[00:00:00] The Hustler - Marc Almond/The Willing Sinners

[00:00:01] Written by：Marc Almond

[00:00:21] Over there

[00:00:22] In the cold

[00:00:23] Stands the hustler

[00:00:25] His eyes are old

[00:00:27] He has seen a million ugly scenes

[00:00:35] Places where men droop with mould

[00:00:38] The backrooms

[00:00:39] Where soiled goods are sold

[00:00:42] Seeing with opened eyes frail

[00:00:46] Fifteen

[00:00:48] He found it hard at first but

[00:00:52] On his brow there sits a curse

[00:00:54] For when

[00:00:56] Young must suffer

[00:00:58] At the hands

[00:01:00] Of men

[00:01:03] Memories of Christmas past

[00:01:06] Were never there to ever last

[00:01:10] Things as were can never

[00:01:14] Be again

[00:01:19] Over there by the wall

[00:01:21] Stands the hustler

[00:01:22] He's

[00:01:23] Not very tall

[00:01:25] He's trampled

[00:01:26] By the jaded by the sly

[00:01:32] He's seen the darker side of men

[00:01:35] First

[00:01:36] Fascinated

[00:01:38] And then

[00:01:39] He found his urge to laugh

[00:01:43] An urge to cry

[00:01:47] He'll find close friends

[00:01:49] No friend at all

[00:01:51] He feels so lonely tired and small

[00:01:54] How few are chosen from

[00:01:59] The golden call

[00:02:05] There's something in us all it seems

[00:02:08] To crave adventure

[00:02:10] Hunt for dreams

[00:02:11] But

[00:02:12] Corruption the seducer spoils our schemes

[00:02:19] And surely

[00:02:20] As the snow will melt

[00:02:23] The hustler

[00:02:23] Grabs his soul

[00:02:25] And heads for home

[00:02:27] With lessons

[00:02:29] Learnt under

[00:02:31] His belt

[00:02:36] Over there

[00:02:37] By the wall

[00:02:39] Stands the hustler

[00:02:40] With the men of law

[00:02:42] On

[00:02:43] Either side to flank the sallow

[00:02:47] Youth

[00:02:48] Ahhhh but some of us

[00:02:51] Will never learn

[00:02:53] It takes the blow of fists to burn

[00:02:57] How

[00:02:57] Painfully we suffer

[00:03:01] For the truth
