《Belle of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Belle of the Blues - Janis Ian

[00:00:01] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:10] I'm the belle of the blues

[00:00:16] And it's easy to see

[00:00:20] If I win or I lose

[00:00:27] It's all one to me

[00:00:30] I was born on a shelf in the rare books library

[00:00:40] I reside by myself with my books and my TV

[00:00:51] I'm an old age pension for the fossilized routine

[00:01:01] Anybody for nostalgia

[00:01:05] Put a record on and see

[00:01:09] Here's a memory of olden days

[00:01:16] And a heartbreak grown cold

[00:01:21] All that glitters isn't gold

[00:01:24] You get no love for free

[00:01:30] You live and you die

[00:01:35] And I'll probably throw it away

[00:01:40] But in the end it's mine

[00:01:43] And nobody has a right to say

[00:01:49] Go down lightly go down silently

[00:02:00] I'll go down screaming

[00:02:03] Give it back it belongs to me

[00:02:09] I'm the belle of the blues

[00:02:13] I'm used to mingling

[00:02:18] With the crème de la crème of higher society

[00:02:28] I promise them roses

[00:02:32] And an eight by ten of me

[00:02:37] But when the party's over

[00:02:41] They're all too glad to leave

[00:02:47] Their children sing of sorrow

[00:02:51] It's the same old routine

[00:02:55] They've begged and they've borrowed

[00:02:59] Someone else's misery

[00:03:05] It's an easy act to follow

[00:03:10] At least an easy one for me

[00:03:15] Give me my tomorrows

[00:03:17] You can have my memories

[00:03:23] Souvenirs from an old fashioned school

[00:03:33] Plays coquette on the pillow

[00:03:36] Like an old fashioned fool

[00:03:41] Go down lightly

[00:03:46] Go down silently

[00:03:51] You go down lonely

[00:03:56] You go down like me
