《Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner (Live Version)(Live Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner (Live Version) - Warren Zevon

[00:03:42] Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun

[00:03:48] With a Thompson gun for hire fighting to be done

[00:03:55] The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day

[00:04:01] So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

[00:04:09] Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war

[00:04:15] With their fingers on their triggers knee-deep in gore

[00:04:22] For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees

[00:04:28] They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

[00:04:38] Roland the Thompson gunner

[00:04:44] Roland the Thompson gunner

[00:04:52] His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest

[00:04:59] But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best

[00:05:05] So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead

[00:05:12] That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

[00:05:21] Roland the headless Thompson gunner

[00:05:27] Norway's bravest son

[00:05:33] They can still see his headless body stalking through the night

[00:05:40] In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

[00:05:47] In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

[00:06:01] Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in

[00:06:08] He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin

[00:06:15] Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word

[00:06:21] But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

[00:06:30] Roland the headless Thompson gunner

[00:06:37] Roland the headless Thompson gunner

[00:06:44] Roland the headless Thompson gunner

[00:06:48] Talkin' about the man

[00:06:51] Roland the headless Thompson gunner

[00:10:11] The eternal Thompson gunner still wandering through the night

[00:10:20] Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight

[00:10:27] In Ireland in Lebanon in Palestine and Berkeley

[00:10:50] Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it
