《Letter From Abroad》歌词

[00:00:00] Letter From Abroad - John Cale

[00:00:17] It's a squalid little town with a tenuous beauty

[00:00:22] The cool wet mornings are so appealing

[00:00:28] People waking up suddenly in the night

[00:00:35] Very disappointed

[00:00:51] At the water's edge fishermen smashing

[00:00:58] Their boats – taking nothing for granted

[00:01:03] In a few hours the heat will hang over town

[00:01:08] As the northeast monsoon comes roaring in

[00:01:13] Can you feel it

[00:01:19] Can you feel it

[00:01:25] Afghanistan Afghanistan

[00:01:28] Whatever happened to you

[00:01:36] Afghanistan Afghanistan

[00:01:39] Whatever happened to you

[00:01:42] I don't really care but I thought I'd ask in

[00:01:45] Case it mattered to you – let me hear it

[00:01:59] They're cutting their heads of in the soccer field

[00:02:04] Stretching their necks in the goal

[00:02:10] Taking them out in the elephant grass

[00:02:16] Feeding them to the hyena's

[00:02:21] Don't you hear it

[00:02:52] Everybody's lips are thin –

[00:02:55] Eventually eyes are empty

[00:03:00] From abroad life is cheaper back home

[00:03:09] Can you feel it

[00:03:12] Afghanistan Afghanistan

[00:03:15] Whatever happened to you

[00:03:17] Let me hear it

[00:03:24] Afghanistan Afghanistan

[00:03:26] Whatever happened to you

[00:03:29] Let me hear it

[00:03:35] Afghanistan Afghanistan

[00:03:38] Whatever happened to you

[00:03:41] Afghanistan Afghanistan

[00:03:43] Whatever happened to you

[00:03:57] You learn form novels living out there rainfall

[00:04:04] Is followed by thunder

[00:04:09] You hear a man's voice soothing and

[00:04:13] Calm – "I understand no problem"

[00:04:20] I understand no problem

[00:04:26] I understand no problem

[00:04:32] I understand no problem

[00:04:38] I understand no problem
