《Bat Out of Basildon》歌词

[00:00:00] Bat Out of Basildon - The Tangent

[00:00:36] He's only as old as his helmet and no one can see his grey hair

[00:00:44] Through the dark tinted perspex sun visor as he breathes in the open freeway air

[00:00:51] There's a two hour queue out of Stansted and an age on the M25

[00:01:00] A line of artics that stretches to Yorkshire

[00:01:04] But this guy's still glad to be alive

[00:01:16] Half his world in his topcase the other half in his sack

[00:01:24] As he overtakes the juggernauts of his past

[00:01:27] This guy's never looking back

[00:01:32] He lives his life on the white lines

[00:01:36] He's the spirit of old 66

[00:01:40] Three hundred kilos of man and machine still

[00:01:45] Still getting their kicks

[00:01:47] He's still dreaming of summers on the open road

[00:01:52] The path that he's chosen is no more than he's owed

[00:01:55] And his freedom comes in horsepower it seems

[00:02:04] The apehanger bars seem to suit him so well

[00:02:07] He's an easy rider

[00:02:10] He's a bat out of hell

[00:02:11] He's the leader of the pack

[00:02:13] He's an angel in the raw

[00:02:20] But no-one writes those biker songs no more

[00:02:40] Basildon glows on the distant horizon like he's coming down to LA

[00:02:48] The rain's sheeting in from imagined mountains but while the traffic works he plays

[00:03:12] He's only as old as his helmet and he only got it last week

[00:03:20] And the exhaust sounds like a f**king rock band

[00:03:23] And the cops only see a silver streak

[00:03:27] He's got born to be wild on the walkman

[00:03:32] And the devil tattoo doesn't show

[00:03:35] But the guy from the chip shop down your street

[00:03:39] Is a heavy metal God of the road

[00:03:43] He's still dreaming of summers on the open road

[00:03:48] The path that he's chosen is no more than he's owed

[00:03:51] And his freedom comes in horsepower it seems

[00:04:00] The apehanger bars seem to suit him so well

[00:04:03] He's an easy rider

[00:04:06] He's a bat out of hell

[00:04:07] He's the leader of the pack

[00:04:09] He's an angel in the raw

[00:04:15] But no-one writes those biker songs no more

[00:04:24] But no-one writes those biker songs no more

[00:04:43] He's still dreaming of summers on the open road

[00:04:48] The path that he's chosen is no more than he's owed

[00:04:52] And his freedom comes in horsepower it seems

[00:05:00] The apehanger bars seem to suit him so well

[00:05:03] He's an easy rider

[00:05:06] He's a bat out of hell

[00:05:08] He's the leader of the pack

[00:05:09] He's an angel in the raw

[00:05:16] And the sun has just set behind the Rockies tonight

[00:05:19] On the roads by the Med will the water shines bright

[00:05:23] There's chrome by the roadhouses and dark-eyed chicks at the bar

[00:05:31] There's camp fires burning and there's bands on the stage
