《Grandma’s Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Grandma's Song (祖母之歌) - Original Cast Of Billy Elliot

[00:00:01] Written by：Elton John/Lee Hall

[00:00:30] I hated the sod for thirty three year

[00:00:35] We should never have married of that I'm quite clear

[00:00:40] He spent the housekeeping money on whisky and beer

[00:00:45] And never lifted a finger

[00:00:50] Times were hard but the swine rolled back p**sed

[00:00:55] So we'd fight and he'd swing and he rarely missed

[00:01:00] So I'd clobber the sod when he couldn't resist

[00:01:05] Asleep you can't lift a finger

[00:01:10] But we'd go dancing and he'd hold me tight

[00:01:15] He was air he was water he was breath he was light

[00:01:20] And he would hold me there with all his might

[00:01:24] And it was bliss for an hour or so

[00:01:30] But then they called time to go

[00:01:35] And in the morning we were sober

[00:01:49] O he'd drink and he'd talk just like a fool

[00:01:55] Lie like a bairn and snore like a mule

[00:01:59] Rarely was sober pretty much was the rule

[00:02:04] And he never lifted a finger

[00:02:09] I suppose times were hard things were different then

[00:02:14] Women were women and men they were men

[00:02:18] Seventeen that was it your life ended when you had a ring around your finger

[00:02:28] But we'd go dancing he was me own Brando

[00:02:33] And for a moment there my heart was a glow

[00:02:38] We had dust in our hair and nowhere to go

[00:02:43] But we were free for an hour or three

[00:02:48] From the people we had to be

[00:02:53] But in the morning we were sober

[00:03:08] But if I went through my time again

[00:03:13] Oh I'd do it without the help of men

[00:03:18] Or at least your Grandad

[00:03:21] But then again you know

[00:03:25] Best not to linger

[00:03:29] What is the use of dreaming now

[00:03:34] I had my chance well anyhow

[00:03:39] If I'd only known then what I know now

[00:03:44] I'd've given them all the finger

[00:03:49] And gone dancing and not give a sh*t

[00:03:53] And spin around and reel and love each bit

[00:03:57] And I'd dance alone and enjoy it

[00:04:01] And I'd be me for an entire life

[00:04:05] Instead of somebody's wife

[00:04:09] And I never would be sober

[00:04:19] And I never would be sober
