《Hyde Park Calling (King William Road， Scene 1)》歌词

[00:00:00] Hyde Park Calling (King William Road Scene 1) - John Schumann

[00:00:12] The trees have repossessed their leaves

[00:00:15] The clouds are all rinsed clean

[00:00:19] Smug success

[00:00:20] Upon the breeze

[00:00:22] The vines are running green

[00:00:26] Like ladies in waiting

[00:00:28] To a fashion queen

[00:00:30] Behind mascara eyes

[00:00:33] The eastern suburb mums drift in

[00:00:36] Coffee cake and lies

[00:00:40] And as the morning rolls to midday

[00:00:44] Vain impressions grow

[00:00:49] The only world they care about

[00:00:52] Is on King William Road

[00:00:56] She's got polaroids

[00:00:57] Of the refugees

[00:01:00] Shows them all around

[00:01:03] Tries to make them understand

[00:01:06] They won't hear a sound

[00:01:10] And on the grass strip

[00:01:11] Outside the factory gate

[00:01:13] They're queuing up

[00:01:15] Along the fence

[00:01:17] Bankers meet their lawyers

[00:01:20] Making ready their defense

[00:01:25] And the blinds go down

[00:01:26] You can hear the sound

[00:01:28] Shredding machines down low

[00:01:32] And you listen

[00:01:34] You can hear them grinding

[00:01:36] From King William Road

[00:02:07] And we can barely see the track

[00:02:10] We've been squinting in the sun

[00:02:14] The windshield holds

[00:02:15] The country out

[00:02:17] We never quite belonged

[00:02:22] Past is hard to understand

[00:02:25] Future's hard to guess

[00:02:28] Still the wrong things prosper

[00:02:31] And they blame you for the mess

[00:02:36] But if you play politely

[00:02:39] You'll get a medal that you can show

[00:02:44] To all the other people who've toed the line

[00:02:47] Down on King William Road

[00:02:55] Conspiracy silence now

[00:02:58] And it's whispered on the wind

[00:03:01] You can bang it on the door and scream

[00:03:05] But they you back in

[00:03:09] In a FM world of heartbreak

[00:03:12] It's hard to get your message through

[00:03:15] If only you'd aimed at the sitting ducks

[00:03:19] And not at the ones that flew

[00:03:23] They don't like your accent now

[00:03:26] You're a prisoner of what you know

[00:03:31] 'Cause you might let their secrets out

[00:03:34] Down on King William Road

[00:03:51] And they opened up the gates

[00:03:54] Government house

[00:03:55] And let some people in

[00:03:58] To wander through those gracious rooms

[00:04:01] And sing god save the queen

[00:04:06] And in the still life garden afternoon

[00:04:09] The same old deals are going down

[00:04:12] It's hard to get the numbers up

[00:04:15] On the bankrupt side of town

[00:04:20] And the people who weren't invited

[00:04:23] They didn't even know

[00:04:28] So they spent the evening

[00:04:30] Running up and down

[00:04:32] King William Road

[00:04:36] And you can take your imported sports car

[00:04:40] Drive it real slow

[00:04:44] And all your friends

[00:04:45] Will see you there

[00:04:47] Down on King William Road
