《Nostalgia Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Nostalgia Blues - Simon Joyner

[00:00:34] See you still haven't quit smoking

[00:00:39] Is that really all that you can think to say

[00:00:45] I remember your bedsheets

[00:00:48] Smudged with ashes and burns

[00:00:52] When you stayed up all night reading

[00:00:54] The Brothers K

[00:00:59] I know nostalgia's a Southall waitress

[00:01:04] Saving nickels for a rainy day far removed

[00:01:11] Still I can't ever remember

[00:01:14] Seeing your tongue so tied

[00:01:17] Or your hands shake so loose

[00:01:25] Yes everyone wants to

[00:01:26] Believe their time was special Nick

[00:01:30] See the dish run away with the spoon

[00:01:38] Then they settle down

[00:01:42] They settle in

[00:01:45] And they curse the night for givin'

[00:01:48] Them all those sweet dreams

[00:01:52] All those sweet dreams

[00:01:55] They bartered and sold

[00:01:58] So long ago

[00:02:07] Coachie was wise to get out when he did

[00:02:12] Hitch his pony to an actual star

[00:02:18] You know he's playing the

[00:02:20] Sydney Opera House tonight

[00:02:24] Aren't you'll still sleeping on

[00:02:26] Strangers wooden floors yes

[00:02:32] How'd you get that iceberg way up

[00:02:35] On your shoulder Jim

[00:02:37] Can't we force our old demons into a truce

[00:02:44] No I'm afraid what we did was secret then

[00:02:49] Don't act surprised it now applies to you

[00:02:57] I guess everyone thinks genius is in their blood

[00:03:02] Or least livin' down the street a door or two

[00:03:10] And then they settle down

[00:03:14] They settle in

[00:03:17] They curse the night for punishing them

[00:03:21] With those sweet dreams

[00:03:23] All those sweet dreams that exposed their soul

[00:03:30] So long ago

[00:03:38] Bobby says the translator's nightmare is finding

[00:03:42] All the right words

[00:03:44] But somehow still gettin' the whole story wrong

[00:03:50] And all you guitar poets

[00:03:53] Well you're life's little butchers

[00:03:57] Go ahead and put that one in your song

[00:04:03] You've got endless tales of love gone bad

[00:04:09] I guess our Romeo is really cursed

[00:04:16] You poke your nose in everyone's dirty clothes

[00:04:21] So you can turn them into your light loose verse

[00:04:28] Well my life isn't neat rhymes and punchlines

[00:04:34] Cheap laughs and your talking blues

[00:04:41] And I wish that for just one time

[00:04:46] You could stand inside my shoes

[00:04:53] You could settle down

[00:04:57] You could settle in

[00:05:00] You could curse the night for givin' you

[00:05:03] All those sweet dreams

[00:05:06] All those sweet dreams I watched corrode

[00:05:12] So long ago

[00:05:21] Well it's easy to get hung up

[00:05:26] On all the things that you'll never have

[00:05:34] A backyard pool your mother's love

[00:05:39] John Lennon's autograph

[00:05:46] Some people step into an ambulance

[00:05:51] While others slip into a trance

[00:05:58] I've heard the sky blooms Picassos though

[00:06:04] If you stop and give the clouds half a chance

[00:06:11] But I won't go to your funeral Sue

[00:06:16] But I've got a couch if you ever need a place to crash

[00:06:25] We could settle down

[00:06:29] We could settle in

[00:06:32] We could thank the night for givin' us

[00:06:35] All those sweet dreams

[00:06:38] All those sweet dreams

[00:06:40] Like swords pulled from stones

[00:06:44] While we filled our notebooks with grass

[00:06:48] Branch and bone

[00:06:50] Aw here's to the sweet dreams

[00:06:54] Wouldn't leave us alone

[00:06:57] So long ago
