《Time Rag》歌词

[00:00:00] Time Rag - Joan Baez

[00:00:17] Ripping along towards middle age

[00:00:19] And my music career kind of missed a page

[00:00:21] Record sales began to drop

[00:00:23] The management all began to hop

[00:00:26] Not worry they said you'll see

[00:00:28] What you need is some fresh publicity

[00:00:30] Just give us a nod and we'll all leap

[00:00:32] Towards putting you back at the top of the heap

[00:00:38] I said Fine I'll give it a whack

[00:00:40] I hung up the phone and I turned my back

[00:00:42] Began daydreaming I was somebody else

[00:00:44] When the phone jumped over from the wall to the shelf

[00:00:46] We just had a break this is really fine

[00:00:48] We can make the January issue of TIME

[00:00:51] If you'll give us Monday a week from today

[00:00:53] From two to four now what do you say

[00:00:56] I said TIME TIME mag mag

[00:01:01] You got me on the rag rag

[00:01:05] Take your insults about the queen

[00:01:09] And shove them up your royal Timese machine

[00:01:21] But I scribbled it down on the wall calendar

[00:01:24] And wondered about my interviewer

[00:01:26] Maybe he'd be just a real nice guy

[00:01:28] Bright and sympathetic with a roving eye

[00:01:30] We'd forget all about the assignment due

[00:01:32] Formalities photos and the interview

[00:01:34] We'd hop on into his big rent-a-car

[00:01:36] Go for a lovely drive not far maybe France

[00:01:42] As the big day approached it slipped my mind

[00:01:44] Till my secretary showed up at the house to remind

[00:01:46] Me to switch into gear for the big coup de gras

[00:01:49] The meeting with the man from the media

[00:01:51] I swept the driveway and polished the phone

[00:01:53] Put on a Kenzo knit in two-tone

[00:01:55] Fluffed the pillows in the burgundy chair

[00:01:57] Made up my eyes and brushed my hair all in that order

[00:02:03] When he called to say he was three hours late

[00:02:05] My cheerful facade began to disintegrate

[00:02:07] The photographer'd be even later still

[00:02:09] She was hopelessly lost in the nearby hills

[00:02:12] He arrived not exactly the man of my dreams

[00:02:14] Not bad for a rep from the Timese machine

[00:02:16] Asked me a wandering question or three

[00:02:18] And I thought he was actually listening to me

[00:02:21] And I said TIME TIME mag mag

[00:02:26] You got me on the rag rag

[00:02:30] Take your insults about the queen

[00:02:34] And shove them up your royal Timese machine

[00:02:47] Curious about his interest

[00:02:49] I babbled my way through the worldwide list

[00:02:51] Ireland Chile and the African states

[00:02:53] Poetry politics and how they relate

[00:02:55] Motherhood music and Moog synthesizers

[00:02:57] Political prisoners and Commie sympathizers

[00:02:59] Hetero homo and bisexuality

[00:03:01] Where they all stand in the nineteen-seventies

[00:03:08] Then suddenly it stopped and he started to lobby

[00:03:10] Said Tell me some inside stuff about Bobby

[00:03:12] Bobby who I smiled and said

[00:03:13] And the TIME man's face was laced with red

[00:03:16] I know you guys used to know each other

[00:03:18] I know you refer to him as being your brother

[00:03:20] And I know that you know where he's coming from

[00:03:22] I said You know alot for being so Goddamned dumb

[00:03:28] And I said TIME TIME mag mag

[00:03:32] You got me on the rag rag

[00:03:36] Take your insults about the queen

[00:03:40] And shove them up your royal Timese machine

[00:03:49] Well I never gave him quite what he came for

[00:03:51] The inside story and it's really a shame

[00:03:53] For I never made the January issue of TIME

[00:03:55] And just before I run out of words that rhyme

[00:03:57] I really should tell you that deep in my heart

[00:03:59] I don't give a damn where I stand on the charts

[00:04:01] Not as long as the sun sinks into the west

[00:04:04] And that's going to be a pretty serious test of time

[00:04:08] TIME TIME mag mag

[00:04:12] You got me on the rag rag

[00:04:16] Take your insults about the queen

[00:04:20] And shove them up your royal Timese machine

[00:04:28] And I said TIME TIME mag mag

[00:04:33] You got me on the rag rag

[00:04:36] Take your insults about the queen

[00:04:41] And shove them up your royal Timese machine

[00:04:58] Ok follow this is rap
