《Let The Canefields Burn(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Let The Canefields Burn (Live) - Graeme Connors

[00:00:32] There's a painting of my grandfather on my mothers side

[00:00:40] In the hallway of our homestaed in a special place of pride

[00:00:47] With his bulldogs and kanakas back in eighteen nighty three

[00:00:55] In a linen suit and a panama they say he looked like me

[00:01:05] And the story goes he came out to make a brand new start

[00:01:12] In an effort to forget a sad affair of the heart

[00:01:20] So with these romantic notions to the colonies he came

[00:01:27] Where he settled in the tropics and made his fortune growing cane

[00:01:36] Well let the canefields burn let the flames rise

[00:01:43] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:01:48] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:01:51] Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain

[00:02:00] When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames

[00:02:21] There's a photo of my parents taken in between the wars

[00:02:28] In London Rome or Paris I don't know for sure

[00:02:36] But it hangs there in the hallway and there's one for every year

[00:02:44] Fortunes made and fortunes paid for champagne souveniers

[00:02:52] Well let the canefields burn let the flames rise

[00:03:00] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:03:05] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:03:07] Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain

[00:03:16] When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames

[00:03:30] And they say they're gonna take this all away from me

[00:03:37] The cars the cane the homestead all my family history

[00:03:53] Let the auctioneer open with a price for charred remains

[00:04:01] Well let the canefields burn let the flames rise

[00:04:09] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:04:13] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:04:16] Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain

[00:04:25] When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames

[00:04:34] Let the canefields burn let the flames rise

[00:04:41] Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up

[00:04:46] In wonder at the glow at in the sky

[00:04:49] Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain

[00:04:57] When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames
