《Chocolate》歌词

[00:00:01] Chocolate - Tindersticks

[00:00:25] It had been the perfect Friday afternoon

[00:00:27] The job was almost done

[00:00:30] The house we were decorating was owned by a little old man

[00:00:33] Forever in the same three piece suit

[00:00:35] He'd probabbly had since he was demobbed

[00:00:37] He seemed to be forever on his way to the post office

[00:00:40] Carrying brown paper ansd string wrapped parcels under his arm

[00:00:45] He'd bring us out china cups of camp coffee

[00:00:46] And plates of custard cream biscuits

[00:00:50] The house had belonged to his parents

[00:00:52] Who had both passed away within weeks of each other

[00:00:54] A few years back

[00:00:56] They were the only people he had ever lived with

[00:00:58] This was the only house he had ever lived in

[00:01:01] I wondered what would happen to the house when he's gone

[00:01:06] It was a short walk to my bedsit

[00:01:08] Once a similar house to the old man's

[00:01:10] now broken into lots of single room accomodation

[00:01:15] It also once had a great garden like his

[00:01:17] Now occupied by one-storey modern block building

[00:01:20] Containing the dentist and chiropodist

[00:01:25] In my room was an electric cooker

[00:01:27] Which I only used in winter to keep warm

[00:01:29] Next to that was a sink with a glass shelf above it

[00:01:32] on which was a toothbrush and carton of marlboro's

[00:01:36] There was a table with a chair in one corner

[00:01:38] A single bed in the other

[00:01:40] And about four sq ft in the middle

[00:01:44] There was a wooden drawer

[00:01:45] Under the bed with most of my clothes in

[00:01:47] The rest was over the back of the chair

[00:01:50] I had a record player on a table

[00:01:52] And boxes of records underneath

[00:01:57] The bathroom for the first

[00:01:58] And the second floor was opposite my room

[00:02:00] It had a meter for the water

[00:02:02] Which took two 50pence pieces

[00:02:04] You'd have to wait half an hour for the water to heat up

[00:02:07] And keep an eye on the door

[00:02:10] In case some sod pinched your bath

[00:02:14] There was one toilet upstairs and one outside

[00:02:16] But no one used the outside one anymore

[00:02:19] So it was where the local prostitutes would take their clients for a quickie

[00:02:24] I'd spend as little time as I could in my room

[00:02:27] My skin was still warm and soft from the bath as I walked into town

[00:03:02] So I was sat on my usual bar stool in my usual pub by 6 30

[00:03:06] The usual twelve or so regulars in at this time of the evening

[00:03:09] Nice and relaxed before the post 8 00 crush

[00:03:14] We'd crowd around the tiny bar then pool tables

[00:03:17] The house rule for fool was winner stays on

[00:03:20] You'd chalk your name on the balckboard

[00:03:21] And wait your turn

[00:03:23] The challenger would pay for the game

[00:03:25] So if you were good

[00:03:26] You 'd play all night

[00:03:27] Tonight I was great

[00:03:30] She walked into the pool room just as I potted the black

[00:03:33] The next name on the list

[00:03:35] Bent down to the slot on the table and put coins in

[00:03:37] I was used to seeing her surrounded by burgundy flocked wallpaper

[00:03:41] And red velvet upholstery in the sunday night pub around the corner;

[00:03:47] She looked different stood here in the pool room

[00:03:49] She looked good she was looking at me

[00:03:52] I ended the game as quickly as I could

[00:03:54] Without losing badly and stood near her

[00:03:58] "Would you like a drink " she asked

[00:03:59] "I get them What do you want " I replied

[00:04:02] "The same as you're having" she said

[00:04:04] The great thing about being a regular

[00:04:06] When the bars turned deep is it only takes a raised eyebrow

[00:04:09] And a couple of nods

[00:04:10] And two bottles of Holster Pils had been passed over people's heads to you

[00:04:15] We did the pool room dance for a while

[00:04:17] Moving to" excuse me"'s bending around elbows

[00:04:19] And pool cues until we decided to move on

[00:04:24] It was too early to go to the club

[00:04:25] So we went around the corner to the Sunday night pub

[00:04:28] It was still quite busy on a Friday night

[00:04:30] Full of couples and students

[00:04:33] It had a reputation as a gay bar

[00:04:35] Probably why the students came in to feel safe

[00:04:40] She was my dream we drank pernod and blacks

[00:04:41] Talked about John Barry Ford Cortinas (she preferred the Mark 3)

[00:04:46] what was best: gel or Brylcream I preferred the Brylcream

[00:04:50] She even agreed On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the best Bond film

[00:04:54] If you accept it as a whole

[00:04:56] And not just get hung up about George Lazenby

[00:04:58] She smoked Silkcuts

[00:05:00] She didn't mind Marlboros

[00:05:01] But we both had a fondness for Old Port cigars

[00:05:07] We moved down to the club

[00:05:08] Upstairs for a couple of onion bhajis

[00:05:10] Went down to the quiet bar near the dance floors

[00:05:14] We decided to leave early

[00:05:15] You wouldn't want to be there in the end

[00:05:17] When the lights came on

[00:05:18] You'd never sit down in here again

[00:05:20] In a depressing shuffle we pushed to the door

[00:05:23] Now it was good to get up and out

[00:05:25] While it was still a black hole warm and smokey

[00:05:28] Full of possibilities

[00:06:34] She lived by the river

[00:06:35] The other side of town

[00:06:36] Queue for taxis was hell as usual

[00:06:39] Next to the late night chippy

[00:06:40] The worst chips you could buy

[00:06:42] But at this time of night full

[00:06:44] Outside fights and throwing up

[00:06:47] We jumped in the taxi nothing mattered but us

[00:06:51] Back at hers a bedsit in a house similar to mine

[00:06:54] She'd done something painted three walls

[00:06:56] Put up some old fifties star wall paper

[00:06:59] A big Bowie poster and some nice curtains

[00:07:02] It would be easy for me to change my woodchip magnolia bedsit standard

[00:07:05] Afterall it was my job She had a few lamps here and there were some candles

[00:07:12] She made us proper hot chocolate

[00:07:14] Not the instant shit you get from the machine

[00:07:18] She had Fox'sbiscuits and a small bottle of Cointreau too

[00:07:22] The end of a perfect day

[00:07:24] The taste of chocolate cigarette and orange liqueur made it even seem better

[00:07:29] I undid her tartan miniskirt pulled off her black wool tights

[00:07:33] My lips moved up her legs What the f**k

[00:07:37] I had a large hard dick poking me in the eye

[00:07:40] "Shit you're a chap " I felt like jumping through the window screaming

[00:07:46] I couldn't move

[00:07:47] She he still looked the same

[00:07:50] I had a pain in my head

[00:07:51] I wanted to do something say something

[00:07:54] He was holding me sobbing "

[00:07:56] You must have known how could you not tell "

[00:07:58] And "I love you I can be your woman "

[00:08:03] His eyes were still beautiful deep brown

[00:08:06] His lips still chocolatey and orangey

[00:08:08] "Shit " I said "I was never a breast man anyway "
