《Spirit of ’76》歌词

[00:00:01] Spirit Of 76 (Live) - The Alarm

[00:00:58] Well I find myself in reverie

[00:01:02] Bout what we might have had

[00:01:05] And what might have been

[00:01:08] We had something goin' once

[00:01:11] That was such a long long time ago

[00:01:17] It was way back in 76

[00:01:22] Our friendship formed of pure innocence

[00:01:27] We first met in Mathew Street

[00:01:31] Where we heard something that would set us free

[00:01:37] A sign stands over a door it says

[00:01:42] Four lads who shook the world

[00:01:47] In the depths of those heady nights

[00:01:52] We would dream of those bright lights

[00:01:57] Oh my friend Oh my friend Oh my friend

[00:02:49] And my friend John

[00:02:51] He went away

[00:02:53] He made some mistakes

[00:02:55] Spent time in Walton jail

[00:02:57] And now when I see him we still talk

[00:03:00] But there's no light shinin' in his eyes

[00:03:04] And Susie she was seventeen

[00:03:07] And more beauty in this world

[00:03:10] I swear you'll never see

[00:03:12] I was gonna be king

[00:03:13] And she was gonna be queen

[00:03:15] But now all she does is hide behind the tears

[00:03:20] If there was more sense in this world

[00:03:23] And work wasn't so hard to find

[00:03:27] You would not be goin' your way

[00:03:30] I would not be goin' mine

[00:03:34] Oh my friend Oh my friend Oh my friend

[00:03:38] Somewhere tonight out on the street

[00:03:42] Somewhere beneath this city's heat

[00:03:45] In the eyes of strangers who pass me by

[00:03:49] Life is cruel and so unkind

[00:03:53] Oh the SPIRIT OF 76

[00:04:23] And Pete has seen his dreams come true

[00:04:27] But that don't make him no hero

[00:04:29] He's just one of the lucky few

[00:04:31] If a man can't change the world these days

[00:04:34] I still believe a man can change his own destiny

[00:04:38] But the price is high that has got to be paid

[00:04:42] For everyone who survives there are many who fail

[00:04:45] I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire

[00:04:49] All their dreams and hopes smashed

[00:04:51] On the funeral pyre

[00:04:53] I will never give in until the day I die

[00:05:01] Get myself some independence

[00:05:04] Carve out a future with my two bare hands

[00:05:08] Oh my friend Oh my friend Oh my friend

[00:05:12] Somewhere tonight out on the street

[00:05:15] Somewhere beneath this city's heat

[00:05:19] In the eyes of strangers who pass me by

[00:05:23] Life is cruel and so unkind

[00:05:26] Oh the SPIRIT OF 76

[00:05:55] Mersey lights shine in the distance

[00:06:00] Same as they did for us then

[00:06:05] Mersey lights shine bright in the distance

[00:06:09] Where are you now my friend

[00:06:13] You see some nights when I can't sleep

[00:06:17] I still think of you

[00:06:22] And all the promises

[00:06:25] All our dreams we shared

[00:06:32] I know those lights still call to you

[00:06:47] I can hear them now

[00:06:51] I can hear them now

[00:06:59] Still shinin' for us

[00:07:02] Let them shine

[00:07:06] Let them shine

[00:07:33] Lights are still shinin'

[00:07:35] Somewhere tonight out on the street

[00:07:39] Somewhere beneath this city's heat

[00:07:43] In the eyes of strangers who pass me by

[00:07:46] Life is cruel and so unkind

[00:07:50] Oh Oh oh oh

[00:08:08] This is the SPIRIT OF 76
