《Can’t Weld a Body》歌词

[00:00:00] Can't Weld A Body(Preview Track) - Karine Polwart

[00:00:13] You crafted and caressed her with a careful hand

[00:00:20] But the lady didn't understand

[00:00:26] And you riveted and plated her till morning

[00:00:33] But with a coil or a careless spark

[00:00:37] Or a tumble in the dark

[00:00:40] Shell leave her mark upon you without warning

[00:00:46] You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean

[00:00:53] You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil

[00:01:01] But you can't weld a body when it's broken no

[00:01:15] While the lady she's as fair as Desdemona

[00:01:21] She swallowed you up just like Jonah

[00:01:28] And there the air inside her belly ailed you

[00:01:35] And no-one saw you fall

[00:01:38] And they did not hear your call

[00:01:42] And your breath it faltered just before it failed you

[00:01:48] You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean

[00:01:55] You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil

[00:02:03] But you can't weld a body when it's broken no

[00:02:23] On a cruiser that was fitted by your father

[00:02:30] You anchored in San Carlos harbour

[00:02:37] But the lady at the helm she was not for turning

[00:02:44] And in your bell bottoms blue

[00:02:47] In April 82

[00:02:51] You bid adieu and watched all you knew burning

[00:02:57] You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean

[00:03:04] You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil

[00:03:12] But you can't weld a body when it's broken

[00:03:18] You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean

[00:03:25] You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil

[00:03:32] But you can't weld a body when it's broke no no
