《Shane And Dixie》歌词

[00:04:05] Shane And Dixie - Richard Thompson

[00:04:05] Shane and Dixie they were two-bit crooks

[00:04:05] They wanted to be famous like you read in books

[00:04:05] Shane had the brain and Dxie had the looks for glory

[00:04:05] As a bank robber Shane really hadn't got a clue

[00:04:05] He'd end up likely at the end of a noose

[00:04:05] Which was fine by Shane if the papers could use the story

[00:04:05] CHORUS

[00:04:05] Fame and love, fame and love

[00:04:05] Fame and love will never die

[00:04:05] Shane said to Dixie, we're getting nowhere

[00:04:05] But I've a fine idea if you love me, swear

[00:04:05] We'll be household names if we only dare, forever

[00:04:05] Here's two bullets in my old carbine

[00:04:05] One is yours and the other is mine

[00:04:05] Then we'll be happy till the end of time together

[00:04:05] CHORUS

[00:04:05] She screams, she swears

[00:04:05] She tears her hair

[00:04:05] Saying, Shane this time

[00:04:05] You've lost your mind

[00:04:05] Shane took aim with the 16-bore

[00:04:05] And Dixie lay dying down there on the floor

[00:04:05] Shane was shaken but his purpose was more inspired

[00:04:05] Shane said, Lord what have I done

[00:04:05] But this victory is only halfway won

[00:04:05] Then he put the barrel underneath his tongue and fired

[00:04:05] CHORUS

[00:04:05] They found the bodies when the neighbours complained

[00:04:05] Shane was all over the walls like paint

[00:04:05] Dixie looked bad but her heart beat faint but surely

[00:04:05] Well they saved her life, they were just in time

[00:04:05] And she turned her back on a life of crime

[00:04:05] And she married the man who came to type out her story

[00:04:05] O the news of the screws most generously gave

[00:04:05] The money helped to pay for Shane's new grave

[00:04:05] And it looked so fine till the vandals sprayed it over

[00:04:05] Time went by and the weeds grew high

[00:04:05] And hid Shane's grave from the curious eye

[00:04:05] And maybe that's why we forget those lines he told her

[00:04:05] CHORUS
