《A Man Of Great Promise》歌词

[00:00:00] A Man Of Great Promise - The Style Council

[00:00:00] Written by：Paul Weller

[00:00:15] I bought the paper yesterday

[00:00:18] And I saw the obituary

[00:00:21] And I read of how you died in pain

[00:00:25] Well I just couldn't understand it

[00:00:29] If I could of changed that

[00:00:32] Then Lord knows I'd do it now

[00:00:35] But there is no going back

[00:00:39] And what's done is done forever

[00:00:45] But you were always chained

[00:00:48] And shackled by the dirt

[00:00:52] Of every small town institution

[00:00:55] And every big town flirt

[00:01:12] And I think of what you might have been

[00:01:15] A man of such great promise

[00:01:19] Oh but you seem to forget the dream

[00:01:22] And the more you saw you hated

[00:01:26] But let's not talk of blame

[00:01:29] For what is only natural

[00:01:33] Like a moth going to a flame

[00:01:37] You had a dangerous passion

[00:01:43] But you were always chained

[00:01:46] And shackled by the dirt

[00:01:50] Of every small town institution

[00:01:53] And every big town flirt

[00:01:57] All the things that you might have been

[00:02:00] But who am I to say

[00:02:03] Still I wonder

[00:02:04] If it's the cold earth you prefer to lay

[00:02:11] If it's the cold earth you prefer to stay
