《Bitter Fingers》歌词

[00:00:00] Bitter Fingers - Elton John (艾尔顿·约翰)

[00:00:15] I'm going on the circuit

[00:00:18] I'm doing all the clubs

[00:00:22] And I really need a song boys

[00:00:25] To stir those workers up

[00:00:29] And get their wives to sing it

[00:00:31] With me just like in the pubs

[00:00:37] When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney

[00:00:44] Oh could you knock a line

[00:00:46] Or two together for a friend

[00:00:52] Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end

[00:01:00] And we need a tune

[00:01:01] To open our season at Southend

[00:01:07] Can you help us

[00:01:12] It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers

[00:01:18] So much to prove so few to tell you why

[00:01:21] Those old die-hards

[00:01:22] In Denmark Street start laughing

[00:01:24] At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes

[00:01:28] It seems to me a change is really needed

[00:01:32] I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das

[00:01:36] No more long days hacking hunks of garbage

[00:01:39] Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars

[00:01:42] Swinging stars

[00:01:59] I like the warm blue flame

[00:02:03] The hazy heat it brings

[00:02:06] It loosens up the muscles

[00:02:09] And forces you to sing

[00:02:13] You know it's just another hit and run

[00:02:16] From the tin pan alley twins

[00:02:21] And there's a chance

[00:02:21] That one day you might write a standard lads

[00:02:27] So churn them out quick and fast

[00:02:31] And we'll still pat your backs

[00:02:35] `Cause we need what we can get to launch

[00:02:39] Another dozen acts

[00:02:42] Are you working

[00:02:49] It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers

[00:02:53] So much to prove so few to tell you why

[00:02:56] Those old die-hards

[00:02:58] In Denmark Street start laughing

[00:03:00] At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes

[00:03:03] It seems to me a change is really needed

[00:03:07] I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das

[00:03:11] No more long days hacking hunks of garbage

[00:03:14] Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars

[00:03:17] Swinging stars

[00:03:20] It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers

[00:03:23] So much to prove so few to tell you why

[00:03:27] Those old die-hards

[00:03:28] In Denmark Street start laughing

[00:03:30] At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes

[00:03:34] It seems to me a change is really needed

[00:03:37] I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das

[00:03:41] No more long days hacking hunks of garbage

[00:03:44] Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars

[00:03:48] Swinging stars
