《Forty Years(Live At The Roundabout Theatre， New York City/1986)》歌词

[00:00:00] Forty Years - Joe Jackson

[00:00:28] Here in berlin people line up to get in

[00:00:37] To wait for the end

[00:00:40] Living in glorious sin

[00:00:46] Theyve looked around

[00:00:48] And now there is no looking back

[00:00:54] To when rivers ran red

[00:00:57] Now its the sky that grows black

[00:01:03] Shadows are cast as two giants roam over the earth

[00:01:11] We light a match

[00:01:14] But what is that little flame worth

[00:01:21] Once allies danced and sang

[00:01:27] But it was forty years ago

[00:01:44] Here in d c

[00:01:47] They talk about euro-disease

[00:01:52] And how the french are always so damn hard to please

[00:02:01] Otions are passed in brussels but no one agrees

[00:02:09] And no one walks tall

[00:02:12] But no-one gets down on their knees

[00:02:19] Once allies laughed and drank

[00:02:25] But it was forty years ago

[00:02:42] Where I come from

[00:02:45] They dont like americans much

[00:02:51] They think theyre so loud so tasteless and so out of touch

[00:02:59] Stiff upper lips are curled into permanent sneers

[00:03:08] Self-satisfied

[00:03:11] Awaiting the next forty years

[00:03:18] Once allies cried and cheered

[00:03:23] But it was forty years ago
