[00:00.00]	作词 : Clash
[00:00.50]	They say immigrants steal the hubcaps
[00:04.04]	Of the respected gentlemen
[00:07.89]	They say it would be wine an' roses
[00:12.24]	If England were for Englishmen again
[00:18.78]	I saw a dirty overcoat
[00:21.68]	At the foot of the pillar of the road
[00:25.63]	Propped inside was an old man
[00:28.97]	Whom time would not erode
[00:32.52]	When the night was snapped by sirens
[00:35.81]	Those blue lights circled past
[00:39.42]	The dance hall called for an' ambulance
[00:42.98]	The bars all closed up fast
[00:46.48]	My silence gazing at the ceiling
[00:49.86]	While roaming the single room
[00:53.48]	I thought the old man could help me
[00:56.97]	If he could explain the gloom
[01:00.56]	You really think it's all new “
[01:03.66]	You really think about it too “
[01:07.55]	The old man scoffed as he spoke to me
[01:10.84]	I'll tell you a thing or two “
[01:15.10]	I missed the fourteen-eighteen war
[01:18.16]	But not the sorrow afterwards
[01:21.36]	With my father dead and my mother ran off
[01:25.08]	My brothers took the pay of hoods
[01:28.72]	The twenties turned the north was dead
[01:32.01]	The hunger strike came marching south
[01:35.43]	At the garden party not a word was said
[01:39.20]	The ladies lifted cake to their mouths
[01:42.82]	The next war began and my ship sailed
[01:46.30]	With battle orders writ in bed
[01:49.75]	In five long years of bullets and shells
[01:53.25]	We left ten million dead
[01:56.80]	The few returned to old Piccadilly
[02:00.20]	We limped around Lester Square
[02:03.73]	The world was busy rebuilding itself
[02:07.23]	The architects could not care
[02:10.89]	But how could we know when I was young
[02:13.99]	All the changes that were to come?
[02:17.26]	All the photos in the wallets on the battlefield
[02:21.02]	And now the terror of the scientific sun
[02:24.21]	There was masters an' servants an' servants an' dogs
[02:28.03]	They taught you how to touch your cap
[02:31.65]	But through strikes an' famine an' war an' peace
[02:35.17]	England never closed this gap
[02:38.69]	So leave me now the moon is up
[02:42.07]	But remember all the tales I tell
[02:46.40]	The memories that you have dredged up
[02:49.90]	Are on letters forwarded from hell
[03:21.67]	The streets were now deserted
[03:25.16]	The gangs had trudged off home
[03:28.80]	The lights clicked off in the bedsits
[03:32.44]	Old England was all alone
