《Creation of Man (LP版)》歌词

[00:00:09] The Creation of Man

[00:00:10] Peacocks!

[00:00:10] Sink me!

[00:00:11] Think ye, sir,

[00:00:12] how those feathered boys love to flaunt their tails!

[00:00:15] Stallions!

[00:00:15] Zounds, sir!

[00:00:16] Hounds sir!Stags!

[00:00:17] Of the goosie and the gander, sir

[00:00:19] Which gender is the grander, sir

[00:00:20] To render total candor, sir, the spendour is the male's!

[00:00:37] Be an example to your sex

[00:00:41] Give your boot a dapper strap

[00:00:43] And it's smarter if your garter has some snap!

[00:00:48] Cravats should be flounced about our necks

[00:00:51] Wear a nightcap when you nap

[00:00:54] Be bewitching with some stitching on your cap!

[00:00:57] Now, drape your cape

[00:00:59] And puff your cuff

[00:01:01] Embroider those lapels!

[00:01:02] Be the king of the beasts in pastels!

[00:01:06] La, but someone has to strike a pose

[00:01:11] And bear the weight of well-tailored clothes

[00:01:13] And that is why the Lord created men

[00:01:19] Strut, sir!

[00:01:27] What, sir?

[00:01:35] Roosters do!

[00:01:36] Give a cock his comb and the hens will pale!

[00:01:39] Bucks!Bulls!

[00:01:40] More, sir!

[00:01:40] Boars, sir!Rams!

[00:01:41] Of the nanny goat and billy, sir

[00:01:43] Whose beard is fully wooly, sir?

[00:01:44] It's bully for the billy for he's willy-nilly male!

[00:01:51] Sir, be a lion-hearted prig

[00:01:55] Fill those pantaloons with light!

[00:01:57] I could dangle down a spangle out of sight!

[00:02:01] Oh, yes!Be bold, sir!

[00:02:02] When it's cold, slap on that wig

[00:02:05] Draw your britches in quite tight

[00:02:07] Even more so, and your torso will ignite

[00:02:11] Now, smock your frock

[00:02:12] Perfume your plume

[00:02:14] I'll let my waistcoat swing!

[00:02:16] And the jungle will bow to its king!

[00:02:21] La, but someone has to strike a pose

[00:02:24] And bear the weight of well-tailored clothes

[00:02:27] And that is why the Lord created men

[00:02:30] Gentlemen, remember what we're here for

[00:02:31] Why we must be dressed to kill

[00:02:32] If we have to look like Cleopatra

[00:02:32] Then we will!

[00:02:33] If you're out to make a splash, cheri,

[00:02:35] Do know your haberdashery!

[00:02:35] Buttons, buckles, ruffles and lace

[00:02:37] Represent the human race!

[00:02:38] La, but someone has to strike a pose

[00:02:39] And bear the weight of well-tailored clothes

[00:02:41] Each species needs a sex that's fated

[00:02:43] To be highly decorated

[00:02:44] That is why the Lord created men

[00:02:45] Madame Guillotine: Reprise

[00:02:46] Stick to your purpose

[00:02:46] And don't let the fire burn out

[00:02:47] An eye for an eye

[00:02:48] And to hell with those shadows of doubt

[00:02:49] No one blinds me with tricks and diversion

[00:02:51] No one quickens my heart on the sly

[00:02:52] I am here for one reason

[00:02:53] And all other reasons must die

[00:02:54] The Riddle

[00:02:54] See the moon slink down in the sky, darling

[00:02:55] Let your fantasies fly, darling

[00:02:57] Life is cold, and the game is old

[00:02:59] Just see how virtue repays you

[00:02:59] You turn and someone betrays you

[00:03:03] Betray him first

[00:03:04] And the game's reversed!

[00:03:05] For we all are caught in the middle

[00:03:06] Of one long treacherous riddle

[00:03:07] Can I trust you?Should you trust me too?

[00:03:09] We shamble on through this hell

[00:03:10] Taking on more secrets to sell

[00:03:11] Till there comes a day when we sell our souls away!

[00:03:12] Through the mist your lover is beckoning

[00:03:13] Comes that moment of reckoning

[00:03:14] Faces change, even smiles grow strange

[00:03:16] And we all have so many faces

[00:03:17] The real self often erases

[00:03:18] Enticing lies flicker through our eyes

[00:03:21] Feel the terror draw ever nearer

[00:03:21] The more you stare in the mirror

[00:03:23] But hold your own

[00:03:24] Face the wind alone

[00:03:25] Reel on, love!Toughen your scars

[00:03:26] Year by year we're falling like stars

[00:03:27] Till there comes a day when we well our souls away!

[00:03:29] Can I run to you?Are you true to me?

[00:03:30] I'll do unto you as you do to me!

[00:03:30] And we slowly learn someone has to burn

[00:03:32] Better you than me!

[00:03:33] Oh, every Judas once loved a Jesus

[00:03:34] But finally treason will seize us

[00:03:35] And only fools follow golden rules

[00:03:35] We all are caught in the middle

[00:03:36] Of one long treacherous riddle

[00:03:38] Of who trusts who, maybe I'll trust you

[00:03:39] But can you trust me?

[00:03:41] Wait and see!
