《Town With No Cheer》歌词

[00:00:01] Town With No Cheer - Tom Waits

[00:00:43] Well it's hotter 'n blazes and all the long faces

[00:00:50] There'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier

[00:01:00] There'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo

[00:01:07] From Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander

[00:01:15] With newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives

[00:01:24] The train stopped in Serviceton less and less often

[00:01:32] There's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer

[00:01:40] Voc Rail decided the canteen was no longer necessary there

[00:01:50] No spirits no bilgewater and 80 dry locals

[00:01:58] And the high noon sun beats a hundred and four

[00:02:06] There's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store

[00:02:14] This tiny Victorian rhubarb

[00:02:16] Kept the watering hole open for sixty five years

[00:02:31] Now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st

[00:02:39] Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse

[00:02:46] The train smokes down the xylophone

[00:02:49] There'll be no stopping here

[00:02:54] All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

[00:03:19] No Bourbon no Branchwater

[00:03:22] Though the townspeople here

[00:03:25] Fought her Vic Rail decree tooth and nail

[00:03:34] Now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st

[00:03:40] Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse

[00:03:49] The train smokes down the xylophone

[00:03:52] There'll be no stopping here

[00:03:56] All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
