkles

[00:03:14] It's clear those here would kill

[00:03:23] But there's nowhere to hide if you become a city on the hill

[00:03:40] On a beated road on Jerusalem hill watching the trollops roll in

[00:03:49] Let's start at the beginning in a dingy parlour by lanterns swinging

[00:03:59] But the ancient caverns of your eyes welling

[00:04:07] The tale of Russian head scarf landing

[00:04:14] On your collar bone from your blouse protruding

[00:04:22] You tighten your belt so it's closer felt

[00:04:26] The jury's back and it's a crushing blow

[00:04:29] For those who wish your ill and wall

[00:04:34] You are the Lake District

[00:04:42] Marry me

[00:04:45] In a registry

[00:04:48] Like a foreign film scene

[00:04:59] Let others publish our thoughts

[00:05:06] Take my hand and we will waltz

[00:05:13] Below the cathedral volts

[00:05:18] Spinning like a foreign film reel
