《Oretown》歌词

[00:00:00] Oretown - The Pogues

[00:00:18] Stank night of diesel

[00:00:20] Stranger came to town

[00:00:22] A cold wind blowing

[00:00:23] And the rain pouring down

[00:00:25] Street lights flicker

[00:00:27] And the power lines moan

[00:00:29] The moon beat down

[00:00:31] On a river of bone

[00:00:33] Someone put the lights out

[00:00:35] No one make a sound

[00:00:36] You won't find a thing

[00:00:38] Down in oretown

[00:00:40] Foundry spits fire and smoke

[00:00:42] Air's foul and choking

[00:00:44] Sky full of sulphur

[00:00:46] Mountains flat and broken

[00:00:48] Black fogs and whirlwinds

[00:00:50] Thunder and rain

[00:00:51] Open drink madness

[00:00:53] And purple mad pain

[00:00:55] The circus is over

[00:00:57] Exit the clowns

[00:00:59] Nobody's laughing

[00:01:01] Down in oretown

[00:01:02] The ship's in the harbour

[00:01:04] Cargo's been pawned

[00:01:06] Barrooms spilling sailors

[00:01:08] All shipwrecked at dawn

[00:01:10] Smelling of salt and rust

[00:01:12] Uniforms torn

[00:01:13] Came looking for flowers

[00:01:15] Only found thorns

[00:01:17] Dreaming of mermaids

[00:01:19] In pearly white gowns

[00:01:21] Tain is sleeping

[00:01:23] Down in oretown

[00:01:25] There's a madman down on mainstreet

[00:01:27] Eyes all aflame

[00:01:28] Laughing in the thunder

[00:01:30] Of the number 9 train

[00:01:32] Selling old postcards in rusty frames

[00:01:36] A thousand views of oretown

[00:01:37] And they all look the same

[00:01:39] Dressed up in sandals

[00:01:41] And a barbed wire crown

[00:01:43] A lot of people loose their minds

[00:01:45] Down in oretown

[00:01:47] Lock up the lawman

[00:01:49] Let go the thief

[00:01:50] Rounding up the grey men

[00:01:52] Nail them to a tree

[00:01:54] This town was a palace

[00:01:56] This town was aglow

[00:01:58] Then the sky burned orange

[00:02:00] And the iron river flowed

[00:02:01] The night stank of diesel

[00:02:03] A stranger came to town

[00:02:05] The night folded over

[00:02:07] Down in oretown
