《The Mariner’s Revenge Song(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Mariner's Revenge Song - The Decemberists (十二月党)

[00:01:43] We are two mariners

[00:01:45] Our ship's sole survivors

[00:01:47] In this belly of a whale

[00:01:52] It's ribs are ceiling beams

[00:01:54] It's guts are carpeting

[00:01:56] I guess we have some time to kill

[00:02:01] You may not remember me

[00:02:03] I was a child of three

[00:02:05] And you a lad of eighteen

[00:02:10] But I remember you

[00:02:12] And I will relate to you

[00:02:14] How our histories interweave

[00:02:18] At the time you were

[00:02:20] A rake and a roustabout

[00:02:25] Spending all your money

[00:02:27] On the whores and hounds

[00:02:31] Oh oh

[00:02:34] You had a charming air

[00:02:36] All cheap and debonair

[00:02:38] My widowed mother found so sweet

[00:02:43] So she took you in

[00:02:45] Her sheets still warm with him

[00:02:47] Now filled with filth and foul disease

[00:02:50] As time wore on you proved

[00:02:53] A debt ridden drunken mess

[00:02:57] Leaving my mother

[00:02:59] A poor consumptive wretch

[00:03:04] Oh oh

[00:03:07] And then you disappeared

[00:03:09] Your gambling arrears

[00:03:11] The only thing you left behind

[00:03:15] And then the magistrate

[00:03:18] Reclaimed our small estate

[00:03:20] And my poor mother lost her mind

[00:03:24] Then one day in spring

[00:03:26] My dear sweet mother died

[00:03:30] But before she did

[00:03:32] I took her hand as she dying cried

[00:03:37] Oh oh

[00:03:41] Find him find him

[00:03:43] Tie him to a pole and break

[00:03:45] His fingers to splinters

[00:03:48] Drag him to a hole until he

[00:03:50] Wakes up naked

[00:03:53] Clawing at the ceiling

[00:03:55] Of his grave

[00:04:17] It took me fifteen years

[00:04:19] To swallow all my tears

[00:04:21] Among the urchins in the street

[00:04:26] Until a priory

[00:04:28] Took pity and hired me

[00:04:30] To keep their vestry nice and neat

[00:04:35] But never once in the employ

[00:04:39] Of these holy men

[00:04:49] Did I ever once turn my mind

[00:04:52] From the thought of revenge

[00:04:56] Oh oh

[00:05:02] One night I overheard

[00:05:03] The prior exchanging words

[00:05:06] With a penitent whaler from the sea

[00:05:10] The captain of his ship

[00:05:12] Who matched you toe to tip

[00:05:14] Was known for one cruel deed

[00:05:17] The following day

[00:05:19] I shipped to sea

[00:05:20] With a privateer

[00:05:24] And in the whistle

[00:05:25] Of the wind

[00:05:27] I could almost hear

[00:05:31] Oh oh

[00:05:35] Find him find him

[00:05:37] Tie him to a pole and break

[00:05:39] His fingers to splinters

[00:05:42] Drag him to a hole until he

[00:05:45] Wakes up naked

[00:05:47] Clawing at the ceiling

[00:05:49] Of his grave

[00:06:00] There is just one thing I must say to you

[00:06:07] As you sail across the sea

[00:06:12] Always your mother will watch over you

[00:06:18] As you avenge this wicked deed

[00:07:23] And then that fateful night

[00:07:25] We had you in our sight

[00:07:28] After twenty months it seemed

[00:07:32] Your starboard flank abeam

[00:07:34] I was getting my muskets clean

[00:07:36] When came this rumbling from beneath

[00:07:47] The ocean shook

[00:07:48] The sky went black

[00:07:50] And the captain quailed

[00:07:55] And before us grew

[00:07:57] The angry jaws

[00:07:59] Of a giant a whale

[00:08:44] Don't know how I survived

[00:08:49] The crew all was chewed alive

[00:08:54] I must have slipped between his teeth

[00:08:58] But oh what providence

[00:09:01] What divine intelligence

[00:09:04] You should survive

[00:09:04] As well as me

[00:09:07] It gives my eye great joy

[00:09:09] To see your eyes fill with fear

[00:09:14] To lean in close

[00:09:15] And I will whisper

[00:09:16] The last words you'll hear

[00:09:21] Oh oh
