Quartet [A Model Of Decorum And Tranquility] (Album Version)歌词

[00:00.80]{MOLOKOV}
[00:01.06]We wish, no, must, make our disgust
[00:06.38]With this abuse perfectly clear
[00:12.10]We're here for chess
[00:14.98]Are the U.S.?
[00:17.76]If so, why foul the atmosphere?
[00:22.82]{FLORENCE}
[00:23.25]I must protest-- our delegation
[00:25.75]Has a host of valid points to raise
[00:28.12]{THE ARBITER}
[00:28.58]It's not just black and white
[00:29.85]If I may coin a phrase
[00:31.13]As any neutral would attest
[00:32.95]{FLORENCE}
[00:33.50]But we concede
[00:34.65]The fact his masters bend the rules
[00:36.39]Is not your player's fault
[00:38.40]We'll overlook your crude political assault
[00:40.98]And under protest we'll proceed
[00:42.50]{MOLOKOV}
[00:42.69]If your man's so sweet
[00:44.48]Then why his fighting talk?
[00:46.22]If he's not a cheat
[00:48.23]Then why on earth did he go take a walk?
[00:51.11]{FLORENCE}........................{MOLOKOV}
[00:51.33]I am not surprised.............../Why let him loose?
[00:53.20]He wanted fresher air............/He’ll soon reduce
[00:54.92]Once he realized................./This great
[00:56.80]There was no hope................/Event
[00:58.20]Of your lot playing fair........./To a brawl
[00:59.58]{FLORENCE & ANATOLY}........{MOLOKOV & ARBITER}
[00:59.90]How sad...................../It’s very sad to see
[01:02.65]To........................../The ancient and distinguished
[01:03.98]See........................./Game that used to be
[01:04.98]{ALL}
[01:05.19]A model of decorum and tranquility
[01:07.93]Become like any other sport--
[01:09.90]A battleground for rival ideologies
[01:12.96]To slug it out with glee
[01:14.34]{ANATOLY}
[01:15.67]I would say with regard
[01:20.69]To him, it is hard to rebut
[01:26.59]Ever-growing suspicions
[01:32.04]My opposition's a nut
[01:37.54]{FLORENCE}
[01:37.76]I would have said
[01:39.14]You'd understand the strain
[01:40.22]And pressure getting where he's got
[01:42.51]For then you'd simply call him highly strung
[01:44.72]And not imply that he was off his head
[01:47.11]{ANATOLY}
[01:47.32]But how on earth can someone even
[01:49.41]Half as civilized and nice as you
[01:51.76]Be part of such a self-destructive point of view?
[01:54.32]I hope he pays you what you're worth
[01:56.39]{FLORENCE}................................{MOLOKOV}
[01:56.64]I'm not getting rich.................../Okay, we’ll rise
[01:59.24]My only interest is..................../Above your guy’s
[02:01.29]In something which................./Tantrums
[02:02.82]Gives me the chance................/Dramas
[02:04.14]Of working with the best......./Dirty tricks
[02:05.60]{ANATOLY}
[02:05.76]I can only say
[02:07.59]I hope your dream comes true
[02:09.02]Till that far-off day
[02:11.34]I hope you cope
[02:12.22]With helping number two
[02:13.65]{FLORENCE & ANATOLY}........{MOLOKOV & ARBITER}
[02:14.00]How sad...................................../It’s very sad to see
[02:16.19]To................................................./The ancient and distinguished
[02:18.00]See.............................................../Game that used to be
[02:18.79]{ALL}
[02:19.11]A model of decorum and tranquility
[02:21.33]Become like any other sport--
[02:23.17]A battleground for rival ideologies
[02:25.95]To slug it out with glee
