《The Year She Spent In England》歌词

[00:00:01] The Year She Spent In England - Weddings Parties Anything

[00:00:15] At the tender age of eighteen

[00:00:17] She saw nothing in that town to hold her

[00:00:21] Nothing in the majesty of the green New England hills

[00:00:26] She worked for one year

[00:00:28] In the office of a stock and station agent

[00:00:32] And her nights behind the bar of the Great Britain Hotel

[00:00:41] The boys concerned with football

[00:00:44] And the girls concerned with bugger all

[00:00:47] She did not spare a thought for them

[00:00:50] Bid them all adieu

[00:00:54] Said I'm shooting through

[00:00:59] Alone alone alone alone

[00:01:02] She thought it might be worth the pain

[00:01:08] Alone alone alone alone

[00:01:11] She thought it would be different

[00:01:15] But it was just the same

[00:01:29] Was it a bigger brighter world in London

[00:01:32] Well it was bigger that was certain

[00:01:35] She wasn't sure who to contact so

[00:01:38] Her friendships they were few

[00:01:41] To a few friends that she left at home

[00:01:44] Her letters spoke of certain pleasure

[00:01:48] How she'd lived up to this point

[00:01:51] My God she hardly knew

[00:01:55] And the treasures found in Camden

[00:01:58] She just stored them all away for her

[00:02:02] Return back home in twelve months' time

[00:02:05] Give or take a day

[00:02:08] Like she'd ever been away

[00:02:13] Alone alone alone alone

[00:02:16] She thought it might be worth the pain

[00:02:23] Alone alone alone alone

[00:02:25] She thought it would be different

[00:02:30] But it was just the same

[00:02:44] Now to anyone who'll listen she'll

[00:02:47] Tell of her year in England

[00:02:50] Of the people of the places of

[00:02:53] The fine times she will tell

[00:02:56] She's certainly the best dancer of a Tuesday at the disco

[00:03:02] That they built out in the car

[00:03:05] Park of the Great Britain Hotel

[00:03:10] The boys concerned with football

[00:03:13] And the girls concerned with bugger all

[00:03:16] They think she dances funny

[00:03:19] Think she dresses like a fool

[00:03:22] And her best friend knows the truth of it

[00:03:25] The year she spent in England

[00:03:28] Was like swimming underwater

[00:03:31] Across the town's Olympic pool

[00:03:36] So cruel

[00:03:40] Alone alone alone alone

[00:03:43] She thought it might be worth the pain

[00:03:50] Alone alone alone alone

[00:03:53] She thought it would be different

[00:03:57] But it was just the same

[00:03:59] Alone alone alone alone

[00:04:02] She thought it might be worth the pain

[00:04:06] But it was just the same

[00:04:10] But it was just the same

[00:04:13] It was just the same

[00:04:16] It was just the same
