《The Venus Of The Soup Kitchen》歌词

[00:00:00] The Venus Of The Soup Kitchen-Prefab Sprout

[00:00:00] The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me

[00:00:12] And all us poor cripples who've been in the wars

[00:00:22] And up sleeping on her floor

[00:00:28] Woah

[00:00:33] When you're scared of down and out

[00:00:36] You keep it to yourself and if anyone suspects

[00:00:41] You say : "Who me Hardly "

[00:00:45] You tell him "Thank your stars this isn't Derby day

[00:00:49] 'Cos it's clear you've got the gift for backing the wrong horse Charlie "

[00:00:55] Woah

[00:01:00] When you're scared of down and out

[00:01:03] You camouflage your fear with a fakin' D J smile

[00:01:08] And maybe some boogie dancin'

[00:01:11] But there's no need to be proud

[00:01:14] Hey if something's hurtin' you

[00:01:16] Could be it hurts your brothers too

[00:01:19] From Langley Park to Memphis

[00:01:22] Last night last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head

[00:01:32] The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me

[00:01:40] Singin' : "Sometimes the job gets you down

[00:01:45] You're ashamed that the word will get round

[00:01:51] Well all you poor cripples who've been in the wars

[00:02:02] End up sleeping on my floor "

[00:02:08] Woah

[00:02:13] Now some will spin you yarns to keep you quiet for a while

[00:02:19] But you know that's not my style who needs fancy footwork

[00:02:25] 'Cos none of it adds up no it doesn't weigh a thing

[00:02:30] And it doesn't buy you beer from Langley Park to Memphis

[00:02:35] Last ight last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head

[00:02:45] The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me

[00:02:53] Singin' : "Here you are and I won't tell you've no one else but me

[00:03:05] Every night I know you'll be here staring hungrily

[00:03:13] Well here you are no I won't tell 'cos everyone I know

[00:03:27] Wanders down here every night they've nowhere else to go "

[00:03:37] The Venus of the soup kitchen is standing there over me

[00:03:49] Every night I'm gonna be here staring hungrily

[00:03:59] The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me

[00:04:10] And all us poor cripples who've been in the wars

[00:04:20] End up sleeping on her floor
