《Bastard Landlord》歌词

[00:00:00] Bastard Landlord - The Pogues

[00:00:08] Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know

[00:00:11] Who makes the plans that change our lives so

[00:00:15] From a place in the country so peaceful and calm

[00:00:18] We moved up to London as the bombs fell around

[00:00:22] To a house by the river where the rent it was cheap

[00:00:25] The Landlord he told us Its yours to keep'

[00:00:28] For regular payment week after week

[00:00:32] You'll always have a roof under which you can sleep

[00:00:36] The years past by the war came to an end

[00:00:39] We lived out our lives did nothing to offend

[00:00:43] But the Landlord's conditions yearly they grew

[00:00:47] With the size of his gut and his housing values

[00:00:50] He'd kneel on a Sunday and pray to the Lord

[00:00:53] For the deals of love his world cannot afford

[00:00:57] When the Bastard he came round to put up our rent

[00:01:00] We swallowed our pride and we smiled our best

[00:01:04] Bricks and mortar Kingdom of Stone

[00:01:08] Where do you go when you're all alone

[00:01:11] They'll carve your name where you lie

[00:01:14] And I for one no tears will cry

[00:01:25] Greed knows no boundaries greed doesn't feel

[00:01:28] I'm damned if I'll die for a profiting deal

[00:01:32] The woman next door she just passed away

[00:01:35] 'Cause the rent got so high that she just couldn't pay

[00:01:39] And there in the bed she closed up her eyes

[00:01:42] The last time she gazed on this world of lies

[00:01:46] With nowhere to go and nothing to say

[00:01:49] She went to the next world and the Bastard he smiled

[00:01:53] Bricks and mortar Kingdom of Stone

[00:01:56] Where do you go when you're all alone

[00:02:00] They'll carve your name where you lie

[00:02:03] And I for one no tears will cry

[00:02:14] Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know

[00:02:17] What makes some people so callous and cold

[00:02:21] I've lived in this house for forty four years

[00:02:24] My children were born here it's here I'll grow old

[00:02:28] A curse on you Bastard Landlord be damned

[00:02:31] Who needs one more house like a

[00:02:33] Beach needs more sand

[00:02:35] I'll stay here till I'm done only nobody knows

[00:02:38] How God can let one man treat others so
