《The Well-Travelled Man》歌词

[00:00:00] The Well-Travelled Man - Skyclad

[00:00:24] Seems so many years now since he set off down the road

[00:00:30] For the bright lights of the city and his story to unfold

[00:00:37] No strings no family plans no ties to hold him down

[00:00:41] His first avowed intent to leave this dormitory town

[00:00:47] At first he lay just dreaming till he hit upon a plan

[00:00:53] To be a true civilian and a well-travelled man

[00:01:42] His father told him: "Listen son the world lies at your feet

[00:01:48] Great lands of opportunity and strangers all to meet

[00:01:53] So seize the day go make your mark

[00:01:56] 'Cause fortune loves the brave

[00:01:58] So many places to be seen

[00:02:01] Before you see your grave

[00:02:03] See the stars shoot over Cape Town

[00:02:06] Where the oceans all converge

[00:02:09] Ride the desert train at midnight

[00:02:11] Even sail the universe"

[00:02:17] Gather round come one come all

[00:02:20] Listen best ye can

[00:02:23] Raise a glass and give a cheer

[00:02:25] You can see all at once he's a well-travelled man

[00:02:39] That long and dusty trail it ran to anywhere but home

[00:02:44] Dined equally with pagan chiefs and emperors of Rome

[00:02:49] Through ages dark and winters long lost in the strangest lands

[00:02:55] Through countless revolutions saw man's cruelty to man

[00:03:00] Been a butcher been a saviour

[00:03:03] Been a friend you wouldn't choose

[00:03:05] Built temples and filled graveyards

[00:03:08] For the side that couldn't lose

[00:03:11] Would you walk with him as spirits

[00:03:13] In the quiet of the night

[00:03:16] And seek to have the power

[00:03:19] For to set the world to right

[00:03:25] Gather round come one come all

[00:03:27] Listen best ye can

[00:03:30] Raise a glass and give a cheer

[00:03:32] You can see all at once he's a well-travelled man

[00:03:35] Gather round come one come all

[00:03:38] Listen best ye can

[00:03:41] Raise a glass and give a cheer

[00:03:43] You can say what you like he's a well-travelled man

[00:03:59] Seems so many years now since he set off all alone

[00:04:05] To see the wonders of this world prove the stories he'd been sold

[00:04:11] Seeks the milk of human kindness and he takes it where he can

[00:04:16] From the yachts of Monte Carlo to a teahouse in Japan

[00:04:22] But now he sits forsaken with a beer glass in his hand

[00:04:28] Won't anybody listen to the well-travelled man
