《The Ladies Understand》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ladies Understand - Momus

[00:00:09] When I was a little whippersnapper of a boy just 19

[00:00:12] Years of age

[00:00:14] And I happened to stain the sheets on the bed or I

[00:00:17] Happened to misbehave

[00:00:18] The stains were lovingly washed away in a tub of soapy water

[00:00:23] By the ladies I protected from a world of horrible slaughter

[00:00:27] But whenever a piece of ultraviolent thuggery is done

[00:00:32] And the world looks on with heart in mouth speechless

[00:00:35] And stunned

[00:00:37] Remember that every offender is his own mother's son

[00:00:41] Here is the song that I have always sung

[00:00:45] Give me mass in the morning the bookie's at noon

[00:00:48] The brothel all night long

[00:00:50] But I'll always be true to the ladies the ladies understand

[00:00:55] I'm their favourite

[00:00:57] They love me I treat them like

[00:01:11] Then when at last I came of age and had to make my way

[00:01:15] I set up shop with a dozen girls so popular was I

[00:01:20] I marched them up to the top of the town and there I

[00:01:23] Had them loiter

[00:01:24] There are many worse ways to earn your pay in a world

[00:01:27] Of horrible slaughter

[00:01:29] But whenever a piece of ultraviolent thuggery is done

[00:01:34] And the world looks on with heart in mouth speechless

[00:01:37] And stunned

[00:01:38] Remember that every offender is his own mother's son

[00:01:43] Here is the song that I have always sung

[00:01:47] Give me mass in the morning the bookie's at noon

[00:01:50] The brothel all night long

[00:01:52] But I'll always be true to the ladies the ladies understand

[00:01:57] I'm their favourite

[00:02:13] One of my girls did a runner one day with a lad from

[00:02:16] The orchestra

[00:02:17] Who scraped a living on a violin and stayed at home

[00:02:20] With ma

[00:02:22] I ground his instrument into the ground and tracy when

[00:02:25] I caught her

[00:02:26] That time got off lightly tn this world of horrible slaughter

[00:02:31] Now I've got a little whippersnapper of my own just at

[00:02:34] The difficult age

[00:02:35] And if he happens to slash a girl to test his army

[00:02:38] Penknife blade

[00:02:40] The blood is lovingly washed away in a tub of soapy water

[00:02:45] By the girls he may protect one day from a world of

[00:02:48] Horrible slaughter

[00:02:50] Give me mass in the morning the bookie's at noon

[00:02:54] The brothel all night long

[00:02:56] But I'll always be true to the ladies the ladies understand

[00:03:01] I'm their favourite

[00:03:03] They love me I treat them like sh
