《The Sun Never Shines On The Poor》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sun Never Shines On The Poor - Richard Thompson

[00:00:02] Written by：Richard Thompson

[00:00:12] The urchins are writhing around in the mud

[00:00:16] Like eels playing tag in a barrel

[00:00:20] The old sally army sound mournful and sweet

[00:00:23] As they play an old Christmassy carol

[00:00:28] The world is as black as a dark night in hell

[00:00:32] What kind of a place can this be

[00:00:36] Old people like hermit crabs run into doorways

[00:00:40] All fearing to say do you feel a downtrodden as me

[00:00:47] Ting a ling ting a ling the devil he leans on your bell

[00:00:54] The future looks black as before

[00:00:58] And the sun never shines the sun never shines on the poor

[00:01:21] The rich man he dreams of his gold and his plate

[00:01:24] And his house and his car and his women

[00:01:28] The poor man he dreams of his one roomed estate

[00:01:32] And his wage packet short by one shilling

[00:01:37] The last penny falls through a hole in your jeans

[00:01:41] Now ain't that the way when you're down

[00:01:45] Just walking in circles for the rest of your life

[00:01:49] And feeling so low that your chin scrapes along the ground

[00:01:56] Ting a ling ting a ling the devil he leans on your bell

[00:02:03] The future looks black as before

[00:02:07] And the sun never shines the sun never shines on the poor

[00:02:30] Now some of the people are poor in the purse

[00:02:34] They don't have the cash at the read

[00:02:38] And some of the people are crippled and lame

[00:02:42] They can never stand up true and steady

[00:02:46] And some of the people are poor in the head

[00:02:50] Like the simpleton fools that you see

[00:02:54] But most of the people are poor in the heart

[00:02:59] It's the worst kind of poor it's the worst kind of poor you can be

[00:03:05] Ting a ling ting a ling the devil he leans on your bell

[00:03:12] The future looks black as before

[00:03:16] And the sun never shines oh the sun never shines on the poor
