《January’s Little Joke》歌词

[00:00:22] All I can hear is the clucking of tongues

[00:00:26] I can see them

[00:00:30] Plucking at crumbs of conversations

[00:00:34] A drunk uncle's breath

[00:00:39] And they're touching my hand

[00:00:57] As now turns into then

[00:00:59] Dream turns into dreamt

[00:01:23] Spend turns into spent

[00:01:23] One turns into one too many

[00:01:25] Say when

[00:01:25] And in the blue corner

[00:01:27] Crouches a mediocre joker

[00:01:41] The laughs are on me

[00:01:41] And the arch of my back cracks under the weight

[00:02:19] Of the wisecracks

[00:02:28] Stop the clock I want to get off

[00:02:38] Though I knew what argue meant

[00:02:42] And I knew what punish meant

[00:02:44] And I knew what embarrass meant

[00:02:48] I never found out what achieve meant

[00:02:50] All heaven broke loose

[00:02:53] But I knew they had something to hide

[00:03:17] They were turning the page

[00:03:18] But I glimpsed the very last line

[00:03:29] Now we raise a toast to celebrate

[00:03:34] As December's embers fade

[00:04:12] But every fire is just a hoax

[00:04:26] For January's little joke
