《Sky Hooks And Tartan Paint》歌词

[00:00:00] Sky Hooks and Tartan Paint - Sting (史汀)/Brian Johnson

[00:00:25] Me first day in the shipyard the gaffer says to me

[00:00:29] "I want ye to go to the store lad and get a few things ye see

[00:00:33] Now here's a list can ye read lad Can ye read it back to me

[00:00:37] And me and the boys'll listen while were having wah morning tea "

[00:00:44] Now reading was me pride when I left school at fourteen

[00:00:48] There wouldn't be no problem here I'd show them I was keen

[00:00:52] But when I starts to reading they just couldn't hold their mirth

[00:00:56] Hugging themselves and spluttering like they was giving birth

[00:01:00] "First off a brace of sky hooks and a packet of nail holes neat

[00:01:04] And then three cans of tartan paint and that's me task complete "

[00:01:08] The gaffer pats me on the head and sends me on me way

[00:01:11] He says "Don't come back empty handed lad or I'll have to dock yr pay "

[00:01:19] So I gets to the store all nervous and the quartermaster's there

[00:01:23] I pulls the list out of me pocket and I starts to read all square

[00:01:27] Well I hadn't barely finished when the store-man's face turns red

[00:01:32] He gives me such an evil look I thought I'd soon be dead

[00:01:36] "First off a brace of sky hooks and a packet of nail holes neat

[00:01:40] And then three cans of tartan paint and that's me task complete "

[00:01:44] The store-man swipes me on the head and sends me on me way

[00:01:48] With a kick in the arse for me efforts and such was my first day

[00:02:23] I gets back home that evening and me mother says to me

[00:02:28] "How was it son How was your day Sit down and have some tea "

[00:02:34] I told her of the list I'd read and the trouble I was in

[00:02:40] I couldn't go back tomorrow or the gaffer'd have me skinned

[00:02:44] "First off a brace of sky hooks and a packet of nail holes neat

[00:02:49] And then three cans of tartan paint and that's me task complete "

[00:02:52] Me mother swipes me on the head and sends me on me way

[00:02:56] With a kick in the arse for me efforts and such was my first day

[00:03:11] With a kick in the arse for me efforts and such was my first day
