《Ballad Of The Times》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of The Times - Everything But The Girl

[00:00:35] Narrow streets breed narrow minds and

[00:00:38] Care for king but not for kind

[00:00:42] It's a short hop to a long weekend

[00:00:45] When every move you apreehend

[00:00:49] You'll never find room to find your feet

[00:00:52] To walk out of this avenue

[00:00:56] Your pockets are lined with promises

[00:00:59] When did a promise ever pay for shoes

[00:01:10] Counting coal trucks by the line and

[00:01:14] Raise your glasses one more time

[00:01:17] 'Cause Billy has gone off to war

[00:01:20] And God knows what he's fighting for

[00:01:24] But wartime will make him a man

[00:01:28] Work that no one see if you can

[00:01:31] A hero's grave is 6 feet deep not

[00:01:35] Room enough for all his plans

[00:01:42] She can scrub the step but if he'll never gleam

[00:01:46] If he did she'd smash the dream

[00:01:50] And they've held the world too long

[00:01:53] But dreams are what you wake up from

[00:02:03] Father was a fighter too

[00:02:06] The only way to jump the queue

[00:02:10] Boxing clever times were tough

[00:02:13] But will that ever be enough

[00:02:17] You'd never find room to find his feet

[00:02:20] To walk out of these avenues

[00:02:23] Their pockets are lined with promises

[00:02:27] When did a promise ever pay for shoes

[00:02:34] When did a promise ever pay for shoes
