[00:00:01] Artist：joe jackson

[00:00:02] Songs Title：the man who wrote danny boy

[00:00:24] It happened one night

[00:00:27] At three in the morning

[00:00:30] The devil appeared in my studio room

[00:00:35] And he said Im your pal

[00:00:37] And Ill make you a deal

[00:00:41] Blow away your struggle

[00:00:45] And Ill take your soul for a toy

[00:00:59] After rubbing my eyes

[00:01:02] I looked all around me

[00:01:05] At the half-finished drivel Id worked on for days

[00:01:10] And I told him my dream

[00:01:13] Was to live for all time

[00:01:16] In some perfect refrain

[00:01:19] Like the man who wrote danny boy

[00:01:33] And I said if youre real then Ill ask you a question

[00:01:38] While most of us turn into ashes or dust

[00:01:42] Just you and that other guy go on forever

[00:01:47] But who writes the history

[00:01:49] And who do I trust

[00:02:11] He gave me a wink

[00:02:13] And he said it was funny

[00:02:16] How mortals would pour all their blood sweat and tears

[00:02:21] Onto tape onto paper

[00:02:24] Or into the air

[00:02:28] To be lost and forgotten

[00:02:31] Outside of his kind employ

[00:02:41] Then I thought I could hear a great sound in the distance

[00:02:46] Of whiskey-soaked singing

[00:02:48] And laughter and cheers

[00:02:51] And theyre saying that song could bring tears to a glass eye

[00:02:55] So pass me the papers Ill sign them in blood

[00:03:04] And the smell of the brimstone was turned into greasepaint

[00:03:08] And the roar of the crowd like the furies of hell

[00:03:12] And I hear the applause and I hear the bells ringing

[00:03:17] And the sound of a womans voice from the next room

[00:03:24] Saying come to me now

[00:03:28] Come lay down beside me

[00:03:31] Whatever youre doing youre too gone to see

[00:03:36] You cant hold onto shadows no more than to years

[00:03:44] So be glad for the pleasures

[00:03:47] Were young enough to enjoy

[00:04:16] So maybe Im drunk

[00:04:19] Or maybe a liar

[00:04:22] Or maybe were all living inside a dream

[00:04:27] You can say what you like

[00:04:29] When Im gone then youll see

[00:04:34] Ill be down in the dark

[00:04:38] Down underground

[00:04:41] With shakespeare and bach

[00:04:43] And the man who wrote danny boy
