Song | Drunken Boat |
Artist | The Pogues |
Album | Dirty Old Town - The Platinum Collection |
作词 : Fearnley | |
The wind was whipping shingle through the windows in the town | |
A hail of stones across the roof, the slates came raining down | |
A blade of light upon the spit came sweeping through the roar | |
With me head inise a barrel and me leg screwed in the floor | |
Mother pack me bags because I'm off to foreign parts | |
Don't ask me where I'm going 'cause I'm sure it's off the charts | |
I'll pin your likeness on the wall right buy my sleeping head | |
I'll send you cards and letters so you'll know that I'm not dead | |
By this time in a week I should be far away from home | |
Trailing fingers through the phospor or asleep in flowers of foam | |
From Macao to Acapulco from Havana to Seville | |
We'll see monoliths and bridges and the Christ up on the hill | |
An aria with the Russians at the piano in the bar | |
With icefloes through the window we raised glasses to the Czar | |
We squared off on a dockside with a coupled hundred Finns | |
And we dallied in the 'dilly and we stoaked ourselves in gin | |
Now the only deck I'd want to walk | |
Are the stalks of corn beneath my feet | |
And the only sea I want to sail | |
Is the darkned pond in the scented dusk | |
Where a kid crouced full of sadness | |
Lets his boat go drifting out | |
Into the evening sun | |
We sailed through constellations and were rutted by the storm | |
I crumpled under cudgel blows and finally came ashore | |
I spent the next two years or more just staring at the wall | |
We went to sea to see the world and what d'you think we saw? | |
If we turned the table upside down and sailed around the bed | |
Clamped knives between our teeth and tied bandannas round our heads | |
With the wainscot our horizon and the ceiling as the sky | |
You'd not expect that anyone would go and fucking die | |
At nights we passed the bottle round and drank to our lost friends | |
We lay alone upon our bunks and prayed that this would end | |
A wall of moving shadows with rows of swinging keys | |
We dreamed that whole Leviathans lay rotting in the weeds | |
There's a sound that comes from miles away if you lean your head to hear | |
A ship's bell rings on board a wreck where the air is still and clear | |
And up in heaven that means another angel's got his wings | |
But all below it signifies is a ship's gone in the drink |
