《Sketches Of China》歌词

[00:00:00] Sketches Of China - Paul Kantner's Wooden Ships

[00:00:43] Let me tell you bout a man I knew

[00:00:45] He roamed the depth and the breadth of China

[00:00:48] On a horse that he grew himself

[00:00:50] From the bark of a tree on mainland China

[00:00:53] And he had a time yes he had the time of his life in China

[00:00:57] He carried strife and harmony to all the people on the mainland

[00:01:12] And there was a warlord who rode the murky depths of China

[00:01:17] With a shotgun in his hand and he wondered where the people'd gone to

[00:01:22] Have you got the time to listen while I sing this song

[00:01:27] I had the time to listen to the man go

[00:01:29] Right and wrong and right thru

[00:01:30] China

[00:01:32] And it ain't what you want it's what you need

[00:01:37] No it ain't what you want it's what you need

[00:01:42] And I'd rather be here than yesterday

[00:01:47] It ain't what you want it's what you need

[00:02:12] And there was a lady she rolled around in town in China

[00:02:17] And there was a lady she rolled and rolled

[00:02:22] And she killed a war she made the warlord rise in time

[00:02:26] Took him down and sat him down

[00:02:28] She laid him out for just one more

[00:02:30] Round

[00:02:50] Drunk in a beautiful garden celebration

[00:02:55] Here comes the khan storm the palace look for alice

[00:03:00] Rising oriental girl diving back for just one more pearl

[00:03:07] And it ain't what she wants it's what she needs

[00:03:12] She don't want your sound she wants your country

[00:03:16] And I'd rather be next year than on the way to bombay

[00:03:21] Oh it ain't what you want it's what you need

[00:03:26] And it ain't what she wants it's what she needs

[00:03:31] And it ain't what she wants it's what she needs

[00:03:36] And it ain't what she wants it's what she needs

[00:03:40] Just mind behind

[00:03:41] And it ain't what she wants it's what she needs
