《The Crock Of Gold》歌词

[00:00:00] The Crock Of Gold - The Tossers

[00:01:02] We'll live out our lives on this dirty old street

[00:01:13] Only because we just can't compete

[00:01:23] But in the concrete in our younger days

[00:01:27] We left our names

[00:01:34] Our names

[00:01:39] Just like the people before when they reached

[00:01:48] The distant shore with their drink and their dance

[00:01:57] And their dreams and sincere aims

[00:02:05] All ghosts long gone through old buildings they stare

[00:02:11] With their offspring staring at me for they are still there

[00:02:16] Dreams that are dead and lives not realized

[00:02:25] But why did we write our names in these streets

[00:02:30] To show we're alive

[00:02:37] We're alive

[00:02:42] We're alive

[00:02:48] We're alive

[00:02:52] We're alive

[00:03:00] Well Chicago is my home and I'll never want to roam

[00:03:04] To live on any sun swept distant shore

[00:03:07] Well it is where I was reared by forbearers so revered

[00:03:11] And I sing the songs that they all sang before

[00:03:14] Well any woman that's neared me

[00:03:16] Has been repelled most thoroughly

[00:03:18] Still I'm a lover God

[00:03:20] I am foremost of all

[00:03:22] A musician that's my call of high degree professional

[00:03:26] But I'm afraid I do not know my trade at all

[00:03:29] And if it's every twenty years

[00:03:31] Some small relief to me appears

[00:03:33] Then the crock of gold will wait until that day

[00:03:37] To defend myself no more

[00:03:39] Lay the shield of anger at my door

[00:03:41] And the sword of alcohol will stow away

[00:03:44] All the young people in our town are overworked

[00:03:47] And broken down

[00:03:48] Begging cheques but it's just not enough they're giving

[00:03:52] Crying quietly living life so desperately

[00:03:56] That something has to make this life worth living

[00:03:59] Real life is only a timeline

[00:04:01] And the excitement holds the short times

[00:04:03] It will never measure up to what T V sells as great

[00:04:06] All the drunken jokes and views

[00:04:08] Exciting pubs they tell the news

[00:04:10] But the exciting pats well

[00:04:12] They just weren't all that great

[00:04:14] And if it's every twenty years

[00:04:16] Some small relief to me appears

[00:04:18] Then the crock of gold will wait until that day

[00:04:21] To defend myself no more

[00:04:23] Lay the shield of anger at my door

[00:04:25] And the sword of alcohol will stow away

[00:04:29] Go

[00:04:59] Well I met a girl one night

[00:05:00] And enchantment fixed our sight

[00:05:03] So we decided we would hold it for awhile

[00:05:06] Oh but she would not love me

[00:05:08] So inside me finally I said

[00:05:10] It's not your fault

[00:05:11] But I would like love if only for a while

[00:05:14] Well it's on and on I've seen

[00:05:15] Yeah that's how it's always been

[00:05:17] And how it will be as ever on I go

[00:05:21] Oh but ever on I will

[00:05:23] Through all the banal times until I find some

[00:05:26] Place to me that seems like home

[00:05:28] Oh and if it's every twenty years

[00:05:30] Some small relief to me appears

[00:05:32] Then the crock of gold will wait until that day

[00:05:36] To defend myself no more

[00:05:38] Lay the shield of anger at my door

[00:05:40] And the sword of alcohol will stow away

[00:05:43] Oh and if it's every twenty years

[00:05:45] Some small relief to me appears

[00:05:47] Then the crock of gold will wait until that day

[00:05:50] To defend myself no more

[00:05:52] Lay the shield of anger at my door

[00:05:54] And the sword of alcohol will stow away
