《The Band Played Waltzing Matilda》歌词

[00:04:52] The Band Played Waltzing Matilda - The Pogues
[00:04:52] When I was a young man I carried my pack
[00:04:52] And I lived the free life of a rover
[00:04:52] From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback
[00:04:52] I waltzed my Matilda all over
[00:04:52] Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son
[00:04:52] It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be
[00:04:52] done
[00:04:52] So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
[00:04:52] And they sent me away to the war
[00:04:52] And the band played Waltzing Matilda
[00:04:52] As we sailed away from the quay
[00:04:52] And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the
[00:04:52] cheers
[00:04:52] We sailed off to Gallipoli
[00:04:52] How well I remember that terrible day
[00:04:52] When the blood stained the sand and the water
[00:04:52] And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay
[00:04:52] We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
[00:04:52] Johnny Turk he was ready, he primed himself well
[00:04:52] He showered us with bullets, he rained us with
[00:04:52] shells
[00:04:52] And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell
[00:04:52] Nearly blew us right back to Australia
[00:04:52] But the band played Waltzing Matilda
[00:04:52] As we stopped to bury our slain
[00:04:52] And we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
[00:04:52] Then it started all over again
[00:04:52] Now those who were living did their best to survive
[00:04:52] In that mad world of blood, death and fire
[00:04:52] And for seven long weeks I kept myself alive
[00:04:52] While the corpses around me piled higher
[00:04:52] Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit
[00:04:52] And when I woke up in my hospital bed
[00:04:52] And saw what it had done, Christ I wished I was
[00:04:52] dead
[00:04:52] Never knew there were worse things than dying
[00:04:52] And no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
[00:04:52] To the green bushes so far and near
[00:04:52] For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs
[00:04:52] No more waltzing Matilda for me
[00:04:52] So they collected the cripples, the wounded and
[00:04:52] maimed
[00:04:52] And they shipped us back home to Australia
[00:04:52] The legless, the armless, the blind and insane
[00:04:52] Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
[00:04:52] And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay
[00:04:52] I looked at the place where me legs used to be
[00:04:52] And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me
[00:04:52] To grieve and to mourn and to pity
[00:04:52] And the band played Waltzing Matilda
[00:04:52] As they carried us down the gangway
[00:04:52] But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared
[00:04:52] And they turned all their faces away
[00:04:52] And now every April I sit on my porch
[00:04:52] And I watch the parade pass before me
[00:04:52] I see my old comrades, how proudly they march
[00:04:52] Reliving the or their dreams of past glory
[00:04:52] I see the old men, all twisted and torn
[00:04:52] The forgotten heroes of a forgotten war
[00:04:52] And the young people ask me, What are they
[00:04:52] marching for?
[00:04:52] And I ask myself the same question
[00:04:52] And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
[00:04:52] And the old men still answer to the call
[00:04:52] But year after year their numbers get fewer
[00:04:52] Some day no one will march there at all
[00:04:52] Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
[00:04:52] Who'll go a-waltzing Matilda with me?
