[00:01.000] 作曲 : Kate Rusby
[00:08.565] Diogenes surly and proud
[00:12.576] He started at the tearaway youth
[00:16.327] He delighted in wine, wine that was good
[00:20.575] Oh, because in good wine there was truth
[00:24.083]
[00:25.063] Oh, for good wine
[00:29.088] Oh, for the pleasure it brings
[00:33.578] If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing
[00:37.829] Of philosophers, poets and kings
[00:42.077]
[00:50.575] Democritus' wine was well stored
[00:54.569] With wine he suffered no wrath
[00:58.574] And when he was drunk, as drunk as a bird
[01:02.820] At those who were sober he'd laugh
[01:06.320]
[01:06.819] And oh, for good wine
[01:11.074] Oh, for the pleasure it brings
[01:15.572] If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing
[01:19.578] Of philosophers, poets and kings
[01:24.324]
[01:30.566] Copernicus had wine in his veins
[01:34.074] Oh, it made his philosophy real
[01:38.308] Then fancied the world, just like his brains
[01:42.812] Turned round like a chariot wheel
[01:46.565]
[01:46.824] And oh, for good wine
[01:50.817] Oh, for the pleasure it brings
[01:55.322] If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing
[01:59.570] Of philosophers, poets and kings
[02:04.323]
[02:27.563] Aristotle that master of arts
[02:31.824] Had been but a dance without wine
[02:35.312] Oh, for what we ascribe, ascribe to his parts
[02:39.809] Was due to the juice of the vine
[02:43.316]
[02:44.062] And oh, for good wine
[02:48.066] Oh, for the pleasure it brings
[02:52.569] If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing
[02:56.819] Of philosophers, poets and kings
[03:01.068]
[03:03.565] Old Plato was reckoned divine
[03:07.570] Who wisely, to kindness was prone
[03:11.321] But had it not been down to good wine
[03:15.569] His merit had never been known
[03:19.814]
[03:20.064] Oh, for good wine
[03:23.825] Oh, for the pleasure it brings
[03:28.063] If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing
[03:32.578] Of philosophers, poets and kings
[03:36.316]
[03:37.315] Oh, for good wine
[03:41.565] Oh, for the pleasure it brings
[03:45.813] If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing
[03:50.064] Of philosophers, poets and kings
[03:54.057] Of philosophers and poets and kings
