[00:00:00] The Boxer - Jess & Matt

[00:00:01] Lyricist：Paul Simon

[00:00:03] Composer：Paul Simon

[00:00:05] I am just a poor boy

[00:00:07] Though my story's seldom told

[00:00:09] I have squandered my resistance

[00:00:12] For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises

[00:00:18] All lies and jests

[00:00:20] Still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:23] And disregards the rest

[00:00:25] La la la la

[00:00:31] When I left my home and my family

[00:00:33] I was no more than a boy

[00:00:35] In the company of strangers

[00:00:38] In the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:41] Running scared

[00:00:44] Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters

[00:00:49] Where the ragged people go

[00:00:51] Looking for the places

[00:00:53] Only they would know

[00:00:57] Ooooh

[00:00:59] La la lie

[00:01:02] La la la la la la lie

[00:01:04] La la lie

[00:01:07] La la lie la lie la la la la la lie

[00:01:15] Asking only workman's wages

[00:01:17] I come looking for a job

[00:01:20] But I get no offers

[00:01:23] Just a come on from the whores

[00:01:25] On Seventh Avenue

[00:01:29] I do declare

[00:01:30] There were times when I was so lonesome

[00:01:33] I took some comfort there la la la la lie

[00:01:39] Oooh

[00:01:41] La la lie

[00:01:43] La la la la la la lie

[00:01:46] La la lie

[00:01:49] La la lie la lie la la la la la lie

[00:01:57] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:01:59] And wishing I was gone

[00:02:02] Going home

[00:02:05] Where the New York City winters

[00:02:07] Aren't bleeding me

[00:02:10] Leading me

[00:02:15] Going home

[00:02:20] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:23] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:25] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:28] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:02:31] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:02:33] In his anger and his shame

[00:02:36] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:02:38] But the fighter still remains la la la lie

[00:02:44] Ooooh

[00:02:46] La la lie

[00:02:48] La la la la la la lie

[00:02:51] La la lie

[00:02:54] La la lie la lie la la la la la lie

[00:02:59] La la la la la la lie

[00:03:02] La la lie

[00:03:04] La la lie la lie la la la la la lie

[00:03:09] La la la la la la lie

[00:03:12] La la lie

[00:03:15] La la lie la lie la la la la la lie

[00:03:20] La la la la la la lie

[00:03:22] La la lie

[00:03:25] La la lie la lie la la la la la lie
