《Red Cotton(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Red Cotton (红棉) (Album Version) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
[00:00:15] I'm cutting up her pure white dress
[00:00:23] That I dyed red
[00:00:26] That I dyed red
[00:00:30] I'm putting scraps in cheap tin lockets
[00:00:38] What time erases and memory mocks
[00:00:45] I'll send them over the ocean foam
[00:00:53] Right into those gentle European homes
[00:01:07] The slave ship "Blessing" slipped from Liverpool
[00:01:14] Over the waves the Royal Navy rules
[00:01:21] To go and plunder the Kingdom of Benin
[00:01:27] Where certain history ends and shame begins
[00:01:35] Dahomey traders paid in powder and shot
[00:01:41] Line up their prisoners and they sell them in lots
[00:01:48] They packed them tight inside those coffin ships
[00:01:54] And took them to the brand new world of
[00:01:58] Auction blocks and whips
[00:02:02] I'm cutting up her pure white dress
[00:02:10] That I dyed red
[00:02:14] That I dyed red
[00:02:17] I'm putting scraps in cheap tin lockets
[00:02:24] What time erases and memory mocks
[00:02:32] I'll send them over the ocean foam
[00:02:40] Right into those gentle European homes
[00:02:50] White is the sheet on your fine linen bed
[00:02:57] The blood stained red on each cotton thread
[00:03:04] Merchants will gather at St George's Hall
[00:03:09] To unveil the kneeling slave who is carved upon the wall
[00:03:19] So picture the scene on the Old Salt House docks
[00:03:26] Where they loaded the iron shackles and locks
[00:03:32] Between a sandstone crocodile a barrel and a bale
[00:03:39] You will see the nameless faces they were offering for sale
[00:03:50] So I sing the praises of God's glory
[00:03:58] As a blue cetacean floats in the basement
[00:04:05] An elephant on the second storey
[00:04:12] They queue all day to see him
[00:04:16] In my American Museum
[00:04:25] But the Lord will judge us with fire and thunder
[00:04:32] As man continues in all his blunders
[00:04:39] It's only money
[00:04:42] It's only numbers
[00:04:46] Maybe it is time to put aside these fictitious wonders
[00:04:59] But man is feeble
[00:05:03] Man is puny
[00:05:07] And if it should divide the Union
[00:05:15] There is no man that should own another
[00:05:22] When he can't even recognise his sister and his brother
