Stopping All Stations Restrung歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Francis, Lambert, Smith
[00:21.60]Early morn, train station, aching from the arthritis
[00:24.24]This war veteran knows what a hard time is
[00:27.11]He needs his pension, dementia and half blind is
[00:29.56]The reason he rides the train with no car license
[00:32.43]So he boards with an expired ticket has a swipe
[00:34.96]Gets a fine cos the change he got don't add up right
[00:37.94]We're taking about a man who never lived a lavish life,
[00:40.08]Caught up in the age of computer chips and satellites
[00:42.52]A lovely lady boards looking tired and half awake
[00:45.34]He smiles, she's reminds him of his wife that passed away
[00:47.95]She says something as she walks right past his way
[00:51.12]His old hearing aid don't last quite half the day
[00:53.84]Some young gentlemen alive with their laughter
[00:56.09]Approach the old timer and put a knife to his heart to
[00:58.96]Explain that money or bloods the price of their barter
[01:01.33]To a man whose friends probably died for their fathers
[01:04.53]
[01:15.69]Whatever it takes can justify
[01:17.96]Whatever ends we make, whatever the price
[01:20.43]To the end of a life, it's just an observation
[01:22.75]So take a ride we're stopping all stations
[01:26.14]It's been a long night the suns lifting on a cold
[01:28.04]Morning but she's drugged and drunk tripping on her stroll
[01:31.22]On the way home, she's done stripping on a pole
[01:33.79]But she can't pay for her son living on the dole
[01:36.47]Jumps a train puts on her gloves she's wearing black
[01:39.27]Being watched by some old mug she's glaring back
[01:41.93]She's on edge and got the bug from sharing smack
[01:44.21]So she says, "Hey, what the **** you staring at?
[01:47.27]He smiles, an unsteady hand rubs on his dome
[01:49.38]She takes a seat, a messy band of ruffs board alone
[01:52.03]To the digger with a machete at his lungs and he's prone
[01:54.76]He can barely stand but ready to stand up for his own
[01:57.34]She tries to help him she doesn't choose to flee the car
[02:00.74]And catches a blow with enough bruise to leave a scar
[02:03.16]She starts fainting, the rooms moving and seeing stars
[02:05.51]Aint it amazing how courageous human beings are
[02:08.32]
[02:20.34]Whatever it takes can justify
[02:21.64]Whatever ends we make, whatever the price
[02:24.21]To the end of a life, it's just an observation
[02:26.84]So take a ride we're stopping all stations
[02:29.36]He knows nothing but hard work and scraping by
[02:32.54]Looking for a purse or wallet so he can make a buy
[02:35.26]He hasn't been on the nod since this morning
[02:39.01]And he needs to touch the face of god, his skin it's just crawling
[02:42.32]These peeps are sheep, time to fleece the market
[02:43.83]Jumps a train with some friends, sees an easy target
[02:45.37]An old man hard hit by age, faint-hearted
[02:48.35]The kid pulls a knife, like let's get started
[02:51.01]A girl steps he's like eat the carpet
[02:53.35]Laughs with his friend like she's retarded
[02:55.96]The old man stepped and swept the assailant
[02:58.53]Off his feet, his head connected with the railing
[03:01.60]Your weak the old man said as the kid lay recovering
[03:04.25]Blubbering, get to your feet I'll tell you another thing,
[03:07.68]A real man never lays his hands on a woman
[03:10.31]A real man would know that, no surprise that you wouldn't
[03:15.76]I didn't fight in two wars just so forty years later
[03:18.69]You'd have the freedom to rob me on the train this behaviour
[03:19.20]Doesn't fit with what I gave this country so cut me
[03:20.65]Won't live another day in a world that's so ugly
[03:31.43]So take a ride, cos we're stopping all stations
