《The Card Cheat》歌词

[00:00:00] The Card Cheat - The Clash

[00:00:28] There's a solitary man crying "Hold me "

[00:00:32] It's only because he's a-lonely

[00:00:35] If the keeper of time runs slowly

[00:00:38] He won't be alive for long

[00:00:42] If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned

[00:00:48] With a card up his sleeve what would he achieve

[00:00:53] It means nothing

[00:00:55] To the opium den and the barroom gin

[00:00:59] In the Belmont chair playing violins

[00:01:02] The gambler's face cracks into a grin

[00:01:05] As he lays down the king of spades

[00:01:09] But the dealer just stares

[00:01:11] There's something wrong here he thinks

[00:01:16] The gambler is seized and forced to his knees

[00:01:19] And shot dead

[00:01:35] He only wanted more time

[00:01:38] Away from the darkest door

[00:01:42] But his luck it gave in

[00:01:44] As the dawn light crept in

[00:01:46] And he lay on the floor

[00:01:49] From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea

[00:01:52] With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear

[00:01:56] To all of the men who have stood with no fear

[00:01:59] In the service of the King

[00:02:02] Before you met your fate be sure you

[00:02:06] Did not forsake your lover

[00:02:12] May not be around anymore

[00:02:44] There's a solitary man crying "Hold me "

[00:02:46] It's only because he's a-lonely

[00:02:49] If the keeper of time runs slowly

[00:02:52] He won't be alive for long
