《In Recognition(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] In Recognition - The Proclaimers

[00:00:10] In recognition of

[00:00:12] A hundred million album sales

[00:00:15] In recognition of your popularity

[00:00:20] You take your gaudy prize

[00:00:22] From people you said you despise

[00:00:25] You wear your self-respect

[00:00:27] Upon your bended knee

[00:00:29] In spite of all your claims

[00:00:33] It looks like youre just the same

[00:00:37] As every other clown

[00:00:39] Who likes to put the crown

[00:00:41] Before or after their name

[00:00:45] In recognition of

[00:00:47] Your service to the working class

[00:00:51] In recognition of your party loyalty

[00:00:56] You get an ermine robe

[00:00:57] And you declare when you are probed

[00:01:01] You only took it

[00:01:02] So the missus would be pleased

[00:01:04] In spite of all your claims

[00:01:08] It looks like youre just the same

[00:01:12] As every other clown

[00:01:14] Who likes to put the crown

[00:01:16] Before or after their names

[00:01:21] Oh vanity

[00:01:25] It gets them one by one

[00:01:29] Patronage monarchy

[00:01:33] But only in tale rarely frail

[00:01:37] In recognition of

[00:01:39] Your bravery up on the stage

[00:01:42] In recognition of your bankability

[00:01:47] You get to wait in lines

[00:01:49] With soldiers crippled by land mines

[00:01:52] And you think its the Yanks

[00:01:54] That dont get irony

[00:01:56] In spite of all your claims

[00:02:00] It looks like youre just the same

[00:02:04] As every other clown

[00:02:06] Who likes to put the crown

[00:02:08] Before or after their name

[00:02:12] In spite of all your claims

[00:02:16] It looks like your just the same

[00:02:20] As every other clown

[00:02:22] Who likes to put the crown

[00:02:24] Before or after their name

[00:02:29] Their name

[00:02:34] Their name

[00:02:38] Their name
