《After These Wars》歌词

[00:00:00] After These Wars-Ian Anderson
[00:00:15] After battle, with wounds to lick and
[00:00:19] beaus and belles all reuniting.
[00:00:25] Rationing, austerity: it did us
[00:00:28] good after the fighting.
[00:00:34] Now, time to bid some fond farewells and
[00:00:37] walk away from empires crumbling.
[00:00:40] Post-war baby-boom to fuel with post-
[00:00:44] Victorian half-dressed fumbling.
[00:00:49] I see a screen, grey cathode tube in
[00:00:52] walnut cabinet, pride of place
[00:00:55] in holy family living room. Clipped-
[00:00:59] tone announcer, powdered face.
[00:01:04] And now to mould public opinion,
[00:01:08] sanctify the good and great.
[00:01:11] Lordly over his dominion, brash
[00:01:14] Television seals our fate.
[00:01:20] After these wars, when gentler winds were blowing.
[00:01:26] After these wars, when stocking tops were showing.
[00:01:32] When the Co-op gave us daily bread
[00:01:36] and penicillin raised the dead
[00:01:39] and combine harvesters kept
[00:01:45] us fed, after these wars.
[00:01:56] We thanked the Yank and thanked the
[00:01:59] Lord for sparing us from dark invasion.
[00:02:06] Now to liberate, rebuild and balance
[00:02:09] Europe's new equation.
[00:02:14] Spooky spies in from the cold with
[00:02:18] lies and secrets to be sold
[00:02:21] to bigger brothers, bigger bombs,
[00:02:24] le Carré thrillers to be told.
[00:02:29] We take our place amongst those others
[00:02:33] who would punch above their weight.
[00:02:36] Divest ourselves of glowing mantle,
[00:02:39] mantle of old Britain Great.
[00:02:45] Bit part cast in Hollywood, ripe
[00:02:48] old thespian, tolerated.
[00:02:52] World-weary ham upon the stage,
[00:02:55] evergreen but over-rated.
[00:03:01] After these wars, when gentler winds were blowing.
[00:03:07] After these wars, when stocking tops were showing.
[00:03:13] When the Co-op gave us daily bread
[00:03:16] and penicillin raised the dead
[00:03:20] and combine harvesters kept
[00:03:25] us fed, after these wars.
