《The Greatest Living Englishman》歌词
[00:00:01] The Greatest Living Englishman - David Sylvian
[00:02:26] Here we are then, here we are
[00:02:34] Notes from a suicide
[00:02:44] And he will never ever be
[00:02:49] The Greatest Living Englishman
[00:03:09] It's such a melancholy blue
[00:03:15] Or a grey of no significance
[00:03:21] Plastic coated surfaces
[00:03:27] A space to place his suitcase
[00:03:32] As it's passed from A to B
[00:03:59] But it's such a melancholy blue
[00:04:05] The curtains round the bed are drawn
[00:04:10] Broadcast voices from the ward
[00:04:15] The humming of machines hurt
[00:04:21] But there are distances between
[00:04:28] Yes there are distances between
[00:04:49] His aspirations visited him nightly
[00:04:56] And amounted to so little
[00:05:01] Too much self in his writing
[00:05:07] Now he will never, ever be
[00:05:13] The Greatest Living Englishman
[00:05:31] The engine shifts into second gear
[00:05:36] They're all aboard, accounted for
[00:05:40] It's a journey he must make alone
[00:05:46] The black sheep boy is leaving home
[00:05:56] It's been rehearsed a thousand times or more
[00:06:02] He's well prepared of that he's sure
[00:06:10] But still it's such a melancholy blue
[00:06:17] As he erased a page of history
[00:06:23] Much as he'd intended to
[00:06:53] He wouldn't speak or show you he was happy
[00:06:59] Though you'd meet him with your eyes
[00:07:05] There was a wall that always stood between you
[00:07:12] He'd shut himself outside
[00:07:27] And the love that he engendered
[00:07:31] Would never be enough
[00:07:35] For him to feel alive
[00:07:39] Warm and tender
[00:07:44] He'd shut himself outside
[00:08:08] Not a fake or a sham
[00:08:11] But dug in deep and fighting
[00:08:16] The world could not embrace a man
[00:08:21] With so much self in his writing
[00:08:43] And he was never gonna be
[00:08:49] The Greatest Living Englishman
[00:08:57] He had ideas above his station
[00:09:03] Minor virtues go unmentioned
[00:09:15] Little England you fit like a straightjacket
[00:09:20] Hemmed by the genius of others
[00:09:26] He said
[00:09:28] To conquer the world is not to the trace
[00:09:35] Remove even the shadow of the memory of your face
[00:09:47] A grey of no significance
