《There’s Something At The Bottom Of The Black Pool》歌词

[00:00:03] There's Something At The Bottom Of The Black Pool-Augie March

[00:00:11] There's something at the bottom of the black pool

[00:00:15] I daren't dredge it up not while the weather's still cool

[00:00:19] It's a feathered thing its origins are mixed and untrue

[00:00:22] Once a straw-body now a lamb-picker now a clove in a black brew

[00:00:28] I think of the peacocks of the gorge

[00:00:30] And I think of the gryphons they kept in the Tower Zoo

[00:00:34] The unexpected water swept all before it

[00:00:37] As it rushed on terrible through -

[00:00:40] And left them all dead and spread through the park

[00:00:44] Amid the myriad mangles of the coming dark -

[00:00:47] Of the shadow of a loon the howl from a bloody craw

[00:00:51] Those strange interruptions don't scare me anymore

[00:00:56] Since all the while the weather was cool

[00:01:00] I stood at the crumbling edge of the black pool

[00:01:10] Perhaps a pigeon fell off its stool

[00:01:15] I have drowned a conscience or two

[00:01:18] There are palm trees and clouds and the under-sides of drowned blues

[00:01:23] And sometimes the faces of people I think I knew

[00:01:27] I know at one time this thing flew

[00:01:30] I have sunk an ambition or two

[00:01:33] Now when I think to drink then I wonder with who

[00:01:37] I pretend that I'm sitting in the booth with you -

[00:01:40] O what a f**kin' sentence what a f**kin' noise

[00:01:44] I don't know these girls I don't trust these boys

[00:01:47] And over there in the corner there hangs a strange bird

[00:01:51] Sings a strange song but it won't be heard

[00:01:55] A song to enquire whither went the milk money

[00:02:00] While the darling babes of Toorak were a'yowling for their honey

[00:02:24] Let's walk up this hill let's go walking up this hill

[00:02:33] The sun is in the middle of the sky the grass is yellow from being dry

[00:02:41] There's music there's you many others here and I

[00:02:48] Up the hill then up where those holy lodestones lie -

[00:02:54] How suddenly still and though the wind blow

[00:02:59] From here we will never leave or go

[00:03:02] And but for a will and but for companions

[00:03:06] We might go tumbling home below

[00:03:10] To a place at the table to gamble and settle

[00:03:13] Make the words amiable and able

[00:03:17] Of resting assured in the breast of that bird

[00:03:21] That I sure did not suffer a fool

[00:03:25] Since all the while the weather was cool

[00:03:29] I stood at the crumbling edge of the black pool
