《The Old Alarm Clock(2012 - Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Old Alarm Clock - The Dubliners

[00:00:07] When first I came to London

[00:00:10] In the year of thirty nine

[00:00:13] The city looked so wonderful

[00:00:16] And the girls were so divine

[00:00:18] But the coppers got suspicious

[00:00:20] And they soon gave me the knock

[00:00:23] I was charged with being the owner

[00:00:25] Of an old alarm clock

[00:00:29] Oh next morning down by Barber street

[00:00:32] I caused no little stir

[00:00:34] The IRA were busy

[00:00:37] And the telephones did burr

[00:00:39] Said the judge I'm going to charge you

[00:00:42] With the possession of this machine

[00:00:44] And I'm also going to charge you

[00:00:47] With the wearing of the green

[00:00:50] Now says I to him Your honor

[00:00:53] If you'll give me half a chance

[00:00:55] I'll show you how me small machine

[00:00:58] Can make the peelers dance

[00:01:00] It ticks away politely

[00:01:03] Till you get an awful shock

[00:01:05] And it ticks away the gelignite

[00:01:07] In me old alarm clock

[00:01:11] Said the judge Now listen here my man

[00:01:14] And I'll tell you of our plan

[00:01:16] For you and all your countrymen

[00:01:18] I do not give a damn

[00:01:20] The only time you'll take is mine

[00:01:23] Ten years in Dartmoor dock

[00:01:25] And you can count it by the ticking

[00:01:28] Of your old alarm clock

[00:01:31] Now this lonely Dartmoor prison

[00:01:34] Would put many in the jigs

[00:01:36] The cell it isn't pretty

[00:01:39] And it isn't very big

[00:01:41] Sure I'd long ago have left the place

[00:01:44] If I had only got

[00:01:47] Ah me couple of sticks of gelignite

[00:01:50] And me old alarm clock
