Jacques Lamure is a |
| [00:05.20] |
volunteer fireman |
| [00:07.37] |
|
| [00:10.37] |
He longs to give his life |
| [00:13.42] |
Saving a nice old man and his wife |
| [00:17.04] |
When their house is |
| [00:18.25] |
filled with flames |
| [00:20.76] |
Earning him honor and fame |
| [00:25.14] |
Jacques Lamure is a foreman |
| [00:27.95] |
at a clock factory |
| [00:29.82] |
|
| [00:32.07] |
He wishes he were boss |
| [00:35.31] |
So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss |
| [00:38.01] |
|
| [00:39.01] |
Who always puts him down |
| [00:42.69] |
When Megan Blanchard is around |
| [00:44.19] |
|
| [00:47.06] |
He told himself last year |
| [00:48.43] |
that when springtime was here |
| [00:49.94] |
He would suddenly appear at Meg's door |
| [00:53.61] |
He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand |
| [00:57.17] |
His dear Meg to take his hand |
| [00:59.16] |
And to be his forever more |
| [01:01.32] |
|
| [01:02.76] |
But of course he didn't dare |
| [01:05.07] |
and pretended not to care |
| [01:06.03] |
|
| [01:08.22] |
About the insult or the loss |
| [01:10.73] |
|
| [01:11.92] |
When he found out she'd married William Moss |
| [01:14.66] |
|
| [01:25.41] |
Jacques Lamure goes to see a show |
| [01:28.48] |
every other Friday night |
| [01:29.01] |
|
| [01:32.57] |
He likes the westerns best |
| [01:35.44] |
He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest |
| [01:38.56] |
|
| [01:39.24] |
Than that weird guy who never says a word |
| [01:42.86] |
And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard |
| [01:45.36] |
|
| [01:46.42] |
He realized one day that he didn't have to stay |
| [01:50.16] |
That he could move as far away as planes could fly |
| [01:53.54] |
|
| [01:54.29] |
He chuckled as he mused |
| [01:55.73] |
About the people who had rused him |
| [01:57.85] |
And how shocked and confused that they would be |
| [02:00.28] |
When he says goodbye and never turns around |
| [02:04.73] |
Never returns to that miserable town |
| [02:07.49] |
Then as weeks passed he soon did find |
| [02:10.00] |
|
| [02:12.25] |
This move had greatly improved his state of mind |
