《Did She Scare All Your Friends Away》歌词

[00:00:00] Did She Scare All Your Friends Away - Gareth Liddiard

[00:00:48] And Anna was a beauty in her youth

[00:00:54] She had long black hair and looked a lot more like you

[00:00:57] Than you think you do

[00:01:02] I knew her mother well

[00:01:13] Her lead light eyes were lovely coal smoke blue as well

[00:01:19] But I knew her father too

[00:01:28] And I viewed life like a bedroom

[00:01:30] Through a keyhole on a door

[00:01:32] While he saw it like a pantry through a window on a wall

[00:01:37] We never got on well were never friends at all

[00:01:41] And I was just a barnacle that clung on through it all

[00:01:45] He was a small time politician

[00:01:48] Or a tele prompter's charge trying to

[00:01:50] Bury a misdeed from way back when

[00:01:52] And so he lined all of the

[00:01:54] Hacks up on the grass

[00:01:56] Called them gentlemen and friends

[00:01:58] Gave his dog whistle a blast

[00:01:59] And every face was a mask

[00:02:02] What is anybody doing who ain't pretending

[00:02:06] What is anybody doing

[00:02:10] Why would he frighten off his friends

[00:02:14] With something useless as the truth

[00:02:21] Anna was a beauty in her youth

[00:02:32] And hey

[00:02:35] Did she scare all of your

[00:02:39] All of your friends away

[00:02:44] And hey

[00:02:47] Did she scare all of your

[00:02:51] All of your friends away

[00:02:56] And hey

[00:03:00] Did she scare all of your

[00:03:04] All of your friends away

[00:03:36] And Anna was a beauty in her youth

[00:03:42] She had some fine boys on her trail like the tailor's son

[00:03:46] Who scaled the ranks of

[00:03:47] Suits and all he touched turned into loot

[00:03:51] But I

[00:03:54] I knew his kind very well

[00:03:59] And when the doric columns cracked

[00:04:01] It tore the shirt right off his back

[00:04:03] So they sold him down the river before pocketing the cash

[00:04:12] He weren't so lucky then

[00:04:16] But it didn't bother Anna

[00:04:18] She had boys on tap

[00:04:19] And Jack was a probono defense lawyer

[00:04:22] At a firm called Young and Black

[00:04:24] He'd been made a junior partner

[00:04:26] And shown how to work a rort

[00:04:28] Making charitable donations to

[00:04:30] Salvation Army Corps and Veterans Without Wheelchairs

[00:04:35] And the Widows Of The Wars

[00:04:36] He was a Liberating Angel with a

[00:04:39] Clothes Peg on his nose

[00:04:40] But he swooped a little low one time

[00:04:43] And crashed into some locals who

[00:04:45] Beat seven shades of shame through him

[00:04:47] Then levied heavy taxes of their own

[00:04:49] And said necessity is nine tenths of surgery

[00:04:53] He owed his face's health

[00:04:54] And to watch them very carefully

[00:04:56] 'Cause this is where the equal

[00:04:58] Distribution of wealth is going to

[00:05:04] Anna was a beauty in her youth

[00:05:15] Hey

[00:05:18] Did she scare all your

[00:05:22] All your friends away

[00:05:27] Hey

[00:05:30] Did she frighten all your

[00:05:34] All your friends away

[00:05:38] Hey

[00:05:42] Did she scare all of your

[00:05:47] All your friends away

[00:06:18] And Anna was a beauty in her youth

[00:06:24] It was at the garden party

[00:06:26] Where we first were introduced

[00:06:28] By her father who'd retired

[00:06:30] Into a well of sweet vermouth

[00:06:32] But I knew what was coming next

[00:06:41] While he'd been winning plaudits for his ornithology

[00:06:45] I'd been selling Winnebagos to less heeled retirees

[00:06:53] It had not been going well

[00:06:57] I moved RV's on hire purchase

[00:06:59] When I knew I should have leased

[00:07:01] And my investors all went bankrupt

[00:07:03] So I couldn't supply

[00:07:05] And I could not meet repayments

[00:07:07] Even if demand increased

[00:07:09] I wished they'd pay me what they owed me

[00:07:11] Then all f**k off like good pensioners

[00:07:13] And die and have a holiday at least

[00:07:19] Then he said "Money won't bring happiness"

[00:07:21] And I very nearly cried

[00:07:23] But he didn't venture further no one saying that ever tries

[00:07:27] I took a hard slug on my drink

[00:07:29] And Anna watched me while I melted

[00:07:31] Like an ice cube in the desert of her shade

[00:07:37] And if she smiled at you there'd be nothing you

[00:07:40] Wouldn't do 'cause women made like Anna

[00:07:42] Are born coasting on

[00:07:43] The admiration which Anna made the most of

[00:07:47] She turned one against the other all friends

[00:07:50] At one time or other yet they

[00:07:52] Set upon themselves

[00:07:53] And cleared the way from me to her

[00:07:58] You and I were happy then

[00:08:00] And happy's no defence

[00:08:02] But if it's any consolation

[00:08:04] I expected someone else

[00:08:06] That would be her masterstroke

[00:08:10] And I am standing here today as proff

[00:08:18] Anna was a beauty in her youth

[00:08:29] Hey

[00:08:32] Did she scare all of your

[00:08:36] All your friends away

[00:08:41] Hey

[00:08:44] Did she frighten all your

[00:08:48] All your friends away

[00:08:52] Hey

[00:08:56] Did she scare all of your

[00:09:00] All your friends away

[00:09:04] Hey

[00:09:08] Did she frighten all your

[00:09:12] All your friends away
