《Time And Again》歌词

[00:00:00] Time And Again - Noel Coward

[00:00:03] Written by：Coward

[00:00:07] Life is what you make it

[00:00:09] As someone once observed

[00:00:12] A phrase the sounds a trifle glib

[00:00:16] But whoever thought it out had clearly never sorted out

[00:00:20] The vexing problem of Adam's spare rib

[00:00:25] Chastity I take it

[00:00:27] Is specially reserved

[00:00:29] For those possessing moral fibres

[00:00:34] Mine fail me all the time

[00:00:36] And maybe that's the reason I'm

[00:00:38] A baa baa black sheep calling all subscribers

[00:00:44] Time and again

[00:00:46] I'm tortured with contrition

[00:00:48] And swear that I'm sorry I've sinned

[00:00:53] Then when I've got the whole thing sewn up

[00:00:57] I must own up

[00:01:00] Everything gets blown up

[00:01:02] Freud could explain my curious condition

[00:01:07] And jung would have certainly grinned

[00:01:11] When I meet some sly dish

[00:01:13] That looks like my dish

[00:01:16] I'm sunk drunk gone with the wind

[00:01:20] How can I start afresh

[00:01:22] When the sins of the flesh override me

[00:01:29] Maybe some some psycho analyst

[00:01:32] Might slap my wrist

[00:01:34] And give a twist

[00:01:35] To what goes on inside me

[00:01:39] If I could feign

[00:01:41] The glandular transition

[00:01:43] I'd settle for taking the veil

[00:01:48] Time and again I try time and again I fail

[00:01:59] Moralists disparage

[00:02:01] A variable heart

[00:02:03] And say that it should be fenced in

[00:02:08] But they never think about

[00:02:10] Effective means of casting out

[00:02:12] That dear old die hard original sin

[00:02:17] Table d'hô te is marriage

[00:02:19] Free love is à la carte

[00:02:21] And once you've crossed forbidden fruits off

[00:02:26] You merely find that you've

[00:02:28] Unwittingly set out to prove

[00:02:30] The age old saying better with your boots off

[00:02:37] Time and again

[00:02:39] I've tried to form a credo

[00:02:41] But some how I don't seem to learn

[00:02:45] Just when I think my guardian angel's winning

[00:02:50] I go spinning

[00:02:52] Back to the beginning

[00:02:54] I can't refrain from firing a torpedo abaft or ahead or astern

[00:03:03] If I hit my quarry

[00:03:06] I can't feel sorry

[00:03:08] I'm hooked cooked done to a turn

[00:03:12] Though I frequently wish

[00:03:15] I could curb my conditioned reflexes

[00:03:21] I'll be damned if I'll sacrifice

[00:03:24] Sugar and spice

[00:03:26] To be precise nothing as nice as sex is

[00:03:31] I can't restrain my lecherous libido from slipping and tipping the scale

[00:03:40] Time and again I try time and again I fail
