《The Band Played Waltzing Matilda》歌词

[00:00:01] The Band Played Waltzing Matilda - The Pogues
[00:00:10] When I was a young man
[00:00:13] I carried my pack
[00:00:16] And I lived the free life of a rover
[00:00:23] From the Murrays green
[00:00:25] Basin to the dusty outback
[00:00:30] I waltzed my Matilda all over
[00:00:37] Then in nineteen fifteen
[00:00:40] My country said Son
[00:00:44] It's time to stop rambling
[00:00:47] 'Cause there's work to be done
[00:00:50] So they gave me a tin hat
[00:00:54] And they gave me a gun
[00:00:57] They And sent me away to the war
[00:01:04] And the band played Waltzing Matilda
[00:01:11] As we sailed away from the quay
[00:01:17] And amidst all the tears
[00:01:21] And the shouts and the cheers
[00:01:25] We sailed off to Gallipoli
[00:01:31] How well I remember that terrible day
[00:01:38] The the blood stained the sand
[00:01:41] And the water
[00:01:45] And how in that hell
[00:01:48] That they called Suvla Bay
[00:01:52] We were butchered like
[00:01:53] Lambs at the slaughter
[00:01:59] Johnny Turk he was ready
[00:02:02] He primed himself well
[00:02:06] He chased us with bullets
[00:02:09] And he rained us with shells
[00:02:13] And in five minutes flat
[00:02:16] He'd blown us all to hell
[00:02:19] Nearly blew us
[00:02:21] Right back to Australia
[00:02:26] But the band played Waltzing Matilda
[00:02:34] As we stopped to bury our slain
[00:02:40] And we buried ours
[00:02:44] And the Turks buried theirs
[00:02:47] Then we started all over again
[00:02:54] Now those that were left
[00:02:57] Well we tried to survive
[00:03:01] In a mad world of blood
[00:03:05] Death and fire
[00:03:08] And for seven long weeks
[00:03:12] I kept myself alive
[00:03:15] While the corpses around
[00:03:17] Me piled higher
[00:03:22] Then a big Turkish shell
[00:03:25] Knocked me arse over tit
[00:03:29] And when I woke up
[00:03:32] In my hospital bed
[00:03:35] And saw what it had done
[00:03:39] Christ I wished I was dead
[00:03:42] Never knew there were worse
[00:03:45] Things than dying
[00:03:49] And no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
[00:03:56] To the green bushes so far and near
[00:04:03] For to hump tent and pegs
[00:04:07] A man needs two legs
[00:04:10] No more waltzing Matilda for me
[00:04:50] So they collected the cripples
[00:04:54] The wounded the maimed
[00:04:57] And they shipped us
[00:04:58] Back home to Australia
[00:05:04] The legless the armless
[00:05:07] The blind the insane
[00:05:11] Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
[00:05:17] And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay
[00:05:24] I looked at the place
[00:05:27] Where me legs used to be
[00:05:31] And thank Christ
[00:05:32] There was nobody waiting for me
[00:05:38] To grieve and to mourn and to pity
[00:05:45] And the band played Waltzing Matilda
[00:05:51] As they carried us down the gangway
[00:05:58] But nobody cheered
[00:06:02] They just stood and stared
[00:06:05] Then turned all their faces away
[00:06:12] And now every April I sit on my porch
[00:06:19] And I watch the parade pass before me
[00:06:26] And I see my old comrades
[00:06:29] How proudly they march
[00:06:33] Reliving their dreams of past glory
[00:06:39] I see the old men all twisted and torn
[00:06:47] The forgotten heroes of a forgotten war
[00:06:53] And the young people ask me
[00:06:56] What are they Marching for
[00:07:00] And I ask myself the same question
[00:07:07] And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
[00:07:14] And the old men still answer to the call
[00:07:21] But year after year
[00:07:24] Their numbers get fewer
[00:07:27] Some day no one will march there at all
[00:07:35] Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
[00:07:41] Who'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
