《The Thresher(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Thresher (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:10] In Portsmouth town on the eastern shore

[00:00:13] Where many a fine ship was born

[00:00:17] The Thresher was built

[00:00:19] And the Thresher was launched

[00:00:21] And the crew of the Thresher was sworn

[00:00:25] She was shaped like a tear

[00:00:27] She was built like a shark

[00:00:29] She was made to run fast and free

[00:00:33] And the builders shook their hands

[00:00:34] And the builders shared their wine

[00:00:37] And thought that they had mastered the sea

[00:00:40] Yes she'll always run silent

[00:00:44] And she'll always run deep

[00:00:47] Though the ocean has no pity

[00:00:51] Though the waves will never weep

[00:00:54] They'll never weep

[00:00:58] And they marvelled at her speed

[00:01:00] Marvelled at her depth

[00:01:02] Marvelled at her deadly design

[00:01:06] And they sailed to every land

[00:01:07] And they sailed to every port

[00:01:09] Just to see what faults they could find

[00:01:13] Then they put her on the land

[00:01:15] For nine months to stand

[00:01:16] And they worked on her from stem to stern

[00:01:21] But they could never see

[00:01:22] It was their coffin to be

[00:01:24] For the sea was waiting for their return

[00:01:28] Yes she'll always run silent

[00:01:31] And she'll always run deep

[00:01:35] Though the ocean has no pity

[00:01:38] And the waves will never weep

[00:01:42] They'll never weep

[00:01:46] On a cold Wednesday morn

[00:01:48] They put her out to sea

[00:01:49] When the waves they were nine feet high

[00:01:53] And they dove beneath the waves

[00:01:55] And they dove to their graves

[00:01:57] And they never said a last goodbye

[00:02:00] And its deeper and deeper

[00:02:02] And deeper they dove

[00:02:04] Just to see what their ship could stand

[00:02:08] But the hull gave a moan

[00:02:09] And the hull gave a groan

[00:02:11] And they plunged to the deepest darkest sand

[00:02:15] Now she lies in the depths

[00:02:17] Of the darkened ocean floor

[00:02:19] Covered by the waters cold and still

[00:02:22] Oh can't you see the wrong

[00:02:24] She was a death ship all along

[00:02:26] Died before she had a chance to kill

[00:02:30] And she'll never run silent

[00:02:33] And she'll never run deep

[00:02:37] For the ocean had no pity

[00:02:41] And the waves they never weep

[00:02:44] They never weep
