《Wootton Bassett Town》歌词

[00:00:00] Wootton Bassett Town - Ian Anderson

[00:00:29] Hourglass sands run through my veins

[00:00:33] Like blood draining from a salty wound

[00:00:37] Mad Mars forgets the cost of strife

[00:00:41] Serves no longer purpose in my life

[00:00:45] I lie in sweat cry others' tears

[00:00:50] And write a letter to my Mum

[00:00:55] My wife my God unheard unseen

[00:01:01] Who never thinks to intervene

[00:01:16] Oh what pain and oh what lie has

[00:01:20] Called to us from heaven on high

[00:01:23] This cruel and harsh sweet punishment

[00:01:27] For follies acted leaves us spent

[00:01:31] Long road to Baghdad

[00:01:33] Then Persian hordes

[00:01:37] Where will we stop to

[00:01:39] Sheath our swords

[00:01:42] IEDs lie patient sleeping

[00:01:48] Wake when soldier boots come creeping

[00:02:34] Hourglass sands run through

[00:02:37] My veins like blood draining

[00:02:39] From a salty wound

[00:02:41] Mad Mars forgets the cost of strife

[00:02:45] Serves no longer purpose in my life

[00:02:49] Down this dusty scorched wind blast track

[00:02:53] Eyes facing forward ne'er look back

[00:02:57] As rain comes down on

[00:02:59] Wootton Bassett Town black hearses

[00:03:02] Crawl and church bells sound

[00:03:05] Bikers burghers line the kerbs;

[00:03:11] A politician a Highness Royal

[00:03:16] Chance shoppers tradesmen

[00:03:19] Stiffly stand and shed their

[00:03:23] Tears for the military man
