《Old Jack’s Charm》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Jack's Charm - Marc Almond

[00:00:15] It was in the tattoo parlour

[00:00:17] Where he engraved their names

[00:00:20] Words a winding round his shoulders

[00:00:23] Reminders now he's older

[00:00:33] In the magic of the parlour

[00:00:36] Down his arm unwinds a story

[00:00:39] Love and hate and Mum and Dad

[00:00:41] In flames of hope and glory

[00:00:44] A mermaid and a schooner

[00:00:47] Tells us he was once at sea

[00:00:50] A heart pierced by an arrow

[00:00:53] Tells us once more in love was he

[00:00:56] And a dragon spitting fire

[00:00:59] He's forgotten what that's for

[00:01:01] But tattooed on his mind

[00:01:04] Is a reminder of the war

[00:01:08] He gave up tattooing lovers

[00:01:10] Where no room for any others

[00:01:13] A line through every sweetheart

[00:01:15] With another etched below

[00:01:20] In every port a stormy girl

[00:01:23] They loved him and they loved him so

[00:01:26] Each one for all to see adorned

[00:01:29] With Cupids and with bows

[00:01:31] A mermaid and a schooner

[00:01:34] Tells us he was once at sea

[00:01:37] A heart pierced by an arrow

[00:01:40] Tells us once more in love was he

[00:01:43] And a dragon spitting fire

[00:01:46] He's forgotten what that's for

[00:01:49] But tattooed on his mind is a reminder of war

[00:01:55] In the magic of the parlour

[00:01:58] Swapping laughter swapping stories

[00:02:00] Where the words are often hard

[00:02:03] And the air is always blue

[00:02:06] He remembers all his mates from then

[00:02:09] He lost a couple maybe ten

[00:02:12] Their headstone on his forearm as a crucifix tattoo

[00:02:34] Now he leans upon the bar

[00:02:36] With a mysterious air

[00:02:39] And the ladies gather round

[00:02:41] To view his decorated arms

[00:02:45] He'll tell them of each scroll and line

[00:02:48] And other scars not so fine

[00:02:51] And they always want to see

[00:02:53] A little more of Old Jacks Charms

[00:03:00] A mermaid and a schooner

[00:03:03] Tells us he was once at sea

[00:03:05] A heart pierced by an arrow

[00:03:08] Tells us once more in love was he

[00:03:11] And a dragon spitting fire

[00:03:14] He's forgotten what that's for

[00:03:17] But tattooed on his mind is a reminder of war
