| [00:00.00] | 作词 : Bragg |
| [00:15.36] | Between marx and marzipan in the dictionary there was mary |
| [00:23.04] | Between the deep blue sea and the devil that was me |
| [00:33.24] | If ever anyone could help me with my obsession with |
| [00:37.59] | The young suzannah york |
| [00:51.84] | It was mary |
| [00:52.11] | In my pink pyjamas she asked me for something |
| [00:56.52] | I gave her the short answer |
| [00:59.61] | She read our stars out loud |
| [01:02.70] | And i knew then that we should have gone sailing |
| [01:08.01] | But we stayed home instead |
| [01:11.28] | Fighting on the waterbed |
| [01:12.36] | Like the honeymoon couple on drugs |
| [01:19.23] | Me and mary |
| [01:28.53] | What happened in the past |
| [01:31.29] | Remained a mystery of natural history |
| [01:36.15] | She should have been the last |
| [01:38.55] | But she was just the latest |
| [01:43.62] | If she wanted to be a farmer's wife |
| [01:48.15] | I would endure that muddy life |
| [01:52.26] | I would dig for victory |
| [01:57.00] | And the sound of happy couples |
| [01:58.95] | Coupling happily in the dark |
| [02:01.05] | While you and i sat down to tea |
| [02:03.09] | I remember you said to me |
| [02:04.74] | That no amount of poetry |
| [02:06.63] | Would mend this broken heart |
| [02:08.79] | But you can put the hoover round |
| [02:10.59] | If you want to make a start |
| [02:30.51] | All my friends from school |
| [02:33.33] | Introduce me to their spouses |
| [02:37.56] | While i'm left standing here |
| [02:40.68] | With my hands down the front of my trousers |
| [02:45.45] | I just don't know what's to be done |
| [02:49.05] | I wonder sometimes how did dad meet mum |
| [02:53.04] | And how did they conceive of me |
| [02:54.69] | Tell my mary |
| [03:06.42] | The boys who came to the shop |
| [03:09.18] | Always made her laugh much more than i did |
| [03:14.70] | When i told her this must stop |
| [03:16.56] | She didn't bat an eyelid |
| [03:21.36] | She said you know honey it's such a shame |
| [03:25.29] | You'll never be any good at this game |
| [03:29.40] | You bruise too easily |
| [03:34.26] | So said mary |
| [03:43.02] | Her two brothers took me out |
| [03:45.87] | Of circulation for the duration |
| [03:50.61] | So we went our separate ways but does she still love me |
| [03:55.41] | She still has my door key |
| [03:58.11] | Like a bully boy in a benetton shop |
| [04:02.40] | You're never happy with what you've got |
| [04:35.04] | Till what you've got is gone |
| [04:35.55] | Sorry mary |
