《Wagner at the Opera》歌词

[00:00:05] I'm laying on the pavement

[00:00:06] And the last thing I recall

[00:00:08] Picked up by the arms and legs

[00:00:11] And taken from the hall

[00:00:13] For squaring up to culture

[00:00:14] In the circle and the stall

[00:00:17] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:00:22] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:00:27] Hurt can make you act without

[00:00:29] Apology or regret

[00:00:31] Over half a century

[00:00:33] But still I can't forget

[00:00:35] Ideology makes a mockery

[00:00:38] Of the string quartet

[00:00:41] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:00:45] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:00:52] When they came to take me

[00:00:54] I was standing on a chair

[00:00:56] I can't keep quiet

[00:00:58] I have something to declare

[00:01:01] Listen to my rattle

[00:01:02] For my rattle says "Beware"

[00:01:05] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:01:10] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:01:17] A rattle for remembering

[00:01:19] The rattle of the chains

[00:01:21] A rattle for remembering

[00:01:24] The rattle of the trains

[00:01:26] From Warsaw down the decades

[00:01:28] To hell and home again

[00:01:30] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:01:35] All because they're playing Wagner at the opera

[00:01:42] For everyone we lost

[00:01:44] I swing the rattle loud and long

[00:01:46] I swing it 'til I drown out

[00:01:49] All the music and the songs

[00:01:51] This tattoo will last forever

[00:01:53] And my memory is long

[00:01:56] Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera

[00:02:00] Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera

[00:02:05] Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera
