Song | Protect and Survive |
Artist | Jethro Tull |
Album | LIVING WITH THE PAST |
作词 : Anderson | |
They said protect and you'll survive --- | |
(but our postman didn't call) | |
8lbs. of over-pressure wave seemed to glue him to the wall | |
They said protect and you'll survive | |
E.m.p. took out the radio --- | |
(and our milk-man didn't call) | |
Flash blinded by the pretty lights, | |
Didn't see his bottles fall | |
Or feel the warm black rain arrive | |
Big friendly cloud builds in the west | |
(and our dust-men haven't called) | |
They left the dual carriageway at a hundred miles an hour --- | |
A tail wind chasing them away | |
And in deep shelters lurk below, sub-regional control | |
Who sympathise but cannot help | |
To mend your body or your soul | |
Self-appointed guadians of the race with egg upon their face | |
When steady sirens sing all-clear they pop up, | |
Find nobody here | |
And so i watch two new suns spin --- | |
(our paper man doesn't call) | |
Burnt shadow printed on the road --- now there's nothing there at all | |
They said protect and you'll survive |
zuò cí : Anderson | |
They said protect and you' ll survive | |
but our postman didn' t call | |
8lbs. of overpressure wave seemed to glue him to the wall | |
They said protect and you' ll survive | |
E. m. p. took out the radio | |
and our milkman didn' t call | |
Flash blinded by the pretty lights, | |
Didn' t see his bottles fall | |
Or feel the warm black rain arrive | |
Big friendly cloud builds in the west | |
and our dustmen haven' t called | |
They left the dual carriageway at a hundred miles an hour | |
A tail wind chasing them away | |
And in deep shelters lurk below, subregional control | |
Who sympathise but cannot help | |
To mend your body or your soul | |
Selfappointed guadians of the race with egg upon their face | |
When steady sirens sing allclear they pop up, | |
Find nobody here | |
And so i watch two new suns spin | |
our paper man doesn' t call | |
Burnt shadow printed on the road now there' s nothing there at all | |
They said protect and you' ll survive |
