《Political Lies》歌词

[00:00:00] Political Lies - Robin Williamson

[00:00:01] Written by：Robin Williamson/Steve Lake

[00:00:23] In the summer that my son was born

[00:00:28] In the same changing town that fathered me

[00:00:33] I retraced many steps trying

[00:00:35] To fill my own footsteps

[00:00:38] But this is the truth perhaps there is no return

[00:00:44] Political lies political promises

[00:00:49] This shadow everywhere

[00:00:52] Sense of powerlessness

[00:00:55] You and I left stumbling

[00:00:58] In their blindness

[00:00:59] The blindness of Wall Street

[00:01:02] Moscow

[00:01:03] And White Hall

[00:01:14] How many miles I walked by the union canal

[00:01:19] Thinking of the hands that made it

[00:01:22] The hands of the navies

[00:01:24] Thinking of the patient horses

[00:01:27] That pulled along the barges

[00:01:29] Whose tow ropes have rubbed groves

[00:01:32] On the pillars of the bridges

[00:01:34] And I thought this What rubs you rubs me

[00:01:41] Political lies political promises

[00:01:46] This shadow everywhere

[00:01:48] The sense of powerlessness

[00:01:51] You and I left waiting in the history

[00:01:55] A history of mystery a history of betrayal

[00:02:09] All along the banks of the union canal

[00:02:15] I walked in the flaming sunset

[00:02:16] Of one summer's evening

[00:02:20] Scottish skin head glue head Scottish flag

[00:02:22] The tune in his head

[00:02:23] Looks at the sky and asks me

[00:02:26] What does it mean

[00:02:31] Political lies political promises

[00:02:35] This shadow everywhere

[00:02:37] The sense of powerlessness

[00:02:41] You and I left basking in the anguish

[00:02:45] The anguish of those we have failed to hear

[00:03:09] In the night I listen to my own darkness

[00:03:15] I think being born and dying have the same tax bases

[00:03:19] I think about the signature of God on the prison

[00:03:23] And about following sides and becoming lost again

[00:03:30] Political lies political promises

[00:03:35] This shadow everywhere the sense of powerlessness

[00:03:40] And you and I left with the same old question

[00:03:45] The sheer unspeakable strangeness

[00:03:47] Of being here at all
